Please use TPU's image hosting because I'm sick of the popups. Also post a a resolution I can read. Thanks.

hi heres mine

How am I supposed to know what video cards you are using.

Post failed.

Never install video drivers over the old ones. What I do is go into the control panel and uninstall there. Don't restart, then go and delete the ATi "support" folder on you system drive (if that's where it's saved). Then, Start ->Run ->type: regedit. Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE look in the folders named "Software" and delete any ATi folders there. Then restart. Install new drivers.

I just updated to the new drivers,

I uninstalled all the drivers with the auto uninstall in the add/remove
Then I restarted with no graphics drivers
downloaded and installed 8.4, restarted, perfect!

I ran my 24/7 clocks in a run, and Im pretty excited!

Do you really need that many volts for your processor? Seems a bit high!

freaksavior · Apr 17, 2008

how do i edit the fan speed? i got rbe and so far i understand it but the fan speed idk

no, Im down to 1.552 right now and its staying stable. I was just getting pissed, I couldnt figure out if it was voltage or just the max of the proc. So when I went back down to 3.8 I ran 1.65 just to start. Im down to 1.552, and as long as it stays stable tonight, Ill try to go down more.

DaMulta · Apr 17, 2008

Before I do this, when you turn off intel cores does that mean less heat?

Is the chip still getting all the voltage that it was getting?

erocker · Apr 17, 2008

I should be at 20K in a few days, I only got this quad a few hours ago.

Set the Hysterisis% to 0, Tmin C to 10, Tmax at 100 is fine, and Duty Cycle min% to 100. that's for 100% fan.

changed my hardware around - GT is quieter, thus its in the media PC. GTX gets the higher res screen, too.

Sig system (not mini rig)

Its somewhat funny to see my GT and GTX match speeds, considering the physical differences (GT is passive cooled, shorter, cooler, less power, only needs one PCI-E connector... takes less room)

I love advancements in technology! :toast:

Bios for Sneekypete! I hope this works well for you. Check out the fan settings in RBE to make sure they look ok.

It's less heat under load. The chip still gets the voltage, but the disabled cores do zero work, thus produce no extra heat under load.

dude that's an amazing Q66 if you getting 3.8 even '06 stable at that voltage...what's your BIOS vcore?

nflesher87 · Apr 17, 2008

kick up the ram clock and try cas5, I bet it'll increase your score

Thanks ... but my P35 chipset doesn't allow me slowing RAM ratio ( 1:1 is my slowest ratio ).
Faster ratio bring my RAM speed to almost 1100 MHz. I doubt my RAM could run stable at this frequency :shadedshu
I wanted to try 900/920 mem clock or faster ( @ 5/5/5/15 ) but i'm FSB locked by my standard P35 MoBo ( 445 max ) :cry:

But i think it's not too bad for a 8800 GS

yes and Yes, I have done it many times, go down to one core and see her fly!!! I got 4.5gig out of an E6850 on just the one core

DaMulta · Apr 17, 2008

So if it's still getting voltage can you fry a core easier if it's not working?

Hey Erocker....the voltages set in RBE are from stock on up correct.

I sorta have a delemma that my card defaults core voltage @ 1.40V, So I guess I should set that as well!?!

In the bios with lineload callibratoin on, I set the vcore four settings above 1.464. I think just one bump down from 1.5v and the NB is set at 1.51.

1.4V? Hmmm. I haven't seen that before! So with your stock bios that's what it reads? Can you upload it? My cards are at 1.3v and I'm starting to find out I can't OC them too much over what I have them flashed @ 850/1190.

sneekypeet · Apr 17, 2008

View attachment RV670.zip

stock bios shows 1.327V, but when Powerplay kicks in my DMM reads 1.4V to the core. I took this info to w1zzard and he was unsure why it worked that way.

Fitseries3 · Apr 17, 2008

willl the 64bix version of 3dm06 run any better or have any performance difference?

InnocentCriminal · Apr 17, 2008

Interesting question there, hmmm... might be worth putting to the test. I would have thought it'd give you a better mark but I don't know how they've written the code.

AphexDreamer · Apr 17, 2008

This unbelievable. I have flashed my X2 correctly both Cores working at 880/1000 and I get the same score in 3DMark06 as I did with it using Stock Speeds!!!!!!!!!!!! :banghead:

WHAT IS GOING ON!
