saweet!  Thats on water alone?  man you really should look into building a chiller.

red light?  I am trying to remember.  I haven't benched since last winter I don't think.  Not since the 980x & 400 series came out.

gah i need some 2000grit sand papper and 2500 grit.... the 1200 i have just wont make it shiny ><
 

Halo_003

Just plain water right now, I'd like to get 800+ core but dunno if I can, when I put it to 802 with 1225mV it just shut down instantly at 3d load.

Halo, the 295 will go past 800 core, but you'll need 1300mv to hold her steady.  And not any more, or less, just 1300.  I have no experience with afterburner on the 295.  Use precision, it works.

Hmm I think I'm PSU limited. It hates me. It's a ABS Tagan BZ1100. Functions fine but I have a feeling it's my second/main issue, next to the mobo. Need to get my R3E sometime and get off this 758.
 
@ Q with 1300 it shuts down instantly, GPU test 1 will load but as soon as it should start running 3d, boom. Lights out. 

Don't have one Nate.

hey ty_ger...did you ever get that 1600 mhz ram for your laptop?

I might do some vmod research. I am sure I can figure out some way to pencil mod it.

Sorry for the second post. For some reason this forum doesn't let me edit my posts any more now that hey made it 'cell phone friendly'. :S

Well, my max stable overclock stayed about the same. I lose stability at around a 155 Mhz base clock regardless of if I use 1333Mhz or 1600Mhz memory. This places my memory around 1550Mhz.

The odd thing is how it falls on its face. It seems perfectly stable at one sppeed, but a 0.5 Mhz base clock increase will cause it to fall flat on its face whether under load or idle. It doesn't act like a core instability or a memory instability. PCI-E? QPI?

So i have a long weekend, so i am reinstalling my OS on my main rig to clean it up some. I also plan to install some bench OS's on a seperate hdd. A few questions though.
 
1. With my current setup, my hdds are in Raid 1 in the normal sata ports (black ones). Whenever i crashed from OC'ing, the raid would break and i would have to wait all day for it to fix. If i put the 2 hdds in Raid on the red ports (jmicron, correct?), would they not f-up if i crashed? Also would i still need to dl IRST (Intel rapid storage tech)?
 
2. I plan to install multiple bench OS's. Should i install each of them on their own hdd, or would be ok to partition a bigger hdd for multiple OS's (probably 4)? Thinking performance wise for the normal benches (3dmark all, superpi, wprime, etc.)
 
3. To be able to select my OS upon boot, i have install OS's from oldest to newest, correct? What about if i install multiple copies of 1 OS, ex. XP pro 32 and 64?

Well the 2 hdds in RAID 1 are for my everyday OS. I will have 1 seperate hdd for my bench OSs. Also, i already have a ton of different OSs stripped; got them from someone on XS, and they are already what i use on my full time benching rigs.

well in 2 hours i should have a GTX8800 being shipped to me and in about 5 hours i should have a 8800ultra tehee

All ready to go.  Saturday's the day...maybe a little Friday night.

SWEEEEEEEEEEET Q!!
 
Good luck!

try voltage. that's what the main problem would be.
and i think i had kingston memory 1333 up to 1620 or so before. ill see what it does when i get my laptop back later this week.

I have to take the motherboard out to see the rest of the board.  I have narrowed it down to the side facing the keyboard and the general location, but ....  ... do I really want to do this?  I'll decide tomorrow.

Default is 1.029v under load according to the multimeter.  There is a huge vdroop though.  Default idle voltage is 1.19v.  If I could find out more information on the circuitry, I would try to do a vdroop mod instead.

your doing good...i took a look at mine and that ic chip is way to small to do anything with..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
