Thought I would share our crazy 3 day benching session from a couple of weeks ago - hopefully we can organise something similar in Malaysia some time soon

TeamAU boys, deanzo, T_M, dinos22, youngpro, unclefester and bob(nz) got together a week ago and did some benching with lots of different hardware. 500L of LN2 was on tap in the basement.

Dino has put together a bunch of scores, photos and videos with us having some fun. Hope ya like it

Main Hardware setup:

• GIGABYTE X58A-OC (006 bios)
• GIGABYTE X58A-UD9 (GOOC bios)
• Intel Core i7 990X
• Corsair Dominator GTX2 Hypers
• Kingpin Gemini+F1EE & Harshal Astra
• GIGABYTE GTX580 reference for 4way
• Asus DirectCU2 (for singles and duals)
• GIGABYTE 5870 GPUs (multicard)
• Antec TP1200
• 2x Corsair AX1200
• Windows Vista 32bit/XP/7

3DMARK05: 57,705 (fastest dual card 05)

Deanzo, T_M, dinos22 & bob(nz) benching. We struggled a bit with the dual cards as we really just started learning how to clock these CU2s. We even backed off on CPU OC just in case but it turned out that one of the 580s had issues with high vmem speeds (ie 2400 or more lol) but the result was very satisfactory for us regardless as we cracked the record and got a nice GT3 as well :up:

This made it onto the livestream as well, listen to the scream after the score pops up :rofl:. In our defence it takes a while to actually learn how to get these GPUs going and to finally see it come off was a good reward. Would have been nice to pre-test GPUs before we get together but it wasn't possible. There is always next time

The GIGABYTE X58A-OC board and my chip were humming along all weekend at its 6.5GHz duties

3DMARK05: 56,972 (4th fastest single GPU)

We've also got a 57,040 score in pre-testing so there is more in this one. Hopefully bob(nz) can give his setup a big push soon as his card was promising (must have slipped through andre yangs binning fingers and made it into retail packaging hahah)

Maybe Andre can spot the odd one out (purchased retail from USA)
