want a dice block to go with it?  ;)

i gave it some thought but was like....nah in the end....i may go back later just for the extra knowledge to learn....

was trying to find someone with a 5850 myself...so i could bench it...lol

i am dying to do it...

Well, I just shoveled  the drive way, wife and daughter are asleep... turned on the chiller and it blew the snow off.  Now time to get back to business

nice one john

SniperOZ

nice one john

thanks!
now that we have you as our "motivational bencher"...lol

time to find some more points to be had!

I still need a block for mine so I wont get much right away

then this is the time you use to iron out the nicks in your over clock...then when you have the block on...it should be that much better.

talkinga bout gpu this time....

its not always about how high the clock, but the correct setting used for the better over clock....


they can make or break a good run...

Looking at your posts, your temp said -50c, that seems really high for DICE, I dont think your pot has enough mass to control the swing on an i7.

I'm about to get $200 selling my G1 aswell. Dont exactly know what ill do with that.

johnksss

where did he say...negative 50 at? i thought he was talking about 50c???

Page 3 is where I measured the temps with thermal probe. 


Rudster:  That was -50° C with 1.7 volts poured into Q6600.  for just an afternoon of benching I did pretty will with that Q6600.  I think the results speak for itself.  Think of it as getting your feet wet?

What was the swing? The difference between the temps at idle and under 3D load (Vantage CPU)?

[14:33:58] Rudster816: Vokl

[14:34:13] Rudster816: Whats the highest temp youve seen your DICE pot go to?

[14:34:16] Rudster816: under load

[14:34:42] voklskier4452: over 9000

[14:35:07] knightsilver: Vok, would snow boarding or skiing be to far from inline skating?

[14:35:09] Rudster816: Nate's ghetto one hit -50c with a Q6600 at 1.7v, wouldnt it be safe to assume the same pot wouldnt be able to hold a decent swing on an i7?

[14:35:56] voklskier4452: with HT

[14:35:58] voklskier4452: no


Thats what I just asked Vokl who has done quite a bit of DICE benching.

there is lots of swing.  The temps will drop very rapidly, or rise very quickly if your not watching.  There are improvements that can be made with that particular dice pot, as in solder one of those enzotech north bridge arrangements to the inside sweatcap.  That would triple the about of mass of the baseplate touching the CPU.  I didn't choose to do this because I don't have any, and no matter how much dice I threw in there, the chip would not give anymore. 

EVGA Tech Shannon said the same thing about his chip, and he was 20° colder.   So if you look at it, the pot works.  You just cannot walk away from it.  It requires you to be there monitoring temps (which you will usually do no matter what pot you have)

Well the problem with a large swing is that you might be stable at 4.7ghz with 1.45v at -68c, but than when you put it under load and it raises too high you can loose your stability due to temps. This means you will have to pump more voltage through it.

You need a pot with a good mass to keep an i7 stable. Im not saying you have a bad pot, but the i7 is really picky about temps when doing extreme cooling, and doesnt behave well with high temp swings.

lol i would love to have a go at dice but i think my mate would flip if he saw white smoke like gases coming from the board LMAO or all the "gunk" all over the CPU socket and back side of the board..... he isn't really into the whole OC thing..... he would rather buy the $1500 processor because it goes faster out of the box LOL me on the other hand id rather the cheapest one out performing the spensive one hehe

wow
