Oh yeah, I remembered what I wanted to ask now. About voltages, how much can I use? I think I tried like 1.48v gpu and 2.05v mem but as I said I still haven't removed stock cooling, even to look underneath it.

lol it's a 790i FTW DigitalPWMQuote:

If it's done well then they should run pretty well, and hopefully the cooling solution is well made *read braced underneath* as contact is everything with these parts.
well i am at 1.61v on stock cooling... 972mhz..... not a single problem SO FAR!! :p:Quote:

cant quite see your clocks... what are they?
lol... I didn't realize they were covered. 939/1030. I'm going to rerun that too, I want to try experimenting with drivers because my 01 still sucks :(
This is the cooling I put on last night...

And an 03 run I did playing around before I swapped out the q9650...
http://lakesidepc.com/038696504_1.jpg If I had better cooling I wouldn't even bother with the e8400 but I can't get this q9650 over 4.3ghz :shrug:
Will update the scores tomorrow. I've been a terrible host :( Keep on pushing it, 1GHz core is calling your name.
I'm definately going to be trying for 1ghz and above but I want to get at least one decent 01 score up before I start trying to kill the card :DQuote:

Would have done that as well but I got sidetracked working on my 8800GTS...
guys how do i mod the RAM to reduce the volts to try improve clocks
i'm back benching the card on air
What's the lowest yours will go Dinos? Mine are like 1.97v
you can mod the potential divider Dinos normally we vary the resistance between the divider setpoint and ground - if the vary the resistance between the divider setpoint and the memory voltage you can effectively decrease the voltage.
lowest atm is 2.15v :( hence why i want to reduce voltsQuote:

about 90% stable but doable heheheh......
don't joke I'm moving from LN2 to water - think the Qimonda chips don't like the cold as I can't clock anywhere near what I had under the chill :(
i dont think its the cold but voltage
it's :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing odd
ok so it seems 1.74v load is max i can give it
i am at 972/2106/848
lobbies are giving me issues with voltage
holy smokes
390FPS CH with 169.21 drivers eeek
damn you! I cant get higher than 1.71 volts or the card cuts out!
Time to put a fire under your ass with some bad ass results me thinks :D
Strange the lobbies are giving you issues as it was dragothic low and high for me
they can run higher but lobbies will cut out
i've tested 1.8v nature loaded
RAM is killing me
but i also must be messing up my LOD for Dragons
they are weak
well I was running 980 core 1100 memory on all except dragothic, which had to nosedive down to 920/1050. That put me a 69k but I'm certain if I can get dragothic to play ball I'll be smoking past 71k ;)
