It's fixed but I think you could sustain DICE on the NB without overcooling the PWM. Is the PWM in contact with the HS or beside it? Must go look at board.Quote:

Simon, I have 2 HTPC's already :p: That will be easy. can't wait to get cracking.
So build one for your car :cool:
That my friend, is a fabulous idea.:up: I could put it in the van and have extenders on all the mini TV's so all the kids can watch :D.Quote:

Read one post ahead of yours :clap:Quote:

charged: u have new mobo?:)
If I misunderstood your game plan Simon you and others disregard this post?
Ok Simon if you want me to decide on the final test set to be used below is how I plan to do?
I do believe that the IGP should be tested along with the new chipset in order to showcase the new features.
I know each of us have posted a list of the tests we would like to use so now I ask each of the other five testers to submit just one test out of their own list. I plan to include one of my tests into the final set of test so at least three other tests will be included. I think four (five max) different tests should be enough to keep us busy. Let me know if you want four or five total tests?
I would expect everyone to post stock scores for each of the test as a baseline and then everyone could overclock as they wish and post results as they test. I think different cooling solutions will be employed which should make the results varied and interesting.
I hope I didn’t blow the word count again!:rolleyes:
thanks titan, i was hoping to keep the mosfet cooler on w/ the nb off, but no go. it looks to have been superglued/soldered to the mosfet heatsink.
chew's 3DMark2006 is 3200+. ill try to give it a go, if i can get 3Dmark2006 to run on an IGP. i've always had problems (3D wont even start). hopefully i figure out whats wrong(with the user that is.):ROTF:

Edit: It is fine once I have the 5850 installed. Something is wrong with the HD4290. Anyone seen this before?

Kinda simple but did you check to make sure the hs is making decent contact?? maybe some thermal paste/pad wasnt applied during assembly?Quote:

anyone been messing with theirs yet? whenever i change the sideport memory to anything above default 1333mhz it show up as 600mhz in cpuz graphics tab (wrong) and 800mhz in gpuz (wrong)... when i leave it at default 1333mhz it shows as 667mhz in cpuz graphics tab (correct speed) and still shows the wrong 800mhz in gpuz tab :shrug: anyone know anything about this? i need to test it some more but i think it still may be raising the sideport mem speed even though its not showing any changes
