7.2Ghz (19x379.5) 17sec superPi -120C loaded cascade - pretty damn sweet

Crazy - that guy has a got a special system there - looks like Gollum has his work cut out - take note on the special cooling on the mosfets.

His insulation is almost as big as the mobo

What's that supposed to mean Mav? You weren't actally expecting me to take the SPi WR were you? Especially not with an athlon. I'll still be king of 3d - you'll see - even a 7.2Ghz p4 cant touch a 57. Also he's only got 1 7800.

No gollum mate - you misunderstood what I was saying, clearly I apologise if offended you.
I am assuming you will bench everything including superpi, if anything I wanted to achieve two things by expressing this:
1) Motivation to push harder and faster than anyone here has done espcecially with the hardware you will soon have at your disposal.
2) Invite you to look at the cooling used on the MOSFETS which may come in handy as you strive to reach your ultimate goal.
Nothing more nothing less, plus there's nothing stopping you from going for the FX57 superpi crown.

I don't know about a 7.2Ghz P4 not being able to touch an FX57 in 3dmark.

I think when you hook an FX57 up to a cascade unit as well as cascade cooling cross-fire set of 512MB X1800XT's - you'll find it can't
mmmmmmmmmmm cascade!!

LOL thanks Mav. You didn't offend me you just confused me slightly. Hopefully I will take the athlon superpi record. I didn't spot the mosfet cooling - any chance you could post the pic you're talking about again here? You're right about me winning in 3d cause he only has a 7800 and I'll have 2 X1800s but on a technical point the master card is 256Mb not 512.

@Gollum 
Interesting point about the xfire master being 256MB.
OT I know - what does this mean in terms of overall memory used in a crossfire set-up?
That is to say does it still recognise (use) the extra 256MB on the slave card?

2x120mm fans strapped together with a smaller fan introducing a bit more turbulence around the other components.
This also has the effect of preventing condensation when it's humid.
Crikey that's a big MOFO of a cooling rig!!

What sort of clocks do you get under a cascade with FX57 - 3.8Ghz? Surely a P4 at 7.2Ghz beats it? No-one has run 3dmark with a 6Ghz P4 let alone 7Ghz - is that correct?

Yes about 3.7-3.9Ghz benchable depending on the cascade and cpu week. True - noone has benched over 6Ghz.

LOL Mav. Most people don't qualify to try. And of the people that do most probably can't get it stable for a 3d run. And even the ones who can probably don't have 2 supercooled graphics cards on top of their ridiculous cpu cooler. And even if they had all of the above they probably wouldnt score that well.

If thats the same one i saw the other day, it's barely stable at 7.2ghz, so i doubt it would bench 3d at over 6.5ghz.
Yeah I've invited Tom to do some 3d benches as well. I've also got one of those 670's, and although I've "only" got my regular Mach II GT cooler, superpi 1M will run at about 200 MHz more than 3dmark 2001/03/05 will, which is about 5.45 and 5.25 Ghz respectively.
Now I'm sure the Mhz span between barely stable @ superpi 1M and 3d stable will probably increase further with more exotic cooling, but he has actually run superpi 32M @ 7 Ghz, so I think 3dmark should run at well above 6.5 Ghz. I know I would REALLY like to see some benches at that speed. Also it's the motherboard caving in, not the cpu. Try and do the math, the's cpu is pulling around 450W @ 7.2 Ghz and 2.0V....
I know that he's been struggeling with at least one FX-57 prior to this, but the cold bug just got the better of him. Otherwise I'm sure he'd have reached some amazing results with that chip, given the cascade he runs.
Also, the cooling head on his setup doesn't fit properly on the 670, so he had to modify it a bit and ad a copperplate between the coolerhead and the cpu, with a more snug fit, I'm sure he'd be able to put another 100+ Mhz out of the 670 chip.
My only consolation is that when he testet out some memory timings @ 14x multiplier in the 360-400 Mhz fsb range, I was actually marginally faster at the same speed in superpi 1M mod 1.4...

Hi lars - me old 32m superpi sparring buddy, how's it going mate, good to see you here .
If a rig is 32m superpi stable than it is bench stable for any 3dmark application - so is he was to invest in a sli system the we would see some interesting scores.
Cheers

Hi mav
Yes I do get in here once in a while... Much too busy at work though... Ah well, only 25 years till retirement..... Yeah, I usually get around the same 32M and 3dmark benchable speed with my setups as well, so an SLI setup with a 7 Ghz P4 would certainly be interesting. Unfortunately, there aren't any decent oc-able Intel SLI motherboards out just yet. I know Tom have the cards to do it. Probably when a decent mobo based on the SLI capable 975 chipset comes out, he may start benching some 3d. In 05 he probaly won't be able to do much, but 03 should be very, very good. Quite possibly a WR with properly cooled and volt modded videocards.
