Recommended Posts

Today afternoon, the Serbian Xtreme Team (animaN, BigJoe, CAR, Shiki and Spacemaster - administrator) with our guests: bojsa, d0minat0r and Northwood has broke the WR in 3D Mark 05 and 06 in HD 3870 CF class. We used the next setup:

ASUS MAXIMUS EXTREME (sponsored by ASUS)

2x ATi AMD HD 3870 (sponsored by AMD) @ 823/1260

Cooler Master Real Power PRO 1250W (sponsored by Cooler Master)

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 (sponsored by INTEL) @ 4895.5 MHz (LN2 -125?C)[bOCZ Platinum DDR3 1800>[/b]> (sponsored by EuroLink Belgrade)

setup pictures and video clips are on the SXT forum, so check them out ;)

feel free to ask anything that you may be interested in, I'll be glad to answer you...

I'll keep you updated with our next session! soon, very soon :D

penryn is comin'!

@Cephas: look at maximus extreme board, X38 chipset with 2* x16 lanes (CrossLinX) instead of x16/x4 on P35...

having (2) x16 lanes is good and all, but that's not what is shattering the WRs... it's the extremely heavy overclocking.

yup, you're right ;)

and tweaking the OS is also essential...

currently, we're waiting for new Penryns to come in Serbia and when we get them, it'll be party :D...

Woah! I didn't think even QX6850s could reach near 5GHz speeds. I can only imagine how hot the CPU would get running all four cores at that speed (but can also imagine how fast things would be too!!).

Well if you read it you'd be imagining how cold the cores are. -125 degrees

nice work dude. should keep an eye for liquid helium next time maybe :p

also isn't these new yorkfields able to hit 5GHz on just HSF no LN2 ?

ashame can't see what you could do with core 2 quad/extreme and CrossfireX 4 x 3870's lol

Anyone think it would be possible for me to get my E6850 at 4GHZ?

Possible since i have my E6600 at 3.5Ghz, i can't go further because of voltages.

Proper cooling and correct hardware, etc.. can do wonders.

yes, Yorkies have extreme OC potential and Wolfdales too ;) (can't speak about that cause NDA is still active :), but you can see all over the net how well they preform)...

wait, maybe we could do some CFX testing in future :D

@Garnett: really, there was no important tweaks at all :( but it will be next time :D

@mtber: you could push it to 4GHz with higher voltage and better cooling, but do you really need to go that high!? 3.5/3.6/3.8 is just fine...

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.
    • I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
