Oh the memories

7770 before death, Coolit ECO ALC before death.

Ouch, that had to hurt. In retrospect you should have shutdown/ unplugged.

I was only pushing a sata cable out of the way....but yes, I should have turned it off.

Live, and learn? Too Soon?

Was it bad luck it leaked or a possible defect? Nice job with the cable routing btw.

It had been keeping the CPU at 47c max temps for over 4 years it finally crapped up in 2015 so no it was a great performer and lasted too, luckily the fluid was non conductive.

I paid £25.00 for it 2nd hand with no fans and a small bruise on the rad so it was a proper bargain. I was hoping it would last me a bit longer than 6 months though.



It was too big for my case but I sorted out a "workaround"

Pretty extensive modifications you had going on with that case in a couple of places.

It looked lovely

I forgot to mention I was using AMD's VSR to run with a 2560x1440 resolution since my monitor only supports a native resolution of 1080P. Does the GPU render at the higher resolution when VSR is flipped on?

No noticeable difference on GPU load in 2D mode but gaming will have a large hit, so yeah things will render at that res.

I hadn't noticed this before at HWBOT.....it tells you how much you have overclocked from stock......

[dorsetknob]

don't Believe the figure in Red
Stock = 2.93Ghz overclock = 4.55Ghz does no equate to a 99.84% overclock
more like a 62.5% overclock (giving a 4.57Ghz overclock )

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I know......hence the

 

[Recon-UK]

Only time i found my percentage was below.

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/details/v8m2x

36% core boost.

 

[Recon-UK]

I found out actually that if i enable energy saving on my mobo i can't go above 4ghz on my XEON because i need a nasty amount of voltage to offset the core speed reduction and fluctuation.

So 1.36v @ 4.3ghz is only doable on fixed clocks otherwise i need 1.42v!

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

My Xeon overclocks in %

E 5620 stock 2.4 ghz my o/c 4.0 ghz ...........66%

E 5640 stock 2.6 ghz my o/c 4.5 ghz ............73 % ( @Recon-UK this was 1.416v)

X 5650 stock 2.6 ghz my o/c 4.5 ghz ............73 %

X 5670 stock 2.9 ghz my o/c 4.6 ghz ............58 %

 

[Recon-UK]

Even my 2500k at 5.2ghz is not reaching those percentages...

Here it is at 5ghz.. it says 50%.

Thinking of building your own Skulltrail PC ??? then

you are aware they are socket 771 4 core no ht and from Hong kong

No but 2 of those overclocked would be pretty beastly if folding etc.

 

[dorsetknob]

Pro's ?
cons = Expensive hard to find decent motherboards. Cpu's run hot even for Xeons (150w TPD per Cpu )

You would need a skulltrail M/b for Overclocking capability normal 2p server boards not really suitable for overclocking )

I have been educated.

Jesus 150w TDP :O

run R15

I ran last night Cinebench, as you can see my CPU was at 4.3GHz and my never went above 1379MHz.

1379MHz is way low to my GPU base clocks ( 1721MHz ) and to Boost Clock 1962MHz, Cinebench it is not pushing enough my card in order to get high FPS.
