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

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

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

yo doooods
another challenge i see

didnt it end nvidia all round last time in vince's thread
maybe nature caps should be lowered for ppl running ATI cards hahahah :D

Ahhh there goes the neighborhood :p

Welcome bro

am i like a trouble maker type or something :D

i'm planning benching ATI
something i havent finished in vinces thread but nature caps are killing my scores against nvidia :p
ATI is shyte in nature hehe

good luck... i killed both of my 4870's with this damned bench

outch
were you on subzero? condensation???

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

No im a nut.... i was on air at 890 core lol

1.84v nB is nothing man ;)

remember its X48

one of the best contest I have seen in a long time. Might have to put my 4890 under water, which shouldnt be too hard, especially since the blocks have been sitting here for two months.

However with 01, experience seems to be everything, so noobs are still in for a beating.

i7 has no place in an 01 contest.

Hey ches, can you post the hardware you used? http://www.overclockaholics.com/foru...7&postcount=38

Unless you pad and pin modded that 975 and Classy, it's not a 9650 lol. And is this "super secret" ram ES?

Good catch Rev, thx, 2peakes in my office NOW! :rofl j/k please edit the post for correct info, thx, supes

No ES ram for me just working with what I have at the moment. The post has been updated with the correct specs. Thank for the catch would suck to be disqqualified on a technicality.

We're starting to get a nice battle going here peakes.

Just dropped a decent run :)

Really nice comp guys.Will try soon.Dual + single....
It's possible right?

I finally broke 80K on a single card!!!! Hoping to catch up with you guy's at the top!

Sweet. Way to go jeffro!

That was without any tweaks except CPU/GPU OC'ing... Now i'll see if I can apply some of the other tweaks that have been shared.


BTW.... In my bios my CPU is set to 4000Mhz, but because of Turbo it shows 4200Mhz in CPUz. On the ORB it show only 4000Mhz... So can I take it to 4200Mhz in the bios as long as it shows just that on the ORB or do I have to go by CPUz?

So essentially, you're asking if you can run it at 4.4ghz?

No lol.

I see that and unfortunately I am away for the week and will not have much time this upcaoming weekend with the holiday. I do have an E8600 inbound for the REX. We'll see if it scores better than the QX9650.

shit man, that blows. I have a few days vacation this week so I'll be hitting it hard until your return :)

Can somenone bench for both categories?

I thinkso! But I do not think it would be fair for them to win both.?

you can bench for both categories, but can only win 1





JEFFRO.... just turn off turbo mode

xmmmm.OK guys,thanks for the immediate response.Of i go to bench

DOOOOOOO ITTTTTTTT morpheus

hey crio looking forward to seeing some damage from you heheh
cool2lol nice try hehehehe

i wouldnt encourage ppl going for me without subzero man
it seems that newer boards arent as good as older ones in terms of FSB etc so better to baby them a bit i reckon

even though i have run 1.78v NB but on water hahahah

I'm at 81K with a single card, but my real battle is breaking 84K with dual cards and hopefully more. You guys keep saying that core i7 shouldn't even be in this, but I'm not giving up yet.

good attitude bro, don't let all this neh-sayers say Neh:poopinghorse:. Flog it! :deadhorse:

core i7 kicks ass in this
but it sucks at nature which is the only 3D intense test in there

thats the trouble mate :(

if the nature caps were lower we would be on i7 for sure heh

Since 3dmark 06 seems better geared for single cards, wouldn't it be better if the single card category also had a gpu pot. It doesn't mean vince has to donate another pot, just maybe take one of the pots from prize 1 and give it to prize 2.

Don't forget guys, it was an i7 920 that won the single core class in the comp Vince ran.

No to both, Not what I was asking.... I was more or less asking which one are we going by the ORB, CPUz... or both combined because of turbo mode. The reason I asked is because i'm not sure if i'm actually running at 4.2 just because CPUz says I am, because it says 4.0 in the bios. Still learning all this stuff... still a Noob.:D

punx.... Thanks for just answering the question.thumbsup

Thanks supes! thumbsup

This contest is becoming a lot of fun! I can't beleive I'm enjoying it this much. Nice to learn a thing or two as well.

I'm right there with ya bro... i7 is my choice to. I would use both but my 775 board don't want to work any better. Maybe i'll give it another shot but for now i'm on my i7 rig.

I'm really glad to hear that limpkorn, really Hi

looks good
i might not be able to play as i dont have nvidia cards handy but good luck
if i find something i'll join in
