hmm got some decent results here, no 4.5ghz 3d runs like titan! gj man, just shows how much a few degrees difference makes :)
sorry for the random pic sizes lol photobucket acting up :p:

I need to take a better pic, My computer is a mess though and I need to tuck in some wires I changed the tubing a few weeks ago so I guess thats a start:shrug:
Crazydiamond how did you get tessalation running on your 4870x2?......I didnt know you could do that. let me know how you did it I still have my 4850x2 Id like to see what result it gets?
Well, I have to do a Heaven test tonight, I do have some 3dmark06 and Cinebench if I can find it on my website. I don't have the graphics power of most on here but here it goes. I will run some test tonight and will update. Hope I won't be to late....

titan, tessellation was disabled, sorry.. thats what i get for running it at 5am :D
:eek:
Placeholder, I hope:p: These things always seem to start right after I go to bed, with work the next day. I'll try to backfill but have a lot on my plate, a big honeydo list plus just pulled my HD. I'll need to install a new one, +windows 7 and all the tools, and run all the benches from scratch :( What's that whining noise?
OT, crazydiamond, do you feel the second small rad is worthwhile? I have a spare 120 (to add to my 220) but didn't figure it would make much difference.
Here are my results (so far :p:)...

The Heaven benchmark was really strange, I probably ran it about 10 times.
I'd never ran it before so right after downloading I ran it with my 24/7 clocks
(240x17x11x11) and actually got a higher score than I could get with my best OC.... :shrug:
Heaven (best OC):

Heaven (best score @ 24/7 clocks):
Sorry, no sys info panels opened, didn't expect to use it... ;)
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...eaven_Best.png
I'll have to play with this when I get home from work so I can figure out whats going on.
Simon, could you give us some pointers on settings for Heaven benchmark? If we all run different settings it's hard to compare.
I hope didn’t misunderstand because if I did I hope someone corrects me and I’ll retest before it’s too late?:shrug:
These tests were done with chilled water and yes they were all completed earlier.
I tried Speed Fan but it doesn’t read the core temps below 0C and didn't read up higher when I tried it earlier during these tests. I did try the CPUID HWMonitor later and found that it did read the core temps above 0-C but it was too late for my best tests below. These temp readings are what I have found in different areas some at idle some under load. The coolant temperature in the freezer at the beginning of testing is -22/-20C, bios reads the CPU temp @-3C, system 17C, HWMonitor read a maximum temp of +20C during testing of both CineBench 11.5 and wPrime 1024. Sorry that I'm not more helpful with the temp reading.
Below is a link to a photo of the thermometer showing coolant temp @-22C

I updated my Post here. I ran default, should I run again with everything maxed? Tesalation was on normal, res was 1080p, etc.
I grabbed a coolermaster wc kit today, it was on sale for ~120$. It only has a dual rad, but compared to air i'm in heaven now. :D

New HD, windows 7 64 HP installed, everything downloaded. Only spent an hour and a half on the phone with microsoft to get it activated (they gave me a full version activation since there was no upgrade path from xp for the home premium family pack upgrade). Yawn. Bear with me, first benches after work tomorrow.
Well Folks...
I just took the plunge and ordered a Crosshair IV Formula from ZZF! :woot:
I've been running on MidRange boards for the last couple years and have been wanting a nice FX board.... I figured nows as good a time as any...
Hopefully It'll live up to my expectations (at least it will look nice in my case :p:).
It cost me $280 with FedEx overnight, maybe I'll get lucky and it will be here on Saturday.
Welcome to the world of Water Cooling beta! :clap: :D
If your feeling frisky with the cash, this block is cheap and VERY nice for the price!

It may be able to lower your temps a few more degrees....
BTW: Something seems to be seriously wrong with your Heaven bench... :p:
First off... Sorry for the double post. :cool:
I know Simon didn't ask for this, but I agree with you Zeus...
There are a whole lot of options that can give wildly varying results on the Heaven Bench...
I've never used it before, but like I said earlier, I've been playing with it since I got off of work. ;)
I came up with these Standard settings that everyone may want to use. I chose them to be as fair as possible for folks who might not have the best Video Cards/Monitors...
(BTW: beta, now I see why your numbers looked so wierd 8xAA and 16x AF :shocked:)
Suggested Standard Settings:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...Heaven_STD.png
The other good thing about these settings is that it won't take too long to run (with decent gear) and it still looks 1/2 way decent.
For folks that have 58xx (DX11) cards, feel free to change that option (I just don't have it :shakes:)
This is just a suggestion for a standard, I'm not trying to be bossy... :p:
Anyway, heres my result @ these settings:

EDIT: I ran this bench with the sound off.
