Charged3800z24 below is one of my 3d05 scores but I had the CPU running about 200MHz faster than yours in that test but the IGP wasn’t clocked up as much as yours. I’d say your score looks in line with my score.

You were talking about placing a fan on the NB to help cool the IGP, I did that for all the tests except for the ones I had the NB under a waterblock. Anyway I touched the heatsink on the NB when it was clocked @1000MHz and it didn’t feel hot, maybe warm but not hot. Water cooling my NB didn’t gain me anything more for clock speed.

Fact is after running mine at 1000MHz for a few dozen tests it began to black screen and now the max IGP clock I can test is 960-980MHz. Maybe your IGP will be stronger than mine but based on my tests it appears as though I should have set 950MHz or less as the max safe overclock for this one.

I ran my last test with this MSI today though, as it died from forgetfulness. All the hammering on this thing and it held-up test after test even at up to 1.7v vcore with 2X4870x2’s overclocked. I had a cooling system water leak that ran water all the way across the MB but I just dried it out and fired it right back up and started testing again. This last one was different though I hooked up the chilled to run a couple of short tests but forget to insulate the upper side, lower edge of the waterblock and a small area of hose above the waterblock. Condensation from the waterblock after the testing when the frost melted killed this little jewel. I’ve had durability problems in the past with the MSI GD70 but this little MSI 890GX has proven durable at least for me. R.I.P. little MSI. Sorry Simon.
