Chistmas Ln2 meet

[bazx]

well this years ln2 meet will be going ahead

just need to set the day

the week i can run it is between chistmas day and new years day

we also have a some support this year from ln2 pot maker Little Devil

he has sent over 3 sets of cpu pots for us to use

i will be supplying the Ln2

this event is open to bench team members

if you fancy coming along drop ya name in here:waiting:

[Thickbrit]

It goes without saying,i wouldn't miss it for the world,cheers Bazx.

yep, i'am with you fella - i'll be there:coffee:

[blindfitter]

I would welcome the opportunity, to see Ln2 in action , live

[4Qman]

ME DEFIANTLY. Want meet all you lot and smoke some hardware :yea: I have a Pot ill bring but wana try LD if i can.

You want money b4 event Baz to pay for bits?

[K404]

Whether or not I can make it, if you guys need GPU pots, give me a shout :)

[sacha35]

As you know baz i am in for sure.

[bazx]

its going to be a big do this year and with all the pots we have should have 3 or 4 rigs on the go all day

you dont have to pay for anyting dave

[Stocky]

Where is it being held?

Also, a list of planned benching systems might be a nice plan?

[bazx]

5 mins from gatwick

stocky it would be great if you could find out what hardware will be coming this year

[Pjalchemist]

Missed out on the last 2 of these Baz due to other plans. I'd love to come down and document the whole day with lots of photography action going on and then can post it all up here!

I've even a decent rig now to bench

[vento1]

Hello bazx i would still like to come if you want me motherboard wise i will have an asus p5e graphics maybe a pair of 3870's and cpu will be x6800.

[boardy]

If I can get to Thicky I'll be there. I may even be able to get hold of some toys to bring along to thrash.

I currently have the E66, and Q66 to bench and push as hard as they will go.

Will anyone be using cascades during the event or will one be up for grabs, if so I'd like to put a bid in on a cascade for running as my last 2 LN2 sessions weren't great, and haven't run under a cascade before.

Boardy

[Stocky]

Gatwick, that's not bad as I thought it's be up north somewhere :D

I should have something nice to bench, whether it's just my Q6700(ES) or if I invest in something for it nearer the time.

As far as breaking records - would it make any sense to use some older hardware and make some records with that as then they'll be less likely to be beaten in the future (P4's, Athlons etc...). I don't know exactly how the system works in terms of points etc, so if someone could clear it up for me that'd be great :)

[Thickbrit]

There are a fair few points to be had from hwbot with older/less popular hardware.Even if you only run a suite of system benchmarks,which don't take long to run,you will pick up 10/12 points + and the reward of being #1 with that hardware.Same goes for gfx,many top scores with older gfx were set with older cpu's to match and could easily be beaten with a modern cpu,for some fairly big points.I am actually setting up some s/s action for my old 670 at this moment to plunder a few easy system bench points,and am also planning to borrow a mates 660 to do the same with.Then the real fun will be putting em under ln2 and just beating the living shit out of em :D

[Stocky]

I'm looking at doing some old skt478 benching in the near future. I miss the old things. Not that it's that old, but my 7800GTX 512MB obviously needs a good seeing to! :cool:

[LittleDevil]

I think it will be great there :cool: bazx did I send you enough pots :biggrin:

Regards

Stocky i never though i'd meet someone that also had a long lasting love of the 478 socket. I'd give up my rig right now to go back on one. Things were easyer and simpler and much more fun. Thicky knows my love for them all too well!

[Stocky]

Skt478 for the win! :D

I have a beauty of a chip which I could never bare to sell. I'm glad I didn't sell it now as I plan on going back to it and modding up a skt478 board for some good benchies :)

Just not sure which board to go for, as the obvious choice would be the Asus P4C800-Deluxe (although the IC7-Max3 is on par) - but I'm not sure whether to go with AGP or that PCI-E one that they released - do you know the one I mean (I can't remember the numbers)?

[Cupra]

this is a good idea, i got a few 754 cpu's somewhere

Yeah i know the one ya mean, had an X in the name or something. The MAX3 was a faster and higer clocking bord with some killer mods! Few showing on ebay now and then. I might have to try and get one as well, just for old time sakes

[bazx]

pots have arrived 3 cpu sets for the meet

he has also said he will be sending over some GPU pots for us to test

I won't be able to make it but I can loan one of my V modded 8800GTX's for LN2 action. :)

[4Qman]

Dude that's EXACTLY what the team needs to start doing to get the points up. I can understand its a trust issue but i would responsible for it and take it for the day if that is ok with you. :)

i have temporary closed this thread

Asus P4GD1 perhaps ?

[Stocky]

Asus P4GD1 perhaps ?

I think that's the one! Thanks :)

[bazx]

i have the day for the ln2 meet now

Thursday 27th december

the last delivery for the Ln2 will be friday 21st so as you can see there will be 6 days for the ln2 to evaporate

i would hope we dont loose to much before the event

[vento1]

The 27th is perfect for me.

[Thickbrit]

Would keeping the ln2 as cool as possible help it keep longer ?

[bazx]

no

its all about the dewar somtimes ya get a very good one and others time

well not so good

the workshop will be around 0c over christmas any ho:biggrin:

most likley loose a few liters

but i am get 50l this year so we should be fine

[boardy]

50l ?? How much do you normally get Baz? You using a different dewar this time?

[bazx]

20 liters last year

[4Qman]

Baz out of interest mate. How much is 50L LN2?

I'm a nosey bugger :p

[bazx]

about £200

[Thickbrit]

Ah 50 litres,that's me sorted,so what is everyone else gonna use then ? :biggrin:

Dave

OK, PM me for details. I'll post here to keep things public RE our agreement. I'll let you all agree where the card is best utilisized.

Would you like stock cooling / Fuzion waterblock /naked?

I can prep the card however you would like. :)

Anyone good at fixing dead motherboards? I can let this one go if fixable:

:D


http://www.weescott.co.uk/images/Intel/BoneTrail_002_web.jpg

[Thickbrit]

Any idea why it died ?

[weescott]

DOA from Intel. :(

Edit: powers on, powers off, powers on, powers off...

[Stocky]

Tried a new BIOS chip?

[weescott]

nope, just different hardware.

[Stocky]

It might be worth a try; but see if others agree. The only board I've had go down was an IC7-MAX3 on phase and that was a hardware issue, so I can't say for sure.

[sacha35]

Have a look at the pins where the CPU sits on the M/B, one of them could have broken of, so the pin-outs won’t be making all contacts with the CPU.

[weescott]

pins are 100%. not 1 out of place.

[sacha35]

As you said the fans spin up and then cut of and keep doing this it sounds like the M/B is looking for the CPU this is why I said are all the pins making contact with the CPU as it sounds like a CPU problem.

[Johnny Bravo]

weescott you testing with an air cooler? I know that abit and other board if there is no fan plugged in to the fan header will do the exact same.
