Check on the previous page lol. My 3D Mark scores and OCing...

 

[Solaris17]

nice breaking the 13K mark!!!! if you OC your proc more to like 3ghz i bet you will get an even crazyier score.

anybody want a cooler for a G80? i have an AC accelero extreme 8800 up for sale it is the best aircooler for G80 based cards!

 

[wolf]

just thought i would add i also have a 9600GT in the midst now. great cheap card.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

I want in also, can I be your first member with a 9800 GX2? My GPUZ ID is dwgy

My e8400 proc and 750i FTW motherboard are ordered and being delivered wednesday. Once I get them installed and running, I'm gonna be looking to OC my system. Wanna help? Let me in your little cult.

Oooh nice!

Oooh nice!

does that mean I get in?

Everyone who has a 9/8 series GPU is eligible to join! So yeah you're in. I wouldnt be able to use a 9800GX2 even if I had the money thanks to my case...

So ditch the case. They're overrated anyway. lol. I would sacrifice lokos for performance any day.*







*Which is probably why my computer is set up on a table top. lol.

Ditching the case is a good idea imho... but doesnt that void mfgr warranty though? EVGA... but I have no idea. Good thing about the 9800 is that leaving it on a desk or something with stuff on it wont damage it.

You'll need to OC that E8400 like a bitch to get the most out of it if one 8800GT is bottlenecked by a E6300@444x6 FSB. (Dont ask).

OFF TOPIC: Gah need to get a new mobo, stupid P31 chipset holding me back soooo badly. WileE what do you think, my board can do 480FSB with awful timings, then when I set the RAM at 5-5-5-15, 3-3-3-36-3-3-AUTO the mobo doesn't even do 333FSB................. (Note RAM runs around DDR1066). I did NOT see this coming getting the board. Explains why some reviews have super shitty O'Cing boards with the high end kits they like to chuck on. Well I wouldn't really have a problem though if I got a new CPU something like a E6750 would be fine I suppose, but then I'd have to watch out for Vdroop if I tried around 3.5Ghz+ (Wait four phase is safe right?), then again I'm not aiming for those crazy clocks, but just good mem perf @ decent CPU clocks...

EDIT: Please cut that massive gap out of your message.... or I'll get someone else to do it

Neither P31 nor P35 are known to be great ram clockers. The first thing I would try is setting the ram to 1:1, and see if you get any more headroom. If not, maybe look into a cheaper P35 board, like a DS3 or Blood Iron. 4Phase will do fine on a dual core, especially considering you aren't the type to try pushing 1.65V thru your cpus.

And I took out the gap. lol

P31 has a cut down memory controller so it cant take as much memory bandwidth as the P35... therefore, if I grab a P35 the problem would be non-existent. Its not like I'm trying to push the RAM at DDR1200 @ 4-4-4-12 (well P35 can handle that anyway)...

Nah I dont want to go with a blood iron nor a DS3 anything else? I was thinking about the P5K-E WiFi, or the EP35 DS3P, I'm leaning on the P5K-E with the favourable reviews (and SATA layout) as well as the overclocking but the rest of the board lets me down... The EP35 DS3P is more consistent with its features I reckon, with better audio, and Gigabit (MARVELL YUKON FTL ON P5K).

Actually one more factor which makes the P5K-E WiFI look even better is the fact that I'll be able to install the Ultra 120 eXtreme without any difficulties, in the correct orientation. I'd lap it though .

Then again i will never need two GPUs. Isn't there a single slot X38 board that OCs well?

 

[Wile E]

Some P35 boards won't do 1200Mhz on the ram. It's hit or miss. What about the Abit IP35 boards?

Good idea, never had a look at the Abit camp. I do like their blue-black boards! They look nice, but don't have any idea of how they perform.

Abit hard to get too (pun intended). Same story with DFI. P35 seems to be a hit or miss chipset to me, after reading several P35 reviews, some boards doing insane FSB overclocks (550 O_O), some boards doing poorly.

Hmm... P5K-E or

On topic: I've bolted a 120mm fan on my 8800GT. Brought down temps like 3*C... its just there to cool the RAM down, not necessarily the S1. I honestly need to get new fans that have more airflow but are quieter. The fan on my 8800 is silent though

I can't close the side panel on my case because of my CPU HS/fan(gigabyte pro cooler 2) and the gx2(the power wires stick out too far). My case is open 24/7, oh well, better air flow

I already plan on OC'ing it to the 4 gig range

O_O Is this what you have? ZOMG COOLERMASTER WENT BACKWARDS! Thats one helluva awesome case. Not many cases look like that these days except lian li... I'd recommend a new case for such a setup.

Update

well scratch the 9600GT, had it for the w/e then took it back, it had a noise reminiscent of the 8800GT high pitch buzz, except way worse and sporadic.

so with a little more cash outta pocket im now using a 9800GTX

stock run on 06 with the Q6600 @ 3.4ghz yeilded 14,902 (screenie to back it up)

800/2000/2400 + 3.4ghz yeidled 16,072 (screenie to back it up)

however not all games like the core running that fast, so so far my 100% stable clocks are 777/1944/2400 and 3.4ghz, which yeilds just a smidge under 16k (over 15,950 i just cant remember the exact number and didn't take a screenie)

i think its just the shaders at 2ghz that it doesnt like, so later on expect some 3.6ghz and 800+ core mhz benchmarking action.

P5K is an excellent bet, I had the Black pearl Premium......540FSb and my memory ran at 1320mhz.

 

[Widjaja]

Went and replaced my 8800GT , this time the high pitch noise is not there and it keeps quite cool too compared even compared to the last one.
So I'm happy for now.
processor, RAM and motherboard coming sometime this year.

Anyway.
Does anyone here watch maxishine on youtube?
9800GX2 Quad SLi Crysis 1920x1200.

I don't think this guy upgrades for gaming but for the benchmark score.

Have to laugh at the comments, many of them obviously posted out of jealousy.
I say good on him, just change the horrible South African/Aussie blended accent.

that's the case. It doesn't look quite as good as the pic, mine is alittle beat up(it's a hand me down from a friend). I've been looking to upgrade it, but I don't like the idea of a case having doors over the CD drives, power button, audio hook-ups and so on that has to be opened everytime I want to power up or change the CD/dvd that's in the drive. Anyone know a case that has good air flow, is atleast 9 inches wide, and has no doors/panels that cover the CD/DVD drives?

 

[wolf]

can you believe i shoehorned the 9800GTX into an Antec Aria (NSK 1380)?

alot of the case is custom anyway, itll be in the gallery soon.

EDIT: its in the gallery now! http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/1492.html
