Thanks bro...I will copy your stuff and run with it...for sure...

I can see now I want a classy...Going to be like learning all over again but that's half the fun...which one will work the best on H20....I can get the asus stuff at discount so i might as well spend on a classy...Now to decide what gpu's to run with it.....

Ran 3D03 with 2 of the 5870's..Just 2000 under my score with 2 4870x2 tops..Still no GPU tweaks...I must get better!!!!!!

lakeside2189 · #13 11-24-2009

Tryed 1 5870 with 3D05..Kinda weak..But still just 500 points less than my 4870x2....This is still with stock 5870..Can you tell nothing embarrasses me????

On a side note..I am truly colored blind..all Black white and grays..Something is different...It is brighter..and i can't find the forum index...Kinda strange a guy that is colored blind that likes 3D colored graphics??? I can tell when they are good even with the Black and White..Must have something to do with Kal's top statement...

Okay enough of the stock clock bugga boo. Start OCing

lakeside2189 · #15 11-25-2009

OK!!!! 3D05
Raised the core and memory to 925/1255...The voltage tweak doesn't seem to do much..Maybe it's me!!!
I did also raise the CPU OC to 4.650..A big Thanks to 69_Goat for giving me some pointers on how to get more out of the P6T7..You were spot on...Never had it to 4.650 before...
Really wish I had talked to you before sending 2 of these to Canada...

Your welcome, LS. Glad to help out where I can.
If you go over to i4memory.com, EVA2000 is posting lots of info for OC'ing a w3570 on an ASUS P6T6 board, a very similar setup to what you have. He also posts lots of info for mem tweaking including all the sub timings.
For this 5870, you might want to try the new MSI Afterburner app. I've heard of good results with it, not only for these cards, but past gen cards as well.

Thanks..I will look at the MSI program..I am a member of I4 and once on there BOTS team..EVA knows his ram..But don't sell yourself short..You showed me a couple of things that really made a difference...I printed your thoughts and they work!!!

I really like this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 rep for 69_Goat

Way to help out buddy. Great job!!

Lakeside, those are some nice scores your pumping out

How hot is that CPU running at 1.5+vcore? Might need to put that one under sub-zero. Might have a leaky one there

Neuromancer · #19 11-25-2009

heh heh He has a GTX it can handle the heat

lakeside2189 · #20 11-25-2009

Thanks bro, Neuro is right..The GTX is totally for the cpu and seems to handle it..3.9 or 4.0 24/7.. 30 ish or low 60's with full LinX...
The 343b also helps..All the sides come off when benching...Goat really came up with some things I needed to know...Great site..There is still a few that will help a newb out.....
