  1. Correct, kinda sucks but it is what it is. Biggest issue of this comp is how specific some of the rules are. I do get it though, but still it's a bit intensive with a small team.
  2. I really don't know which of the two is the better board but I guess the Sabertooth. I'll do just fine on the Extreme3 though, hopefully tonight. The 754 as you know is a work in progress, parts ordered and information is being digested. Too much to do... Yeah Kyle, where is that 5700xt run you promised me? Now that the review is finished you have time to do a little better than me
  3. @N2 Gaming Nice work, thanks for the submission! That's not nice @Cerberus Those cards are really nice and you could use them for some subs for your own. They are also valuable for team points, just not the team cup sadly. @iamjanco Nice checklist, good luck The 960T showed up today, which means I could get a run in with on the ASRock 990FX Xtreme 3 board (as @pioneerisloud was so nice to use the Sabertooth already ) Still waiting on the 890GX board, but that one is shipped.
  4. That seems like a good run, did you save it with the heaven "make screenshot" button? And what was your max core clock? Anyways, nice work [edit] Do you have discord? We are online and ready to help if needed. https://forums.extremehw.net/discord/invite/mdXnqDs/
  5. Sadly that's a no, the rules are pretty strict. Are you sure every bit of software is installed correctly? I mean, DX11 should be backwards compatible with DX9 but it's weird that it runs one of the two..
  6. Thanks! By the way, I received my Sempron to battle @Avacado and @pioneerisloud in the Superpi DDR round..
  7. That was for the AM3+/ AMD GDDR5 benchcmarks. Your 460's and whatever 4 core CPU you have will be for the nvidia 400 SLI series
  8. Sounds like the fun we have to endure to get all this old stuff working properly.. As far as your run goes, if you can beat @Fluxmaven your score will be on the board. His run is not done IIRC so you have time to beat him to it (but the highest wins)
  9. Nice, I need to get me one of those converters asap so I can give that theory from @Avacado a try Thank you @Fluxmaven! And if you are planning to do another run for fun, the biggest bottleneck for me was CPU clock
  10. Stupid question, but was it showing as 'SLI enabled' in nvidia control panel? I had mine running pretty good on a 4770k with a bit of an overclock and it was loading both cards. If you need live help or whatever hop on discord, usually I'm there with @Avacado as much as we can so you can always ask questions there (and some other guys too). I hope you can get it working so you can battle it out with @Fluxmaven We need you @tictoc, you can check the spreadsheet in the OP for basic info and links to the benchmarks. I bet you know how it works And that's a 1000 points
  11. Of all those cards, I still ike the Zotac cooler design the most (as weird as it looks)... But I would still put a waterblock on it I'm always afraid that they sacrifice some board quality when they try to make a card that small. I know that the passthrough design leaves a lot of the PCB space unoccupied but still I feel like there is more hardware on the PCB. For now the Zotac card is on top of my list, let's hope they deliver quality..
  12. Don't worry Jan, being there for your buddy is way more important than running a 2080Ti for a benchmark. Ah that sucks man, I would do the same as @The Pook suggested. You can just post the link here like I fixed in the quote above and it'll work just fine No pressure, but it would be nice to have that result on the board too We are in 5th now, proud of y'all
  13. A waterblock fixes a lot of issues, like bad looking large chunks of cooler..
  14. I like those chassis for simple tech bench sessions, I had one running as F@H system in my bedroom too. Cheap and the quality isn't bad.
  15. Sadly only two of those boxes are the originals, the others are just there to put the motherboards on something solid. When looking at your stream I noticed all the motherboards, you win for sure
  16. I remember saying to @Avacado that 2 GPU's was the max I would get for the competition.... @Fluxmaven when is that AA meeting again?
  17. And I might have purchased some extra stuff: iGPU DDR3 890GX incoming And a Phenom 960T:
  18. Some stuff showed up, now I can do 3 more benchmarks for the team competition
  19. For what you'll have to spend for a new board, ram and chip I totally agree. Your system doesn't get slower when new stuff comes out. Those results at 210W is impressive, I wonder what I draw when I'm playing around but it's never something I look at as long as it's not overheating
  20. I think it was 800 on the z690 and for the X299 I can't check it, pretty sure it was over 1k. Some airflow over this board is not a bad thing anyways though
  21. I'm pretty sure this board warns you about heat with the higher switching frequencies, the max frequency is way higher than on the ASUS Z690 board for example. I don't know how hot stuff gets around the CPU but some airflow over the board is not a bad idea if you go for that max.
