I'm using modded 1304 bios with default strap set at 1333fsb but with -20 negative burnin by default, so you still get 266fsb for default cpu and with 533 divider you still get 1:1

I made 3 versions of this bios, one with default 1.45v, 1.50 and 1.55v vcore set. I'm using 1.5v vcore (1.441v) version right now

Ya need ITK method of bios update outlined at http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=96648

1.45v bios - only the 5 files missing the winxp bootable floppy created files so do that yourself or grab them from other 2 bioses below.

1.50v bios one i'm using now gives me 1.441v real vcore

1.55v bios - have yet to try myself yet will do next in light of my below 3dmark05 results below

Note, use at your own risk, i take no responsibility for any damages done when using the above 3 bioses



Okay here's what ya been waiting for I guess, some 3dmark action

Thought I'd start off with my 2x 256MB BFG 7800GTX @473(525)/1350 for all below tests in SLI mode with some special drivers

System:


Stock @2400Mhz (9x266fsb) with 4:5 (667)
for memory @333Mhz 3-3-3-15 at 2.1v


3dmark06 = 8,328



3dmark05 = 13,345



@3004Mhz (9x333fsb) with 1:1 (533)
for memory @333Mhz 3-3-3-15 at 2.1v


3dmark06 = 8,757



3dmark05 = 15,521
(dam that's fast and i haven't even clocked the video cards higher yet and look at the >10k cpu score!)



@3422Mhz (9x380fsb) with 1:1 (533)
for memory @380Mhz 4-4-3-15 at 2.2v


3dmark06 = 8,989



3dmark06 = 16,286



@3809Mhz (9x423fsb) with 1:1 (533)
for memory @423Mhz 4-4-4-15 at 2.2v


vcore = 1.441v

3dmark06 = 9,166



3dmark05 = frooze in cpu test #1

@3780Mhz (9x420fsb) with 1:1 (533)
for memory @420Mhz 4-4-4-15 at 2.2v


vcore = 1.441v

3dmark05 = rebooted system from cpu test #2

@3750Mhz (9x416fsb) with 1:1 (533)
for memory @416Mhz 4-4-4-15 at 2.2v


vcore = 1.441v

3dmark05 = 16,724



Seems quickest way to find stability is 3dmark05 cpu test equivalent to my 2hr dual stressprime run at 3750mhz at 1.441v

Reminder, all above scores are with 2x 256MB BFG 7800GTX @473(525)/1350!

Now comapre this to my best FX-60 score so far with 2x 256MB BFG 7800GTX stock HSF @493(541)/1370-77

I'll do oc'd SLI tests next
