First of all thanks to all you guys who helped me the other day with my heatsink/fan issues for my 1900XTX and Accelero X2. I'm not worthy... D_O_S, Markkleb, Zekrahminator, Wevvspot, WTF8269, Xdaxxchampxx and Steevo.
Now try this on...this is weird. I get the fan all 100%ed up and running just great. Idle temp is around 45C at max it never gets above 62C. Hours of Doom3, Chaos Theory, and HL2...same results. But what is extremely odd is that now my 3D Mark05 score is almost 1000 points less than what it was before I turned up the fan, and nearly 1800 points off of what it was when I let the ATI Catalyst software do the overclocking for me. (currently it is not overclocked at all--.25 beta of ATI Tools doesn't seem to quite like my card yet...s'ok...it's plenty fast enough for me as it is). But all I have done to the card is soup up the fan speed...that's all. No other changes, not even the Catalyst OC. Just stock right off the shelf settings and the 100% on the Accelero X2 fan that's it. I can't figure out what happened to those 1000 pts.
Does this make any sense at all?? Is it possible that the card LIKES to be in the 80 or 90C range? I thought the cooler the better??
