Hey guys, here is my most recent run. As you can see, I improved my results from my last run slightly. I also took a lot of video of the setup and of how I do my sessions. This is to give you an idea of what it is like to benchmark on dry ice.

The Video(Watch In HD):



The Results:

32m SuperPi Personal Best - 13m 15.140s


This was my 32m run. I cut 15 seconds on my previous result from my last dry ice run.

1m SuperPi Personal Best - 12.797s


For my 1m run I also cut off time from my previous run. Although it was only around 50ms, it took a lot of work just to achieve a faster time.

6 Core Overclock - 5.439GHz - Validation



Was not stable enough to get a screenie. I tried but no luck.

Single Core Overclock - 5.568GHz - Not Valid


I could not get a screenshot or a valid for this one. It was giving me trouble. Next time however, I will nail this number down and surpass it with a new pot to play with.

im interested to see others doing their dice runs for when I decide to buy a better pot
Thanks man.

Still waiting for it. I just uploaded it so it may take another hour or so.

Nah I didn't really do much this run. Basically was seeing what my limits really were.

I'm saving the benchmark suite for my runs with a different pot...that will cool much much MUCH better then this one.

Unfortunately, the X6's score similar to i7 processors with 4C/8T. Because of this, the globals won't really be there for an X6 as they'll be pretty far behind 980X's with regards to time.

With that said, those are some great dice submissions. Are you considering LN2 at some point?

I understand that AMD is the underdog when it comes to speed, but I love playing with their chips all the same.

I have been dying to do LN2. However, in my city it would run me $105.11 for just 5L of nitrogen. It would cost me $600 + per session not including the rent/cost of the dewar.

I need to travel elsewhere to further my benching experience.

PS. Video is done processing

I absolutely agree. I was just saying that if you're doing it for the globals... I wouldn't do it! If you're doing it for fun, do it all


How much have you investigated the LN2 thing? Did you try multiple shops? LN2 is very common for welding and there is NO way they pay that much. With some searching, you should be able to find prices similar to $1US/Liter.

The place I was considering getting it from was $1 a day for the dewar rental and $1/L. However, I would have to fill the dewar the whole way (180L). I don't have $180 + tax to be throwing around!

Yeah I guess I just have a soft spot for AMD


I have investigated it. As it stands, the welding supply company in my city has a monopoly and dominates the dry ice, and ln2 market. Thats the cheapest I can get it for here. I should almost just drive to the states for a day just to bench.

lol... Come to St. Louis and we can have a benching party!

I just watched the video, by the way... awesome production!

I usually buy pellets of dry ice now. Before that, I smashed it and put in in a thermos and poured it like you would LN2. I found it to be easier because I didn't have to hold the dice!

I have a pair of magic mittens I wear just for handling dice, works great actually


@slappa just watched the video, very nice overall and if you do end up upgrading your pot try to remember me because I would love to replace my homemade one eventually

Hahah, once I get LN2 in my hands....beware of some extreme AMD OCing

These are the smallest pellets I can get here. Ah well, it doesnt take much to crush em up.

Bare hands FTW

Thanks man! It is actually my friends pot, and I am getting an upgrade, but the upgrade won't be permanent either. Will be borrowing some excellent pots from my friends over at ln2cooling.com

I suppose I'll have to start figuring out my options and start putting a side $ cause its been too long since I benched

anyways you'll have some competition soon enough


I got burnt pretty bad during this session, but I took it like a man


Competition eh? I'm all for it.

heheh do eet! In the last few hours I got to play with it I got 4.6, but I am sure you can push it past that since you have more sub-zero clocking experience than I did.

I am pretty sure spec validated that chip @ 4.7 on air lol.

Sounds like an excellent chip

Sick results Slappa, can't wait to do my first DICE run


Whats the name of the song/artist in the video? I'm into techy house/trance/minimal but that was a good song


Edit: Turns out my buddy knew the artist...and I am quite ashamed I have not heard that song/knew it was Josh Gabriel! You sir, have good taste! G&D when they were together is my top DJ producer, and Josh does some amazing work now too.
