8800GTS: 71.5k 01, 229k AM3, /w water cooled xeon

Was pretty cold out tonight (25f) but not very windy :(

Vdd modded the 8800 with SMD grabbers to 2.05vdd and took my mem from 1025 to 1125 :D
Ramped the vmch mod on the board up to 2.1vmch
vdimm = 2.8v
vcore = 1.6v
vfsb = 1.4v

3060 xeon L630
xbx2 vmch modded
EVGA 8800GTS 660-670 core 1100-1025 ram vdd modded
crucial ballistix PC5300 3-3-3

:eek: Can't believe my ram went that high! On AM2 I couldn't get past 467mhz at the same voltage, and 975 should be harder to clock on! Nature was at 670 core, rest of the run at 660. Nature, dl, and ll at 1125 memory, rest at 1100. Started artifacting so I backed down.

An earlier 06 result

470 fsb started crapping out :(

After that I decided to try some pi and even 467*9 would BSOD. I tried 2.52vdimm (this was with my 2gbhz now, 4-4-4-4) and it worked for a bit but 1m would crash after 2 runs and 8m wouldn't go. No idea what happened, maybe my room warmed up.

Ummmmmmmmmmm can you VMOD my GTS!!!!!!!!!

Ill, ill...................get back to you, have to think of something.

They are IHSless...............:-)

That is bloody insane chap!

Nice results Sean :)

So you want your card to look like this?

really nice scores AFI !

congrats !

You should put a Tuniq on the gts i heard it PWNS!

Did i mention it pwns??


THE TUNIQ PWNS!

matt gtfo my life and stop telling me the tuniq pwns in 4 different places :(

Hmm.. that'd be interesting though, a Tuniq on a GTS :)

TRY IT!!!

I think i am going to work on that :)

i heard it pwns the tuniq that is!

hey Sean what do you call those clips for voltage mods i want to go and get a few of those....as they are not as messy as soldering :)

They're called SMD grabbers. Not sure where you'd get them over in Australia. Maybe mouser.com ships internationally?

maybe you can send them to me sean?

btw the Tuniq PWNS!

You beat my X6800 with your Xeon!

Mad scores and clocks, thats what I like to see!

nice scores.. Cant believe how strong G80 GPU..

crazy stuff your 8800GTS wiped the floor compare to my 8800GTS especially in 3dmark2001/05 bit slower in 3dmark06 heh

Awesome work dude!

Wuss mods FTW eh. :p:

Great scores but why is CPU-Z showing multi 6 instead of 9 in some screens? :confused:

Man, SMDgrabbers mod? Hardmod it. ;)

Nice scores, though. I'm liking the 4.1GHz on water.

seriously, if you are willing, I will ship you one of the GTS, so you can vmod it.


Hell i'll meet you in Cherry Hill. :-P I can hop the PATCO line, or you meet me in Philly.

Forgot to disable ESIT/speed step, drops multi to 6x at idle.

You're taking off the heatspreader of those cards but haven't got the bawls to do Vmods, just with smd grabbers?

Vmod with smd grabbers is a piece of cake, easier than pencil mods even.

Even soldering to the IC's legs isn't that hard.

well I may have popped my IHS, but I won't do a VMOD, however I would be willing to put a card up for VMOD, see what it can do for Temps and all out performance.

I didn't take the IHS off, phelan did. I wanted to get the mod done quick and safe. SMD grabbers were the easiest way. Pencil, solder, or grabber, I got the mod done so who cares. I've full modded an x800pro and two 7800GTs so it's not like I can't solder.

I was talking to Phelan, should have quoted him, sorry.
Mods are mods, as long as they work it's fine. ;)

Nice stuff :)

Nothing special. XBX2 is the fastest conroe board clock for clock in 3d01/AM3 and optimal 01 run order + LoD values :)

I am trying to get AFI to VMOD my card ;-P

its not really that hard...smd grabbers are so easy....have you ever used a clothes pin before? if so you can do it...

SMD grabbers do not give as good as contact as soldering but for quick and dirty they work well.

