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.

Kamil Grzbiecik and Yotomeczek working on BIOS settingsBenching rig consisted of:
AMD FX-8150 press sample
ASUS Crosshair V Formula bios 9911
GoodRAM PRO DDR3-2000 CL7
Enermax Revo85+ 850 W
cooled with KingpinCooling F1 Gemini slayer base

Yotomeczek was operating the RC TweakIT, Kamil Grzbiecik - validation key, G.Foyle - bios and LN2 pot.

We were able to reach 7926 MHz validation:


Core 3. (1st of module 2) was significantly better than other - no other would reach even 7500 MHz.
During max validation run cores 1 and 3 were enabled, and core 1 was set to x24 multi.

Of course we won't settle for anything less than the big 8 - another benching session with a new CPU is coming :)

Cheers and until next time!]]> General xml-rss2.php?itemid=105 Fri, 26 Aug 2011 20:42:59 +0200 xml-rss2.php?itemid=19 One of special X58 is X58A-OC - mobo for overclocking :)


So this is our first impression with Gigabyte X58A-OC...Gigabyte X58A-OC is a specyfic motherboard. It's for overclockers - nobody even tries to sell it to gamers. There is only equipment that you need for OC.

Big CPU power section (12 fases and max 600A) - very easy to isolate :)


This is what Overclockers like :)


More power from 2x 8Pin


Hmm ... absolute minimum


Solid cooling is always needed


We didn't like this much


A bit cheap looking

It's time to say a word about performance.
We compare Gigabyte in 32M Super Pi and it is not bad. This board needs to tweak memory settings manually. In semi auto (main timings) make Gigabyte X58A-OC not as fast as ASUS :)

ASUS did 32M in 11m11.035


Gigabyte did 32M in 11m12.018 (first we saw something like 11m13s+, but we changed settings performance to extreme and there was a small improvement)

Soon You will find full review on PCLab.pl ;)]]> General xml-rss2.php?itemid=19 Sat, 23 Apr 2011 10:39:32 +0200 xml-rss2.php?itemid=18
TeamPCLab.pl is best in Super Pi 32M in Poland
Our newest SB (8th or 9 th) is best we had so far. So we try some Super Pi runs.
We did two best scores in Poland:


Best Super Pi 16M in Poland 2m44.422



Best Super Pi 32M in Poland 5m58.532

Stay tuned - some upgrades are expected :)]]> General xml-rss2.php?itemid=18 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 16:14:50 +0200 xml-rss2.php?itemid=95 The card is still hot as it has been officially released just few days ago.

Read more to see more pics and features.Newest member of Lightning family looks much like a GTX 480 Lightning. PCB is a bit taller again, but component layout and cooling assembly look very similar.



There is no backplate, but front heat-plate is still present, stiffening the PCB.


MSI seems to be content with their extreme overclocking feature set, because it remains unchanged from GTX 480 Lightning: we have measuring points for three voltages (Vgpu, Vpll and Vddr), several microswitches allowing you to disable OCP or improve voltage ranges and a bigger switch acting as a BIOS selector (you can choose between 24/7 settings and special LN2 BIOS with cold-slow disabled and increased voltage adjustment ranges)



We know we said it a few times in the past, but results and naked PCB pics are coming later this week :) Stay tuned.

After a few hours of hard benching we beat ASD crew.
More details later, now only a few pictures :)

We were armed :)
