Captain Awesome's benchies

Very nice...

Crossfire iwmc.

dang son..

Acquired a little addition to my rig over the weekend. Bye bye 22", hello 28"!!! Its one of these beauties. Let me tell ya, what a difference!

[Crixx_Creww]

o m g

ive been hunting down monitors/lcd tvs for weeks now

settled on a 32"toshiba regza 1080 for 565. was gonna order in a few weeks

but i think this is so full of win i shall get this instead!~!!!!

[Arcmanov]

...and this weekend only look at that epic winnage of price.

Only $339 US. 

* Note to self: always keep at least $300 US around for Thanksgiving weekend *

lol *makes note also*...

Ahhh boy. Stuffies reach...the quest begins...

[Spazosaurus]

First benchie...took some significant effort to get this far, fitting all this hardware in my old case...finding stable voltages and settings...

Ladies and gents...I present to you...the killer.

Core i7 920 @ 4ghz (Bawwww 2nd man on gatt to reach 4ghz with a quad. Suck THAT Arc) Cant be done on air....pfffttt yea right!!
2 HD 4870's 512 in Crossfire
6GB DDR3 1600 OCZ Gold
MSI X58 Pro flashed to X58 SLI

etc etc...

And no...i'm not done benching.

[Spazosaurus]

Further overclock of the cards...

I'll take my first place now.

...Bawwww first man on gatt to reach 4ghz with a quad. Suck THAT Arc...

Ahm...no.  Like you forget this one or wha?
Waaaaaay...pwnt by a stinking 42 points yes.

Take chakra for that.

Outstanding job on the OC.  I will have to try something with that 21x multiplier when I have some time.


EDIT!!!!

Stop it Captain.....stop it NOW!!!

[Spazosaurus]

Well, i'm a bit late to the party but...I can't stop...I wont stop. eh eh eh eh

This chip is an absolut BEAST. I wonder what else can be achieved....I wonder......

Thank you sunbeamtech for releasing your i7 retention bracket. $10us was a bit much, but at least I didnt have to change my entire cooler.

[Arcmanov]

* tips hat * 

You sir, are a BOSS at overclocking.  You actually inspired me to push my rig that
much farther to achieve stable 4 GHz operation.  That 21x multi is 'de flick'.
Very early on I realized that 200 x 20 would not work, at any combo of voltages and settings.

I see your vCore is at 1.47.  That seems like danger territory for air cooling.
I hope you not thinking of running it like that 24/7.  Them i7s not as burly when
it comes to overvolting.  24/7 operation for me is at a quite safe 3 - 3.6 GHz.

As good as my Noctua cooler is, I'm still kinda pissed that their 1366 retention bracket wasn't more widely available.

[Philosophical45]

good god, what natural disaster took place last night... damn son.

[Spazosaurus]

Actually, i'm nowhere near done fiddling with voltages so if I could get things stable at about 1.42v or so for 4ghz, i'll use that 24/7. But once the temperature stays pretty decent, I dont see why they cant take the 1.5. I'll do some more research on voltage tolerance of them.

[TriniXaeno]

Captain, the Devil called, he said he wants his processor back.

[W1nTry]

Yeah he said Hell is freezing over, give it back XD

[Spazosaurus]

This is the lowest possible voltage I could get it running at 4ghz. Still, I am very comfortable with this voltage for 24/7 usage.

But i'll leave that for sometime down the road where I may need the extra speed. 3.8 seems like it for me for the while though.

[daniboy79]

you guys are freaks!! lol

[Spazosaurus]

One more 06...



Vantage run...

Cap... use imageshack nah... when you upload to gatt the image is scaled and then when you try to maximize it cuts off parts of the image... come on man...
