8800GTX @ 60841 3d03 on DI , 3d01 @ 92490 , 3d05 @ 28132 , AM3 @ 280K

Spent about 2 or maybe 3 hours for that score and just noticed the "publish" button is greyed out .... :mad: Needless to say how it feels that all that work and time was for nothing :(
Had somebody experienced that problem , maybe theres a way to fix it ? Any tips will be highly apreciated :)

Thank you for looking :)

Yeah its 3.6.0 :yepp:

Now after looking and trying to figure out for a long time i see that processor model was not detected in System field (next to Tests > Settings > System) it just show the clock speed but no model :eek: :confused:

Will try to figure out how to fix that tommorow , hope card will clock good again :)

Small update , 3d03 still cant publish but all other 3dmarks are ok .
Did a quick test with a single 8800GTX , but it started to have condensation problems very quick so had to stop for now and let it dry :D

QX6850 @ 5.3GHz (but low fsb hurst score a lot :() , 8800GTX @ 891/2052/1188 under Mouse Pot Rev.4 @ DI , 1.65V for GPU and 2.20V for Mem

Seems that card can do 900/2100/1188 for 3d01 - will try next time . With 900/2100/1188 Nature score was just a few points below 1000 :eek:

Lookin' good Gorod, let's see if you can't get a get a few more K out of that '01.

Thanks :)
Yeah 01 is first priority for now :D Hope i can figure out how to stop condensation on PCI-E contact area , it's forms realy quick , only can bench for ~ 30 min and then it gets unstable . I got PCI-E slot all covered with Luberex , same thing with cards PCI-E contact area , the thing is that it gets covered with ice and then looses stability :( I am not very experienced with running VGA with subzero cooling , can someone help and suggest something to prevent ice forming on contact area ? Or its just the way it works with VGA - no long multi hour benches like with CPU ? :)


A few photos , you can a lot of ice forming around PCI-E contact are :( :

Gorod: Nice stuff. Hopefully I will have a go again at breaking 92k. ;) As for the slot I have a tendancy to fill the slot well but I use dielectric grease. Also make sure the holes on the top of the slot are covered. This might be the problem area. Lastly I pack paper towels all around the PCI-e slot to absorb any condensation that might drip off while benching. I have gone for a good two hours without issue using this method.

Ah ... thx a lot for valuable tip Harley :toast: I will try to insulate PCI-E and cover the small holes on the top and on the sides like you said next time i bench tommorow , hopefully it will fix the problem :)
And good luck with your 01 runs m8 , hope you get a good score :toast: :up:

Nice benching Gorod, great result congrats. :clap:

hey..Gorod for your problem with pci-e contact i'm ever too, i fix by use
Petroleum jelly in the slot and contact on the card ;)

Damn nice 01 & 03 Gorod :clap:

Maybe something like JC did would work for you, I gonna try a Kapton heater ;)

Thank you ZoLKoRn :toast:
But where to find that Petroleum jelly ? Got any pics of how it looks ? :)

Hey G H Z :wave:
Oh , very good idea , thx for finding that :toast: , i think that gasket around PCI-E slot is going to help :up: , will try it ASAP :D And + some other tips Harleybro suggested and i think it will fix the problem :)

congrats! good results)
Блин...чё ты сделал со своей видюхой :D если скоро появица 8800....попытаюсь побить...

Gorod I didn't get a chance to take photos last night but as for Petroleum jelly (vaseline ;) ) I think dielectric grease cleans up easier but costs more. One small tube is more then enough and think I picked it up at pep boys (any auto store should work).

In these links of older pics you will see the towels:

Just finished reinsulating area around PCI-E + made some neoprene gaskets so hopefully it will stop condensation problems for now . Going to gas station to get some more DI and will start benching that card soon :) Wish me better luck this time :D
Will post some photos later today if my insulation's any good of course :lol: and all goes well

It didnt went too well with 3dmark01 , fsb too low and biggest botleneck it seems :(

Oh well next time with high fsb C2D 6850 might be better will see :)

5460MHz for AM3 run , 455x12 and RAM - 569MHz @ 4-4-4-9 with Perf. Level = 5 . PCI-E only 125MHz (forgot to bump it a bit :))

Btw , it seems that insulation wasnt a problem last time , it realy looks like some sort of OVP protection kicking in , i might be wrong but looks like it .
What happens is that some benches can run with 1.65V and some can't .
Lets say AM3 , if 1.65V wont run any speeds over 800 and if 1.60 it can run ~ 865MHz . 3d03 can handle 1.65V and @ 890MHz :eek: :confused:
3d05 likes 1.60V @ ~ 865 , 3d01 can handle 1.65V and run some tests 890MHz (nature) but other subtests will fail (Lobby and CarLow) , Car Low was very picky in particular :mad:

V GPU for 01 run : 1.65V

Nature @ 890/1188
LL , LH , DL , DH , CH @ 865MHz / 1188
CL @ 837/1134 (Failed with 865/1188 one time so i lowered just to be safe because i was runing out of LN2 :( )

That 8800GTX is very strange when it comes to VGPU :) And even with 1.65V it will drop to 1.50V while loaded sometimes and mostly stays ~ 1.53-1.55 thats a huge Vdrop :eek:

Nice stuff Gorod impressive runs. :up: Real strange about the issue with CL. :confused:

harleybro thx :) I guess i am done with that GTX for now as she acts very weird with vgpu over 1.55~1.60V :( Maybe will have better luck with my Ultra i hope :)

wow very nice ! congrats :up:

Very nice Gorod :toast:

I have the same problems with my GTX, OVP is never in the same place depending on the bench your on.

Congratz for the great scores!!!:eek: :up:

VERY NICE........ :D :up:

Those scores are no joke. :eek: Awesome work Gorod! :clap:

Thank you very much everybody :toast: :)

Yeah very strange cards those GTX are :) , one bench can take almost 1.70V and another will fail 1.60V :eek: But good to know thats normal at least , almost started to worry about my card at one point :D

AM3 is very picky like that, you really need to dial in your voltage down to 3 decimal places to peak sometimes.
Mine always fails at the smoke/particle tests if too many volts.
