ParoxysM Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 This is where I'm at currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 This is with a room temp of 71.5'F My ATI x1900XTX is running stock at gpu 648, mem 774. Running ATI Catalyst 6.6 and Overdrive keeps crashing, so maybe I'll run it again when I update to newer Catalysts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Why do you have your HTT so low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 HTT on cpu-Z seems to be the same as HTT source on GCPUID. My mem is still not optimized... but then I just got my 700w power supply and installed, so I could put it back up to 2.8. It seems the severe OC was what was killing the P/S's. Speaking of, your vid card seems to have a MUCH lower idle temp than mine, you running stock cooling? If so, what is the room temperature?

If you look at the pic his Vid is not OC'd the sliders are just moved up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 I have stock cooling on the card, and the fan casing is actually cracked (was shipped that way). My room (basement) temp is 55F-60F. I installed a fan controller attaching the CPU and back 120s, but I generally don't increase the speed. I took a screenshot of my 3D settings while in 2D, so obviously it's not going to be the current speed. I can set the speeds higher than CCC allows with another util, but I dont receive that much more fps to be worth it. I have to update my sig when I get home as my 3dmark scores went up. Funny story - I benched my system before installing 2x512MB Corsair XMS (that was laying around from previous computer), then had to change my memory timing in order to boot. My benchmarks were almost 40% lower going from 2GB @ 1T to 3GB @ 2T, so I remove the sticks and set the timings back. I rebenched and scores were a lot higher, but nothing else changed. For example 3DMark2005 I scored 10030 before and 11940 after, 19% higher!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParoxysM Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 It gets as high as 92C with a max OC, currently about 86C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurSuiT Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Not quite as high on 3dmark2006 but close, that is with my card OC'd using OverDrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, darn nice considering the price you paid for that card!!! What clocks you getting with Overdrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurSuiT Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 633/797 Bench's I have seen in CF mod getting 8500 to 9000, also I did not keep my card at that as I had to have my side panel off just to keep the case cool. So I can see it over heating after about an hour or so of gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 What vid card you running? I was getting 9100+ with CF 1800s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurSuiT Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 x1950Pro, thinking about ordering another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurSuiT Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 have to wait until I get home, as I tested that the first night I got it and up the pic, was going to post a thread that night but never did. I would also like to raise my CPU back to 2.4Ghz and try it, should get me 100 to 200 more overal points as looking at my old bench's on futuremarks website my CPU score was 1780 when I was OC'd to 2.4.
