it's the greatest feeling in the world...lol
when you beat one of the greats!..hahaha

Feels good right now...I have a feeling I'll have the Monday morning blues, though, lol!!

I got quite a bit past 76k cpu score when physx cranked out a 228 steps/s, but that was just cpu tests, no overall score.

Why haven't I built a chiller?  Because I'm stupid.  Nate, if you want to help me and give me a shopping list, I'll start it this weekend.  I already have the a/c and the windshield washer fluid!!

hell, one of the greats? he has the 2nd place score.  he beat lots of greats (including me for my single card)

Oh yea, running with no-physx looks like a physx run now, albeit much slower.  Six pairs of those "loops" show up now to match the six cores.

WOW Q!! That is so insane!! I want to run my 480 on DICE so bad, but I don't have a Tek 9 yet..

Too bad you don't have a 480 yet either. LOL

don't think i didn't snapshot mine...lol 
and they we're all on ln2/phase/le/ss

If anyone wants to do an Ultimate SR-2 build, it will only cost you $17500. This includes a couple of things that are unnecessary for just benching though, like $5400 in SSDs, 6 sepearate WCing loops, x2 BD-RW's, etc.

$6200 for just the CPU\Mobo\GPU\RAM though.

Getting closer to running ln2.. ETA on my mobo is Tuesday.  Also have another ES clarkbar incoming from Tawain, so next weekend should be fun

Well, a tad off subject. Bad news followed by good news.

Bad news: i7 975 Batch#3922A384 which I got other day has to be worse batch Intel ever put out. It was not even stable at default settings. If I left everything on Auto for voltages then system would apply what is requested by chip. By default this thing required 1.265v VCORE and a +250 VTT. It would also place VDIMM at 1.64. If I attempted to run anything that would 100% load this puppy, it would BSOD either a 9c, 101, or 124. For default I had to apply 1.31v VCORE w/+300 VTT to get stable. This is running 3.466ghz w/turbo default. Don't even ask about OCing.

Good News: It pays to have high friends in low places. I called my buds at my local shop and ask if they could run the chip through their Intel Channels and they said no problem. I take the chip to them, them contact their Intel folks, ship chip Monday and should have replacement in via Cross ship either Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.  Hopefully it will be a much better batch that the one I got.

Ok. That's it. You can now resume with your regularly scheduled post.