Low nature score I think, are you a LODer or not ? I forget who does and who does not LOD on moral grounds ? :) All the other tests are pretty good .. nice RAM clocks :toast: Were the subtimings lowered, if not and you can then you should be able to pick up even more gains in lobby.

You should push for top spot..... good luck.

Andy

Yeah LoD 4.6 nature first in order off a clean boot, this is the fastest nature score I can get :(

Sub timings were as tight as possible, MAYBE I could have run TRFC 18 but I doubt it.

Might grab a quad GT for some dry ice action. Still debating if it's worth the money or not.

From my own experience, 4.6 is best for nature.

What PCI-E freq. did you run?

109 BIOS which is max, clockgen shows 107 and if I clockgen past it, I lock :(

I beat you in nature by just a little, but your clocks on both cpu and gpu are higher, I only have a GTX vs your GTS.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9103970

imo 4.6 is a little high, I got better results at just 4.

Not trying to sound like an a55hole but i think that you can improve those scores, i get 11581 on 3d06@3,96ghz conroe and 680/980, and 20500@same speed on 3d05, with 300mhz more it would be something better. Keep going! :toast:

Incase you didn't know

660 core (what I ran) = 648 real
680 core = 684 core real

54mhz shader difference also. 36mhz real difference in GPU limited benchmarks, of course your score will be better.

Yes i did know, but i'd bet that 200mhz on cpu is more than 36mhz on the core, wouldnt you ? On par at least, anyway i think that you can improve the results, if you dont...well i wont argue with you :)

200mhz cpu is more than 36mhz core in 3d01 sure...but 05 and 06, totally gpu bottlenecked benchmarks of course the 36mhz core is worth more

Well i did some tests:

360mhz(cpu) extra = 260 points extra

36mhz(gpu) extra = 300 points extra

3600 + 660 gpu = 11025
3600 + 680 gpu = 11320
3960 + 680 gpu = 11581

so 4150mhz + 660gpu = 11420 ( according to my tests ) so i was wrong, not too much tho because you were running 20mhz faster memory :fact: i also prefer 3d05 where the cpu is more important.:slapass:

Regards :toast:

Yeah 06 is pretty crappy :( Mem speed doesn't mean much. 100mhz memory got my 5 fps in 01 nature.

you need quad core for 3DM06 :(

I think it's stupid that 3DMark 2006 factors CPU directly into your score.

It's 3DMark, not PCMark. :mad:

Yeah but the SM2.0 & 3.0 scores are the important part....look at it this way......no-one plays SUPER-Pi.

Alright, for like 5 of the same post in this thread alone, reported.
Also, if i see it again im going to kill you.
Nice results BTW! Makes me want a GTS all the more. The knowledge of 8900 keeps me from biting the bullet though... Ill wait a while and see what comes of R600 and 8900 series. 8900GTS SLI here i probably come!

Whens the last time a game didn't use your CPU :rolleyes:

Then again 3dmark is supposed to be "the gamers benchmark" yet it takes advantage of quad core when games are just beginning to take advantage of two threads.

TUNIQ PWNS!


Btw sean where did you get that run order ;) also i always used lod 4.9 ::rolleyes:

My water pwns your tuniq.

Some silly named matt told me my order. LoD 4.6 is faster.

Nice results afi :toast:

i wish you would send me some water :(

Why is my dear friend Matt "bikester1986" banned from the forums? :( His sagely advice was instrumental in me achieving this high score.

tomorrow im gona get the water running we can see how far i can get with my qx6700 and 8800gts without mods in 06 i have an easy task but with 05 i dont know....

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=1314587

11.9k 06 :D

Nice afi :toast:
I heard that the tuniq owns dude, can't remeber where i read it though...

I hear Dragon Evo pretty good.. but i'm too damn lazy to test as of lately. :S

Great results buddyy. :)

Pretty good results.

Hey sean ;) btw the tuniq pwns kingpin :) i missed you sean oh yea i have the p4p800-se board lol and the p5b-deluxe also kingpin :)
