An Ongoing Tale of Sadistic Pleasures being Taken with the Silicon

CyberDruid · Nov 22, 2008, 02:17 AM

Hey guys I thought you might enjoy having a look at this stout test bench by BoxGods. BTW this is going to be my ongoing Benching Thread. I'll probably be using the Blitz until it craps out but I'll be trying different CPUs and RAM just for the helluva it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHd5O07jUj4

Here's some shots

With the Flash

Without Flash

Asus Blitz back from RMA and it's working well.

Tracers. I've had mixed results with Ballistix...going to find out what these babies have for me in a bit.

Tonight's victim being crushed under the BRUTE FORCE is a hotblooded E5400.

It's a Zotac 8800GT clocking along pretty high.

lol

A shorter tour.

I'll see what I can get out of this E5400. It won;t be in the socket long. I have an E7300 on the way I want to pummel.

Castiel · Nov 22, 2008, 02:18 AM

Very nice, just watched that video before I saw this post

steelkane · Nov 22, 2008, 02:54 AM

Really nice test bench, I like the way it's setup. Really nice

panchoman · Nov 22, 2008, 02:56 AM

i thought this was going to be about cyber finding that all along he was playing with silicone boobies...

zithe · Nov 22, 2008, 03:15 AM

I'd rather stare at the computer itself than play games... Maybe not. XD

I think you sound kinda like Ron Perlman. :P

CyberDruid · Nov 22, 2008, 10:27 PM

I bricked the Blitz updating the BIOS. It's a real blow to me.

Now all it does is start momentarily...shutdown...start momentarily...etc forever.

Man.

I really liked this board. I've waited weeks for the RMA and now it's toast again. Not a happy monkey.

Paulieg · Nov 22, 2008, 10:32 PM

What is that case/bench station that you're using for this setup? I'd love to get my hands on one of those.

CyberDruid · Nov 22, 2008, 11:59 PM

It's a one-off prototype made by Geno of BoxGods. He has plans to produce a really sweet looking acrylic one where the angled chassis is CNC folded (with heat) so it's basically one piece. Really cool idea. Then the sides are grooved to receive the bent/folded piece. So a 3 piece station. I think they will be coming out soon. And not expensive from what I've been told.

BTW the Blitz is fine. The 1505 BIOS hates the E7200. I popped the E5400 back in and it's cranking along at a 400 FSB (stock is 200) and 1ghz OC.

I'm wondering what chip to try next. Weird that the latest BIOS would not work with the E7200. THe 1101 BIOS worked fine...

Chicken Patty · Nov 23, 2008, 03:31 PM

Hey CD, this is just awesome dude. Great work 10/10 for that dude.

DOM · Nov 23, 2008, 03:52 PM

so wheres the rest of the comp at psu rad etc in the box ?

also what do you use to update your bios ?

do you do it in the bios ?

nice rack lol

the DD rack looks alot smaller then yours

CyberDruid · Nov 23, 2008, 04:43 PM

I used Asus Updater. It worked fine. The 1505 BIOS does not like the E7200. I got a little sidetracked putting together a rig for my Brother-in-Law...but I plan to get bak to the BenchMaster shortly.

The pump, rad, fans, PSU and DVD are all in the lower compartment. I rarely change those items unless there is a failure. I am mostly interested in access to the Mobo and peripherals.

Still on the hunt for something fun to OC. The E5400 seems to top out at 3.2

lol get a Pentium D 805

^^^what does that mean, good or no good?

CyberDruid · Nov 27, 2008, 12:23 AM

Mean it won't boot with an E7200 in hge socket on the 1505. I could roll back but I guess I will just try something else.

CyberDruid · Nov 27, 2008, 12:24 PM

Yeah I specifically bought that E7200 from a FS on OCN just to fry it...and then I thought my board was dead AGAIN but no...just would not even start with that chip in the socket. Odd hunh?

I've clocked my share of E3110s, E8400, Q6600, QX9650s...I'm thinking there has got be an overlooked clocker. Maybe an E5400? Or an E2180?

Something cheap enough to kill.

To you what has been your favorite chip to overclock? Since you've tried soo many.

CyberDruid · Nov 27, 2008, 05:21 PM

I really haven't tried that many. The easiest one for me is the QX9650. The unlocked multi is the key. Not much to it. Getting an E6600 to 4ghz stable enough to Fold was probably my favorite overclock. The early E6600 was a bear. Took a ton of voltage and produced insane heat. My Phase was overloaded I was seeing 28C load temps.
