I've done it yet again: a 306 increase :rockout:

http://img.techpowerup.org/080416/3DMarks.png

Using Vista 64 SP1: 2nd time i tried to overclock using 8 multi instead of 9 and 1st time i increased the PCIe from 100 to 110.

This new motherboard ROCKS: i'm using less voltage to go higher although, with the load line calibration, under load, it's higher then with the P5K-SE.

@ Dr. Spankenstein

Yes: i went higher, but with much less volts.

CRAP: i forgot to submit the score :(

Do i need to make another run or is that ok?

EDIT

Comparing runs Intel and AMD runs is like comparing a 100m olympic final between a man and a woman. @ present, Intel seems to be the man but that may change: who knows ...

running them w/ crossfire. i need to flash the his then benches

[erocker]

A good way to quick test out the new drivers is to just run "Firefly Forest" in 3d06. If you notice low fps or stuttering, the 8.4's are no better than 8.3's. In which case 8.2's are still the XP king.

I hope these new drivers work better.... I just got my quad core today!

well when i installed them it all went well. detected crossfire, and 8.3 never would (why i used 8.2)

[erocker]

Did you install them with both cards already hooked up? I hope so, that's the way it's supposed to work. I'm now excited, I want to leave work early.:rockout:

[freaksavior]

yup :)

[freaksavior]

@ erocker. what bios did you use for the his cards again? and is it possible to make a bios were its like 857 or 851 so it will auto clock to 850?

@ erocker. what bios did you use for the his cards again? and is it possible to make a bios were its like 857 or 851 so it will auto clock to 850?

What clocks, volts and brand would you like? I'll make you one now. Is it for DDR4 3870 cards?

[freaksavior]

i need one for this diamond. and this his.

the Diamond erocker edited for me and my card can do 850 but always shows up as 837.

and the his i am going to flash it with one of the turbo bioses and just want it modded to do the same.

edit: added a third bios

There is only one bios linked there? :ohwell:

And what clocks for each card? Sorry, I'm a bit lost, your post didn't make much sense...?

[freaksavior]

there are 3 bios files in the zip file.

i just want them edited so it will clock the cards at 850 instead of 837.

[kup]

Ahh... lol

I've just made you new ones, using a Sapphire .77 Bios (newest I've found) with the brands edited to HIS and Diamond and the Clocks set to 851/1206.

If you want me to edit the ones you linked I'll do them too. I tested both the HIS Turbo Bios and the Sapphire .77 bios and the only difference for me was the Sapphire allowed more volts (when modded) for overclocking.

[kup]

And here are the 3 bios you linked me to. All edited to 851MHz GPU. I left the ram and voltages alone.

[erocker]

Did you make sure to up the fan speeds?
*Quad installed.

[freaksavior]

on what?

[erocker]

On the bios.

[freaksavior]

idk. one is set at 87 and the other is stock i think.

[kup]

On the first ones I edited they are all set to the same fan speed settings, on the 3 you gave me, Freak, I've left them at stock.

Have you flashed any yet? Which ones if so? All working?

[erocker]

I think I just realized that the cards for my scores were actually at 877 core. They just don't want to go above that in CCC. I think Rivatuner was giving me the wrong numbers. Looks like I'm going to be flashing my cards to a bios with more V's. Thank you fitseries for a nice quad. Runs at 3.8ghz on air no problem.:D

use the HD3870OC Bios from Dr., its awesome!! I just flashed both of my VOLTMODDED cards last night, and it went great! I can OC in CCC to 1500 core!

Im stuck right now, my cards are limited to the speeds of my proc, a 3.8ghz quad just cannot keep up!!

You got a link there? How does it overclock compared to other bios? And performance compared to other bios @ the same clocks?

[erocker]

I believe there is a HIS bios that has the volts set at 1.327, while mine is at 1.3. I would like to see this other bios for sure.

*Here is the bios from the Dr.

It clocks great! Im having issues right now where Im hitting a wall no matter how high I push the cards. I think its limited by my proc though. I cant seem to get it to post at 4ghz.:mad:

At the same speeds it performs the exact same as my stock bios

Im looking into options that I might have to free up some money so I can get a qx9650, or maybe a 9770. All depends on how much money I can get my hands on.

