nice work kido, was the 3d mark score with dual x2's ?

Nope a single air-cooled non modded X2 at 891/999.

^^Yup.. Hw'd u expect a 20k score with either a Q6600 or E8400 with a single 3870X2??? :P

We pushed for frequency with the E8400. We did not with the quad because it was going to NashX (we tried max 4G at 1.52V on a TRUE.)

Awesome stuff guys...! , One question : Where do' ya source LN2 from ?

Niketa Gas Company... somewhere in Bhandup. 20K deposit required for the dewar though.

LOL! a 20k+ score is easily possible with a q6600 and a 3870X2

Yup... but this was with a E8400 :hap2::clap:

Really??? :O

OMG..

Somethin like a caution deposit??? Is a dewar tat costly?? :S

gannu you really need to work on your english comprehension :P
i was referring to LN2 when I said that its cheaper than dice (rs30/ltr vs rs45/kg), i am talking about what the chemical actually costs, not the total cost involved in storing/transporting LN2.
 
I too meant the chemical charges..

I was told it fetched close to 150 bucks fer around 5 kgs for DICE; and 3k fer 30L of LN2...

"^^na, its quite cheap, actually cheaper than dry ice"

Why'd anyone want to comprehend his language wen u mean this and I meant tat?? :S
 
Great Job !

You got 2 3870X2 and couldnt get and Intel Extreme proccy :P

Seriously, with a QX9650 the 3D mark score is gonna blow the roof:ohyeah:
 
Wow, we already have a second LN2 run in India.Soon we will have LN2 with all the l33t members? Great scores there k1do.
 
wow ...u guys had gr88 fun overclockin such high end hardware...

congrats..!!

and yeah as i dont understand much of overclockin and stuff ..specially when it comes to DICE \LN2 etc ..as i only have a idea of what oc'in is..and have never seen it ..due to me using a 4-5 yr old P4. lolzz

i cant stop myself from askin u this 1 question ..

guyzzzz didnt u play CRYSIS on a ultra high settings and resolution which such kind of hardware ??
 
^rofl @faheem.

dice / LN2 ocs are done for any of the following reasons:

  1. bragging rights
  2. overclocking competitions
  3. finding the limits of a processor
  4. your wallet feels heavy
  5. pruritis :rofl:

Its not done for playing games as its stable/safe for only so much time.

:ohyeah:
 
Hehehehe.... so we met up today to give a poor Q6600 a run for its money..... (severly fsb limited tho.)

Got this out:

21683 3dMark06 - Q6600 on DICE (w/ 1.65Vcore) - 480 x 9 - 3870X2 on air cooling.



More pics when Haaris wakes up I guess :)
 
w00t ! you guys doing it now ????????

Q6600 on DICE (w/ 1.65Vcore) - 480 x 9 : I remember Ad1tya brutalizing his Q6600 on water on his 24x7 rig. surely you are fsb limited m8. push more.
 
Today, the fun continued @ my place...in the room me & my daughters use to play, our respected games :P

I kinda moved their toys to a conner & chilled the room as much as I could.



The ambient around the setup looks fine...lets C how much it is in the empty pot without the Extremes



As the temps were fine, we started to test the Xfire with some new drivers but it still didn't work :@





CCC reads the 4 cores of the two X2s but there's no option to enable the Cross Fire.

Also, a 65nm quad, even when underclocked, is superhot. We had to soon DICE it up & remove the other card & get on with our 3DM06.

Remember, what was achieved today was on a Single X2 with a 65nm Quad with LOCKED multiplier on DICE.



Wish we had the LN2 today as the 65nm quad used up more DICE in a single 3DM06 run than the amount used by my 45nm E8400, for un-number of 3DM01-05-06 runs, whole of yesterday. But I wish more that we had a single CPU with unlocked multipliers & the Xfire drivers worked.

Thats it 4m me today, more later but I need to quote something I said , here as well.

Sure, competition is good to keep pushing & going higher/lower but this was not abt records & who set the highest clocks/3DM06 scores or lowest Spi1M run. Its was more abt going Extreme n Learning (mostly 4m our mistakes) and over everything, having FUN !!!

Its abt Satisfaction by taking the hardware to its limit & beyond & knowing we did the best anybody could do with these hardware !!!

Besides, in a competition, all the teams are required to ve the same hardware !!! And we didn't ve a single CPU with unlocked multipliers, didn't we a single RAM that could match the FSB of the CPU (with locked multipliers), even @ 2.6V...the drivers that could support 2 x X2s in XFire were beta which detected both the X2s but didn't use em in any 3DM06 runs & lastly didn't ve any experience be4 this !!!

Whatever we got, was achieved by complete 1st timers and we got a lot of experience with extreme cooling (that the reason for both DICE & LN2) and m sure we'll know better & achieve better, when we get the right hardware.

Getting back to competition, who knows if others could ve done better with these hardware or if we could do better with the hardware they had, unless there is a competition & this was not it !!!

But never the less, this was AWESOME FUN & a complete NEW, TERRIFIC and EXTREME experience. I enjoyed been a part of it & want keep going in the direction.

So to all who want us to break records, give us the hardware and if U cant then lets C others get the same/better results with the given hardware.

Now for the records, I was NOT in this to break anyBUDDYs record but to Enjoy n Learn (ENJOYed LEARNING) and I got my hands wet with both LN2 & DICE...well actually...

LN2 on my gloved hand :



Dice slush, prepared by me (we were actually holding the small & big chunks with bare hand but I don't think it's advisible and so not pics of that) :



1 big chunk of DICE :



More pics tomorrow...ATM, Zzzzz !!!
