revin - Gainward 7800GS+ GLH GS SE @ 695/1600 - 4642 -skt 478 P4 3.4EE@ 3742.4 - 220FSB

This is my latest ram, now using 4x512 OCZ 3200 ELPT Rev 2, PAT and GAT is working very well!!!!!!!!!!

Please note that yes the cpu score is very low, but look at the SM2 and SM3 scores.
Not too shabby for AGP IMHO
This is a very strange card as it is a G71, but has rare 1.2ns ram, and still only a 1.2v power card

When i tried with the cold system run's outside I was able to run 3.9Ghz, but it[3dm06] didnt get quite as good, but I did get the core to 695 for a new Fur score

sponsor money or card to play with ?

I would like to but wife would kill me if I where to spend more money

Hardware. They sent us 3 8800GT 1GB Super+ cards. I blew 2 of them up with voltmods gone wrong, and we still get to rma them.

Now, the downside is, you also end up spending money. Not because they say you have to, but in the quest for better scores, you end up spending money on cpus, boards and cooling goodies, just so you can keep up with the top scores. I dunno, maybe I'm just obsessive, but I constantly feel the need to score higher, thus the QX and more h2o stuff for gfx cards(which isn't installed yet).

But strangely, the woman bothers me less about spending money on my computer, because she knows this is a rare opportunity, that I want to take seriously, so she keeps letting me upgrade. lol I'm gonna put us in the poor house if I keep this up. lol. I'm already eying up DDR3 boards.

I never got word back on that, I did ask about it the other day.(sometimes you have to remind him he has 1000 things going on at all times). If you could make it on TS and play COD4 one night that could help maybe get the ball rolling faster

I did see this today over the Vmod

Was your friend not able to find the points?


A week in Egypt of that sounds bloody awesome!!! Wish I could go, be careful in these times of war over there, we don't need any we are holding Tatty_One for ransom threads LOL.

Neither of the PCB's in that thread match ours. I'm with Tatty on this. We need those mods. Could you imagine my scores on water if I had the mod. When I get my replacements, I may just try it with the 100k resistors anyway. The worst that could happen from too much resistance is that it doesn't boot due to lack of voltage. Un doing the mod would bring it back to normal. I plan to make the mod modular, so I can unplug the VR to put it to stock.

So was the 9650 worth the big bucks?

Every penny. If you can afford it, DO IT!!!!

I didn't want to say this but

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

other than growing a second edit or edit Angelina Pitt (Jolie) with the one I have, I can't think of anything I would trade it for. This Qx9650 simply makes my mouth drop. I just didn't say so before because I don't want to sell it and feel bad. I'm speechless really. Worth every single nickel.

So does that mean it's actually a keeper?!?!?!? lol

Anyway, if you want to tinker, instead of swapping cpus, why not get into more elaborate cooling to see what you can eek out of it. I'd like to see what they can do on Phase (which I'm pretty sure you can afford. lol)

Just got a new HD3850 512MB. The score is a nice increase over the 4.5k i used to get with my x1900gt.

For some reason cpu-z always shows my cpu at 1.6ghz. I can't figure out what it is. I've checked bios settings and there are no speedstep or any such setting that could be causing this.

You also have to disable C1E in the BIOS.

Is there anywhere in the UK/Europe I could RMA to for palit do you think, just in case I try this one when I get back from Egypt and she blows?

I don't think so. Dave is the head of RMA here in the US. Maybe he could email the EU rma dept?

Good idea, I'll drop him an e mail when I get back from Egypt, just in case the 2nd one goes pop! at least it will be more cost effective sending 2 back rather than one, in rip off britain it nearly costs the price of a Gfx card just to send something that weighs more than 2Lbs outside of the country

No C1E anywhere to be found in my bios settings.

Yeah I can get the stuff juat put it on a c-card lol but what do I get out of it cards ? and intel are coming out with the new cpus in Q4

You have lost your mind my systems is only worth about 1600.00 total I cannot afford a phase The only way I can buy stuff is because for several years I've made money selling on ebay offsetting the cost of items. It is a slow go but adds up. 10 to 50 bucks a item . I almost never pay for upgrades. This time I did but no where near retail.

Yeah, I probably have lost my mind, but I still say you should go phase. lol.

Yeah, we get to keep whatever cards we don't blow up. lol. Palit is supposed to be getting into the mobo market as well, so mobos may be on the horizon too.

 

[erocker]

I just got my free swag hookup, though it's not as good as you guys. I've really been slacking in this thread, though, health concerns have unglued my from my monitor lately. I'll be updating throughout the weekend.

Please stop by my FS/Trade thread.

 

[Creatre]

I can squeeze a lot more out of it, but that's the first run for me. Not too bad I think! Now if I can cool it down a bit more and get that OC up a bit more on both the CPU and GPU!

Under Construction

You will all notice the compilation looking funny from time to time over the next few days as I'm tweaking and updating it. Good benchinng everyone.

 

[erocker]

Ok, things have been tweaked, now on to the updating. I'm need a little break first as my eyes are burning from changing a bunch of 4's to 2's for the past hour.

looks nice but it hurts my eys trying to read it 8-|

 

[Murasame]

Ok I'm stupid. I found the c1e in bios and disabled it, but cpu-z still shows my cpu at 1.6ghz. Though now it some times shows my cpu at 2.14 when a program is opened for a second or two. Should EIST also be disabled?

what about speedstep ? have you disabled it ?

Man, you should try looking at the mess in edit mode! You are right, I guess I'll have to bump the size up one.

I bet it like but at least your still keeping it up to date

meh I jus bumped my resolution to 720P on my 20.1 now everything looks too big lol.

 

[erocker]

What do you guys think of me getting rid of the "Single card setups" and just list by make and series? Of course I wouln't get rid of the multi card setups. Updating with both the "Single cards" and by card type is just too much editing.
