TPU Sponsored Project?? You Decided [Benchmarking Rig Record Breaker v1.0 BETA]

PyroX1040 · Mar 11, 2008, 03:14 AM

Currently I'm making one of the worlds best computer for home use at least.. stupid super computers... ok back to the point I've been thinking about attempting to beat the highest score on 3D Mark 06' of 30600, and make sure everyone knows that TPU memebers and everyone else helped me along the way with:

** Update: I'm attempting to beat the highest scores but maintaining a decent case apperence not out of the box just sitting out on the table with smoking L2N pots ... this is an import detail so be aware of that ***

I mainly want to see if I can get the support of the moderators and even W1zzard himself but all I ask is that all of TPU help me in the process with everything I may run into doing this, as listed above. If you really want to help me out let me know I live in Chicago, IL so if you're in the area let me know maybe you could help me out in my workshop

So let me know what you think of it!

Hardrives .. the new samsung f1's

oli_ramsay · Mar 11, 2008, 03:25 AM

I'm thinking some sort of LN2 or dry ice cooling to OC a 45nm to 5GHz+, I'm not sure if 780i mobos clock as well as X38/P35. Also I've heard that people get crazy score using 2900xt cards due to their 512 bit memory bus.

that too X38 & 2 2900XT is a better bet ....

das müffin mann · Mar 11, 2008, 03:27 AM

maybe once ati get their new drivers out try 2 3870x2's but other than that i wish you the best of luck, although those 8800's should kick alot of ass but the 2900 seam to clock higher

ShadowFold · Mar 11, 2008, 03:28 AM

I think you should go for 4x 2900XT 1gb's if you can.

I plan on using the VapoChill I'm pretty sure that will do the job ^>^

Is it possible to get a QX9775 chip yet Cause i think they have a 1600FSB and 3.2GHz, I don't know if they are retailing tho. & if they are on shelfs im guessing they would be a bit pricey!

New record, posted today. March 10th. Same group, hipro5 score of 32144.

ShadowFold · Mar 11, 2008, 04:11 AM

Jesus! 5ghz CPU! Thats almost impossible to beat =/

PyroX1040 · Mar 11, 2008, 04:12 AM

I'm betting I can hit 6.0Ghz if I get lucky ^.^!

Fitseries3 · Mar 11, 2008, 04:29 AM

you cant do this with the vapochill

you need LN2 to beat(or come close to) K|INGP|N and FUGGER.

try getting a more powerfull setup.

like...

2x QX9775 (s771 3.2ghz 1600mhz QDR)
intel skulltrail motherboard d5400xs
enermax galaxy 1kw or pc power and cooling 1kw
4gig's FBDIMMs 800mhz
2x 8800Ultra's with voltmods
2x Dragon F1 LN2 pots (from kingpin)
2x tek-9 LN2 pots (from kingpin)
4x WD raptor X 150gigs or 4x perpendicular drives or 2x SSD's

thats WELL over your new $12,000 limit but hey.... that's what they have to play with.
(not trying to be a dick... just putting it into perspective)

Solaris17 · Mar 11, 2008, 04:40 AM

well fit id just go with a quad 775 i mean does anyone even know if the skulltrail can clock as high as a non server based mobo?

AS for all of this.......i think its a great idea really i do....i mean TPU will be known mad big and make its place in the OC hall of fame...and america will finally get a win......and we can all smile that we helped him get their......

@pyro here ye be...unzip it make a bootable flahs floppy at the promt type

nvflash -4 -5 -6 pyro.bin

make sure 1 card is in at a time while your flashing.....

The Tri 8880ULTRA used Water cooling and a vapochill on the CPU with the QX.. and used the evga 780i... I know I can do this right

Fitseries3 · Mar 11, 2008, 05:03 AM

qx9650 and qx9770 are both 775.
the qx9775 is a 771 chip that is the same exact thing as the qx9770, just a different socket and multi cpu support.
