Read my e-mail...saw futuremark's monthly newsletter and was surprised to see me listed as a top 20 all time submission for vantage performance preset (#19).  Man look at #1 with 5870's!  I guess that's "the" card right now.

Wow, i had no idea.  Maybe I should look at that once in awhile.  But, how can that be?  I know plenty more '06 scores better than mine...how can I be #4?  I mean I'm #6 on Modsrigs.  Is it by account?  Only your best can be listed...and only FM approved drivers....  Humm, I still can't believe #4!

Great job guys...you know, I never ran high or entry presets..

Awalleye...just out of curiosity, what make is the 5870.  I'm thinking of going with MSI or ASUS next time around.

XFX card.
  Where is x-cool jumper? Do not see it in the manual.

Just out of curiosity are any of you guys experiencing the turbo dropping out when hitting -45 and below
its driving me crazy its happening only on my 920 (both of them)(classy 760)

and i can't seem to find any thing about it else where!!!!

Ha ha John thanks
yeah it all boots fine i can boot in at -70 no probs but turbo is not on (even if its enabled in BIOS)
then if i run the system and warm it up to around -45 -35 turbo kicks in and away i go
but i need to keep it around -45 to use it, i then start the bench, drop the ice in cool it down and hopefully turbo stays engaged most cases it does but its a juggling act i can do with out.

            Thanks Sniper. Moving xcool jumper sets cpupll to 1.8 overrides my setting iohpll auto is still 1.8. CPU temp says -47 (its not) Going to see if does anything to run mem any faster  can run at 2300 or so already. And if I use eleete to change cpupll (bios does not change setting) system freezes.

yeah Thanks John it could be something to do with speed step i might play around that cheers

yeah awalleye you can't trust the temps on the board....... u playing with dice?  i like your mem speed i'm jalousie

-45, man I wish.  I'm at +25!

Can't help you there.

When working with Extreme Cooling, Startup temps when jumper is set needs to be -20 or lower. If my temps were warmer than -20c I would experence boot problems. If I let the Vapo chill down to coldest temp then boot was no problem. Also setting Cpu latency and QPI compensation to Less also allowed for easier booting with extreme low temps.

i think the highest i could get stable was 1065/1350
make that 
1055/1360

Try enabling C6. Under normal cooling it will sometimes give you the x22 multiplier, so it might help here.

I just woke up this morning after having turned off my computer last night and left my window open. This is what I woke up to. Wasnt to bench or anything though. These temps are a good 12c lower than what they normally are during the day 55f in my room when I woke up!!

anyone playing in the gigabyte competion?? im having a little trouble getting the gma hd grapics clocks to show up so i cant change them anywhere any ideas???
