You're at a voltage limit .. more volts to get higher on GPU or better cooling (won't help as much as more volts will)

Yeap, more volts on the GPU should be your next step. With stock cooler and two fans around the cards this is about max for me atm with 1.56v:

To get higher I need more voltage. Temps is ok i above test.
eva2000: I might try to catch you the upcomming week. ;)
Can I do it in the bios settings ? P5k-deluxe.
Dang you eva! I beat you in 3d03 at first, but now your 3k ahead. Looks like its time to get a lil more out of these cards and cpu!
wait till I jump in the fray with my 2x3850's (short test on dice had em at 1015/1030) and my 8600 on LN2 :yepp: (about 2 weeks away)
Yeah, but you've got 256's. :P
hehe.. never ending race for the top :)
probably got me beat as i've never tried LN2/DI as yet
anyway small update with nice E8600 on H20 !
