17500??? 8800gt sli??? I have 9800gtx in sli and that's the same score I got ... let's see same MB, same pocessor (basically), same version of windows, both have 1066 memory...
What am I doing wrong? By my account I should have a better score than you and yet we are the same... :banghead:
I was asking more of do I really need to find the lowest stable voltage or can I just leave it at 1.3250. I know it's stable at that voltage. I just don't want to test any longer. Temps are fine even at 100% usage. After 22 hours the highest it ever got was 61 (I think the AS5 was still setting...
Do I really need to find the lowest stable voltage or can I just leave it where it is. My E8500 @ 3.8ghz is 22 hours and counting prime95 blend stable at 1.325v in bios. Do I really need to turn the voltage down and run it for another 24 hours. I know it's not 1.300v in bios stable as it had an...
I have same MB and but different memory. Your memory is listed at 2.0 and 2.1 voltage I would bump it up to 2.10. I would also turn your FSB back down to 1.10 I hate how the auto setting ramps it up so much. A high VTT will kill these chips fast. Why do you think anything over 1.2 is in the red...
Update Time
Ok so I got everything together and threw an old copy of XP home on there to run 3dmark06.
The results are in.......... 15718!!!
This was on stock clocks so once I push that E8500 up a bit I think I can get pretty close to 20,000. Either way it's almost double the stock score...
It's funny because, I was just coming back to tell you guys what I got, and that is the board I chose. Since I don't feel I will use Tri-SLI and it has the pci-e above video cards for a sound card.
Anyways here is what I ordered this morning.
New Case
Motherboard
Processor
Memory...
I like the ASUS because it leaves 1 pci-e 1x open in tri sli for sound card so I don't have to use onboard crap. It also comes with a sound card instead of buit in to MB. The OCZ ram is nice (the second one) but has same timings as what I already listed. Is it better??
