Some wPrime action. I am having trouble getting it to send to hwbot.org and register my score. it keeps telling me my checksum is invalid for verification. An ideas? But it is the fastest score I have had so far with my 920's.

mudkip · Jul 27, 2009

isn't the newest version of wprime version 2.0?

yeah. but for some reason you can only validate with 1.55 for hwbot.

Oh i didn't know that, I never use wprime

I ordered 2 x 30GB Vertex SSD for RAID 0 , hope i'll have them wednesday

Awesomeness :respect:

That will seriously rock

yeah, says it on the site. Why? I dont know :confused:

Was looking at SSD's myself... but not convinced with the price they are at moment... might just blag a Raptor or 2!!...

Baer · Jul 27, 2009

I also decided on RAptors for now. There just seems to be too many firmware issues and other quirks with SSD's still. I do think I will be getting one in the next year but this is one bit of tech where I think early adopters get the short end, and I am one that usually jumps into new tech early.

Wetbehindtheears · Jul 27, 2009

+1 Baer... and the price appears more attractive!! without all the limitations/problems...

Jakethesnake011 · Jul 28, 2009

I sold my old Raptors my Samsung f1's are just about as good, in real world performance I dont see a big difference but in benchmarking my HDD's I do. I was looking at SSD's also but I think I am gonna upgrade my GPU for now.

I needed to know from people with the UD5 boards. Can you fit 2 GPU's onto the board in crossfire and still be able to use the last PCI slot or does the reference cooler cover it?

from seeing this:

I'd say no , that would be impossible

Jakethesnake011 · Jul 28, 2009

Yah I was looking at a picture of 4 way crossfire on a classifed and the PCI-e slots on the bottom are very very tight like the distance from the UD5's Blue PCI-e slot to the White PCI slot, and I am sayign to myself how in the hell can two cards fit in that small space? Well comes to find out one card was using a thermalright cooler that took up one slot and extended out wards to the other end of the cards.

Just ordered my blocks for UD5 from MIPS... they now have a non German site in operation...

Now just gotta find a Heatkiller in the UK...

What sort of barbs do you recommend?

I'm a screw-in fan, but I'd say do whatever you like, as long as you secure it well enough.

Wetbehindtheears · Jul 28, 2009

I was meaning barbs that require a clip or clamp to attach hose or compression fittings.. which are better?

Compression fitting for easy tool-less installation and good looks. Its a pita to remove though.

The standard fittings that needs clamps are easy to install as well and easy to remove. Not a good sight though.

However, if you use highflow barbs like Fatboys and pair it up with 7/16 id tubes, you wont be needing any clamps and still have almost the same performance as a 1/2 id with good flow from the barbs and good clean looks to boot.

@mudkip

good luck dude, 4.8 ghz is not an easy task!

I did not get past over 4770Mhz, my motherboard is not stable enough

well , maby later with ln2

can't wait for my vertex SSD's

Jakethesnake011 · Jul 30, 2009

i was able to get my hand on a bfg gtx 295 for $360 I can not wait for the benchmarks I am able to pull with this, the guy I am buying ti from says the clocks are stable at 675/1476/2484. It was either this or some 4890's, but I got a good deal on this card so I jumped on it

grunt_408 · Jul 30, 2009

My i7 turns up today, Hopefully it is a D0 I will be peeved off if it aint. I asked for one when I placed my order but as usual I didnt get any sort of response. I will get it all up and running and start fiddling in the bios over the weekend :; Providing nothing is DOA

hopefully it is a D0 and nothing is DOA. Good luck man, keep us posted :toast:

grunt_408 · Jul 31, 2009

just assembled and into the bios.... looking good at this stage

Now gotta wait for the time so I can set up RAID0 neaten up the wires and install Vista 64bit for now until I have got windows 7. just looking @ the Hardware moniter and cpu temp is @28. I will get this tweaked by the end of the weekend

Also its a D0 yay

mastrdrver · Jul 31, 2009

Oh yea, starting to figure this out.

I'm dying having to wait to get a ifx-14. This things going to fly once I get a good cooler on it. With my V2 that I put a Xiggy 120mm on, temps will climb into the mid 80s, if I let it, when getting over ~1.23 vCore. Also, I think the bios needs a little work still. I can run the Gskill all day at 7-7-7-20 1T with 1.66 vDimm at 1600mhz, but try to bump it to 1800 at 9-9-9-26 2T and I get nothing. I know the controller can do 3600 no problems so I'm thinking maybe its a compatibility thing. Don't know for sure though.

grunt_408 · Jul 31, 2009

Now I have installed vista and am now d/l drivers hehe I will be back l8a with screenies

Why does he multi change? I have F7 bios do I need to update to the latest to support D0?