I ran the cards at 877 and I get about 20500, run them at 945, same, and 999, and same thing again!! Its frustrating!!

Im gonna try to drop the multi to 8x and up the FSB to as high as I can, and see if that helps.

Any other ideas??

@Freak, did you ever end up getting the e8400??

[erocker]

I'm curious about how 8.4's are doing. I know freak was installing them...:confused:

doing good for me, I have 2 runs under my belt. Im quiting for tonight. I have to buy a but load of water cooling parts, my fricking proc is only at 3.6Ghz and the cards are at 960/1250 @ 1.5v, and here are my load temps
CPU Cores - 75C
GPU temps - 59C

These are load temps while running OCCT and furbench @ 100%.

Damn heat! I put my hand on the reservoir and its very very warm. Like almost HOT. I have to cool down that water somehow.

BUT... 8.4 are working great for me! I cant complain about 960 stable on both cards! 21k for everyday running speeds!

[freaksavior]

Ok can someone edit the bios so its 857 (ish so it down clocks to 850) and then mem at 1206 and fan to 100%.


i think i might be able to run it at that. also if you don't mind, one at like 823 and same fan and mem

http://www.zalman.com/ENG/product/Pr...ad.asp?idx=276
VF1000

Please take notice that one has a much higher fan speed and is, therefore, louder.

If you do try one of them out, let me know what your impressions of it are since i'm considering buying one of these myself.

[freaksavior]

they are flashed to 837 and 850 and crash. im not sure if they need more volts or what.

Well, before you fix it, I have been able to improve my score by a few points. I have been quite impressed with this new GEIL PC2 6400 that I have just gotten. I thought I was gonna have problems with them since they require 2.1 - 2.3 volts (online they said 1.9V) and my Asrock mobo only tops out at 2.0, but I have been running them at a FSB of 310 at 1.9 V with settings as tight as 3/3/3/6 and they have been great. I read a few reviews about them and they also have been said to run as high as 1090 with 2.1V and timings of 5/5/5/15. I am hoping to use them with a Abit p35 pro and my e6700 by the end of the year, just saving up for a pcie card and new psu!

Freak, you might think Im crazy, but you should volt mod your cards!!!

I can game stable at 960/1296 all day! Its awesome! I have run 3dmarks successfully at 999/1280 - just limited now by my proc :mad:

That way you could just bump the voltage to 1.4 ~ 1.45 and run 900+ stable.

I run 960core on 1.5v. I havent quite worked out the lowest possible voltage yet, still have to do that!

Let me know how you like the duorb. I'm thinking about getting a set for my cards, only thing i would have to do is buy ram heatsinks for one card since it doesn't use the reference cooler.

I know, I know! I gotta represent the Phenom even though I KNOW its got nothing on the Q6600. But I'm only at 2.6GHz on two of the cores. If I could somehow get this to 3.0 on all four the scores would be much closer.

My 3870 is dead. :banghead:

I'll be back with some numbers soon but for now I can't afford to replace it.

The vmod came loose again (I don't know whether it's crappy solder or the wires not taking the solder properly) and by the time I'd attempted another repair there was nothing left to solder to. The pin head sized solder pad was so badly damaged from repeatedly trying to fix it that I just couldn't do it again.

I'm going to keep trying, I'm sure I can find some way to do it, but if I carry on atm I'll just end up breaking the card out of frustration...

x1650 Pro POWWWAAAA!!!!

[Dr. Spankenstein]

Man, kup! That IS teh suck!

We've burried many a good card around here, but it doesn't make your loss any easier.
(Sheesh, I'm gettin' all sentimental about hardware....I'm such a pud.)

Hope you get back up-and-running with something a little more, how do you say....ballsy!:laugh:

[batmang]

Man, these 3dmark scores with single 3870's make me tuck my tail between my legs. I dunno if its me or not, but I got 50fps in 1680x1050 Medium quality in Crysis and I've seen comparible q6600 powered rigs get around 40-50fps. But then their scoring 13k with a single card while I'm scoring 13600k or so with a crossfire setup. Strange?

