Kudos on first submission Frank. Can you please edit to mirror the example posts information. Your screen resolution for the screenshot makes viewing the information on your screenshot impossible.

. Your screen resolution for the screenshot makes viewing the information on your screenshot impossible.


Sorry man but 1920 x1200 is my screens native res...it's the best I can do for you, this is what I was talking about earlier. The only way I get a decently viewable pic size is if I use photobucket or image shack.

[punx223]

do i have to physically remove the second card, or can i just disable CF for the run?

[hellcamino]

Remove the card dillhole...you know that it will still use ram from the second card with cf disabled...

[punx223]

Remove the card dillhole...you know that it will still use ram from the second card with cf disabled...

would that really improve performance?

[Kal-EL]

If you run with a second card installed, I'll be forced to assume that you're using the second card. Why? Heres my logic, if you're benching for absolute performance, you wouldn't have that second card within the slot as it hampers performance. Not saying you'd personally cheat by running the second card in CF and then disabling for the screeny, just saying "Toss the second card" to preserve credibility.

Thank you :D

[hellcamino]

would that really improve performance?

Yes, I noticed it when I first got my X2's. Even with CF disabled I would get higher scores with two cards installed.

I got curious about this so I monitored temps both ways and discovered that the second card's cores would remain cold with cf disabled but the ram would heat up appreciably.

no prob dude just im actually benching this in my case not on a rack like you guys since i dont have one, and bench table had to be taken down, and i have taht stupid lian li fan above the cards, so single card run will have to wait till later, but my prelim dual card run is posted

[Kal-EL]

I don't want you guys wasting runs so please refer to the sample screenshot for whats required in the screeny's. The text doc must have the date of the benchrun. I will not relent on the rules so pay close attention.

sweet... ill go ahead and take the prize now, since knowone can seem to locate theyre pee pee and try and take me on in the multi gpu category..... hell i may just jump in and smash that category also :rofl:trophy:

[Neuromancer]

Not that it matters in my situation (no way single GPU is only pulling 500ish FPS in nature)

But how do you limit frames?? Is it a paid version feature?

you would i believe need to run each test individually and run taht test at a lower setting to make sure you dont get as high

EDIT: you would be suprised how much one card can do ;)

Frame limits are imposed by limiting the amount of overclock you have on your cards or cpu. :cool: If you're fortunate enough to get near this roof on the frames, ur doing great!

i hope you dont mind, im gonna go ahead and have KAL box up and post pics with my address on it, We will call it "A glimpse of the future"

:rofl when a 285 comes into play. Really it will boil down to who has the better gpu imho. I don't so I already know I won't win. Not to say I can't go pick up another gpu or two. :rolleyes: Be like a two for oner, right? Buy some gpu's to win a pot. I dunno if you can win every category. Seems like it would only be fair to be allowed to win one.

you can only win 1 category or prize even if you win both categories

cmon nip bring it on buddy, ive already got a nice single card score too, unfortunately im handicapped as i only have ati :eek:


EDIT: and im only running my cards none of my test cards, i do have a 8800gts of mine but it prolly wond do crap

Bummer. I only score 2000 more points with SLI enabled. Sometimes I hate these 260's. Got to get me some new GPU's soon as that is my area of weakness.

[punx223]

you would be suprised nip with some tweaking the difference it could make

[Jeffro64]

I so hate nVidia... GTX280's are pathetic junk.

Forgot to do the GPU drop down thing in GPUZ so going to rerun it later :)

Nice freaking scores so far though

Crushing mine by about 20% :O

edit:

LOL just had my PC restart during 06. For some reason I decided to check the fan fan controller and noticed all my fans were running at about 60% DOH!

Memo, when you stumble upon a situation that seems to good to be true, it probably is. That damaged, listing ship which appears defenseless and almost dead in space, probably is a trap. I just didn't know what to do with "little one" except have a some fun with it. Don't let it happen again.

What operating system you using?

On a side note, my rig is going to be down for three days due to me RMA'ing both sets of RAM I have today.

[RomDominance]

Bummer nips. In my experience os has mucho to do with results, also i7 is better at identical clocks to older formats due to greater throughput....go figure.:this:

[Jeffro64]

running vista 64 on qx9770 @ 4.2ghz, 3x gtx280's.

I'll post a screen when I get home.

Run it with XP and watch how much higher you score.

[punx223]

XP FTW ON THIS BENCH!!! even 7 doesnt do it justice

[Splave]

so you guys going to be upset when I take first place from you? ;)

I see some decent scores so far, and I know better than to think that what I see is the best scores from each

[Splave]

oh yeah and a single 4870x2 is considered multi gpu right? so If I disable a core is it single?

[DrNip]

XP FTW ON THIS BENCH!!! even 7 doesnt do it justice


Windows 7 I scored 20,000 points less than XP!!!

[punx223]

x2 is dual gpu... im sorry, just like soups said previous if you have the core they assume your using it

http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv261/jeffro64/QX9770%20Rig/3DM01_Test.jpg

be mindful of the cpu speed.... your at 4.27

[Jeffro64]

Oh yeah I know.... this isn't for the contest, I'm just trying to figure out why i'm scoring so low. The SS is just for comparison.

[DrNip]

Your Car Chase High Frames is only 100!!!! Lobby High only 300 somethin!!! i would start out uninstalling your GPU driver and reinstalling it. Then run it with one card and see what it does. Then take it out and run it with another and so on with the last card. Better yet you need to start a thread on this as you have somethin wacko goin on. See if we can't help you out here.

[Jeffro64]

Think it might be in my 3D settings? I have vsync dissabled but maybe some other settings? They are pretty much at default settings.

[DrNip]

I would uninstall the driver and reinstall the driver but don't jack with any of the Nvidia settings this time. Just roll with what it has, I think it is somethin like let the program decide or somethin like that. Run each card by itself and see if they all run about the same before you try sli or tri sli.

[Jeffro64]

Just did that yesterday when I dl'd the new driver.... only thing I changed was the vsync. Did all the uninstall and Driver Sweeper with fresh install. These cards just never have performed really well.

[DrNip]

Try runnin one at a time. Then try runnin sli and then tri sli. Process of elimination my friend. But 1st you must start at the bottom and work your way up to three cards. I just don't see the cards runnin that slow by thereself.

[Jeffro64]

Your probably right Nip.... That's what I really need to do to be sure one isn't going bad. I'll do that in a little while after I rest.... i'm beat from work. It was one of those days.

[DrNip]

100 here. I can only imagine it is about the same in Texas.

[Jeffro64]

About 120 at work.... I can't drink enough LOL.

[Splave]

x2 is dual gpu... im sorry, just like soups said previous if you have the core they assume your using it

fair enough, time to buy a 4890 that was just posted :eek:

[ReverendMaynard]

Well, I'm at the point where I have to down clock to meet the requirements lol.

Splave, want a 285? ;)

[Splave]

the good on or the shit one ;) rofl.

Im thinking Im going to off these x2's for 4 4890s after I get a good session on the SS with them. Time is tight lately.

As for the contest, sorry If I seem whorish. Cant pass up an f1 though ;)

[DrNip]

Thinking I am goin to pick up 2 of the HIS 4890's next week. Sorry if I make or made anyone spend any extra cash on these cards. I had to.

Just a little motivation for you guys. This was on 9.1 drivers I think and @ 4ghz flat.

[DrNip]

Yep that is the thing with 3D benches. They are too GPU influenced and it all comes down to who has the better GPU not the better overclock skill. Well it might come down to who has the better overclock skill if the setups were the same. A 285 against another 285 or somethin similar. Who knows, oh Nip here might have somethin up his sleeve or some jedi/ninja trick to unleash. Or maybe just a dancing pickle.:pickle:

[2chesapeakes]

From what I was seeing dual GPU only scores approximately 1k more than single with the limiyed CPU speeds. The i7 is definately not the board for this bench with limited clocks. I may have to get the RE set up and running with the QX9650. Might even brek out a 280 for single card action.

New score posted to help motivate you people. Now I want to see that 90k.

Just slipped a 82340 single in there with the supposed junky 280, lets see how long Rev lets it lie.....YodaRevMaster is patient,....sometimes.....:alien:

Hey Nippy...nice score man, killer 260 action and definitely hanging in with the 280/285's.

Couple tweaks and you got it!

[DrNip]

I have a feelin I am gettin to the upper roof on this puppy. Wish I had a pot as I would wipe this category clean or at least I would like to think. Goin to give her a few more runs. Just need to decide, 2 - 4890's or 1 - 285?

[ReverendMaynard]

Just go balls out on 2x 285's ;)

[Kal-EL]

Nip, gotta put the details tab with the fps listed homie. Sry to bear bad news, I know how frustrating it can be to pooch a screeny. Check ur post :(

[DrNip]

Boo LOD.

Why I will never run nVidia. After that LOD BS that happned a few years ago. Pulled it again recently with that bullshit CSAA, thinking eveeryone was on LCDs and would not notice the lack of color smaples psshaw

Cheaters suck

[DrNip]

Mine still has all the colors when I run it. Either way I ran a 81607 single run just to biff it on the screen shot too. On CPUz I didn't have one on the memory tab. Can't recreate it again either.

[ReverendMaynard]

Sli 285's turned out to be a disappointment. No increase at all, maybe even a deficit.

[DrNip]

I only get about a 2,000 point increase with sli enabled.

[ReverendMaynard]

I only get about a 2,000 point increase with sli enabled.

That's what I'd expect but something isn't just right.

[punx223]

i got about 4k pts between cf and single

[Neuromancer]

Yah I LOST 500 points whne I enabled CF.

Got it sorted though and gained about 6k IIRC.

Mine still has all the colors when I run it.

Yah I can tell with that 2k theme. heh heh

ugh do not want to go off topic so I will leave it like this...

Some day I will write the article.

[Jeffro64]

Well.... I installed my drive with XP and did a single card run of 76130 so I guess XP is the OS for this bench. Still have no idea what y'all are doing with the LOD tweeks LMAO!

It seems all 3 of my 280's are fine... so that's good news, just that much difference in XP and Vista I guess.

[RomDominance]

I am benchin, not tweakin, lol. :flaminmad:

[Jeffro64]

Seems so for me also cause I have no tweeks LOL. I'm thinking about installing XP on my new i7 rig now just to see if it makes a difference. I just hit right under 80000 in this rig but I was at 4278Mhz with a single 280 so that won't qualify.

[hellcamino]

Are you overclocking your card at all Jeff?

[punx223]

Seems so for me also cause I have no tweeks LOL. I'm thinking about installing XP on my new i7 rig now just to see if it makes a difference. I just hit right under 80000 in this rig but I was at 4278Mhz with a single 280 so that won't qualify.

lemme know ill help you get over 80k

maybe but it aint mine... plus im having issues with it right now... i dont think it likes my jiggabyte.... my boards been a lil funny lately, and i cant be without it right now, so im just kinda cruisin it :D

tahts why i was planning on replacing it with a 920 D0 and a msi eclipse i got a sweet deal on, but the board i got had fubarred pins

Ohh let me know.. I am not a jiggaByte fan at all

I see that name tossed about a lot lately in places it should not be, and thinking of trying out a ultra budget setup for straight wrecking purposes...

despite what has been done on my setup I really do not like this ASUS board and its the last in a line of ASUS boards I do not like, that perform well. *wow go figure. (Gotta hate the ones you love?)

I really liked Abit, but there quality sucked, they did everythign else right IMHO...

DFI, loves running a chipset till it bleeds. unfortunately the do not seem to sell a board no matter how expensive that can it cool enough.

Biostar... hated it. But gotta give it props. Gave a board that thought need a reflash. Left it sit for 6 months and bedamned if it did not fire right back up...

VIA.. sweet VIA. held my first "sweet rig" (currently running my 3rd, second happened 2 months ago. 35ns at 500MHz ddr. Sweet popping VIA chipset, with a cheap shit hipro 400W "dual rail" psu that I modded to be a single to get my clawhammer replacement to boot after that sweet winnie...

Like old girlfriends that are just so fond in memory...

DFI is great if you dont mind a shitty bios

Asus is great if you just wanna throw it away if it breaks...

Biostar well read dfi comment except not as good of history

Via... ahh the good ole days...

Gigabyte... solid boards..... not quite so good power circuits

EVGA well i work there so "theyre the best boards ever" Disclaimer: I in no way intend taht toward any board except the X58... especially not toward 780i :rofl:rofl

[Neuromancer]

Thanks man for that :)

Worried I was out there by myself.


EVGA has some sick quality mixed with aesthetics. I wanted to go nVidia for so long, just cause their cards are sick looking as hell. And their warranty program is unsurpassed.
(edit: but I am a DAAMIT guy)
Unfortunately of the green team members that made the jump, only XFX really banged it with the black PCB IIRC. (I mean on a budget board.. ASUS I think has cards at like +50% cost over value with black pcb). Now I am a ghetto bencher so looks do not matter for my perf rig... but I like to build sweet lookign rigs, hell look at that MSI 790FX board... pure sex on silicone. Performance wise? Actually Asus managed (by a small percentage) on that one (somehow) not by loosening PL values thats for sure.. those fuckers screwed me on 775).. followed by MSI (remember their 7900GT disaster?) and Gigabyte.. (remember anything by them? No? Me neither...). Last was DFI... but in their defense.. Wong went to Abit and made them a name... that also failed in the quality department.

DFI bios especially on some of the lan party series board made me wanna hang myself!!!

[Jeffro64]

Are you overclocking your card at all Jeff?

Yup.... I might be able to squeeze a little more out of it though, but not much.


lemme know ill help you get over 80k

Kewl.... lets do it!

[DrNip]

The DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 actually has a better BIOS than the Classy I think. Better RAM options too. The only thing wrong with it is the 21 mult issue with Windows 7.

[Splave]

4890 will be here today ;) wonder what it will do attached to SS

You probably ought to ask the guy who destroys my runs and dominates my old gtx's,....he will know more. In all seriousness Kal, I would be more than happy to pm you and let ya know what I have learned recently.....

[punx223]

i actually had a run single card where i raised the core 5 mhz and went from 80k to 71k :rofl

im guessing the card may have gotten warm :eek:

I have a good 50 under my belt since the contest start date. Have to admit having fun with it.

I was installing XP last night and jacked up my Vista raid 0 setup in the process will have to rebuild that I guess. :argh:

Seems like you guys have been at it for a while, I'll have to do a lot of catching up if I want to end up like this guy :trophy: or maybe like this guy :confused2:

Ran 3dmark01 in Vista, which I had never done before and could not beleive the score. :rofl

[Jeffro64]

Yeah.... 3DM01 does not play well with Vista as I found out.

[DrNip]

Or dual GPU's. It loves single GPU XP runs though.

[ReverendMaynard]

20 k loss at least with Vista.

[2chesapeakes]

Thanks just posted a better one.

[RomDominance]

The Empire's formal response.... This screen is not a 295 run,....we refuse to reveal our hole card at this time.

[DrNip]

I'm confused 2peakes. One of your runs you say 295 sli but you must have meant 295 single because that is what gpuz shows, the other you say 295 sli but must have meant 280 sli because that is what gpuz shows.

[2chesapeakes]

The Empire's formal response.... This screen is not a 295 run,....we refuse to reveal our hole card at this time.

Screen shot fixed. Play your hand.

[Kal-EL]

Freindly reminder to competitors......

1) Keep the contest thread clean and use this thread for any and all tossing of steaming, flaming, or otherwise running piles of flung poo. Its easier for me to run thru the scores :D
2) Proper submissions should comply with the rules as stated. Please be careful when taking screenshots and remember that even single card submissions must have the gpu-z drop down gpu count showing in the screenshot.
3) Orb links should have detail or comment regarding this event. You can create this by editing details on the 3d01 benchmark itself prior to hitting "Bench"
4) Top spot holders will be held to the letter of the rules. Place holders with submissions in question by other place holders will be scrutinized as well.


That is all and thank you for participating so earnestly and playing this tune so well together. :band1:
PM me if there are any discrepencies that cannot be resolved here. Honor and Integrity prevails...........

SUPES! :cool:

[MaadDaawg]

Whoa dudes.. just got back to town and read up a little on whats' doing down here... would Love to have those prizes attached to my rig :trophy: Looks like I'm gonna have to get busy and get down to biz.... :)

[DrNip]

Buckeye you have to ditch the 7 setup as it was holding me back 20k than when I did a run on XP.

[Buckeye]

Yeah I think so. Saddly I was not able to get SLI to work either. Gonna have to switch to Win XP which I hate :(

[RomDominance]

makes a huge difference thou uncle buck....just pop open a brewski, and the install will be done two beers later!

[limpkorn]

Sheesh I don't know how you guys are breaking 80K I can't seem to get past 78K GJ whaterver your doing. I'm not quitting yet, but I've already ran probably 50 runs just in one afternoon.

[Jeffro64]

Sheesh.... We gotta do 85-90K now just to compete! You guy's are wicked LOL!

[Chuchnit]

This is a very tough competition. I'm having a really hard time playing with ATI cards in this one.

[Jeffro64]

I guess I won't even try with mine then as it seems to be a nVidia bench all the way. So close but yet soooooo far for me LOL!

[Jeffro64]

I just noticed EVGA got the GeForce GTX 295 CO-OP Hydro Copper back instock and went up on the price to $709.99!:confused3:

[punx223]

i guess i won't even try with mine then as it seems to be a nvidia bench all the way. So close but yet soooooo far for me lol!

bench!!!! Bench till the gpus will take no more..... Then push them harder

I just noticed EVGA got the GeForce GTX 295 CO-OP Hydro Copper back instock and went up on the price to $709.99!:confused3:

yup ;)

[Chuchnit]

I guess I won't even try with mine then as it seems to be a nVidia bench all the way. So close but yet soooooo far for me LOL!

Not true. K|np|n's last comp had an ATI winner. You just got to work harder for it ;)

Plus Jeff, this competition isn't all about winning. It's about learning the bench, what order to run the test, etc. The grand scheme is to help you overall as a finesse clocker rather than run and gun. Keep your head up, and bench harder than you ever have :D

[Jeffro64]

Oh I hear ya guy's... I'm trying but I guess there are just some tricks and tweeks out there that I don't know about, but i'll keep grinding.

[RomDominance]

Heres a tip for my new freinds over at OCA. Your first run after booting will be your fastest, after running the bench, adjust your tweaks (precision, ect..), reboot and try again. :alien:

[Chuchnit]

Jeff I should be in bed instead of benching right now. :p Lemme add you to my msn and I'll talk you through a little 01. Even if that means you beat me. Lemme get to 5ghz uncore first though.

[Chuchnit]

Heres a tip for my new freinds over at OCA. Your first run after booting will be your fastest, after running the bench, reset your tweaks (precision, ect..), reboot and try again. :alien:

Very good tip Rom. Very true and wise words you speak.

[Chuchnit]

Ok nvidiots :p I'm catching up. Watcha got in your pocket ;)

[Kal-EL]

At the conclusion of this competition, What do you guys think about:

Scheduling a date/time for a bunch of us to get together in the oca vent to discuss tips/tricks/tweaks etc. regarding 01 and this competition?????????????

[Jeffro64]

Sounds like a plan.

[punx223]

sounds good to me... looke like my replacement card wont be here till after contest end, so im stricktly chasing the single card, i just got back from transformers :cool: and the benching will ensue soon!!

[ReverendMaynard]

less shit talking more benching.

[limpkorn]

Hmmm, nice tips I'll have to give them a go!

Thanks fellas!

[DrNip]

Yep I noticed this.

[Kal-EL]

A quick test run a few days ago with WIN 7, no tweaks/drivers:

http://www.overclockaholics.com/Kal/TEMP/win7_x86_3D01_CPU_4100mhz_62920marks.PNG

[Chuchnit]

Nice Kal! Now pump that fsb to 600, multi x7, 333 strap, PL8, ram @ 7-6-5-15 1T and overclock that card!!

[2chesapeakes]

600 fsb on Xp is the stuff that will win this. God I wish my 8600 was not in RMA

[punx223]

Sorry guys gotta get some stuff to the post, and figure out why my board will not play nice above 460 fsb, and im gonna go all in... make it or break it

[Vivi]

sorry to say punx but those boards hardly do 500 >_<.

they struggle

[2chesapeakes]

Sorry guys gotta get some stuff to the post, and figure out why my board will not play nice above 460 fsb, and im gonna go all in... make it or break it

Thx bro, not too interested in increased traffic, more along the lines of rewarding the community for contributions here and for being an enthusiast. The competition hasnt been heavily marketed and won't be. :cool1:

Supes- :D

[punx223]

ive actually had this board well into the 550-600fsb area but for some reason shes not playing nice recently

[Kal-EL]

Well, I guess the cat's outa the bag on the contest gents. Pucker up and take it longways. :smackbum:

[DrNip]

I guess you can say that. I seen the thread over at Xtreme! :D

[punx223]

well guys, I dunno but i may have really hurt this card as under graphical load she starts to act wonky... but im just half a step from the top spot. so i put her to bed for the night and tomorrow i will see if shes got any more in her....

If so, then you better watch out as I plan on takin this, for the red team... for the win :trophy:

[DrNip]

I still think I might need a gpu pot in the end and my funds are tapped for a bit now. Still goin to give it hell though. Hopefully my 4890's don't let me down!

[punx223]

I still think I might need a gpu pot in the end and my funds are tapped for a bit now. Still goin to give it hell though. Hopefully my 4890's don't let me down!

good luck nip.... your gonna need it :p


btw you see my new single card score?

[DrNip]

Yeppers. The highest i have been able to achieve with my 260 is 81,805 and that is with a mult of 19, bclk of 221, lod tweaks as well as volt tuner. Think I am about tapped.

[limpkorn]

I've been able to bring it up to about 82,900 with dual cards, but I'm having trouble now. Seems kind of tough to get past 85k now lol, but I'm having fun on these runs learning a couple things about 3dmark01 while I'm at it.

[DrNip]

Your still an animal 2peakes!!! :dancinwolf:

[thebanik]

Nice forum it seems, but dont see much talk about the competition....i only see kids baiting each other here, :p (add me to the list too)

[Splave]

NIP, think you are going to be dissapointed with the 4890s single card wise atleast. Im at 221x19 d3d LOD etc etc and all I can pull is 79k with card at 1033/1000 :) just a better bench for the green team

dude you need 775 for this bench I7 is of little use.... hell im barely behing reverend maynad by a lil over 100pts with a 4870 at 860 core

[DrNip]

Muh I might get disappointed with the contest and them but I won't be disappointed in HWBot points I get from them which is really more what I got them for. :D

LOL Nah man no need to apologize I'm the idiot that's asking in the wrong place just seeing the HD4890 coming in to conversation makes me think about 3 of them and the performance since I can't find anything on the web with this data I'm kind of frustrating.

That's why I can't wait until nip get's his sapphires going. The scaling after two HD4870's was horrible and I'm hoping that it's different for the HD4890's. :argh:

whats wrong with your 4870's? a specific bench or what?

[MaadDaawg]

I'll be back from a biz trip on Wednesday. I've already copied a pic that just about takes multi gpu, but I got a long way to go before I run out of options :confused5: Always wanted a dice/ln2 setup:D

[limpkorn]

whats wrong with your 4870's? a specific bench or what?

I don't own any HD4870's the last ATI cards I owned were a pair of HD3870's well I still have one I gave the other one to my brother. My statement comes from looking at reviews over and over two HD4870's scale rather well adding a third or a single HD4870X2 and adding another HD4870 the scaling is hardly worth the effort.

Nvidia cards starting with the 8800GTX's started getting somewhat good when scaling three cards and the 200 series cards are doing rather well in TRI-SLI when partnered with core i7 processors, but I haven't seen good results on the ATI side of things. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would love to be wrong as I would like to get three HD4890's since they're so well priced ATM.

[Splave]

dude you need 775 for this bench I7 is of little use.... hell im barely behing reverend maynad by a lil over 100pts with a 4870 at 860 core

I am aware ;) will fix that soon

[Chuchnit]

Man if I wasn't so lazy :p I need to get the REX back out to play this game....

[DrNip]

You need to send that Rex back over to me as I didn't get or have time to play with it. :rolleyes:

[Chuchnit]

I'll gladly send it to you buddy. If I knew I had the time coming up to strap the pots on the vga's I would tell you to piss off, but I don't so you can have at it. E8400 installed too ;)

There is one stipulation.... You gotta beat the piss out of it. She's only seen 1.84 vnb :D

WHOA!!!!! wtf you need 1.84 vnb for?

[Kal-EL]

Breakfast in bed?

[Chuchnit]

WHOA!!!!! wtf you need 1.84 vnb for?

LMFAO. It was my last session. I had a bad mount on the pot and was fighting stability. Plus I was trying to run on the 266 strap with PL8 going for 5700mhz. Needless to say, I got better stabilty with lower vnb in the end. It was the bad mount that was killing me.

I think Goddy benches somewhere around that vnb though :confused3: But that is over 6600mhz :cool1:

[punx223]

you can do 600 fsb+ on approx 1.67-1.74

but it prolly is a lil different board to board.... not to mention the ref voltages help you lower the actual voltage itself

[Kal-EL]

(writes in notepad..........) :D

[punx223]

(writes in notepad..........) :D

for you it require 2.25 vnb :p oh yeah and 1.99 VTT :rofl:flaminmad:

gawd that nature is depressing on Nehalem :(

i'll do some testing with my 4870 since and dual on nehalem but after doing some preliminary testing it looks impossible to hit nature cap unless you have monster core speed on them even on bloody Wolfdale. Would have been nices to have slighly lower nature cap for ATI runners :p
