Along with the 3D mark result? I've downclocked my CPU and X2 now to make my case a bit cooler. If you want them I'll have to clock them back up and take a screen shot a bit later some time.

sounds great! thanks

I fried my 3870 about 2 months ago trying to do a volt mod. And I have been waiting for my taxes, I have put them off for awhile, waiting for my gmom(she works at H&R Block). I just cannot wait any longer, this way when I get my RMA back from Taiwan Ill have two and be ready for my crossfire rig!

Im getting a new case now too, then when I get the taxes I want to get a maximus formula, or if the rampage formula is out then, then ill get it.

Dr. Spankenstein · Mar 9, 2008

Yessssssss!

It's like forbidden fruit! Once you've tasted of it, there can be no going back...

I'm excited for ya!

ThatGuy16 · Mar 9, 2008

That sounds great! Going crossfire is the best upgrade i have ever done, you'll enjoy it.

freaksavior · Mar 9, 2008

What drivers should i get for crossfire?

I heard 8.3 weren't good, is this true?

ThatGuy16 · Mar 9, 2008

I'm using 8.3, for me, they are the best drivers i have used. However, it took me about 4-5 restarts to get the drivers stable. I had games crashing and freezing, and thats why most people say they aren't good, but a few restarts fixed my issues.

freaksavior · Mar 9, 2008

i cant decide on some ram!! AHHH i bought the transcend but im effy about them, not real comfortable with them.

Care to elaborate as to WHY you think this might be? :confused:

ThatGuy16 · Mar 9, 2008

all i know is that a few restarts fixed my issues :confused:

At least from my experiance, some driver installs take a few restarts to get them "stable".

freaksavior · Mar 9, 2008

wow, ok..

i hope i don't suffer with my e4300 @ 3.3

I totally agree! I have a really nice laptop that has kept me sane - ASUS G2S - C2D 2.2Ghz 3 gigs ram and a 8600GT with a 17.1" 1920x1200 monitor. So its ok, but man, I had to stay away from here for a while because it was killin me to see this and not being able to do anything! But Im getting back caught up and ready to go for when I get my parts!

Anyone have any recommendations on what 3870 to go with, Im looking for maximum overclock and great ram chips(my GeCube could get 1413mhz with no mods).

And cooling doesnt matter, I have my full cover water block from my old card.

These are the ones Im looking at in order of what Im thinkin
HIS
Sapphire
Diamond
Powercolor

ThatGuy16 · Mar 9, 2008

I just bought the diamond card, it looks like this, it shipped with the .073 bios. I think they all do now though

I need to flash my sapphire card, its still using the locked bios. (I just need to get up the nerve to do it :laugh:

)

that diamond looks very similar to the GeCube, check it out

ThatGuy16 · Mar 9, 2008

Yeah, it does.

i think they discontinued the reference heatsink. (even though from my experience, with the fan on 50% it runs 10c cooler than the heatpipe one :wtf:

)

o i c, where did u get your diamond?? The diamond on newegg, the pic is still a refernce design

freaksavior · Mar 9, 2008

i have a diamond with the reference cooler, it sucked.

I replaced it with the vf-900 and i got a his on the way.

the diamonds don't oc much in xp, in vista i could bench 877 1377 stable (ati tool showed artifacts but not in benches)

man I wish my GeCube was still going, I was 891/1413 stable all day long! Gaming, and everything

I miss my old card, youll have to let me know how that HIS does, Im thinkin I might go with that card, Im cooling with water too, so Im not to worried about temps

Updated, my 3DM06 is up to 19507 now, I'm really surprised that I've been able to get my 3870X2 to 918 on both cores, for some reason I have to set it to 930 for it to register as 918. I'm gonna be going water cooling soon so I'll hopefully be able to crank it up more
