i would say you're at 1.33 because of your clocks

[STEvil]

Found it. 1.28 idle, 1.33 ish load ... going through 3D03 now.....

[dinos22]

that's even better than my core

what kind of cooler do you have on that card

[STEvil]

Full stock.

Asus 8600 GT 512mb DDR3 silent.

~62c loaded at those clocks with ~25c ambient and a single low rpm 80mm pointed at the heatsink......

edit - 3d03 numbers.

[dinos22]

ah ok
nice cooler



better than my card for sure hehehe

[STEvil]

It actually sucks pretty bad

3D03 numbers added btw

edit - and i'm running rivatuner temp monitoring int he background through another run just to see how 3d03 affects temps vs AM3.

edit - awesome, my CRT caught fire

what?
you serious

[STEvil]

what?
you serious

Yes.

I guess 1024x768 @ 100hz was too much for it with a box on top

Its still working fine though. Took the box off and used a box fan to whisk the magical smoke out the door. Re-ran 3d03, +300 points.

64c through 3d03. Changed fans now though so -1 or 2 c maybe from 64 if I reran.

i usually read from caps after the inductor for whatever voltage...

[Johnny Bravo]

Yes.

I've never heard a man so blasé about his monitor catching fire in all my life!!!

[dinos22]

my card is bytching out at 1.74v

single stage cooled

don't know if contact was good or not

[dinos22]

this blows

MASSIVELY BOTTLENECKED by RAM speed

so the faster the ram the better the scores will be fellas
core speed really means very little once again

[dinos22]

weird

i can bench nature with say 700MHz core linked 850MHz RAM with 1.9v to the core
yet if i bump it to 800MHz it crashed WTF

[[XC] gomeler]

Sounds like the 8800GT's where GDDR3-2200 was possible with stock cores but 800MHz cores made GDDR3-2000 a fight.

[dinos22]

yeah but you could still clock the core by lowering RAM

this is different

[dinos22]

my card is rubbish

i have the same exact card.. stock sink and a 120mm fan @ 100cfm, 1.6v 972 mhz core and it does not hit 60c... going to remove the sink here soon and toss the chiller on her.... only thing is now i think i am at the power circuit limit.. since no matter what i do now i get the instant line artifacts when i change to anything above 972 mhz.. even with 1.8v...

and again the mem is
anyone know if all these cards are cold bugged?

happy modding!!!

[dinos22]

mine has no trouble going down to -60C

[JamesBong420]

how many volts are u running dino? and 945mhz the max u can do?

[[XC] gomeler]

Possible that the core is exhibiting a coldbug like the 8800GT and the 9600GT? Perhaps try naked die without TIM and see if the warmer core helps.

[WesM63]

Card arrived today. I'll see what I can do on air tonight on my e8600 rig.

[G H Z]

Try it around -30, if it's anything like the 9600GT we had in LA they won't run colder than that.

yeah i'll try that

[Johnny Bravo]

maybe mount it on phase or something?

I'm getting around to doing my vmods sometime this week

[dinos22]

maybe mount it on phase or something?

what do you mean?
