I just bought myself a new motherboard (ASUS P4S800D-X) and a couple of Corsair Dual Channel Gig sticks a couple of days ago.
Now that I have everything installed, I wanted to try and overclock my set up a little bit to see what kind of scores I could get in 3DMark05. When I opened up ATI Tool, I realized that my IDLE temp is at 82 degrees for my card.
Before I downloaded ATI Tool, I benched my card (ATI x850 PRO AGP(Unlocked to x850 XT PE)) with 3DMark05 to see what score I could get and my score ended up being 3989. This score seems pretty low for my card especially since my old set up was getting better results.
Do you think that since my TEMP is running so high that it is severely destroying my score? If so, do you guys recommend a cheap but good fan that I could purchase?
Here's my specs...
Intel P4 2.66 < -- problem of mine
ASUS P4S800D-X
ATI Radeon x850 PRO (unlocked)
2 gb Dual Channel Corsair
300 WATT PSU <-- Another problem of mine
