    yah you can probably take them down then considering I did them all on air but that IGP is a picky one

    you will find that it interferes with overall clocking by using it and limits you to what voltages you can apply or you get greeted by the artifact screen of death when windows boots.

    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    ahhh need ddr 3 board to beat me eh?

    The 2600 pro's aren't gonna do you much good without a good bios behind them.

    Not something RBE can make either

    Have fun, my backups are collecting dust anyway.....Plus I have bigger fish to fry atm.

    how about watercooling and a vmod?


    oh and i have extra DDR3 only DDR2 i have is this

    cpu doesn't need that voltage to be stable needs it not to melt the mem controller

    Hmm dumo, I'm still trying to figure out how I want to tackle these.....One mind tells me to make a mounting kit as the mach kit sucks, on the other hand I should just sell one to pay for the other to be modded......finding modders in usa though

    If I choose to make a kit, I will whip out an extra one for you Dumo my kit will fit video cards as well.

    Hmm not impressed with that asus boards IGP, higher cpu speeds, much higher memory bandwidth, same core clocks = 3k lower score...

    still doesn't matter driver isn't gonna give you a 3k point increase ( I know this because I tried a bunch of drivers ).....at those clocks it should have at least matched it.....especially with the added memory bandwidth........

    You do know there is a reason why no other mobo manufacturer were boasting high 3d06 scores because they did not optimize for good IGP performance, take a look at the bot, gigabyte 790 GX dominates. You are probably going to have to use the same board....in fact I have no clue why you didn't, your d9's are way better than my ram.....

    did 23K with the new driver and slower IGP/DRAM

    Depends on if the IGP cooperates when Overclocking or not. It's a real pita, You should be able to smoke me on air though the extra bandwidth from ddr3 and good ram should be all you needed at same clock speeds.

    Someone beat ya to it in 01 cdawall,

    take a look and you will see what I have been hinting at all along

    http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=830020

    Board is put to the side right now I will have to get to it later....I just may have to grab a decent set of ram after all.......

    Hmm lol its was deleted......must have been a bogus score......you can still take my spot wall he got me in aquamarks but I didn't try to hard....
