Playing with a X6800

[Dualist]

I managed to get hold of a X6800 this weekend to play with. First time with an unlocked multi so had a load of playing around with it, but here's my scores and results :D

Chip had a crappy IHS that was not level at all, check out the top left and also the bottom left contact marks. After checking it worked on filthy air I then lapped the bugger.

1M prime was pretty good, got 10.5ish secs. I can bench on everything at 4.9ghz (been playing Crysis at that speed too), anymore than that and I get lock up :@

I've noticed though that most scores over the 5ghz mark on hwbot are LN2 or mega cooling. My cascade is dipping into the -60's on load so I need to get my finger out, I am building another cascade with two 31cc rotaries that should cure my problem but this is the best suicide shot I could do, but atleast I got the 5ghz :D

Good going Dave :)

Is that -60C on speedfan and if it was what was the evap temperature?

Can you run 489MHz x 10 multiplier with stability?

That was -60ish in speed fan, evap side temp was -83C.

I can run 10x 490 no problem, at these temps she's a 4.9ghz chip regardless of combination of multi. :waiting:

Well done dave good work mate,will it run 3Dbenches at this speed if so get some 3D's done with that chip.

Could you post what your settings were in bios please.

Suicide shot can be entered onto HWBOT CPUZ :)

Nice work - looking forward to seeing the new build mate.

@ Sacha, yep she's solid to 3D work, just got to re-volt mod my card again and slap the water blocks back on.

@Mav, yep already done it ;)

I will post the new cascade build here once I get my bits from Patrick but here's (http://www.thermo-skunk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2) what I've got so far, hope to be finished around christmas and new year :D

Thanks for that. The new cascade is looking realy good.

Nicely done Dave! When you planning on doing the Vcore mod for your board?

Very nice - good motivation to do something with my own one that's stuck in an AsRock board :O

Swap it with my E6600? :D

[Johnny Bravo]

depends can your e6600 do 600FSB on air? :D

I have a crappy board, which doesn't let you change multiplyer. It's a decent one though. Does 4.2GHz (1.6v) on air (ThermalTake SonicTower).
