temps looks nice. turn of physx. and put up cpu-z so we can see what's up with that?

gpu score for stock look good as well.

 

mate shes looking bloody good!!!

 

im putting a few clocks on vantage now, new post inc with new score

 

tried those settings u said mandrake and got this

 

Getting better!

 

Very nice Pmanuk and the temps look great as well.

 

Wow! Congrats as well!!!! I'm in U.S. so right now waiting on Sager for mine.

 

Pete whats the max temp you'd feel safe with?

 

Nice. That's what I got at stock. This should be interesting.

 

turning physx of will lower the score slightly but give a truer score.

 

Cheers mate I think you'll be very very happy!! I'm just waiting for a decent game to come along now so I can give it some.....MOD WARFAR 2 where are YOU??

 

Do the exact same thing with PhysX off.

 

indeed

depends on how far the cards can go

 

i wouldnt go over 95 on cpu and 90 on gpu before i started to sweat

i think on this rig the volts will go before the temps do

 

Chicago, IL (well subburbs). I ordered from PNB and emailed Donald today and they said they are waiting on Sager as they don't have the units yet.

 

ok doing it now

 

Here's mine. Settings aren't exact but close. LINK.

I will be home tomorrow to post some live scores if you want to do comparisons.

 

ok so far with your temps what do you guys think of it. (temp wise........)

compared to the w90, m17x, whitebook, and i'll do the np9262

the gpu's, cpu, hdd. so far.

i know the cpu haven't been pushed in vantage yet so after this run we can see how hot it will get.

 

Is that the latest flashed BIOS/firmware for the 280M GPUs? If so, I'm guessing you have to flash them one at a time like take one out flash it, put the other one in and take the other one out then flash the 2nd card. I haven't flashed BIOS's/firmware on GPUs so just curious.

 

So am I.

 

Is this your way of window shopping? lol!

He needs to test temps with OCCT. Pound the GPUs for 20 minutes.

 

Lol. no i'm just seeing what each manchine has to offer as terms as performance, cooling, stablility, bios features, etc.

i think i have my mind set on what manchine to get. just not to sure yet.

i know how the gpu's will do since i had the same cooling,, but he has a smaller die, so it might be lower.
GPU occt: 9800m gtx
for me occt hit 93 and then downclocked to 80 and just repeated. but it took 9mins to hit 90 which i think is good. (the 9800m gtx crital was set to 90 in the bios so i didn't touch that.)

as for other apps and games, i haven't seen the gpu break 74 and that was in hot conditions. in cooler room temp i haven't passed 64-68.
CPU: [email protected] 65w cpu
as for as cpu. i had a e8600. occt also hit the tdp for mines which was quite low.(it was 73. it was also in the intel cpu sheet.)

but no other apps has been able to break 68 no matter how hard i tried.

all of this is stocked, overvolted and overclocked will do different results.

what are your results?

 

with physx off

 

re temps on this donda so much better then the white book, end of really

 

can you provide a screen shot of cpu-z with that. with that score it seems your cpu is clocked at 2.8ghz MIN. i would say 2.93 but i'm still not sure about overclocking on this.

 

Nice, you should be in the 11.5k-11.7k range giving the GPUs some gas.

My 12002 run was done at 690|1065|1725.

 

on that score yes it was clocked at 2.78 using NST

 

and you have the beta bios now?

 

no just normal one

trying ur settings now mandrake

 

Some people had issues getting their cards running that high. See how it works for you.

 

you going to get a driver failure with that one.

 

I didn't keep track of my temps too well but I remember that my CPU topped out around 74 and my GPUs after 20 minutes of OCCT was at 81.

 

When you find the right CPU and GPU OC things start to run like butter. He'll probably have to experiment a bit.

 

was that stocked or overclocked? and which cpu? i believe that's the x9100 right?

 

It was the x9100 and it was all stock.

 

yeh it crashed, it will take some fiddling and I only installed the cards myself today a little burn in time would be nice

 

ok nice. it seems the m17x has nice cooling. i think the w90 has better cpu cooling though. but not gpu cooling.

and the gpu for only hiting 81 for 20 is great!!!

 

you had to install everything your self????

 

You just got to find the right combo for that machine....gotta cut out I'll check in again later tonight.

 

you know i havent even installed a darn game yet lol

 

that's a true benchmarker

 

didnt have to no

i got there and we were playing with it and my m17 so we removed cards, regreased em

the guys at kobalt would have done it for me if i had asked but i enjoy having a fiddle, even better when the MD standing next to you so no warrenty issues

 

you wasn't scared that you might break something if front of them???

 

no not really

as i said really nice down to earth guys was having a coffee with Andrew (Managing Director) and Neil (Technical Director) both excellent guys and highly reccomended

 

well i'm not near you so i can't just chill with directors lol.


do yu have the famous 3dmark06, you benchmarked alot so you might as well throw that in.

 

i ran it at stock earlier and it came about 13700 at stock

just doing SFIV then thats me done for night

 

what time is it for you? it's 6:41pm for me.

 

quarter to midnight

 

Here is SFIV no AA

i will do some with AA over the next day or so

not too shabby eh

 

yeah i see what you mean then. i'm glad you got it.

so your first impressions with the keyboard and the lights except for the keyboard etc. how is it.

do you mind if you can take a picture of it. there were two keyboards out for it. i want to see which one you got. and do a little compare with your m17 and it.
