amazing, wonder what he is going to do with the 8 core processors, and what kind of performance we could get out of that.

Wow he must get about .... 2 fps on the cpu test in 3dmark :eek: :roll: I wonder how fast he could encode and decode etc :p

It's capped on 2fps :) I even get 2fps for a fraction of a second, but he might get close to 2fps avarage on the first test :twitch:

It's not capped at 2fps. I get 2.44 in the first test, and 3.6 in the second test.

Damm....:twitch: Nice Intel....:respect: That the power of V8 Engine....:rockout:

Cool!

I see he's warming up for 3DMark Vantage. Skulltrail would be THE top scorer's platform for quite some time since the score scales with +4 cores and there is no alternative atm that performs as good as Skulltrail for 3DMark Vantage benching.

forget all these benchmark scores - i want REALWORLD benchmarks - try running different games on it like COD4 or Crysis even. unless you have this pc just so u can boot it up in the morning & run the same god damn benchmarks from dawn till dusk just so u "feel good" that you had a stupid amount of time/money to invest getting your CPU(s) to 6Ghz+.....

sometimes theres more to hardware then just super Pi runs

agreed - there is a limit to how fast you NEED to go.

Still impressive tho and really shows the potential of the hardware.

Well I didn't make it up, it reads here in page 18-19:

http://www.futuremark.com/companyinfo/pressroom/companypdfs/3DMark06_Whitepaper_v1_0_2.pdf

Surely it's bugged then?

Now who's gonna pass 7 GHz?

who nos man but i bet it will happen this year and u can quote me on that if im mistaken :p

pretty much guarantee it trip!

I see his Prime scores were run at 5708MHz and 5590MHz respectively.
Must have been a little flakey at 6006MHz since he didn't use that speed to run the tests. (Yet).

Regardless, that's really impressive.

He ditched AMD..........................................................................

Hell Im impressed with this. I dont ever remember reading about AMD CPUs posting world record benchmarks, not saying they ever did. That truly is amazing. Id never need to go that fast but its nice to know you can get close to 3.0ghz bump on both of those procs.

cool...:) :)

That doesn't sound like techpowerup talk at all. You don't NEED a lot of things but i would definately WANT a 6ghz quad core. I suppose you don't NEED more than 640K ram :P

More info would be great (like superpi and 3dmark06).

This is kingpins website: http://overclockingpin.com/

Nothing there yet. Hopefully he will post soon.

Here is the link to his CPUZ scores: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=346139

Notice that kingpin is only using 2x FBDIMM.

Doh! He missed a trick... FBDIMM on skulltrail goes quad channel... meaning that he would get much higher scores if he populated the baord with 4 sticks not 2 sticks!

I think I my first post should have been....


"Congratulations you now have a PC that can encoded HD DVDs faster then wet sh*t can run down my legs - my life is eternally in debt to you that you saved me from the depths of Hell by waiting 30+ precious minutes (or more/less) to complete 1 encoding. I now present you with a noble peace prize for your efforts contributed to the human race in the name of technology & stupid amounts of money"

I'd second that he must change that rig everytime he doesn't get the desired oc :eek:

6ghz nice

There's no such water cooling that actually runs through the core except in the new IBM supercomputer. And I've never heard of liquid helium, at least being used for this purpose.

yes i was talking abouth ibm watercooling
and ibm used it to cool there cpu with liquid helium and the got it to 500ghz

Actually i think AMD Broke the WR for 3dmark, back in 2005, with an FX57


EDIT: crap, didnt quote who i wanted to, oh well.

Thats insane. Nearly 2v??!! :eek: Thats liquid nitrogen right? I didn't see anything about it. Crazy though.

Even at 6ghz, even if it was stable enough to play crysis, wouldn't make much of a difference b/c its gpu oriented. Those superpi scores are ridiculous, and real world things such as encoding video would be almost instantaneous.

hence my comment about encoding faster the wet shit can run down my legs @ farlex

Very nice, I like his GPU cooler also. He needs to get two of those up and running and get some Quad-SLI benchmarking going.

kingpn is insane, he either has lots of money or the companies promote this kinda stuff

I know nVidia backs him with equipment and funding.

EVGA sends him his cards.

So he can run Crysis with all settings maxxed?

Probably not....:roll:

Dude needs some serious cable management though...:laugh:

The people talking like the actually uses this computer on a daily basis need to realize that he doesn't. This setup is strickly for breaking world records. It runs for maybe an hour at the most and that is it. He isn't using it to play crysis and watch movies, he is using it to break records.

exactly...this setup is run strictly for benching and breaking recods people. but i do wonder what he uses to run 24/7 probably has a very nice rig.

thats what i was thinking but wasn't sure...i know evga loves to brag about how the new world record was set with their products. i know i would :rockout:

edit:
but didn't he also break the 3dmark06 record with to 3870x2's or was that someone else

@using LHe: LHe is too cold and has awful thermal capacity. LN2 is basically ideal. Any colder and CPUs start freezing solid and getting their physical properties changed, any less thermal capacity and they just can't handle the load

@AMD WRs: Were you around when K8 was king? Every single benchmark at the time had it's record set on an AMD rig, except for raw clockspeed, which still hasn't been broken (FUGGER posted pics of a P4 booting into BIOS past 6.6 ghz, but something about the IDE controller was screwy so he couldn't boot windows)

In any case, grats to k|ngp|n on more truly astounding WRs.

wow... thats a crazy speed... but he obviously has nothing else to go doing every day!! He has WAY too much time on his hands! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I think they should have a record for the highest stable 24/7 clock. Now that would be cool!

i agree that would be nice to see...prob would be some sort of phase change i imagine

Seconded on the 24 hour running bench.


Remember people like others had said this is only for benches. But on that note, yestedays benches are todays speeds. So . . . todays benches are tomorows . . .
If we can make it happen once we will strive to make it comon. Benchers prove things are possible ; )
