|LN2Cooling.com Evaporator Under Dry Ice| – |Phenom II X6 1090T Overclocking|

Hey guys. I did the full run on the pot that I posted about a few days back.

The full thread is pretty long so visit my blog to see the whole thing.

Video is up! Watch it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-wDG1KunvI

Here are the results from the run, pics of the setup is on my blog:

CPU-Z - Core #1 5.579GHz @ 1.744Vcore - Validation

For this CPU-Z valid I went all out overclocking my chip's strongest core, core #1. As you can see I disabled all but 2 cores, and ran down a bunch of other settings to get this. Before settling on 5.579GHz, I was able to hit 5.624GHz but was not able to validate without crashing. Maybe I will make this on my next run. My previous run on the aluminum pot only netted me a max validation of 5.547GHz.


CPU-Z - All 6 Cores, 5.500GHz @ 1.696Vcore w/ 3000NB and 1000MHz 7-9-6-15 memory


During my last run, I was only able to push 5.4GHz all 6 cores. This goes to display how the increased mass and the copper material of this pot makes for more efficient cooling and coping with the load of all 6 cores pushed to 5.5GHz.


SuperPi 1m - 12.625 seconds


My old time on the aluminum pot was 12.797. SuperPi 1m is highly inefficient on Gigabyte boards for whatever reason, but I still managed to surpass my old score and net the top 1m DICE score for this processor on hwbot.org.


SuperPi 32m - 12 minutes 58.219 seconds


Due to the fact that this pot can hold down better temps under load, I was able to increase cpu speed in contrast to my previous run. I broke the 13 minute barrier for 32m on DICE with this processor.

wPrime 32m - 4.765 seconds


Not much to say here. I'm thinking I could have fine tuned my setup for a higher score, but I settled at this time. For my next run I will get a faster time.


wPrime 1024m - 151.25 seconds


I was astonished at the pots ability to handle the load of all 6 cores stressed. All extreme benchers know that 1024 takes a bit of work to pass at higher frequencies. I managed to pass at 5.125GHz. The previous pot would not budge at over 5GHz.


PiFast - 20.50 seconds


Once again, another untuned run. However I surpassed all of my personal bests with this one.

3DMark 06 - 28306 3DMarks


For the first time in a long time, I decided to test out some 3d stuff again. I did this mainly to gauge how the evaporator handles 3d load. This is where I saw my biggest improvement from my old pot. During one of my 955 X4 BE runs, I found myself only able to run 06 at 4.520Ghz using the aluminum pot. I was able to push out and run 5.25GHz stable under the load of 3dmark06.

That is all for the results. However, here are the improvements I made with the new pot summarized into one chart:

man thats a lot of voltage :) nice clocks
Thanks man. Yeah 1.744 is not really recommended for dry ice. Thats LN2 voltages right there with these chips. I could have probably done the same speed with less voltage.

playing Cities XL 2011 right now and it only uses 1 core,, so ghz speed is everything here, i can only imagine how much smoother it would play at 5.5ghz

oh noes, only 28 days left for activation!

lol very impressive clocks there most impressive in how many benches you were able to complete, many people simply hit a clock, screen shot it, and claim the WR. lol

Even 4.5GHz would destroy almost every game ;)

Thanks man! Hahah well the guys that really compete do almost all benchies. But the average bencher is all about clocks. From now on this will be my benching suite.

I have tried gaming at 5 GHZ and I can report there is no difference.

After a certain performance point, the game will only benefit by further increasing the performance of the video subsystem

I tried 4.5GHz on the rig in my specs and went back to default finding no difference in game play. When I figure out how to clock the 5870 to 5GHz I will test the theory...:p

Feeling pretty cheeky with my framerates in BlackOps atm...:D



Btw Slappa, you might consider using denatured alcohol for your dice runs instead of acetone...cheaper, less fumage and no loss of performance. Very nice video work...I seldom get that ambitious lol. :toast:

I just happened to have a lot of acetone on hand.
Yes the video is kind of a pain to film during the run, when all I want to do is flat out bench. I do all my runs alone except on a few occasions. I really need someone to film me or I'll set up a live feed.

hey that was a sweet video, thanks for posting it....

like that gig board, it rocks....

top notch effort!


so @ what level do you think there is no further need to overclock to game
say around 4ghz????

That is where mine is atm, but I am getting ready to go default values on the cpu...let my video card do the work. :)

Edit: No difference in game for me with default clocks...temps are nice as well. :)

Thanks dude.
This is the best giga board I have used by far. I've been a giga user on my last Intel setup that I had, as well as after I switched over to AMD with the Phenom II 940/955 and up until now.
