I used my NEO2 for both DI runs. I don't think the memory controller is the culprit because used high multipliers and low HTT.....

Yeah, the FX-55 is not locked upwards laugh.gif
So you can totally eliminate memory out of equations.

Hmm, I got a feeling the 'Clawhammer' CAA2C's would be able to clock higher than what the FX-55 can with sub-zero cooling. That would be an interesting test I believe smile.gif

I think it's actually cheaper for Westerner to dwelve into crazy overclocking and modding stuff. In general I think it's much more affordable to get parts and hardware overseas as standard of living is high. If I was living in Msia now earning RM I can only dream of building a A64 and whatmore SLI rig smile.gif

This is what I think: For a Malaysian, a simple, tasty and filling meal will at most cost roughly RM10 a meal including a drink. Let's say to purchase some OCZ value VX ram locally will set you back about RM600 (just a rough currency conversion).

In Australia, a more than filling good quality meal with a drink will also set you back AUD10 on average. However, for me to purchase that similar OCZ ram is AUD170 here! In other words, I would have to save money much much longer before I can get to purchase those OCZ sticks if I were living in Malaysia and earning in RM smile.gif

Food is cheap and standard of living is low in Malaysia. Factoring out currency exchange, there's a huge gap compared to Australia. If i'm not wrong, Sydney, Australia is ranked the 3rd highest standard of living in the world.

Back on topic, i'm eagerly awaiting some results from arj. He's gonna be my main contender for the 3DMark Hall of Fame smile.gif. This is gonna be interesting thumbup.gif

PCcrazy, yeap I couldn't agree more. I myself have earned at least 2k AUD doing several days worth of design work. Skilled workforce get paid good money here mate laugh.gif

I'm currently waiting for the Maze4 SLI blocks to arrive in Australia. Suppliers told me it should be here by the end of the month. Don't know how accurate is that though.

arj, what blocks did you order? Did you get the NV6800 or the Maze4's too? I think the Maze4's would perform better with higher flowrates and cooling efficiency. The NV6800's seem to be quite restrictive unless you run a separate loop with its own pump. Care to update us on what your upcoming SLI cooling system is gonna be like? smile.gif

I ordered the Maze4 GPU, wanted to get the NV6800 but decided not to because quite a number of it's users reported problems when using it. As for the watercooling system, I have a Black Ice Extreme 2 radiator MCP650/Eheim 1250 pump and a DD TDX. I might run the GPU blocks and the CPU blocks in one loop or two separate loops if the temp goes up too high.

Hehe if I had the hardware, i'd go two loops without thinking twice. The 6800GT/Ultra's produce crazy amounts of heat. With stock cooler GPU2 is idling at 70C now in an open rig. GPU1 cooled with the Zalman copper cooler is idling at around 49C now.

Btw arj, where did you order your Maze4 blocks from? I might just order it straight from DD as the prices in Australia are expected to be even more expensive compared to DD's including shipping.

I have enough parts for two loops but two radiators on my table is gonna look really messy shakehead.gif

I got the blocks from dangerden.com, shipping is US$35. According to the tracking info, it will arrive on the 30th thumbup.gif

Hehe you should've ordered the BIX3 and perhaps the new Laing pump too then tongue.gif

I think i'll order direct from DD. Hopefully I don't have to wait too long before my water cooled SLI rig is up and running. When did you order your parts? $35US is quite expensive for something which takes more than 5 days?

On Monday or Tuesday. It's being shipped using FedEx. A 3-4 days shipment would cost US$50.

LN2, im not sure cos normally its not accesible to consumers..
Its just like all those acids and chemical stuffs..
If u happen to know somebody working at science lab, i think this might come handy..
Hmm, maybe i jus give my buddy a call and try asking if he could get his hands on LN2..

some funny thoughts to share..

Dry Ice Obligatory Warning
Madshrimps ©

Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and it can concentrate in low areas or in enclosed spaces (like a car or a room where dry ice is sublimating). Normal air is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and only 0.035% Carbon Dioxide. If the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air rises above 5%, carbon dioxide can become toxic.

Arj, u sure u r not toxicated  laugh.gif
Any clue where did u get those big blocks of DI..

I think can use potassium hydroxide to absorb CO2

A block of around 250g can last about an hour if you just leave it alone outside the icebox. You can bench for around 7-8 hours with 10kg of DI biggrin.gif


You do the math xcrue...
