You can try by going to 950 mhz and set power tune to +10 . If it is ok for a couple of hours .. bump it to 1000 and set power tune to +20.
i am running 1000mhz on my 7970's and was stable at stock volts. i did set power tune to +5 just to be safe :)

Oh so powertune adjusts (or allows for adjustment) of voltage? Wasn't sure what that slider was for. Interesting. I wonder how much the +5 is equal to...

We're heading into winter here, so a little more heat is welcome :D Plus I do use my PC for games as well, BUT NOT DURING SC WEEK so Dave put down that phone! :rofl:

I wouldn't spend the money on them honestly. I'd rather put the money to something newer.

Ditto and definitely not on a 5450.
They're not on the "won't work" list, but they were, and the likelihood of them working is around .00000001%.

And yes I do own one :p:

You'd need your own personal nuke reactor to power that!

Oh that's quite simple.
First you get a written letter of authority from the sys-admin running the systems.
Next you get a written latter of authority from the department head backing up the sys-admin and adding their personal endorsement.
Next you get a written letter of authority from the Dean backing up the department head and adding their personal endorsement.
Finally you get a written letter of authority from the majority of the Board of Governors backing up the Dean and adding their personal endorsements.
.

.
.
I said "simple", not "easy".
Without that complete paper trail it's not worth risking getting kicked out of college and possible criminal charges for stealing university resources.

Reason for that number?
1) It's never been done
2) It beats what Team 2ch can do in a day
3) It's 10 million BOINC points and thats a nice round number! :D

Dave...... I think you shall go to the ball

70 mil would be nice, 100 mil and I think even the IBM company would be making accounts over here to see what the hell we're doing! :D

Thank you DA, I laughed my arse off :rofl:

We haven't hit 70 million yet. That's still four more million a way. But I'm not doubting this team one bit. With new video cards being brought online this week 100 million / day should be a mighty goal and a mighty feat!