[Dr. Spankenstein]

Unless you are concerned about benchmark numbers, your rig is still killer. Your "real world" numbers attest to that!

Enjoy your system, it's badass. If you want to move up the ladder in this microcosm of benchmark scores, go Intel.

[batmang]

^^^ true. I was hoping to score closer to 15k when I got the second card in. I'm in no way sad about the addition, i just benched Crysis and I'm definitely happy. In 1680x1050 HIGH quality, I got 33fps. Thats pretty damn awesome because I normally play it in 1440x900.

[freaksavior]

Well me and Dr. have come to the conclusion my diamond has Crapped out on me.


James, i don't know if this is still open, because i sure hope it is.

I am very disappointed with diamond products, and from my experience, i will not be buying a diamond product again...ever.

You were and have been VERY helpful and i appreciate this. I need this card fixed again, but this time, i don't want it back. I want a check for my expenses, and the cost of the video card. I would much rather have a check by Diamond Multimedia than a replacement card (again) so i may purchase another video card from another manufacture. I have trouble shooted this from every possible option, to drivers, to over heating to even to much core clock speed. i have dropped the core over 100mhz usint ATI tool and set the fan speed to 98%, yet it still crashes 3dmark 06 and artifact in Team fortress 2, a very low end game!

Im not sure how you will go about doing it, but please, do your best to satisfy a very annoyed customer.

it doesn't matter what clock speed or drivers. it crashes no matter what and artifacts in tf2.

[erocker]

No, just a no signal on my monitor. VPU recovery didn't kick in either. I have a feeling I know which card is doing it, what's wierd is it's the cooler running card of the two, but it just can't handle anything apparently over 837mhz. I'm content with it now...:)

[ThatGuy16]

You get it fixed yet?

Look at this http://s151.photobucket.com/albums/s145/Coreyhm1/?action=view&current=DSCF2770.flv

My new issue, it doesn't happen all the time, but turning the monitor off and back on will fix it. Or minimizing and maximizing the game a few times. It only happens when i launch a 3D app, but not all the time. Only when the sceen flashes a couple times when you open a game, I'm thinking this is more monitor related though?

Nice score asb , was waiting for this !:toast:
Done any special mod to get that high or you just kept turning up the voltage?

you should get another card volt modded and oc that 6700 to 4ghz you might whoop my score then 23995 hehe.

[Dr. Spankenstein]

^^He plans to...

@ kup

they were Sapphire cards, my HIS can take volts all the way up to OCP which, IIRC is 1.9V.

@ The Haunted,

Just your standard hard mod. (Unless you did something I wasn't aware of Tony?)

[The Haunted]

Iv never gone higher than 1.75v, if your HIS can do 1.9v Mine too! ;)

[asb2106]

Already have a second running voltmodded :)

Just cant wait for the q6700 :)

OK, so I just ran a run with the cards @ 1030/1286.

The highest I can score is 21k. I ran the cards @ 900 just as a test, and I score 20800. So I think my cards are limited now by the proc. As crazy as it sounds I think I bottlenecked my CPU :)

So a q6700 @ 4ghz or higher should get me where I have been shooting for!!!

Got my q6700 for 299 at the egg, and it came with a free copy of UT3
Iv never gone higher than 1.75v, if your HIS can do 1.9v Mine too! ;)

Yah, I hit 1.9 and I get no boot :(

No more voltage higher than 1.6 for awhile though. That was scary!!!

Well ive had the crown long enough m8 its getting heavy time for somone to take it from me now so i wish you all the best.

