Can't seem to get AM3 to run on Win7 Ultimate 64bit RC - AM3 crashes immediately with error popup prompting to close app ?

Great scores mate,

I wish my X2 would OC like that, stuck at 830/930 on water :(
What is up with the Vcore BTW? I know it's not 1,13V for 4,5Ghz :D

1.136v idle and 1.376v load :D

My HIS HD4870x2 does 860mhz GPU out of the box, but Gigabyte HD4870x2 stuck around 840mhz GPU out of the box. I use Rivatuner softmod for voltage to get weaker HD4870x2 to 862mhz in vantage and all benchies excep 3dmark06 - for some reason GT2 freezes if Gigabyte HD4870x2 uses >847mhz even with up to 1.4v GPU volts applied!!!

Yeah I tried the voltage softmod, doesn't net me even 1mhz higher clocks :(
By the way, the card won't accept voltages above 1,35V (someone measured the amps only rising up to the 1,35V setting) so don't bother using higher ;)

Nice scores Eva. AM3 wont run on any X64 OS afaik. Win 7 & Vista 32b work but score wil be very low (~215k with i7 @ 4,2ghz and 3x4890 here :()

Not bad eva, but I know you can do better. I am a flunky as an overclocker and my i920 d0 with 3 card setup of a 4870x2 + a 4890 gets too close and this is with out bios flashing. 792 on x2 and 970 on the 4890

Cpu under water, VGA under air.

Your a world class overclocker, get that cpu power higher.

And maybe bench on vista 32, as my cpu score shouldn't be that much higher.
