I played an hour with NFS: Most Wanted to test my new cooler.
GPU: 600 MHz (1.2V)
RAM: 1200 MHz (1.95V in ATiTool and 1.8V in the overclocker prog.:S Why?)
I/O: default voltage (1.9V)
SF-V7: 5V (2000 rpm)
System Cooler: near the VGA@1200 rpm
idle: 58 C
full: 81 C
It's too much, isn't it?:S
Its warm yes, but what are your room temps and airflow in the case?Quote:

Airflow is mostly bad i think. I have a Gigabyte G-Power BL coller on the CPU@1700 rpm. The CPU is 54-55 C when I'm playing. There's no other System coller, just near the VGA.Quote:

No other fans sucking air into the case?Quote:

You're right. No other fans. So your card works only 54 C at full load?:confused:Quote:

yay, Watercooling arrived, will post results later today, if water will not flood my PC :D
Thank you boys for the replies, I think the bad airflow is the problem too.
I opened my case and push up the Zalman to 12V. Here is my record (6. rank in Futuremark's X1800XL toplist, but with +52 point I'd be the third:()
9422
And did u notice a temp drop?Quote:

Nice there.... I need to push my core up to make a run and get my name on that board up higher hehe. I know I can score 9500+ if I can succesfully run through a 650/729 test.Quote:

ok .. 40C idle with 650Mhz on GPU ... 48C under load, not bad for a start with watercooling :-)
Well so far its worth it to get the new 5.12's
Right now it seems I can OC my card with higher voltages and well its still running.
Previous score 9338
Run 1) 9438
Run 2) 9463
Third run increase GPU voltage to 1.25V 639.9/729. I could maybe get 1 run with a cold boot before it crashed in benches i ran the first 2 then pumped up the voltage directly after the test and bumped the clock fired it up. I'm still in amazement.
Run 1) 9702
Run 2 with 3 run pass) 9706 :) WOOT
52C PWM 58C GPU
03 Runs with the 639.9/729 clocks 1.25/2.203/2.004V
Run 1) 17957
Run 2 with 3 passes) 18034
And the dreaded 01 still fails like the POS it is same damn test too.
But of course there not stable they give out after a bit in games and such causing artifacts... Takes longer though, hmmmmm. Wierd
So the 5.12's OC better?Quote:

Nice to hear. Maybe i can run 1.15v now. But i think a XT bios might do the trick. Or these A14 are still softground fixed cores ? they go over 500 mhz but can not handle voltage. And XT cards all can and have A15 cores. Realy strange.Quote:

Well actually so far yes stable. I gave rithdribl a run over night and that usually shows erros over time. STABLE!!
1.225/2.151/2.004 @ 630/711
Supprisingly I've never been stable at this voltage with this clock. An extra 8 on the memory and well just the core being stable with this voltage and not showing glitches. So I'd say ya these drivers help with stability. I know I can't use 1.275 otherwise it will artifact right away, but yet I can usually pass a few tests @ 1.25V before it starts erroring out. Wierd.
Well at this speed 9554 in 05 is what I got when I did a single run last night.
But overall weather its game stable, I'll have to find out more later on that one.
I heard about this..very exciting. Its just pisses me off how they bring out so many new models. If i was u i'll wait for the R600 which will have DX10 support.Quote:

Got my FS-V7 last night as well as my Zalman 9500. It was easier to install these then I thought it would be for my first time doing it. I am not sure about the results yet.
On the X1800XL I only get about a 6c change. It idles in the 40's. During 3DM05 it gets into the low 70's. Before it would peak in the high 70's. This is basically running it at 1.2/1.9/1.9 625/650. I have tried plugging the fan into both the white and black plugs (assummed the black was 12v). Either one I can't hear it - although I feel the air.
The 9500 is nice. My CPU runs in the upper 30's now idle. I don't like the fan spin up on boot - kind of clicks. But after the boot surge it acts normal. I really can't feel air flow through this thing.
From an overclocking standpoint, initial tests don't really show any ability to do anything else. Guess getting these new heatsinks is more for temperature insurance. :(
I get 58c stressed @ stock voltage 560 mhz core with my Zalman VF700-CU. And my 9500 is great. My cpu is like 44c stressed ( 2800 MHZ 1.6v ) It realy kicked the stock cooler with 30c stressed and improved my oc with 100 MHz.Quote:
