fast pc

[Makubex_GB]

18215 with 8800Ultras in SLI... no surprise there.

[Circaflex]

Makubex_GB and afireinside, why all the hate?

[DStealth]

Cos it's funny giving us info, about config part, nobody here cares in 3d mark section i mean
And the score is too low IMO. I had in the beginning of the year with nf650 2x8 pci-e and e6600 air cooled 8800gtx's over 17k with the old drivers. 18k with new driver and quad + ultras, are really nothing, over 20k for such a rig are normal score for a bencher, which this guy's not He's just wanting to blow one's own trumpet. That's why you'll see such a sarcasm, not hate my friend.

[.Logic]

Com'on guys... obviously this guy is new to the forum (according to only having a post count of 2), don't give him a hard time, he's trying

Seraphiel you have some really nice hardware, I reckon you could push 20,000 in 3DMark06. 8800 Ultras are specially binned for higher clocks, try rasing them, even if just a little bit. Some more advice would be to experimenting with your RAM, maybe try higher speeds with looser timing/latencies.

Oh, and welcome to Xtreme Systems

[Envydia007]

nice result and nice rig. yes oc the gpus a bit.

[Kunaak]

Because 1. he listed a bunch of pointless stuff that's irrelevant to the score and 2. it's a stock score practically in a section called "xtreme 3d"

XS is welcome to all benchers.
we are not elitists here.
XS is not a small club for 10 overclockers, and thier fan clubs.
we welcome beginers as well as the high profile guys, cause everyone at some point began somewhere.
even Hipro, FUGGER, Opp, Kinc, Macci, Newbeetle... all at one point were beginners.
if you start trying to exclude people, just cause they do not meet your imaginary standard of what you think XS is... then we lose out, on people who could potentially be great overclockers given time.

you should have welcomed this person, being thier 2nd post here... not belittled them.

I for one, welcome you Seraphiel.
Welcome to XS.
as the guy who welcomed me here use to say "welcome to the sickness".
you'll know what that means after you buy your 6th CPU in a month, and are selling your high end video cards... to get another high end videocard.
it never ends, haha...

Ha, I'm just kidding, like Kunaak says...you have to learn sometime (except for Hipro, FUGGER, Opp, Kinc, Macci, Newbeetle...they were born knowing how to oc) Welcome to XS!!!

[Envydia007]

who knows this person is not a newbie. Why assume?

[nitteo]

Nice run Seraphiel.

And Kunaak, I am sorry but the norm attitude in XS is elitist. People like Makubex, afireinsde, and dstealth are abundant here. I guess thats what happens when you host the "elite" people of benchmarking.

I did get the spark inside of me to benchmark just recently. I come to XS for research, tips, and tricks, and maybe ask one question or two. I rarely post since I have seen a few n00bs like me get torched by "active" "established" members.

That's why many international benchers have other forums in their own country/language .

It's pretty normal that starting users don't often post here, as the knowledge here is huge. It took me a while before I stopped making useless posts like "congrats ...".

Just work yourself into the forum and benchmarking in general, the rest will follow.

[SPQQKY]

XS, the new MadOnion.......no wonder why I don't visit here as often as I used to.

That would be nice if XS welcomed new members but I find that isnt the case @ all . Unless every one knows you or you have Products that arent for sale yet no one cares or is willing to help you .

Manny times I have come to this Site looking for help and I dont think I have EVER recived help , only flames or nothing @ all . Heck I have even posted WR's and not got a single reply .

/me walks back to OCF where ppl dont have a stick up their ass's

[Gautam]

You know, while I have to admit that my entry here was a little rocky, I never got any sort of welcome at OCF either. Looking through your threads I don't see any flames and plenty of props and some help.

A lot of people come to XS to post and see the highest overclocks on the planet, so its what plenty here have gotten used to. Frankly speaking there's nowhere else on the net like this. Usually people either don't understand, or don't care, or both.

You know me though, I've got tough standards on everyone. I'll congratulate any effort but I'll also nitpick if I see room for improvement.

[Console]

Yes there are some nice PPL , and Props to them for helping out , but it is not a rare thing to see a thread with 50+ views and no replys . A few tips can go a long way for some ppl .

[Hazzan]

Welcome to XS Seraphiel !!! all around the world want searching learing and going study on XS forum ( same me to ).....about how to make PC like dream machine. BTW nice your OC with air cooling...........

[nitteo]

I guess you shouldnt have posted that score in the EXTREME 3DMARK TEAM if its not 25k+!!!

[railmeat]

18215 with 8800Ultras in SLI... no surprise there.

agree,plus dont forget the quad core getiing 7,000 points by itself.

Yeah man, shame on him for using a quad core! Pop a Pentium in there!

[kqzOr]

to break the 20k you have to push your cpu over 4ghz but on air only with a golden step I think.
Mine is an es B1 but I can easily bench with only 1.62v over 4.3ghz.

I broke 22.6k yesterday night but my qx6700 is cooled with ss r404 and my ultra's are both cooled with HR-03 plus /w triple titan 120mm (only 68/66°c over 700mhz on core (mods soon))

Your xfx's can easily take over 700mhz on core clock.^
to finish, try to remove two sticks of ram to bench with higher clocks and set the timings manually (certified by the manufacturer, then set lower timings, try some memtest and prime95(blend).

[gillll]

very nice run

indeed shows us what air can achieve and i guess some more with more OC.

[michaLcoughliN]

was there a V mod on ur ultra to post past 680??

[Dynasty]

was there a V mod on ur ultra to post past 680??

should be able to break upto 700-720mhz core clks without vmods.....



Seraphiel Welcome to XS....

[jimmyz]

also i would drop a muti or tw and get that bus speed up. you have found a cpu setting 3.5ghz so try 390 x 9 multi for 3510mhz ram at 2:1 would be ddr2 780 which is roughly the same settings but with a better bus speed.
