I know it's been done to death already but I'm happy. :banana:

Pictures of my dual loop system are here...

(one loop for CPU, one for nb, sb, gpu)

but basically it's just an...
-AMD XP2500+ running 210x11.5(2426MHz)
-Sapphire 9500np - softmod'd running 448MHz(core)/320MHz(memory)

Sorry but I just have to do this again...

I love the southbridge waterblock, I always wanted to do that to my 8RDA's, but I don't have a second NB block, but it looks cool.

congrats ;)

I was screaming mad for a week with a air cooled R9700 pro, scoreing 19,900 for like a week straight, before I finally did it, so I definatly know how hard it can be.

AND with a R9500NP, double kudos there :)

Does that Nature looked bugged? I noticed it's like 10pts higher than a run I have ~20300. :confused: Is it just possible to have a great run or does that mean it's buggy?

I'll have to check what BIOS it was tonight after work for you. And I only run Vdd at 1.95v for that run. I eventually plan on running it higher since I should be able to top out a bit higher than 210.

Like I said... I'll check when I get home for the BIOS revision...

heheh it is a bit too high, but can u reproduce it everytime ?

Jeff

No. I've had one run around 146(which was probably slightly bugged) but the rest are between 140-142. :( Oh well... I'll just have to work that much harder to get those 120pts back. ;)

So nature is very dependent on GPU core/mem speed? I already knew I had to work on my mem speed but that just makes it a bit more important then. I want 21k!!! ;)

Just un-published that score. :( So here's my best so far now...

Jeff, what memory chips have you hove on the Raddy? I had 3.6ns Hynix on my 9500np running at 355mhz without a volt mod;)

All thanks to a bios flash.

Jeff
07-17-2003, 07:22 PM
3.3ns Infineons. Is there a BIOS optimized for these out there? I know when I had my 9500Pro I flashed to a bios optimized for the 3.3ns Infineons and I took them to 378MHz w/ volt mod.

I'd love to get even close to that with this card. :D

Just tried my XP2100@~2.63GHz and it performs right around the Barton 2500@2.43GHz. I used the exact same settings, card, FSB, etc... only changed the CPU and multiplier.

Kind of a bummer that it takes 200MHz more to equal the Barton... I thought I'd get 50-100pts higher. :rolleyes: Oh well... just have to get a Barton that doesn't crap out as soon as it hits above 18c. ;)
