In this thread I am going to be posting about the benching I am doing including Scores, Points earned and Rig pics for anyone in the forums to comment and ask questions.

This weekend I had limited but some time to bench. I am currently looking for Hardware points which means benching hardware that many have benched before and trying to beat current records. You get more points for popular hardware that is why I choose accordingly and focus my efforts.

I am currently benching an ATI HD 5770.

Here is a pic of the card set up in the Ivy Z77, Maximus V Xtreme, G.SKILLTrident X, Antec PSU Rig for 05 with -100 cascade on graphics and -120 Cascade on CPU. For 03 I use Corsair Dominater PSC based Dimms.



and here is a shot of the-120 CPU cascade compared to the Intel box heatsink!!!



In the session with this hardware I got two silver cups which in short means I am second in the world with this card and both 3D mark 03 and 05 Benchmarks. On both occasions taking the card to nearly 1300mhz which is a good improvement over stock 875.

Here are the 03 and 05 scores.

I then switched to RIVE and 3930K at 5.686ghz for some 06 with the same card and managed to take a world record. For this I switched RAM to quad channel team Xtreme 2600 kit, which tunes very very well around 2450.

So all in I am very pleased with my first bench session while representing OCUK. One world record and two very close with almost 120 Hardware points for my efforts.
 
That chip I have had ages although is not nearly my best. I am going to run 03 and 05 again with my best chip to take the records. Then I will do Aquamark and 01 with this config too. As both of those are heavy CPU bound I leave the best chip for them.

Once thats done I have a great 4890 to do full benches with.

Then multi card 680's after that!!!!
 
This weekend I did not have too much time to bench. Just tried to improve afew scores from last week and then put the 4890 on cascade.

Here we see improvements in 03 and 05 on 5770 both still ranked second globally.





I also did some Aqua mark with the 5770 taking third place in the global rankings with the CPU well over 6ghz.



here is the HWbot link http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2344929_

Finally my first 4890 score a world record in 05.



and the HWbot link: http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2345044_

Next I intend to hit a full set of 3D benches on this 4890 card which looking at the above result should net me more HWpoints on the bot. Vantage and 06 on X79 is coming!!!
 
Did a lot of benching this weekend!!!! Here we go!!!!

3D Mark 11 4 Card, Second best 3D 11 score by anyone with any rig ever!!!!

3D Mark 11 3 Card, second best 3 Card score on the bot!!!



3D Mark 11 2 Card, top 5, 2 Card scores on the bot!!!



3D Mark Vantage, 4 Card, Top Three Vantage score ever posted!!!



3D Mark Vantage 3 Card, Top 2 Three card scores on the bot!!!



Unigen Xtreme, Top 10 Scores on Unigen ever posted. This is with 3 cards so 4 cards!!! we will see.



3D Mark 03, 4 Card top 20 scores ever posted.



3D Mark 03 3 Card top 10, 3 card score ever posted!!!



Really pleased with this weekends efforts!!!! This puts me in the top ten Pro Overclockers world wide. HWbot upgraded my status to Pro Overclock which is the top Overclocking league when I joined OCUK.
 
Did abit of LN2 benching this weekend. Did some Super Pi 1mb and 3D Mark 03 and Unigen with three Lightening 7970 cards on the Giga UP7. This chip has more in it for sure now I have the OC Bios for the UP7 that allows higher ranges on voltages. The UP7 performed great though no cold bug even on LN2. In this session I managed to snag a top two ever score for 3D Mark 03 a top four ever score for Unigine and a top 25 score for pi 1mb with the 3770K at over 6.750ghz. The CPU has more in it too with the new bios so I try to improve this at the weekend!!!

Pi 1mb

Unigine



Pics of the Rig. The first is for 1mb and 2D benches the others are with 7970 in place. I bench 4 cards too on this rig next session in 03,05,06 and Unigine.

Various LN2 CPU and Cascade / water colled GPU benching results from this weekend.

05, MSI GTX680 Lightning, 1750mhz 1937mhz (Cascade -107 loaded) CPU 6540 LN2 (-175 Loaded) , DDR3 2616 10-12-11-25 1T Tuned. Tuned Top 8 in the world single GPU. On Giga UP7



06 GTX680 MSI GTX 680 Lightning 1750mhz, 1937 (Cascade). CPU 6424 (LN2), DDR 2568 10-12-11-25 1T Tuned Top 20 in the world Single GPU on Giga UP7



4 Card 06. MSI 7970 Lightning 1320,1875 (Water). CPU 6424 (LN2) DDR3 2210mhz, 9-11-10-25 1T Tuned top 15 In the world 06 scores ever. Giga UP7 MB.



4 Card Unigine. MSI Lightning 1320,1800(Water) CPU 6320mhz (LN2), DDR3 2210mhz 9-11-10-25 1T Tuned. Top 9 Four Card Unigene Scores on the bot. MB Giga UP7.

 
Abit more all on the UP7

1mb CPU @ 6860mhz DDR 2600, 32mb CPU@ 6710mhz DDR2600, Pifast CPU at 6756mhz DDR2600, 03 3 card CPU 6450, 3 x 7970 1275/1900, 03 2 card CPU 6450, 3 2 x 7970 1375/1900 and 2 Card 05, CPU 6450 2 x7970 1275/1900.











 
The Top 1mb its at 6860mhz, Pifast is at 6750mhz and 32mb it at 6710mhz. Its capable of 6820mhz pi32mb and Pifast but this comes later I am sandbagging results for HWbot Pro cup. Which requires both 32mb and Pifast of the 5 disciplines.

The 1mb is at the top CPU frequency this Ivy is capable of.
 
OCNpro Just got our team together. I will be benching next Monday and Tuesday for it. Several of these are practice runs.

Looks like I may now be benching LN2 at Gadget show so I am gonna try do some Pro cup stuff for the punters who come down. CPU and RAM on LN2 for 32mb.
