OK I finally established a base line for my 295's at high speeds. I made a few volt adjustments and seemed to have nailed it. One of the main adjustments was my VTT from 1.5v'ish to only 1.4v. I am thinking that might have been one of my biggest problems and will have to go back on all my 2D benches with lower VTT to see if I can run them higher. These 4 benches were ran straight thru back to back unlike my usual run a bench and restart my system to run the next which prolly hurt my score some. I think I have a lil more headroom on my GPU's and some more on my CPU. I have noticed these single pcb 295's don't clock as high as there double pcb counterparts. But some how they score about the same. That was one of my problems all along was I was trying to clock way too high on them. Any-hoo enough of the small chit chat and here is what I came up with that put me over 400 points.

One thing I just started to do is include my Eleet utility with the volts tab showing as well a memset so I know what I ran that bench at instead of the usual page after page of notebooks I use to write them down in. Genius I tell ya.

my heart jumped a little when i saw the first line

maybe time to edit it hahahahah

nice OCing mate

HA I just noticed that. Sub 6, lol. I wish. Its been corrected.

I use my old screenys too for a record of what settings I ran on stuff. We need to buckle down and put together a printable settings template instead of making notes in a notebook, lol. Print 50 pages and fill in the blanks for scientific oc.

Nice going there....awesome stuff with the 920....

Nip that 920 was screaming through vantage. Did it pass the CPU test at the same speed in the screenie?

Nice stuff here man!! Glad this session went better than the last one. The single PCB 295 clocks lower probably because one PCB w/ 2 gpus gets hotter, as do all the other components. What were your loaded temps like?

I find when I start losing MHz in clocks and cant run at same speeds anymore, its usually condensation. I call it quits and tear things down and figure out if theres any water. If not then back to benching

Yep. Its got more in it too.

Congrats Nip looks like a very productive OCing session.
Did you hit any type of wall at 4800Mhz. I seem to be stuck at the 4800 Mhz with both the 965EE and 975EE and on both mobo's the R2E and the Classy.

Nope. My initial wall was 238 BCLK, roughly 5ghz. A few tweaks and I blew past it. Now my wall is around 245ish BCLK. I dunno how I hit 249 BCLK that one time but I did. I need to go back and try highest BCLK with my lower VTT trick.

You could just have two BCLK unfriendly chips there. What multiplier you trying to use and at what BCLK? I read that certain multipliers don't play nice. You can also post what settings you are using here or start a thread on it. Here are the settings I am interested in seeing that you are trying to use.
