[Team.AU] 1st LN2 test AMD 965+Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5+Corsair 2250s> 1M SuperPi:10.125s

[dinos22]

....here we go first LN2 session is over 10L got chewed up and now I got some idea of the clocks and how this beast behaves.........

This is very exciting.....going back to AMD and all....I am now hooked

These CPUs love cold it's amazing. I was literally battling this F1EE to get some ok speeds out of the chip but for longer tests like 8M or 32M it was already evident that i may need to start looking for a better tuned CPU pot for these.......I did some pretesting on air and SS so i knew roughly what the RAM and board could do. I was planning on benching the Asus Crosshair 3 as well but as luck would have it the board died.....SADS or something else...who knows, i just wish i could at least try it on LN2 lol before it bitched out lol

Always good to chat to someone while benching new gear....chew* was onhand and he got a dose of dinos22's entertainment during the session lol :

Anyways here's the test setup and some piccies

Test Configuration:

• GIGABYTE 790FXTA-UD5 F2 official bios
• AMD X4 965 Black Edition C3 week 44 retail
• F1EE CPU pot
• Corsair Dominator GTX 2250 DDR3 2GB modules
• PCIe nvidia 8400GS
• 1200W Antec Quattro OC Edition PSU
• 300GB Velociraptor
• Windows 2003 Server

Giga is very fast in 1M. It trails a bit in 32M so gotta work some more on it i think...just as well as i couldnt get speeds i was happy with anyways heh...could be teething issues with new board/bioses i donno but once i get it strapped to a better pot i'll do some proper 32M too .... best part is it's still alive w00t lol

I wont have much time to do more LN2 testing until i fly out to Adelaide to bench together with my good friend youngpro mid January.....we are going to rape this CPU hard lol and my priority is superpi first and then whatever else ppl want to see at the event we are doing









Evil chip heheh



...stay tuned
