I have mentioned that in my other post, 1.775 Vcore, and 2.85 Vdimm. Higher voltage of course is used to get you more frequency. If you'reu clocked higher of course you'll get a better score in benchmarks. But your components generate a sh*tload more heat.

I switched the voltages to what you said and it didn't make a bit of difference. My scores were roughly the same. Do you think my motherboard is below par?

LOL, no voltage increase of course doesn't help, increasing voltage allows higher overclock. Clock your CPU at 3.5G Overclock your video card if you want. that'll help your 3dmark.

lol....yeah, I didn't think the ol' voltages would increase performance, but ya never know....so how did you melt your last CPU scott? Last time I checked you had it running at 3.4. What happened?

Liar, it was at 1.7 the whole time, clocked at 3.6G, then it just died.

True, but this new one's crappier. I'm thinking about buying a 2.8C now, i want to see the overclockability on those things.

from what I've read, you're best bets are the 2.6's and the 2.4's. All the "c's" are the same chips with different multiplier settings so they all seem to top out at the same speed - roughly 3.51Ghz. Just luck of the draw to which ones go further. Also depends on the cooling. I'd push mine further than 3.25Ghz but after losing $140 in shipping charges, insurance, and restocking fees, I'm done. If I can find someone to buy my video card, I'd be estatic.

Krazynuts it isn't all the same anymore, Intel did something with their new batches, so now I'm thinking about selling my 2.6C, and get the 2.8C or 3.0C Maybe use the SLK900U as video card cooler, and maybe spend another 800 get a Chipcon Prometia.

I guess that makes sense since they had to be losing money on their higher clocked chips. That sucks.

Yo KrazyNutz, you have mail at Yahoo dude! 😉

How are you gonna brace it?! That'll snap the PCB the second you let go! (well, maybe a few seconds later)

maybe spend another 800 get a Chipcon Prometia.

Sweet, but what about vapochill (or is it the same thing)?

I find it amazing that you are upset about only hitting 3.276GHz on a 2.6....especially when my 2.66GHz becomes unstable at 2.72 (stupid unlocked AGP/PCI bus)!!!! Oh well, with a good 3.0 and your RAM (that hits 272MHz IIRC) you can hit 4.08GHz *craps pants* (Buhatma hits 4.1 with his 3.2 and a Prommy, and knowing you, you could probably even get more). 515/1000 shouldn't be too far out of your range with the SLK900U and a good *cough*Tornado*cough* fan. Good luck man...


Oh yeah, is there someway to voltmod (that doesn't involve going to Radioshack) my Ti4400?? I have good cooling (I think, if not I'll get better cooling, like the Zalman [gotta do something with birthday and Christmas money]) and am sick of 300MHz core (friggen R42X and NV40 better get their asses in stores!!).

Damn Rambus.
 
I'm thinking about the 3.0C now, since it's 40 dollars more t han 2.8C and 2.8C is 60 dollars more than the 2.6C With Prometia I'm pretty sure I could run the CPU at -20C.

My video card won't break, like i said i rebuilt my computer, so it's just lying on my table, therefore my AGP slot doesn't need to support any weight. I'm just going to put something under the heatsink on the motherboard, to support it. I think I could cool it passively, actually maybe i'll use a Zalman 92mm fan. I want to see if i could crank 550mhz out of the 5900 without nVidia turning my speed back down.

Forgot about that...damn, and I thought there was some easy way to add that much weight.

You probably could cool it passively, especially at stock speeds. As for hitting 550, that might be tough, even with a Tornado (unless you can get more voltage at the chip).

Damn Rambus.
 
I hit 530mhz with the cooling I have now, AMD 2500+ stock cooler.

Geeze...you have the sickest rigs! You've also been one lucky b@stard (minus that latest 2.6C)!! I changed my mind then, 550MHz is attainable.

Damn Rambus.
 
yo Big Al, I never realized my email was screwed up in my profile. It's benchmarker76@yahoo.com. Forgot the 76 when I entered it. Try again! Sorry!

If i buy another 2.4C then I'm going to use 5:4 ratio even though my ram can reach 276mhz, but i'm gonna use 330FSB on the CPU. I'm looking at the 3.0C right now, going to try and see how much I could sell my 2.6C.

Well I don't see why I can't reach 550mhz, since Gainward's 5900 defaults at 550mhz/1050mhz.