[The Haunted]

I can't get benchmark stable clocks over 1080, even with 1.9v without getting a brown screen of death.
It still handle the atitool cube at 1121 mhz though...

well you may as well hang with the 3870s till the release of the 4800's, why not. Then you will have some decent graphics power. I wouldnt game with anything less that a 3870 anymore. Especially for the price :) 150 bucks is a low to mid range price. And I consider the 3870 to be a mid to high range card.

depending on what cooler you put on your card. what card was it? the his usually give the proper cooling system for it. if your just putting a diff fan on it then it most likely will mess up. i went through 3 his cards untill i found out that the only cooling i could change it out with was liquid.... im sticking with fan on my new HIS hd 3870 X2

Ok so here goes! i turned off my comp, pulled the card out, got my alcohol out, rubbed the tim off, applied some MX-2 and seating my TT duo orb. installed fine, (had a little issue, used the wrong nipples and it was a high on one side and low on the other) The card kept shutting down because the core kept overheating (this happened 3 times :o)

Installed the card, and heatsink, ran fur bench for 10min topped at 72c.

Now that i found my overclock to be stable, i can push it further then ever before, but not by much.

I used the 3DMark Vantage Hotfix 8.4 drivers for this run but they seem to have an impact on my score:

- Test 1 -> lower high FPS
- Test 2 -> lower low FPS
- Tests 3 and 4 -> didn't notice any difference
- Test 5 -> completely different, visually speaking
- Test 6 -> didn't watch it ...

I'm using Vista 64 with SP1.

EDIT

I had to increase my tRD in order to stabilize the OC: maybe that's why tests 1 and 2 behave like that.

Have to wait for my new board to bench properly. Should give acceptable results then, since i can run 918/1323 stable on stock voltages @ 50 degrees with stock heatsink now.

A Sapphire Dual Slot. This model is a replacement for the reference cards which went out of production in february. Sapphire SKU# is 11122-05. Its Heatsink looks like that on the 7900GTX, covers GPU and RAM and has three heatpipes. Fan is my avatar pic :-)

14117

I'm using Ati Tray Tools, tried Atitool first, but could't get my GPU higher than 864 MHz. Found out, this was caused by Atitools CPU-Load which draw about 130 Watts from my PSU. With ATT i ran artifactscan for 25 minutes at 918/1323. Haven't checked ingame yet, but will do for sure.

BIOS is 079 from Sapphire Toxic modded to 864/1251 atm.

Shame, shame, shame. Best unmodded card and least bench ever made on 3870. Maybe i'm getting the least score ever made on a formula too with my d940 tomorrow :-/

^^

Thanks man, I'm really pleased considering I'm in a Shuttle as well. Which memory are you talking about my main RAM (currently at 570MHz 3-3-3-8) or my GFX memory? Which is at 945MHz (1890).

Might have a fiddle with my main memory's timings. ^^ I'm using 2T as 1T isn't stable. :(

[DanishDevil]

I meant RAM. That's real decent for it. 1T is real tough. The only sticks I've ever had that ran 1T nicely were my old OCZ DDR. They did 2-2-2-5 1T smooth as butta.

Stay tuned for a screen @ 4.5...

now wait til i break 10k with my good ole p4 boxed!

maybe i have to tweak my new maximus formula 'til my case is melting, but nothing's gonna stop me now lol

PS see, there's no need for voltmods or aftermarket cooling at all, p4 boxed @ 3,8 with 1,2V and sapphire silent @ 918/1323 benchstable @ 45 degrees

[ThatGuy16]

Thats really not bad for a P4 :toast:

[Spirou]

The funny thing is, in games it runs much better than in benches.

CMR DiRT with an avg. of 45, Crysis avg. 28 everything high, with 4xAA, 8xAF, AAA, VSync and mipmap high in 1280*1024. My 3870 breaks 50 degrees now with my cpu at 3,8. Looks like 918/1323 is gamestable for more than an hour.

This gfx card seems to be the best thing i ever bought. Really not sure wether i'm going to voltmod one day.

EDIT: I really wonder how thermopylae_480 managed to get 8072 with same CPU clocked lower than mine on a 3850 @ 715/945 because i only got 8431 with my 3870 @ 918/1323. What's his secret? The other way round: what's wrong with my system?

