Mikeguava breaks 50k in 05

[mike]

That's nice to hear. Might I ask what PCI-E clocks were you running?

I was at around 103 - PCI-E clocks actually are my number 1 priority for the next bench session - I hadn't been able with all voltages stock to go above 105mhz, but maybe after rasing voltages significantly things might improve. Update in a couple of days on that

hey man...keep slowly...I tried to match with you.

everything always very slowly here my friend. I think we will hvae a fun match!!!

In my basement, along with the HD 5880X2 I've been hiding 38k will be a cake walk once somebody actually pushes these GPUs but 39k would be.. insane.

what's your addy - hopefully you don't have too good of an alarm system...

I have noticed with HT enabled on my 975 I am able to bench more consistently w/o issues at 5.2~5.3GHz range with temps around -65~-75 degrees celsius..it will run all the way up to -115~-120 but ONLY if sub timings are loose and mem mhz is not super high. The only success I have had when running tight subs/high mhz on my memory is warmer temps which makes sense in regards to the IMC being the culprit with CB temps as you have mentioned.

Cool - thanks a lot for your feedback on this - yes the IMC is looking more and more like the culprit. nice - 5.2-5.3 range sounds awesome - 5.3GHZ is my range in 06 for the moment. Hopefully clocks will move up with a bit more testing
