Multiple gold cups incoming soon hopefully...stay tuned.

just get intouch with the guy at setfsb...he's a very workable guy..he just needs the plll off the board

a few things....
old cpus do better on some of those test
depends on what he was doing to cool his gpu
voltage

****. I set the gpu mem too high (510 is stable, i tried 520) and it crashed my system. BSOD 118 or something like that. It broke my RAID array, so now i have to wait for that to rebuild, and that takes a few hours.

RAID just finished rebuilding. Back to benching, and hopefully not borking my RAID again...

chillers been running for around 45 minutes with no problem, not sure if my pump can cover all this ground though water is at -6 cpu is at 8 idle @4.6 took around 2 hours to get to -17 last night I hope I can get cpu closer to zero. Not up to natemans standards but not a bad first attempt.  Either way I can bench again. 

one of my cores just hit ZERO unfortunatley that means my tim isnt spread evenly but still first time ever. Time to celebrate

Ah well... I have to wait until tomorrow to do it. I'll post a ton of pics for you guys though. It should be amazing. GPU temps in the teens should be nice.

By the way Q, When I do 217 blck for the validation, all I have to do is set my RAM, and my vcore to 1.59, my CPU VTT to +500, and everything else at auto. I think it could go higher. I haven't needed to mess around with anything else. But when I use Eleet to go higher than 217, the computer locks, doesn't even BSOD. Then I have to do a hard shutdown. Any suggestions on that?

Raise your PCIE clock to 105, or somewhere in that range.

Tone down the VTT, you dont need that much for 217. +450mv is really the max im comfortable with. Ive dont +550mv before though with water. The IMC's are a lot more delicate than the cores though. Now that my CPU is lapped though, there is no hope for an RMA 

I think after I do a run on DICE this weekend, im going to write an extreme OCing guide. One thats not meant for people looking for 24/7 overclocks, but max benching.

even with PCIE clock @ 109 it hard locks.. I think temps is the issue. Thus my project.

Sounds like the motherboard, not the CPU. The same thing happened with my E758 at ~222 Bclk, but the problem vanished with my E760. Ive even booted up at 235 Bclk on this motherboard\CPU no problem (x17 multi though).

If your looking for a good benching board, get a Bloodrage GTI with the PCIE mod on it, once modded, those things will clock higher than any other motherboard. Im not sure if you will be able to find one though.

You might wanna trade in that Evga board for one that overclocks better.

yes, temps.  you can also try more vcore once your temps go down.  I was at 1.6v @ 217 on WC.  Once temps decreased I ran 218 & 219 @ 1.58v.  But that was really cold (in the low teens idle).  With my 960 I'm at 1.66-1.67v (4.8ghz). 

Just picked up a couple more gold cups for my lappy....destroyed the 3dm06 mark for gtx280m.  Had to use my 960 to get there, even though I can't over-clock on the laptop.  I love this flashing vBIOS stuff now....now makes me wonder about my other vid cards, other than the 295's, of course, as they're overclocked/over-volted to the high heavens anyway, lol.

Nice Rudster! I'm tempted to just do a really simple thing like that, but I want a nice looking case too..

orly? Well. Just wait. I have a secret weapon coming out tomorrow so I should go up a few places.

-120C!!!!!!!!!!!! How on earth are you doing that?!
