tbird, that order does not work well with the X800 seires. I'm sure mike is using the right order.
I have no doubts about Mike's skills, I was just wondering what my order would do. I am also wondering how can Mickymouse be so close to Mike despite 100MHz cpu clocks because when I clock my cpu 100MHz less I lose alot more in the cpu tests and we know how cpu intensive x8** are. congras again Mike and id be honored to talk to you on aim, put a reminder to log in :D
@ Ryder: lol, "high-end bench setup", not quite a traditional high-end setup. Just had to qualify that. ;)
@ eshbach: DI temps were pretty amazing. No matter the cpu clocks it held around -69.5C idle in XP, -68.5C loaded and in 2K/ACPI. The only thing that changed was how often I had to dump more ice in. I had a probe right on the side of the block. One of those pics I'm linking shows -69.6C, that was taken while in XP at 3.5GHz and 1.85V....couldn't quite 3d there.
@ T-Bird: MM gets 400 points just in those 2 tests, plus another frame or so in some of the others due to gpu. The rest I think is due to my mem @ 267 and probably some errors from them. After 260 MHz I can't give them much tweaking, and 267 is the fastest I've ever had them in Windows. I went ahead and took a little hit and kept them that speed because 240's with the 14 multi just hurt even more. Oh, and I won't chase higher until r520 or FX-57 comes out. 8K, 18K, and 42K were the most I was hoping for, so I'm there. I might take one more crack at 3.5GHz with my BH-5 at 270 MHz tonight since I still have some DI, but I'm not real motivated after an all nighter.
And pics:
Getting setup. I just used the LS socket kit and some extra grease spread around the edges, just in case. Mobo was mounted on a piece of shelving I put stand-offs on and had a mobo sized piece of foam sandwiched in between. My lazy butt left the psu in my case so the green wire on the vc and mobo is extra grounding to the back of the psu.

And in all it's glory. Probes and wires and fans everywhere, lol. I cut out one of those diposable Glad dishes and wedged that over the foam at the top of the tube. "Mike-proofing". :) http://mysite.verizon.net/res6otqr/s...s/DSCN0874.jpg
That 3.5GHz temp shot: http://mysite.verizon.net/res6otqr/s...s/DSCN0882.jpg
And one more...a look inside. This was at the end of the night, the vapors had made an pretty nice ice build up at the top by then.

good stuff mike, -70C is pretty solid for DI.
just out of curiosity, are you using some of the mounting hardware for the DD maze4 gpu block on your x850? i do the same exact thing if so :)
very impressive photos! How many pounds of DI did you have, how much left and how fast do you go thru? Might have enough left for a quick bh5 run in 2001 ;)
mikead_99.......................
Dude, I am just lost for words!!
Impressive stuff...
I dont even know what to ask or where to begin :)
I agree completely, very impressive indead. Mikead_99 you have obviously become one of the "who's who" of overclocking and benchmarking. Keep up the good work :DQuote:

Geez, mike, is there a computer underneath all that?:eek: Your pic kinda reminds of another's, Shamino, everything's hanging out in the open like that!:eek: But damn! Your scores are so impressive that the ranger has dropped by to compliment you.;) Hey ranger, how's everything bud....hope you're enjoying life and work (IF such a thing is even conceiveable):p :D
Think this will help?Quote:

Its time to get rid of some more noise. And the 60C load temperature. That $99 water cooling kit looks fairly decent. This chip looks like it could handle 2.6Ghz+ stable, but I will have to go to about 1.75v and my cooling will not handle it. I did 2.53Ghz stable at 1.67v (actual reading, 1.7 in BIOS).

Thanks again for the comments guys, I really appreciate the support. Especially from you "old-schoolers", good that you guys pop in to the team thread still.
eshbach, yup, DD thumb screws and plexi plate on the back for the gpu. :)
mikey, lol, I'm going to have to show a pic when I get it all stuffed back in the case, just to make sure we all know it actually is a computer. :D
DOH! Forgot to update your fantastic scores mike....they're done! You're 5th in the world right now?:eek: Keep the SF flag waving on the 1st page of the ORB.;)
ewitte, you're updated too....I think I'm gonna have to do something about my '05 score.....I believe you have me beat.:( Now, all I have to do is 'unlazy' myself (I shudder at the very concept!):p :D
Thats all good until I get the memory/watercooling and run like 265x10 2.5-3-3-7 ;)Quote:

****, catchin up to me as well...
i might have to grab some h2o and raise my score.

how much is that tccd? How much is gskill pc4400le? whatever you do, make sure you get some with brainpower pcb. also youll need to run 1 stick for benching as you are likley to get higher clocks then. You really need win2k, either dual boot or better yet your own 3dmark drive like I have. I also game with 2k cause its faster but thats up to you. You could just stick to air cooling and drop down to 9x multi and raise the fsb to 280 and that would give you 2.53GHz and much needed ram bandwith cause your single channel. Use 2.5-3-3-10 timing too, ras-cas4 kills performance. Use ricky tweak and LOD(if you want bad iq but 250+ nature) then you should gain thousands of marks when all is said and done. right now your scoring less than my 450/380 9800pro and 512k cache cpu
I actually got the highest scores in XP64. Maybe I should intall that again. Especially if they have newer drivers. The way I have XP setup it would barely make a difference in 2000. The memory was $260.Quote:
