Hey guys
I was just doing some FSB Testing and MHz Testing to know what clocks i will be able to bench on with a couple of 8800GTS 512MB cards on LN2
looks like 5.7GHz easy and with a bit of tweaking and wresting 5.8GHz may be possible
Note: i used the XP disk from my P5B DLX benchmarks and didn't have time to load any drivers....just benched on that drive LOL
These are just some sneak peak results. Nothing was optimised. I ran all the windows while running benchmarks and used the PC while on it so this is nothing more a hint to give you heads up that you'll be able to use dual cores to "seriously" bench 3D with the new chipset.
This is the only info i am allowed to post until embargo lifts
Test Configuration:
Nvidia Reference Board 790i Ultra SLI
(stock board, no mods)
Intel Core2 Duo E8500 Q745A703 (1.74-1.81vcore used)
2GB DDR3 Corsair Dominators PC14400 :up: (1.96vdimm DMM measured)
PCI Express Nvidia 8800GT
620W Corsair PSU
kingpin F1 Extreme Edition Solid copper CPU LN2 Pot
Big mamma 35L LN2 Dewar
80GB SATA Hard Drive
Windows XP Pro 32bit
5.8GHz validation (611MHz FSB >> straight boot from bios as i didn't have any FSB OC software installed)

stability wasn't there @5.8GHz because my CPU had a nasty cold bug. i had to boot at -118C and keep it there for 1M superpi....anything more or less and i'd lose it heheh (lucky i have this F1EE) but with a bit of work i should be able to get this workable i have some things to try heh
Hope you like what you see
