Ok here are my findings - I was using CCC at 690 / 780. I could not run the memory at 800 stock volts or it would artifact. I was also breaking 10,000 in 3dmark 05, I believe 10,090. - (Nope 9803 with stock bios 690 / 780 - sorry)
So I flashed to this bios, 690 / 800 is stable, 3dmark 05 dropped to 9942 and I can run 800 memory no problem. I believe this bios slackened the memory timings a bit to make it more stable. Thats fine but I dropped slight performance at the higher oc. I prefer this however since it's not a software OC and the fan seems to spin faster than when OC'd in the CCC.
I gained 1 FPS Avg. in Fear however!!
BTW performance in gaming is outstanding!!
