Thanks guys for all the comments. I'm really happy after only one night with the card...
and 684/1386 @ 1.58v makes me wonder what will happen if I go up to 1.7v...
Those heatsinks on the ram must help!!
This is my second experience with Asus video cards and they've both been great.
I had an X800Pro Vivo from Asus that also kicked ass :).
It's interesting that Asus released three versions of their 6600GT, and I'm sure you're wondering...
this is the standard EN6600GT/TD128 :)

I'm picking up a second one that hopefull clocks just as well in SLI.

Looking forward to all of your results! ;)

That's very, very nice for a standard Asus 6600GT. You probably should try the TOP Limited Edition. Mine are nice even at stock volt although nothing close to yours. But, I am sure, with your skills and mods, you can squeeze a lot more.

I wanted the TOP Limited editions but I couldn't find them anywhere and they were a charging a $50 premium for the TOPs. So I took a gamble that a regular card would work out well and I guess I was lucky :)

Did you use nVidia's AutoDetect on your card? I have 2 un-modded, stock cooling TOP cards and they were both auto-detected 60X/1240 for GPU/RAM. What do you think of this?

That's pretty good... with stock volts and auto detect on my regular 6600GT's I got 569/1160... so I guess it's pretty comparable an almost 70mhz improvement in core and around 160 in memory over stock. I'm guessing that the TOP cards have higher stock voltage than the regular cards since they are clocked at 550/1100 right out of the box... I do use the AutoDetect when I first put the card in to get a real rough idea of what to expect but then I switch immediately after to Riva.... :)

Oh do you have a pic of the card? Does it physically look different from the standard card?

The TOP looks exactly like one on your pics. How to check the voltage? Let me know and I can do measure using digital multimeter here. Thanks.

My Gainward scored 571/1140 with coolbits. I think the thermal pads on the HoHums(tm) RAMDACS arent helping much. Hopefully the weeked will put an end to this :D

Shamino has a guide on his site here:

The TOP has between 1.41v and 1.43v stock on the core in 3D mode:)

Hey, which scenario is the most mem clock craving in 01?

Thanks

By that you're implying that the voltages are higher? I thought the 6600GT ran at 1,24 VGPU :confused:

I do nopt know who chose that colour of blue for the Asus cards but combined with the colour of the heatsinks it , to me, makes it look very classy and substantial, if you know what I mean. The green and red cards just look ordinary.

Ok. Now before you all start yelling at me, I have the red in 750VAC and the black in COM. My grounded object i use is my computer case, as I cant seem to fin anything better. No matter how hard I try, I cant get any voltage reading in windows :confused:

Any help will be strongly appreciated!

I totally agree Andy, after getting the Asus my evga looked so ordinary and cheap. The Asus feels well built and the soldering and construction of the card is far superior... they actually solder pins on for measuring voltage not just some silver blob... it's no wonder Asus brand cards always seem to carry a premium over others...

I think the 1.24v is before booting into windows.... in windows the voltage is higher...

Don't use 750VAC. Try 20VDC.

Tried, same negative result :(

Hmmm. Are you sure you're measuring at the right point? By the way, I don't have that card so I wouldn't know where to measure. :confused:

Yeah, Shamino's VGPU measure point. It works with gocchin so I'm not quite sure where I went wrong :(

Maybe it's not grounded ? Stick your probe into a spare Molex black wire hole if you know what I mean

I just took down 29k with the Fx 5950 and finally managed to beat Highwaymans outstanding FX 59nn record which has stood for a long time

volt mod tomorrow.

wow those are some sick gpu clocks, excellent 2003 score too! very curious how this pans out in 2001 though. Try to get it with the ricky tweak and high fsb and 12x multi then things may get interesting :toast: :slobber:

Great score too, andy! If you have time, I wonder how the 53.03 compare :D

nice zak.. i assume you've got that same heatsink that was on the FX5800 when you went for that record? the copper thing with two rows of rounded rectangular fins?

ya know what... i better just ask for a pic of the cooling. :D

you've still got a little work to do, considering highwayman got an astounding 216fps in nature with his FX5900u. but ofcourse, you're over the hump, you've broken the record for any geforceFX gfx card. ;) congrats.

Yes, the globalwin cpu coolers are my favourite ok but at present this card still has the stock hsf on it ! Nice job as well it is, I'll take a picture tonight. I suppose that hen you charge a lot for something originally you can afford a good cooler. With air at 1C blowing over it from my 170mm Papst fan it doesn't get that warm. Maybe it will when volt modded. Actually the volt mod looks quite difficult.

Yep, highwaymans card clocks are a lot better for gpu, his volt mod and water / peltier really did the business .. glad he did not have an Fx-55 in those days ;)

If I get bored I will do the 53.03's GF .. at 570/1100 what do you think the nature score will be ? My guess is 155 ....

THe black molex did it, thanks :toast:

Now what I find funny is the fact that the card has 1,45V in 3D mode. Isn't that more than it's supposed to be?

Today I begin my adventure. The hunt for 4,5K in 05 and 10500 in 03 :) I hope I can fix up the water circuit quickly :)
