Anyone know the difference between the two Zotac 8800GT AMP! Edition part numbers:
ZT-88TES3P-FCP
vs.
ZT-88TES2P-FCP
HDMI-adapter?
OR
[wishful thinking]
3 phase power?
Or even Samsung GDDR3
[/wishful thinking]
Came in. Reference cooler, reference design. Damn you ewiz.Quote:

I use a thin film thermal interface that is kind of a pain to work with but has a very good bond if you do it right. If there is an residual crap on the chip, nothing will stick. Its like putting tape on a dusty surface.Quote:

I had to replace this as I run a bare die FX-60 and the normal clamping force would crush my chip. You have to be careful on the exact size of the o-ring or it will not seal if its too small or will bow the hot plate if its too big. I believe the MCW60 has the smaller o-ring, so it may have been damaged, or not installed correctly.
o-ring = washer??
I find the absolute best way to stick ramsinks on is to first clean the ramsinks with alcohol.
Then apply a nice layer of mx2 and then after a few minutes, apply a small dab of superglue on the ramsink and hold it in place for 15secs.
This will give it a nice bond and if you need to pop them off, lightly twist and they come right off.
I've never had a problem with this
Eddie, excellent pic! So, in your opinion, are those all the PWM components that need heatsinks?
Thanks, well I'm not sure if they need them or not, but if you look at the original single cooler heatsink, those are the parts that are specifically cooled with the sink.
So, it just seemed like a good idea to cool those parts as well.
My clocks have been good too 771/1955/1021 with a fan blowing on the card and of course the gpu watercooled.
I get about 36c on the gpu, 30c on the memory
I never had much luck with cpu or gpu.:shakes:Quote:

Got me a E6750 cheap, a 100bucks upgrade from my old bad cpu,
I did run it to 3900mhz and I guess really cold outside I might be able to do 4ghz.
Just for bench not 24/7 which I enjoy more than benching.
Running it 3800mhz atm :toast:
Got new ram, Crucial 8500 2gb and running them 4.4.4.12 and got a super pi at 32mb 13.03 min.
3Dmark06 i got 13350p and not maxed out yet.
This 8800GT so badly needs a hardmodd.
Just that I and stuff like small things on videocards and heat dont go hand in hand:stick:
Wow. Those numbers are insane! Honestly these cards are amazing in every regard.Quote:

I will look into this! if i order, it will be on the 3rd. Thanks for that :up:
Has anyone ordered from dell? do they ship fairly fast?
Guys how you overclock both cards in SLI mode under Vista32bit? what program you use? i run riva tuner 2.06, but dont see option to overclock second card.
I just bought an 8800GT MSI OCed card (apparently with two free games but they didn't say which ones so I wouldn't count on that) from dell.com for $219 shipped (includes taxes for my state).
It's not in now I guess but it should ship in a couple of weeks. That's close to the best price I've seen for the 8800GT yet.
Go to dell.com and search for 8800gt. They should have it listed for 207 after a 20% discount which expires Dec 6.
I just bought (2) EVGA Geforce 8800GT SSC for a SLI setup and the new eK 8800GT FB water block NICKEL to go with it. This is the highest factory OC card out there coming in at Graphics Core Clock 700MHz, Memory Clock 2000MHz, and the Shader Clock 1750MHz. I should get the cards on Monday and the eK blocks on Wed next week. I do not plan on putting them under water tell the end of this month. I will keep you all posted with the SLI scores I receive. Here is a review link of the eVGA 8800GT SSC vs Ultra, GTS...

all i know is from personal experience upgrading from a gts 320 they are great cards :clap:Quote:

Nice results :)
Here is a 3DMARK06 score of 14200 with 1 eVGA SSC card only at stock setting with my Q6600 at 3.6GHz using Vista x32. SLI setup and Overclocking screens coming up soon and water cooling pix with the eK FB 8800GT's in SLI. :)
anyone got Gainward 8800GT 1024MB DDR3 GS 9016 or other 1GB version, i see it now for sale, but no reviews so far :) i didnt expect much increase at lower resolutions, but still im interested to see any review, even mini.
