To close the thead: I found lowering DRAMv resolved the issues.

Will give working the voltages to see where that gets me first. As I stated i have seen not only higher speeds with the 860, but also with G.Skill. Unfortunately with so many variations it would be impossible to make straight comparisons to the exact model RAM I have. I have been researching it...

I am looking to get a consensus on whether it would be wise, or beneficial, to change my memory in order to achieve higher overclocks on my i7-860 machine. This could be in regards to efficiency, longevity or overall performance (from a higher attainable memeory speed perspective) I currently...

Being as a month has gone by since you posted this, you no doubtedly have your system together, but I feel everyone is entitled to the common courtesy of a response & I may be able to offer some helpfull info. I am not inclined to offer advice on things I am not familiar with but I have a fair...

Is that card running the 50's BIOS? I keep forgetting I have the dual bios with the 70 shaders. I notice 200 points better in 3DMark11 with my alternate bios active. I managed to get it up to a P5725 on 4Ghz and running the GPU@840Mhz and the RAM at 1325Mhz. The jump in voltage does not give it...

They are not that bad but I would expect to see a higher result from an I5-2500 machine depending on settings... Your physics score indicates that the GPU and RAM portions are slowing you down. Here is a thread I started relating to something I saw running Mark11 and PC MArk. I see your scores...

I did some modifications and ran some more tests. Here was the best combo so far... http://3dmark.com/3dm11/2405986 That is at a lower CPU Clock, Higher RAM to ~1500mhz (simply used OC genie) 825GPU/1325RAM In a few of the tests it showed the GPU clock correctly. So it must be something when...

It's peculiar as to why it sees the correct speed on some apps and not others, that's weird. For kicks I may try reloading the original Sapphire driver. To my recolection it didn't have the note on GPU clock, but that could be just a revision thing, if there is no change then I will just...

I built a new PC with a Dirt 3 Sapphire HD6950 (dual FAN/dual Bios) (see specs below) and I ran 3DMark11 and PCMark 7. Both are showing way low FPS for my combination (p5039/ 3043 respectively). My physics score is real good for comparable systems I have found, so why the low FPS Here are my...

You guys are all corect... The hd is now in the oem tower, it wil go into my new tower as soon as I partion it when the OS shows up tomorrow. After that, it may come out, it may not. I wil certainly give the option of different drives to interested people. The drive is the easy part...

This drive will not come out of my HAF tower until I sell the OEM tower. I posted this on the windows live forum & a moderator said it is pretty straight forward. Partition it, swap drive to new tower, load the OS, drivers & done. It will automaticaly asign that partition to that system as C:\...

I have two towers right now, one is a gateway and the other is a custom tower but using the same processor & drives. For now I would like to have them be able to share the same hdd but have only one partition side work on it's corresponding tower, which does not violate the MS lisc. The win 7...

I found a good deal on a 2Gb HD 6950 Dirt 3 card. This would be going into a 6840-03e, any forseen problems or should I jump on it?

So far I like the idea of going to the better card... I like the idea of a 256-bit card in place of 2x 128-bits. (Less energy useage and better performance) I looked at the 6850/70 and the 6950/70 and I am thinking that I should sell the card that came in the tower and the new powercoler hd...
