Storm-Chaser

SLO MO Updated

Interesting how your single core dropped a bit, even though you are clocking substantially higher than stock. Is this because in stock form the chip has higher single core turbo vs what you can achieve when overclocking ALL your cores (2nd run) at the same time?

I will update the slo mo board at some point this evening, but here is the main competition leaderboard with a couple updated scores. Top 3 Single Core results: 1) Avacado 879.6 2) J7SC_Orion 693.9 3) Storm-Chaser 684.4 Top 3 Multi Core results: 1) tictoc 18439.1 2)J7SC_Orion 14131.2 3) ENTERPRISE 13497.1 Edit: SLO MO Updated

Yeah but they are all like that. It's usually a low price for the item but shipping is jacked up. I was able to save about $100 with this, even with the high shipping the next cheapest one was like $250, so not so bad after all.

This comment immediately made me think of the hilarious "just gonna send it" videos on youtube. LMAO but seriously I agree, just send it!

Wow this is all great content for the old school rig leaderboard. Keep em coming guys! I really would run my Lenovo T61p w/ core 2 extreme processor X9000, considering it will do 4.2Ghz validations I'm betting I could get a run in at 4GHz @ 1.450v if I let it sit outside for a couple hours. However, the mobo needs to be replaced before I can do that

*Should have said measure performance in a consistent manor between SLO-MO rigs as well so it's at least it is some semblance of a viable competition. Sorry I was rambling there.

Alright! Making a little progress here.

Your advice actually helps me out quite a bit, thanks for that. I will eventually be moving that way (subzero), I definitely have that itch, especially since this chiller thing has really been hella fun to play around with and also given me pretty good results to boot.

Okay, this is where we are at so far, I added the missing rigs as well. Figured I would do this right now and let my custom loop / chiller cool down even further before I try to break 680. So here is the updated board:

Yeah I'm not going to submit that (my laptop) result, or it wont be scored anyway. Just messing around getting my kicks in. And I agree, underclocking should not be allowed because we want to measure performance accurately, so we have a good reference as to how obsolete platforms perform relative to new technology.

Coldest night of the winter so far.. I have the chiller linked up to my custom loop. Hoping to pass this benchmark at 5722MHz, or at least that's the goal for tonight. You can see my temps are ideal for benching ATM. I will report back later with results.

Underside of the CPU only. Thats what I was referring to. My setup consists of: 5 gallon bucket of methonol that sits outside all day 60 plate heat exchanger that is immersed in the 5 gallon bucket, with only the hot side connected (to my custom loop) the cold side is open and passive. Meaning I am not pumping any liquid through the cold side of the plate heat exchanger, it's simply dropped in the bucket and immersed from all sides with cold water. This seems to be sufficient enough for now, especially on nights like tonight, where the temp is 0F. approx 6ft of clear tubing that runs out the window which attach the liquid to liquid heat exchanger in the bucket to my custom loop. In terms of the top of the motherboard, in the vrm/near CPU area, can I blast that with some liquid electrical tape to prevent condensation? People are telling me to use eraser putty or something like that. But if I can do it with LET I will. PC has been off for an hour. Going to see if I can improve on my 680 single core score a little bit now that the liquid in the bucket is about 0F.

I will fix tomorrow, the problem is only have one monitor right now so I have to shuffle things around alot and sometimes things get missed. Used to doing this on 2 or 4 monitors. Anyway, when I go back downstairs in the morning, I will put it on the leaderboard. EDIT: Also need to add @Bastiaan_NL's laptop as well....

Updated with latest submission and fixed sort issue Edit: For those who have dealt with condensation, is it okay to leave the CPU socket alone (LGA 1151) or do I have to worry about the under-side of the CPU as well?

Same here. I put the liquid to liquid heat exchanger outside this evening (I normally put the entire computer outside in addition to this rad) but it was too cold to fuss about with that thing in the sub-zero temps. Though I am getting extensions for the keyboard and mouse and monitor, etc so that I can build a little outside spot for it protected from the weather but will achieve the lowest temps possible. So despite the fact that it's like 10*F right now, I still can cool my loop down yet because even it idle I'm still making just enough heat to keep my 5 gallon bucket of "cold water" / methanol around ambient average "room temp" as opposed to ambient outside temps.

Yup fixing now

Updated to show latest submissions. Hope I didn't forget anyone.

I have one ace left to play. That should really [boost ] my scores. Not going to reveal it now, you guys are going to have to guess as to what I did...

Intel seems to be lagging behind in this one ATM... Where are my dual processor xeon people at???

Updated with new 3960X TR run...

Updated to include the 2700X submission and moved my FX 4350 to the fast category
