3DMark06 Scores...Amazing...Part 2

[OvrClkr]

Please post your best 06score here. Trying to see what setups work the best.

Here is my best at 3.6Ghz :

3.85Ghz :

Ryan closed videl's thread so i decided to re-open 😉


Much appreciated

CPU bottleneck

yep, but still kind of embarrasing since the total of the 295 + i7 920 is over 650.00$, of course once you bump up the clocks on the 920 it's a whole different story..

I was just expecting a higher score for such a setup...

 

[Rustyy117]

yeah just goes to show how CPU demanding 3DM06 is

 

[OvrClkr]

would be nice to see how Thuban scores in 06, anyone got a date?

 

[nrnx]

Nice!

i think my system May be the weakest here lol.....you all and your I5/7s lol..quad cores lol..

One thing I've learned on this thread is that OC'ing is a hobby, and is fun with any system. It's all about getting the most out of what you have.

True. I find it really fun to see how the next Mhz is going to make to make a difference. ^_^ Even though im stuck at what i have because of Mobo limits fault on my end.

i forgot to update my temps lol.. Those were with the Intel Cpu cooler.. This is what the Zalman cooler Idel 28c Load 45c

 

[Rustyy117]

man 4.5Ghz just isnt happening for a bench run : / even with 1.50000Vcore I wanted 27K ! 🙁 maybe ill try on XP 😛

 

[OvrClkr]

I get about 1k more (give or take) when using XP vs. Win 7

 

[Rustyy117]

yeah ive seen that the CPU score increases a fair few hundred points....might be worth a go.....I'm not using any more Vcore thats for sure.

what temps are you getting at your highest overclock?

 

[Rustyy117]

well at 4ghz HT on turbo off under OCCT im getting 59 57 58 50 with 1.28750V Have to sort out the large difference in temps between the cores and use some better thermal paste, using some thermalright "chill factor" ATM.

Havent tryed running any stability tests at anything higher than 4ghz, anything above 4ghz is just for benching.

I dont dare run OCCT with 1.50000V :lol: even under water

Who would?

 

[cncmasterw]

Moving my files to my Second Hard Drive going to reformat and reinstall Windows 7. Going to try some things to see if i can get it back up and running. been having internet problems. Shrugs. Going to see if a fresh install will give me a few extra Points. Via 3Dmark 06.

I fixed my temp issues, reseated the HSF to be safe, and when I took it off, there was a huge area (about 1/3rd) of the chip that had only the smallest amount. I think I sat the HSF down at an angle and when tensioning the clamps, may have pushed it mostly to one side. I did a more thorough job in spreading out the AS5 with the credit card method this time, and first time booting it up, idle temps have dropped a solid 6c, down to 29c. I bought a tube of MX-2, but when I saw how bad the tim had spread, I decided to give AS5 another shot. Worst case scenario I have to reseat it again, but next time won't have a curing period, heh.

 

[cncmasterw]

maybe his temps are good.. But could be better. Shrugs?

those temps are great considering the clock. Have you tried monitoring your temps with everest/speedfan/HwM?

 

[OvrClkr]

Who would?

overshocked would :lol:

 

[cncmasterw]

overshocked would :lol:

lol. dont they do that stuff for a living?

 

[Rustyy117]

No but i should, im using CoreTemp, I previously used Real-Temp but for some unknown reason it wont load anymore...

I think some quality thermal paste will help bring the temps down another 2-3C I might try some Indigo Xtreme
Some phase change magic 😀

 

[OvrClkr]

The Indigo is way to $$ for what you get (2 applications), I guess if you have cash to burn it is worth a try.. Im fine with MX-2 or the Gelid Extreme =)

Try Everest whenever you get a chance.. the cool thing about Everest is that it will give you ALL your temps (NB/SB/MOBO/CPU/GPU/probes) etc...

 

[Rustyy117]

Yeah its a neat program for sure. Your right about the Indigo, its alittle harsh as you have to melt the Indigo by running your PC with your CPU Fan/pump off for the CPU to reach 100C so to melt the Indigo into a liquid.....Not sure if im comfortable with that.

I'll run OCCT tomorrow and monitor with everest and report back the results.

I find it funny. Because I can have my Cpu cooler fan off. and Still never reach higher then 48c DOES that say something?

Finished the Install of win 7 was Oddly Quick. Hmm..
