Do you have special sticks of ram to use for benching with the CPU's?

For all my X58 Machines i use just these:

What do you guys run for your 24/7 rigs??

i7 7700K 5.0GHz 1.31V ( Delidded )

I haven't decided yet if upgrade to a 7820X

 

[phill]

2Gb sticks I take it Knoxx29?? I have some server grade ram from work at home, so I'm not sure that's going to be the best benching ram!! Do you populate both banks if you do dual CPU tests??

I'm still on my 920's at times and I have my 2600k.. I have a 4770k as well and a 5960X but they aren't being used at the moment.. Very sadly Money for projects I'd love to do but can't

Celeron G540

I run my X5660 daily, it’s the only desktop I’ve got at home.

And no, not planing to upgrade soon (see system specs)

 

[phill]

I've far to many PC's at home.. I have a problem!! lol

2Gb sticks I take it Knoxx29??

No 2GB sticks for me, for both SR-2 Classified 8GB sticks.

Do you populate both banks if you do dual CPU tests??

I don't, i use just 3 X 8GB sticks for each CPU.

For the X58 Classified 3 i use 3 X 4GB sticks

Looking for a third SR-2

I am so tempted to buy this one.

Here's a few pics of my little EVGA boards I've kept hold since 2009...

SR-2

The 759 I had from someone back in 2008 and never looked back, best thing ever.. I eventually moved into my own home, bought 3 Dell 3008 monitors, 3 580's (upgrade from two 5970's) and gamed across 90" of screen with the 8064 x 1600 res Was awesome!! I had a few SAS drives and TRI SLI in one for gaming with until I got myself some water cooled 7970's which I still have, I need to get my bum in gear and get them plumbed in and tested with the separate cooling loop...

I couldn't get either of the 759 or the 762 boards to ever take 12Gb properly so I just left them with 6Gb.. I lost so much on the overclock I just never worried about it since I have the 2600k rig that has 16Gb in it.. Even the 4770k has the same, 16Gb. The only one that will be a bit different is eventually whenever I get the 5960X running, it'll have either 32Gb or 64Gb, not sure I really need to put 128Gb in it yet lol That said, I do have a small case to put a few things in, I'll have to put some pictures up of that as I'm hoping to eventually grab a few things from work and put in there...... Just because

Which case is that?

I need 2 cases.

Thats my only RiG.....It´s nothing over the Top,I build it cheap using some of my old hardware after selling my previous AMD FX setup.....I am thinking to add 24 Gb more of ram and maybe some better cooling......

 

[phill]

Which case is that?

I need 2 cases.

It's a Danger Den Double Wide 21 case I had it custom made and shipped over, it's a beast It'll fit 2 quad rads, 1 triple, 10 hard drives, 2 optical units (if you want that...) and I believe it'll handle an SR-2 size board... I had two because of the 759 and 762 boards I had They weigh a ton but they are worth it

I don't find it here in Germany.

Edit: the SR-2 won't fit, just ATX motherboard

 

[phill]

Danger Den are no longer around, they where an American based company, I had to have it shipped over to the UK The 762 is an ATX-XL I believe, I could have had the HPTX board fitments when I bought it, but I don't believe I did in the end.. I'll see if I can find a link or something.. I had a build log over on Chilled PC and Overclockers.co.uk but sadly the picture links no longer work but I can always upload a few if you'd like some

and your supposed to add "Make my day"

Sorry sorry

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Not too happy with my temps


Its a H 100 pump, i took the 240mm rad off some time ago and fitted a 120mm...........perhaps it needs a top up.....



Still chuffed to bits with the performance from X 5670 obviously.....

 

[phill]

What board do you have this in Caplockstuck? I would wonder if it's worth replacing my 920 D0's with some but I'm curious if I'd have to modify my EVGA boards to get them to work.. I do have a Gigabyte X58 SOC sat in its box, so I wonder if it might work in that?

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

What board do you have this in Caplockstuck?

ASUS ROG ii Extreme

Its the first PC listed in my specs.



The Giga board you have is one of the best overclockers.

 

[phill]

I really should update mine, it's a little out of date and there's a few

I bought it purely for that reason and the fact when my best mate mentioned it, at the price I paid he went nuts when it showed up It was my last buy before my job and wages dropped.. Plus I did want to see what the fuss was about since I have the EVGA Classified boards sat here as well, I've always felt the EVGA boards where the best of the best back then.. Maybe it was more the CPU back then compared to the motherboard but either way When I can buy myself a PSU, it'll be the first thing I will power up and test.. I have a pair of X5650's in my SR-2 so I could always try those out

 

[FireFox]

That is impressive! I've managed only 4.3 on this motherboard, and much less on the Gigabyte one with the 920.

I got this today

Later i will try a higher clock speed, of course and more voltage

 

[phill]

Looks like a fairly decent CPU there What sort of benchmarks have you been able to manage with it at those speeds??

I haven't tried anything yet, just posting some CPU frequency score on HWBOT.

what would you suggest, forget Cinebench

 

[phill]

When I was properly benching for HWBot, I did each and every test lol I'll see if I can grab my scores for ya

http://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/core_i7_920/

I think a few have passed me but I was only testing on ambient water Not had it under Phase for a long time.. LN2 was always meant to be tried but never got there!!

 

[FireFox]

You're not worried at all about burning that CPU up are you?

Not at all, if i burned i buy a new one.