[Raovac]

:D OK here's mine :toast:

Edit, had to resize pic :)

[Spirou]

WOOOOOAAAAAAAHHHH.... i'm infected, can't stop pushing my poor ole P4D :D

9420 with 264 MHz FSB x 16 = 4220 MHz boxed... going further with goggles, as long as there is no smoke coming out. Think i look like Dr. Spankensteins avatar now.

Sorry for posting so shortly after my last one, but i couldn't resist.

EDIT: tried a suicide run at 4500 MHz with my P4D on stock heatsink @1.5V, gaining 5 fps more in the first two tests but it throttled down reaching 75 degrees in third. Looks like i can't get past 9480 on P4 with boxed cooling :(

Thought I'd post my scores with my new beasties:


http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/3879/3m06wc9.jpg

specs (in case you can't read the pic):

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 3.8GHz

Crossfired HD3870 @ 850/1251 MHz


that crossfire score is a tad low as compared to what I expected, I think component and ambient temps have a bit to do with that . . . further tweaking will commence this weekend (it'd help if I could run this damn DDR3 above 1600MHz!!).

[Dr. Spankenstein]

Oh My, imperial!

I'm expecting GREAT things from you in the near future...

Oh My, imperial!

thanks! Hell, I had enough for a 3870x2, but after the HD4000 announcements, I had decided to wait for 4870x2 . . . then this deal came along, and hell, I couldn't pass up 2 HD3870 OC editions at $260 for the pair :D

and I still have half the savings left that will eventually go towards a 4870x2 later this year, and a new PSU. Crossfire X all the way! :rockout:

Still a little dissappointed at that 3m06 score at those speeds . . . needs more tweaking. <<I wonder what speeds I can get these 3870s to on their stock coolers . . >>

Planning liquid cooling for the CPU next month, so I'll be able to get this quad over 4GHz, and that'll drop ambient temps as well. Now if only I could get this DDR3 to accept speeds over 1600MHz, I'll be happy.

That, and if winter would hurry up and roll back around!

Looking at these screenshots... many of you guys are running XP and not Vista. Any particular reason any of you are not running Vista?

Xp yields better 3dMark06 scores and it works better with crossfire. At least up to the 8.4 cats.

[imperialreign]

vista sucks as far as audio is concerned - I like my audio hardware acceleration too much to give it up, and XP's ability to properly support it.


That, and I don't own a DX10 capable game that I feel is worth my time. Only DX10 game I own is Crysis.





hmmm . . . flashed both cards to 850/1251, although they bump themself back to 837 core. Did this because it seemed that in Crossfire, only one card was running at 850/1251, while the other was running at stock 800/1170 . . . this 3m06 score kinda confirms that in my mind:

http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/756/3m0602kl1.jpg




I was shooting for a 4GHz run, but couldn't boot to the desktop :ohwell: This rig would get as far as the bootup screen before crashing, and further vcore adjustment would net me a POST message "CPU overvoltage error" . . . meaning I might have to vmod this board to be able to reach 4GHz, and I'll defi need a better cooling solution on top of that.

But, there is hope for 4GHz, as the system was stable at 450MHz BUS at x8 multi:

http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/9454/cpuzqn5.jpg


. . . stable enough to even make a 3m06 run - but scored very high 17000 at the lower CPU speed. I wonder, though, if these cards are already peforming 100% and are just scaling with the CPU . . . would make sense with both cards running PCIEx16 2.0 . . . any thoughts?

It just throws that error when you get above a certain voltage, period. Mine happens above 1.6V actual. You can get rid of that message by going to the Hardware Monitor page in your bios, going down to the cpu voltage, selecting it, and set it to ignored. All apps will still read the voltage an everything, it just gets rid of bios monitoring.

thanks, I'll check that out later, as I haven't ventured into hardware management except to turn Q-Fan and that crap off.

If that's the case, I might just be able to get the CPU to slap 4GHz on air, at the very least boot to the desktop. Temps permitting, of course . . .

still, though, 3.8GHz at 425 BUS so far ain't bad, 3.6GHz at 450 BUS is decent as well - I'll be happy as hell if she will run 4GHz at 450 BUS. I figure I'm still quite away from hitting the limits of this proc . . . I just need better cooling (next month). :D
