Looking on the tube these hit 4.5 np under water cooling and for the bangs for your bucks will suit me for some time to come. not for playing just solitair but rendering / compositing etc. Looking at the koolance vid-nx480 blocks for the grfx and even being swayed towards one of the external koolance cooling options.

Them benchmarks are superb!

4th in the world [fastest in Europe]

only 4th, pah!! :rolleyes:

lol

now wishing i paid a bit more attention at school all those years ago....... i want one

can't wait for some more piccies

Do you plug it into a wall socket or a nuclear powerplant?

I bet that all this will be used for is number crunching, for some theoretical maths or physics.

nice....great stuff!

Saint Jimmy · 1 Jul 2010 at 02:08

Seriously do want..... Wonder what kind of heat this would kick out if it had 3 480's in it o_O

Do you have the guys tracking number so I can go and intercept the delivery truck?

AiiR · 1 Jul 2010 at 02:52

Which celebrity ordered this?

islandboy · 1 Jul 2010 at 07:39

i think when i grow up i will buy 1 of those... lol

How about a SuperPi 1M time then?

Temi_D · 1 Jul 2010 at 08:07

I guess its a good thing we don't have e-peen tax then

Its been picked up in the shop unfortuantly. I wouldnt trust any courier with a system like this!

its about 10seconds at 4.3 which is only marginally faster than a single 980X

you have to remember that superpi is only one thread. this system performs much better in multithreaded applications.

I imagined that'd be the case, it's a fairly outdated benchmark IMO.

yeah, bet it was 2 armed guards with a fleet of trained tactical police officers.

And then the owner took it home and played solitaire

one of the OcUK technicians is a folding enthusiast.
we are currently installing a folding client on the system so we should have some projected PPD outputs from the system for you guys later.

the system has passed prime overnight so after folding we will throw some LinX and maybe IBT at it

so far the best power/performance/heat output ratioo we have found is 3.8GHz [but we have put the chips at 4GHz anyway

]

jakspyder · 1 Jul 2010 at 13:33

man this is cool!

Azra · 1 Jul 2010 at 13:41

How much heat are you getting over 4GHz?
