Just the opposite. I was flying through the graphics test at over 6ghz 1.72 vcore and down clocking when i got to the cpu test to 5.8 and passing no prob. But this card can't do 1200mhz in gt1 or gt2. Shit scores and fail session today. Aqua3 was total crap and by the time i got to ungine i was bsoding at boot up speed of 5750. Tore it down and drying out.

highest i passed vantage was 1.75v 5.5ghz :/

but i dont have rogconnect to up the clocks for 3d then lower it for cpu test

i can boot in w7 @6ghz but xp has to be 5.75ghz or it bsod even if its not cold enough it would in xp

but need to do new installls and mod the hd 4850

I feel your pain Splig ... my card was smokin through vantage @ 1250, but I only managed a 39385 ... good result, but not as good as it should be.

I made it to the end of gt2 twice at 1275 but its tripping shutdown.

Im convinced this xpower is crappy for 3d, my r3e would have been near 40k at those clocks.

Tpower i45/e8500 + Vaseline has totally kicked my ass. Ugh. Can't clock it like I wanna.....

You know it

Think I killed a stick of DDR2 pushing it. Kingston HyperX RIP.

CPU and Board are doing fine, just not clocking like I want it too. Gonna try the Commando/e8500/Ballistic's in a few days. We'll see what happens.

This is my first time overclocking DDR2 and I think I've made a grave mistake. 4-4-4-12 @ 2.5v may have been too much for the Kingstons, only lasted a for a few benches. I've learned my lesson although I know its gonna cost me. Need to get some better DDR2.
