What are your temps?

[Boneface]

right now 30c idle ive dropped my OC to 450/550

[Azn Tr14dZ]

3DMark05 score please?

[Boneface]

im currently redoing my overclocks with so when i get stable ill try it and post




update ok so i guess the 550/550 wasnt as stable as i thought it was...lol....but now i have it stable at 445/550 getting ready to do 3dmark05

[Boneface]

OK so i ran 3dmark05 and it was a score of 5508 with temps now at idle 26c and full 43c

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Didn't your old score used to be ~5800? What happened?

[Boneface]

actually i had it at 61xx...but i guess i didnt run atitool long enough and the it wasnt stable..this tim i let it run for 2days and its stable at 445/550

[Azn Tr14dZ]

Oh... mines stable at 441/543 w/ emt (I have R430, not R420 like you) so you can probably get a higher overclock than me. I get 5766 at 3DMark05 and 2140 at 06. Not bad I guess...

[Boneface]

i tried 06 and i just dont have the cpu for it with my x700 at 480/440 i got 710...lol

[Boneface]

ok well i did it and i got a 1211...lol....no sm3 i guess and no hdr...and my cpu isnt good enough for it
and i did 03 and got 10317...is that good?

[Boneface]

redid 3dmark05 CPU OCed to 2.30 and vid card upped to 576/576 with enhanced timings and got a 6808
