Hey guys, I pretty much live @ Futuremark forums w/ Jason/Orb/Force/Paddy/King Assasin etc...Anyways I'm gonna hang out w/ you crazie folks (

)...Anyways I score 7329 w/ these settings:

P4 2.6C @ 3.47GHz (Can do about 3.54GHz)
2x 256MB XMS3700 (This Ram SUCKS)
R9800NP w/o vmods @ 492/425 w/ SLK900U on GPU (3.3ns ram)

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=1336543

What do you guys think? BTW: 9800NP has an SLK900U on it...

Anyway, nice score.

there u go

**isp** · 09-25-2003, 07:55 PM

Welcome, make yourself at home

Nice score too :thumbsup:

**zakelwe** · 09-25-2003, 10:27 PM

Hi there, welcome.

That SLK 900U is pretty impressive ( as is your score on air ).

I use some big heatsinks as well and your picture reminds me yet again that it is a shame the AGP cards have the back at the top !

Did you use artic epoxy ?

Nice OC on that 9800np .. and on AIR. omg
What brand is your card? ATI ?

My Hercules 9800np craps out at 450/370, and thats on water. I first bought a Sapphire 9800np, but all it did was 425/330, so i got a Hercules instead. Im not very lucky with my Radeons i guess, as my old 9500@9700 diddnt OC very well either. all it did was 350/310.

Almost feel like trying nVidia again.

oh yeah.. there are a lot of crazy ppl here. Maybe weÂ´ll be one of them some day

i superglued the SLK900U to the shim...I fabricated a custom mounting kit that goes to slk947 and slk900 on r9800s though...fits perfect and uses the 9800's mounting holes...

well I already have a chiller....both airchiller and waterchiller...airchiller got my CPU temp down to 9C in BIOS...Everything I have showed you guys in here is on plain air without vmods...I've got a 7394 score on my HDD @ 500/425 w/ reg air as well...I think I can break 7425 if I run @ 507/425...That'd be nice with all air and no vmods...I think I can get it

**Kunaak** · 09-26-2003, 10:09 AM

wow, that some crazy overclocking there.
and superglueing that heatsink... I am scared just thinking about it

I bolt everything I can...
your a braver soul then I am

**afireinside** · 09-26-2003, 12:30 PM

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNN NICE! With such a heavy heatsink I'd be affraid the card would breat off the bracket thing and than snap at the socket part. Scarry thoughts....

I have a 3DMark '03 bench on my HDD @ 503/431 with this cooling. I'll post a new bench once I get 7.5K on all air. I'm vmodding in just a little while after diner...Look foward to seeing 520 core on air

**Marquzz** · 09-27-2003, 03:11 PM

crazy clocks on those rams dude! I've got 3.3ns aswell and they topped out at 393 with coppersinks, no mods though. Thought that my gpu did well at 480 w/o mods and "only" water, I've gor a Sapphire. Mods and Maze4-1 with some crazy a$$ peltier's coming

Awesome man...I score 7477 in '03 now...Got the card pushin' @ 509/429...My ram is KILLING me though....XMS3700 SUCKS! Anyways, I was gonna vmod tonight but honestly I don't feel like it. Tomorrow is the day that will count though. Look foward to some 530 core from me

**G H Z** · 09-28-2003, 12:27 AM

Haha, that's cool

I'll bet that SLK can handle an 80w pelt.
