its had a light touch of the pencil.. see the modding thread up near the top of the page..
its not what i would call gaming stable at those core speeds thow.. it could be with more volts.. i aint done much to it.. core voltage up from 1.34 to 1.39..
some "extremists" have gone higher :laugh: :laugh:

i am now running at 4.gig.. testing for 24/7 cool running on air.. its all about volts.. but 4.3 for me is a little near the mobo/memory limits..
lets say i would use it for benching only..
i bought the E8400 to get 4 gig 24/7 without any fancy cooling.. :)
trog
ps.. its not just the cpu score.. it is with quads.. lets say my amd 6000+ chip at 3.35 gig pulled 11000.. so lets say 2000 is down to the faster intel system.. but its a b-llshit benchamrk thow.. at gaming resolutions the apparent gain would disappear.. the current futuremark lies thru its intel biased teeth.. he he he

That post reminds me of "focus group members" like "Rollo" or one of his many incarnations.
For those that don't know, "nVidia focus group members" are viral marketers that haunt hardware forums. In practice, they target pro ATi posts or threads and attempt to demean ATi hardware while pimping nVidia. Their official line of BS is smoke and mirrors. Some of the more constructive ones also create posts that paint nVidia gear in a positive light. They receive free hardware from nVidia to "test" for their trouble. Most of them have many multiple forum identities that support one another.
The AEG corporation site that used to be up claimed their services were to "Manage online communities" and "Create positive buzz". They also used phrases like "Strategic seeding [of] viral assets to ensure they are spread far and wide". The site has been pulled.
http://www.aeginfo.com/
The current official spin attempts to paint viral marketing as only beta feedback correlating.
This old thread was the first I heard of it:

I pay it no mind.
The way I see it, I spent at least $100 less on my video card than he did on his and at the rate I'm going I'll be over 10k in 3DM06 before I finish overclocking. Meaning my quality of gameplay experience will be substantially similar to his while I laugh all the way to the bank.

ohh most definitly, im at 410 now, nothing to be mad about, thats pretty high
but with a e6400 I had my FSB to 489(p5b deluxe - OLD) but it goes to show Quads dont like high FSB, although this at 410 kills(like almost 3 times) the performace of the e6400 with 489.

My 3870 has gone to the grave yard :(
During measuring the voltage I accidentally rubbed the lead across the card causing my monitors to go blank, and no matter what I tried I couldnt get it back, so I must of accidentally shorted the card :( :(.
All was doing great on my pencil mod until that point, I had the card at 1.43 doing great and stable at 932core and then I messed up. So next time Im going to be doing this with much more precaution.

does that do something special for the graphics card. I have pulled the CPU and everything from the board including the battery to basically start over. Do you think with what Ive done its worth a shot to fix it?

I have to agree here some, because I only post 3dmarks if its stable in gaming, to me thats the only numbers that really matter. I could run the hell out of my stuff and get one good run, but that doesnt mean its worth any real respresntation of my "real" power

So are we to believe that in order to be posted on this thread or the 3DM06 thread that we must submit 3 runs and then we will take the average score?
We all understand what a suicide run is, you both seem to think those are the only results that some of us post. I think that is a poor assumption.
We push for higher scores in benchmarks and that's how we attempt to find the limits of our hardware.
I have not read the clause in the Overclocker's Bylaws that states that a benchmark score must be repeatable in order to be valid.
Start a thread that is entitled "24/7 stable OC benchmark results w/verifiable results in triplicate" and have fun.

We all understand what a suicide run is, you both seem to think those are the only results that some of us post. I think that is a poor assumption.
We push for higher scores in benchmarks and that's how we attempt to find the limits of our hardware.
I have not read the clause in the Overclocker's Bylaws that states that a benchmark score must be repeatable in order to be valid.
Start a thread that is entitled "24/7 stable OC benchmark results w/verifiable results in triplicate" and have fun.
no I agree here too, Im not accusing anyone here of this, and come on, Im not trying to take sides, but I think an OC is useless if it doesnt really show anything. thats all im saying

Two schools of thought, I guess.
One creeps up to their stable OC, the other cranks it to the MAX then dials it back until it's just barely stable.:p
Viva la difference!;)
Extreme or 24/7 stable, nary the two shall meet...
Besides, nobody asks hipro5 or Shamino to verify if their OC are stable!:roll:

Im all about cranking, but its all about the fine tune,
stability is a must for me, dont know why but im addicted to SETI and seeing the highest numbers I can, so if my computers down even for 4 hours I really take a hit. Im not to concerned with graphics, but when I play a game I want it to look good,

i agree entirely about benching stable.. none of my scores are "gaming" stable..
but they are current at the time of posting.. they are repeatable.. they are not something dragged up from the past that isnt current and cant be done at the time of posting.. so therefore isnt repeatable..
i can also see asb's point of being "gaming" stable.. its just not practical to prove such a thing thow.. however some "proof" is needed to make the whole process valid.. "repeatability" is one of the proofs i personally would required..
i aint talking about the average of three runs.. simply the ability to produce similar results if required..
######
and as for proving me wrong about C/F working in crisis spanky.. so far u havnt.. so stop being childish..
u posted something that appears to show it working for u.. u also imply u had to do something to the game files.. so far u havnt said what..
it did not work for me..
it did not work in wizzards current review on the 3870 x 2 card..
its dosnt work "properly" in this review of the 3870 x 2 and normal C/F either..
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/ati-3870x2-review.ars/3
so crossfire does work "sometimes" and it dosnt work "sometimes".. thats all we know so far..
anyways enough said about crossfire and crysis.. it should be continued in another thread..

u get two extra cpu scores for the quad core as opposed to the dual.. it dosnt run the game test faster u simply get a higher cpu score..
if i ran a quad at the same speed as my dual i would get 15000 or so from a single card.. praps 22000 from two cards..

I think all the results should be on their own.
When I had a dual core I only lost about 300, when i went to a quad it was almost always above 600. When Im in a 3dmark kick I always have a dual boot setup, it seems almost useless to run in Vista because the results are always less.
Thats why Im excited that "The Haunted" is using Vista, if he was on XP he would be destroying my numbers! HEHE. I bet you(the haunted) could hit 15 or 15,500 pretty easily with the core that your running!

I think its pretty well matched with the crossfire setups if you check mine and wilhelms results we dont really have much of a oc on the cpu compared to them running crossfire and we are both at stock speeds on the graphics cards too while the crossfire users are overclocking i reckon with a good cpu oc and graphics oc we could match the crossfires easy.

the Overclock of a processor has a huge effect on 3dmark, the problem is that it doenst directly represent the graphical power of your machine. Thats why I look at 3dmark06 as more of a system test. But I think you guys should push the graphics and the proc as far as you can! Then you can move up in those results.
It made the difference of over 1000 on my system. Be sure to note that I have a quad though, that makes a huge difference

Thanks for the info. I'm still waiting for my proc cooler to arrive. I don't want do anything with the stock cooler.
Do you think pushing the memory will have much effect? While I've been a computer geek for years, I'm noob when it comes to overclocking. Sure is fun though. :D

That I havent seen much results on, I have moved memory timings and speeds while testing but it never made a difference of more than 50, so I credit that the differnces that take place everytime

i only ask as i can beat you all in this with dual core and come 3rd against the quads and 5th against the xfire setups, and i only have a single card and a 4300.

GPU memory can but I need to test more with it.. I dont see much boost from OCing the card's memory.
I should have gone with a 4 Mb Conroe or Quad but last Sept the 4400 was a good buy.

Well i ran some tests on dual monitors with ccc panel open on one to monitor temps i ran counterstrike source on the other now the card is at stock i found running css in low detail only uses 2d clock speeds but still preforms great and max temps got to around 72c but only around 40% of the gpu was been used.
i then started css again but with everything up full aa & af the lot and again still preformed really well but now it uses the full 825mhz clock with gpu ranging from 40 to 60+% utilized but the temps get this 82c and this was just a few mins into the game at stock!!
So i would really advise not to overclock your 3870x2 at all on the stock cooler or it could be R.I.P. for your card.

have you looked at the mounting holes that surround the GPUs??
When I was considering getting one(before they came out), I thought of using 2 swiftech MCW60 VGA water blocks and using some ram syncs to keep that cool.
Do you think the mounting holes are the same as a 3870?

02-12-2008, 03:54 PM
The mounting holes on my 3870x2 are not the same as the 3870s. The spacing is much smaller on the X2 probably due to space constraints.

i guessed at your goal.. a pencil.. read the thread at the top of the page about how to do it.. this will get u more than your goal..

Speedfan is clearly reading it wrong. Even under water itd be impossible, it would need active refridgeration somehow.

Such as voltages, mem ratio,and mem type. Also I run a reserator 1, even though it's not high performance as far as water cooling goes, temps are not a problem.
