Then i switch to WaterCool :D [watercool setup , eheim1250 , NeXXos xtreme240 , cpu block silverprop Cyclone , Vga block Asetek Dyo ]

I cover the smd's around the core to protect it from contacts with waterblock

So Far Clocks with water artifact free @ no Lod or tweaks :D

Still Searching 4 the core&mem limits

why did u cover the smd so it won't touch the water block ???

and very nice results

To avoid the Card destroying :fact: ?

Thnx . I will run later higher freqs and some tweaks . :)

maybe i am not that smart but i can't figure out how it can destory the card

about the 7900GS, are u still able to get higher freq !!!!!!!!!

yea pretty sweet. With my X1800GTO oc'd and unlocked at 16p 700/700 and my e6400 at 3.2GHz I score 11230 in 3dmark05 but only 5400 in 3dmark06. I wonder if the extra video ram bandwidth is what pushes you 1000 points above me in 06

SaFrOuT@ Τhe distance between smd' and waterblock is very low , and the waterblock is a bit small so i taped around the core to avoid the block contact with the smd's [on a simple block mevement eg ]

@chron I dont know if mem's do the job only couse those two card's [x1800xl-7900gs] are totaly different core-pcb ect ect. [btw the 7900gs rams are hynix 1.4ns]

when u where at

Next step @ setting randomly 535-700

did you suffer from heat problems at that frequancy? and how hot did it get with the stock cooler?

nice man!!!
mine still using stock cooling at 610/800 24/7

Nice overclock!
To my surprise a 7300GT SLi setup is on par /slighlty faster than a 7900GS.
At least for benchmarking. Might be different with games, especially those that arent SLi optimised.

whow.. thats some crazy clocks man. no voltmod? you beat my 05 score by 1000 points. a great deal is thanks to that allendale but still.. impressive

Hmm, not convinced.

My DX9 GT4 in 03 was 189fps with highly overclocked 7300GT but top score with 7900GS was 207fps with stock as far as I can tell. True the total score is about the same but we're running volt mods and bench specific values. 5 quads should beat 2 quads after all ....

I didnt look at specific numbers.
With untouched cards I got 15x fps in Aquamark at 3500Mhz.
3D Marks are better with the 7900GS, considering he is using a Allendale.
But I am quite impressed by the 7300GT setup, I thought the gap would be much bigger.
Keep in mind that he is watercooling his card. With the stock cooler scores are lower than what I got running at stock coolers. But again, its Allendale vs. Conroe, so it aint comparable.

Nonetheless the 7900Gs is a damn nice bang for the buck card and 2 of those cards are really,really fast for their money.

ataky@ I tested with stock cool , ~30minutes :D No heat problem at all.

guess2098 @ Thnx :D Maybe we can married eatch other card 2 run some sli :p

higgins@ No volt mod as i said , next step is some tweaks-pencil mods :D

thanx, 7900gs ordered :banana:
club3d, lets see what we can get out of that, no money for buying a vf900 yet :slapass:

good work

Single 7900GS

Conroe E6700 - LOD +3 - no mod's.

I have also score with single moded card : >61k :D

Can you post detail picture of back side PCB, place about R508-511,
its place in 7900GT which can mod by conductive link,
what I little see this 7900GS have same

Bad quality foto - sory

This is mod for 1.4V. With my card mod to more V ( 1.5, 1.55, 1.7V ) is not working.

Vmem mod --> 7900GT pencil trick
