3 weeks of LN2,
I can think of lots of reasons, lol
LOL...at least 3 weeks of dry ice...still trying to source some Ln2 and a dewar.
I've been having massive difficulties with the dry ice. Corrupted harddrive..but when I reduce the OC it is fine...I don't know if i'm too cold, or not cold enough or what...I'm measuring temps near the top of the pot at -30c ......next mount i'm putting the temp probe toward the bottom of the pot to see a better picture where my temps might really be. I can't seem to get into windows vista at any FSB over 400 for the last two days (yes..I cheated on my promise to wife not to do any benching on thursday)...I've lost confidence in my ability...the first day of dryice was ok, I learned alot, but the last two days have been nothing but trouble and i can't seem to figure out the problem. I've tried higher voltages on NB, CPU, ram, SB and i've tried lower voltages on all the same...I've switched hardrives, i've tried both XP and vista....when I do get into windows (around 5200MHz) it only lasts for a few minutes and I can't get anything done other than a simple screen shot and CPUz verification...a few times I've lost my GPUs (windows tells me the drivers are missing)..when i reduce the oc the GPUs are fine.....heck, i'm going crazy trying to figure this stuff out...
bottom line: take 3 weeks off during the wars so I can figure this crude out and do some good for the team...

Alright. I'm downloading all 3 3dmarks right now (I know I know...no point in running 3dmark on a crappy gfx so I never downloaded them). It'll be down to the wire as I'll have to run the benches after work. I get home around 9PM EST.
Glad I can help out though.

hahahahahaa......that much I do know. I'm just experiencing big problems since I've gone to the cpu pot and dry ice. But the challenge is very entertaining....it's just got me stumped big time. one thing for sure I'm not bored yet...

If you guys think you could use another quad and GTX I'd be willing to bench mine....

I have the same issue with my setup, I re-installed the geforce drivers, still 3DMAR06 does not acknowledge my SLI, my 3DMARK06 score did go up from 13 K to 18 K with my quad at 3.6 though, I think it is a glitch with 3dm06 not recognizing SLI with the G92 cards

It's not you mate, I'm starting to think it's the cards drivers/vista/bios
I'm having the same issues and todd can't seem to boot into windoz at all now.
When they are running they go well, but it's hard work.
400fsb is the max bench stable fsb my setup likes with high clocks.
Boot at 375X13 and work your way up to 400fsb with setfsb, thats what I'm doing and it seems to have helped, though I'm using X14.
Will do

31 members have posted scores, there are 3 that said they may, but they haven't had the time as yet and it's fast running out.
So we still need 4 - 9 rigs, we can drop the A sub team on the 2nd team if we want, so 35+ is the number I'm looking for.
So if there's anyone else that can be part of it, or post up a 2nd rig, now is the time.

Anyone got any tips on using what to use&include for a fully ready-to-bench XP CD ISO?

Dean can show you how to fix that problem
LOL, then I'd be at the bottom of the UE ranks.
Bucket of ice water when the time comes for the real runs is what I'll use.
This quad FSB wall has taken me a few weeks now to fine tune it to be bench stable. 478x8 is now totally stable except for OCCT-RAM tests. Still testing on ambient water for now.
Oh and you can see I got the R600 to bench stable on 962Mhz now, so 1Ghz is definitely possible.

I just use the XP SP1 CD and load the benchmark and go.
I was making Vista ISO's but each time a new driver came out, I needed to re-do it, so it was costing me more time than it was saving.
