Before: After: 980 mm worth of cooling here. Chiller (sub zero ambient)

Definitely single core for a laptop, since most of the time you will only be using a couple cores max, so in all likelyhood you would never tap into the full potential of a better multi core CPU, so it's not even a trade off.

Update on Z840 rig: 2x Intel Xeon E5 2696 v4 processors, 3.7GHz boost, 44C/88T 64GB DDR4 2400Mhz RAM, octal channel effective painted desk, lol

I thought you were going to ask about the pike. That's just a thin layer of insulation. It's my shop, and in the wintertime it gets very cold here. To save on heat, I wrap the window at the end of each fall season and that helps a bit.

Adding another Z series workstation to the stable. This is a Z840 and provides a bit more muscle than the Z820s can. Upgrading to 40C/80T next month with two Broadwell E5 Xeons 2698 v4 processors.

One of only a handful of PCs liquid cooled from the factory. Both are HP z820s and I also have a z840 with liquid cooling as well. 1st Z820 - 2x Xeon E5 2673 v2 processors, 16C/32T, 4GHz turbo, MSI Gaming X RX 580, 64GB 8 channel memory 2nd Z820 - 2x Xeon E5 2696 v2 processors, 24C/48T, 3.1GHz...

So now we are even, good we can be friends again.

No you can do as many systems as you like.

Instead of this pesky bench racing of yours, perhaps you should put your money where your mouth is and start a little CPUz benchmark competition of your own, with rules being no overclocking or tweaking and be proven capable of a 12 Hour Prfime 95 test. 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, 99% of extreme overlockers...

Don't be rude. If you want to leave you are more then welcome to do so. I would hardly call a score of 684 for a 9th gen chip poser territory. If it passes the benchmark, you have crossed the finish line. Get it now?

Well then there is more meat on the bone. But if you are comfortable with lower placings, more power to you.

No. You are welcome to post your own benchmark thread and do exactly that. You obviously have no concept of true overclocking. Your logic is equivalent to saying a top fuel dragster can never break when it goes down the dragstrip - that it should always go down the strip without mechanical...

But yeah, this score is going to be really hard to beat for 8/9/10th gen chips IMO.

Not at all! lol Then again probably everyone submitting scores here is not running windows stable. Because if you want to go fast you will always have to trade reliability for performance.

This was the best I could do with this chip, almost caught one of you guys, lol

I will get the leaderboard updated tomorrow sorry for the delay...

I color coded the results to make comparisons a little bit easier. Blue is obviously intel and red is AMD.

I just like competition and wanted to post this number as a challenge to anyone with the processors listed above. I don't know how well this is going to hold up but I thought it might make for some interesting competition. Benchmark CPUz single core ONLY Yes, this is all about single core...

I've been going around to some of the overclocking forums as of late and running the CPUz benchmark competition. It's not entirely ideal as a testing platform, but it will give us a rough indication of system performance. Plus you can compete against other members / generations of CPUs. Also...

Yeah power to weight ratio on this machine is pretty good. Can OC to 5.8GHz + during cold weather benching.

The hyperlink is broken, I think.

I just collect systems and really love the z820 in it's design. But they are all fully functional and do serve various purposes. Most have been re-purposed from workstations to desktop units, one is for gaming, another one for benchmarking.

Has to be something you built with your own two hands, preferably something unique, not just a random PC on the internet that you like. I know this is subjective, but I'm still very interested to see what you guys will bring to the table. Other than that, post some images of your best liquid...

Very impressive.

lol sry one thing you will learn about me is I tend to take things too literal. But very cool rig you have there. Is that LED/light bar integral with the case or did you buy it separately? These are for a GP-GPU project that I've been putting off for a w hile now.... GPUs are too expensive ATM...

Yeah I wouldn't recommend it. Granted I had pretty good sub zero cooling (ambient, upstate NY) at the time t's still not healthy on a regular basis. I only had it at that speed for a few minutes. Enough to get a couple test results and some validations.

Oh yes I freely admit that. I should have said this OC is for validations only. The system is most definitely not stable it's right at the limit. When you start approaching the limits of the chip you eventually have to trade reliability for performance, just the nature of the beast. It was fun...

Yes, that must be it! I think Im really going to blow everyone else away with decades old systems that are still running DDR3. It's a thread about dually rigs, merely posting details of my build some people might find it interesting without getting into the "mine is better than yours"...

A little of topic but I notice you have MSI dragon Power installed. That allows overclocking in windows, right? The only thing I didn't see on the list was ref clock overclocking, is that possible from windows as well? Reason I say that is because I have a MSI MEG z390 ACE and have msi dragon...

Yes, they are essentially tiny AIOs. Everything is built as compact as possible making them very efficient. They (individually) perform on par with a decent 240mm AIO. I've highlighted the collar here with arrows so you can see how it is constructed. They are both loaded with memory (the...

Yeah it's a pretty wild concept. But despite the small size they are very efficient, and the pump is built right into the base of the radiator, so it's a very compact design as well. And they are actually mandatory for the 150 watt 2687W v2, Intel's highest TDP processor from the entire 2600 v2...

Two HP z820s. Dual duallys! :) First one has two E5 2696 v2 processors and 8 channel 1866Mhz Second one has two E5 2673 v2 processors and 8 channel 1600MHz

Really annoying problem in windows 10 when using microsoft edge. You take the scroll wheel down a bit and its very easy to lose track of the slider itself. Is there a way to make it darker?

I might have you do the same to my 9600KF. I've been throwing caution to the wind because at the start of next month I will be upgrading to a 9900K/KS/KF. So perhaps I will take it on a suicide run before I swap CPUs out with a delid and lapped die, although I have heard the 9th gen chips are...

Yeah I forgot to mention that, good point. I had to go to China to get both of the 2673 v2 chips, they are much harder to find than the retail equivalent. Since the 2673 processor was OEM only, they are few and far between on the market here in the united states. True, the w does have a...

This build started life with a 120mm air cooler made by MSI, the Core Frozr XL, which has two 120mm fans in push/pull configuration. I was able to get 5.0Ghz out of the chip, but it was noisy under sustained heavy load so I wanted to switch gears here and move to a custom loop, partly for...
