Hello!
The Bulldozers are finally here and despite all shortcomings you can still have lots of fun with them. We put a press sample of FX-8150 under LN2 to try maximum validation speed. Two guests joined us for a benching party: Kamil Grzbiecik and XtremeAddict.

Thanks to XA and XtremeSystems team for motivation!
You can read more about the hardware used for this in one of the previous posts.

Xtreme Addict beat us in Aquamark pretty fast, but nothing a quick bench session wouldn't fix:

Read more about our benching in the previous post.

We couldn't stand Xtreme Addict having polish high score in Aquamark, so we pried a second HD5870 from the cold fingers of a bitcoin miner and started OCing.

The setup:
Core i7-990X @ 6415 MHz Kingpincooling F1 Gemini -150 °C (RETAIL)
2x HIS Radeon HD 5870 @ 1060/1260 MHz air cooled (one with HR-03, one with ASUS DirectCU II cooler)
ASUS Rampage III Black Edition (RETAIL)
GoodRAM PRO DDR3-2000 @ 1002 MHz 6-7-6-20
Silverstone Strider 1500W

Thanks to our friends at ASUS we got to lay our hands on their newest top-end motherboard, the Rampage III Black Edition. Make no mistake, this is not just a heatsink redesign. PCB is built from the ground up, similar to Rampage III Extreme, but improved in several aspects.

In past two weeks we've been busy with Sandy Bridge platform. Mostly it was testing new CPUs, trying to find a sample that will run at more than 5600 MHz. So far we haven't had much luck, but even our old 5400 MHz-capable chip is quite useful. Since Core i7-2600K is a good platform for 3D benching, we dug out an old ASUS GeForce GTX 465 - the same one we used at ON/OFF trade show last year. The card showed promise then, running very high clocks without any mods.
