More cooling for a x1900xtx

[sojrner]

I am currently hovering around 54-5500 in '06 depending on the time of day and planet alignment...

Word on the street is that the dual core cpu's fare better in this scoring and affect that final score alot which could account for that lower score... is yours a single core proc? If it is then no worries mate and your score is good... if not then lots 'o worries... lol.

Ive had a go with overclocking the X1900XTX, and this time you have to overclock the 3d speeds cos the 2d ones are so low that bumping them up causes system crashes. Might be better arter I get some arctic silver on there (Arctic accelero wont fit with the case side fan in the way).

My XTX seems to max out at 700/828, which is a bit sucky since there meant to have 1.1ns ram.

I used to be able to get my X1800XT to 729/846 with a few artifacts cos of the ram. Running the ram on XTX at 846mhz is artifact free, maybe signifying that they do have better ram, but getting one that will OC well is a case of luck.

My new futuremark scores:
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=192280 - 6282 in 06
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1886917 - 11909 in 05.

Edit - YES! Got the mem to 846mhz, stable + artifact free wiwth 2.2v. Trying for 855mhz now, but the screen corrupted @ 2.25v.

I'll stop there for now untill I remove the HSF to put some arctic silver on and can check the ram to make sure its 1.1ns. Does anyone know the rated voltages for 1.1ns GDDR3 please?
