ATTN: WiZ & DubDVD

Jammer

I couldn't resist, had to pre-order: http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/product.php?productid=18560

With my OCZ 667MHZ DDR2, 3.4GHZ 'chilled out' to 4.2GHZ, and soon-to-arrive SLi, i should be right on top of you two in the bench's ..mwahahahaha! better get that danger den stuff on ASAP to bump up those scores a little!!

Aaaannnnyyyway, looks like it should be a cracking board!!

unklerosco

somehow i dont think dub is gonna be worried... There's a reason he hasn't been online all week.. tweak tweak tweak ;-) Must give him a bell n see if he's still married(doubtfull..)

Will you use your machine for anything other than benchmarks?

Who cares how fast you can run SuperPI to 1x10^6 places. People will still round it to 3.14 or even 22/7.
Stop wasting money on watercooling kit because you bought a silly Prescott and instead spend the cash on getting a 2-way Dual-opteron box.

hmmm 2 way...

I had my old system last year ,running at 667mhz and my old P4 3.4 running @ 4.2GHZ stable ...on a old moped Radiator and some old tea machine tubing with a garden waterpump ..Have a look at some of my old pictures HERE and posts if you dont beleive me .So if i didnt need the top of the range watercooling kit to get the highest score in 3DMARK05 on a single card on boards .so its all kinda old news to me jammer :cool: ..but you seem to forget im running a FX55 which as we speak is the fastest gaming CPU out there And its been 64bit for a long time now "more old news";) and WizZard is'nt that far behind me with his 3800+ veince ..BTW in case you hav'nt noticed we also both have SLI ..SO tell us again ..why either of us have to be worried :rolleyes: ..it will be nice to see your scores ....but come on now ...Dont just be talking about it "we can all do that till the cows come home" ...........show us...


NANA NA NANA :eek:

i just had to get that of my chest ..lol..it might have something to do with the fact that its almost 5am in the morning and i still hav'nt tweaked my GPU BIOS's to the right voltage and mem...lol

Lads, seriously.

Rulers out, cocks on the table.

Settle this once and for all.

dubdvd

Were not that bad but my da is bigger than his da ...and if you beat my score ill get my big brother after you ...and ill call your dog a cat ...and throw a empty crisps rappers in your garden ...so dont mess with me man...im on the edge

How much is a dual opteron system? :O

Jammer

No need to be like that dub, i was only messin

Not only benchmarks, no, i use it for looking at boards too!!

Dual CPU systems are a waste of money, how many applications make use of having symetric CPU's? very few!

Dub, did ya not notice thats an Intel SLi board, not single card..we'll see :cool:

bulls*it, dual cpu systems are the best of the best, 2 x dual core opterons or even single core phase change cooled would whip any system out of it. Only problem is they are SERIOUS cash. and i think that system u preordered could be beaten but the latest AMD's. Intel laughed at amd using 64bit (theythought it was ahead of its time and no need for it), now look at them , they are playing catch up

WizZard

That looks like a savage board alright Jammer! I still think I'll beat you in benches though
What SLi cards are you getting? I see nobody has come too close to my 3dMark05 score on boards yet?? </gloat>

I'm just ordering some more insane stuff to go into my new case, arriving next week. Going to do a full mod job on it too

New Coolermaster Wavemaster for sale in a couple of days!

Oh, and I think I've blown my DFI board!

Well, currently in talks with DFI to see if I have to RMA it. If so it'll take me a while longer to get up and running again.

But I suppose it might give the others a chance to shine in the 3dMark thread

Jammer

am waiting to see if when get any ultra's in work, if not 2 of your finest 6800GT's, BFG OC!

Been on to marketing in UK and they said they would send me 2 ultra's, but they're not sure of the price here, wait and see...

WizZard

Hmm, with Ultra's you may pass me, but it's not for sure! I'm already running past Ultra speeds - no idea what speeds dub's gotten.

Jammer

yeah, but my thinking if the GT's go up 150mhz or whatever it is, then chances are the ultras will go up too

WizZard

Nah, unfortunately that's not always the case! Ultra's will go up, but often not by much. There is a much greater chance that the silicon is maxed out in the Ultra's. Plus the memory timings are a lot looser.
There are some fantastic Ultra's out there, but they're not as sur to be good overclockers as the GT's.

Jammer

it's lookin like i'll get 2 Ultra's for the price of 2 x XFX6800GTs on overclockers + €100

Its worth the extra €100? or would it be money better spent on another RAD...hmmm

WizZard

Hmm, if it's only €100 then I would get them, but it's up to you. Would you be better off getting another (bigger) rad and cooling the GT's enough to get higher speeds?

gline

how did u blow the board wizz?? And let me know about the wavemaster i may be interested in buying, if u are thinking of selling.

WizZard

gline, def selling the Wavemaster in the next week or two.

A bad BIOS flash caused it, it's just the BIOS chip that seems to be screwed - I can't even boot to a DOS floppy to reflash the BIOS !

Gonna try a hot flash tonight if I can, with another chip.

that should work, PM me about the wavemaster.

dubdvd

jammer btw i was only rising you ...i dont take my computers that serious ..it does look like a sweet mobo ..and if i had'nt spent so much on this fx55 i would be first in line for buying one as i find asus a very stable overclocker ...it would be nice to see what scores you get...but you wont beat me trust me ..i have a little something up my sleeve ...so it does'nt matter if you use ultra's on water ...

you were'nt mean't to tell eveybody ...that's the last time ill tell you anything

sionnach

fs you were meant to wait till someone took my offer of a bet

dubdvd

lol you wounld'nt of even got evens on that one

gline

anyone want to get together and built an LN2 rig??? serious. or a cascade system?

unklerosco

Id put a few quid towards it...

gline

iui think we should get a team together from boards, maybe in conjunction with www.custompc.ie ??? and build a worldclass rig

sionnach

there'd be war over who got to take it home Not to mention the differences of opinion over components and whatnot. And of course the whole money factor (:

Jammer

Something we could think about anyway...although it would give dubdvd alot of sleepness nights

sionnach

i think the idea of a community project is good, but just building a really good pc is kinda bland. We should focus on quirky projects that'll raise eyebrows and get us noticed, sorta like the pc that's also a coffee machine. Why not make a Mr. Frosty PC?

gline

just have a vote on what goes into it.and whoever has the most space for it can have it, needs to be a good central location

thats what its all about, LOL.

Or about users here being put on the map, recognised in the modding and overclocking scene

Jammer

Sounds good to me..

gline

i reckon we should do it, put out a call on the website wen it is up for serious modders to chip in and we'll get it organised

sionnach

i'll be in dublin all summer, anyone got a nice garage?

gline

thats a good question, whos got a spare room/garage???

I tried to ignore this but cannot.. Intel playing catch up with AMD performace wise has nothing to do with AMD using 64bit extensions before Intel did.


Finally, its ironic that Intel has the most profitable year in its history last year.. Jaysus, look at them now huh

dubdvd

i have .......................................not.;)

jesus_thats_gre

Build a boards.ie PC.. Build it to server spec and ye can serve boards.ie off it.. Might as well do something useful with it

dubdvd

Not a bad idea it will give something back to boards....and you could do a dual cpu jobby with tons of storage and ram and give it to admin at the end after the overclocking and so on and that way everybody who donates to it will feel that they are giving omething back to boards.ie for all the hours and days and years it has keep them from the depts of deppression "im on here again at five in the morning"...Its a good theme to go with ...made from the ground up completely custom built case and so on all based the idea of boards.ie D irish forum

I better be remembered for this I tell ya..
