I'm not liking Vista, it's tougher to get stabler higher clocks
my CPU score dropped off going from XP to Vista
This isn't going to be as easy as I thought
I may have to switch to Vantage
Edit:This was a test run I'll give it a few more tries

Thats crazy results for the same hardware and just different OS...
200mhz more with Phenom should actually improve the score more than 250-300points i would think...

I had to beef up the cooling coil from the 1/8" fridge rad to 1/2" copper tube coil, that came out of a heat exchanger at work, to get a stable run at 3570 for 3DMark06
Temps went from 35c to 25c
It was good enough to get a SuperPi run at 3604 MHz

It's Crown Royal time

Grats man that just a great run go AMD/ATI woot!!!!
Message to AMDDeathstar --->:woot: Your prize ->:oscar:
me going --> :slobber::eek2::shock::dammit:
Man that is an awesome score. You are so close to breaking 20,000 with a phenom. That would be great. You have to go out and order another 4870....come on quadfire....woohooo!!! Good Job!!
Also there went my chance at taking back the top spot. I just got the #4 3780 in today, but I am waiting on my Corsair 1000w PSU to come in before I can overclock everything to the max and make a run. I am hoping for at least 18,500 though. We shall see.
Thank guys
No more vid cards
My plan for awhlie has been to replace the heatpipe coolers
I got the guys at work to cut a copper plate to cover the pwn's fully, now I just need to attach cooling to it
Then I have to figure out what I want to do with the NB and SB
If it wasn't for those damn heatpipes the NB block would've been replaced along time ago.
now that I can get past 3.55GHz without blue screening I want to see just how far I can go
:cord:
Show no mercy. Take no prisoners.
nice work man
Well I went ahead and ran some benches last night to see what my 4x 3870s could pull off. It seems that in 3DMark06 they are severely CPU limited. So I hope to at least break 18.5K once I get my new PSU to give me a little more stability when overclocked.

i just got a 4870 so of course i had to run it with my 4850 at least once before i get rid of the 4850...

Well I messed around with ACC last night and got a little higher score. Still need my new PSU to make everything stable and really overclock these cards though. I am now hoping to break 19,000.....we will see.

That was 1920-1200
Well going from 3366 to 3415 brought me about 400 extra points in 3DMark06. That is only 49MHz per core. That really tells me how CPU bound these four cards are. If I can get bench stable with another 50MHz per core I should hit 19,000. Maybe when it gets colder.
I went from Auto on ACC to +2,+2,+4,+4. I am going to test it soon to see what I get when I completely turn off ACC.
i need to get oof my a$$ and volt mod the other 4850...i am getting kicked down the latter again..:p: Nice job guys.. Just think by Dec. we might have a few break into 20,000
OMFG congrats on those scores :up:
