Yes but the 4890 is not Crossfired. Only 5750s. ATI CCC only see's the 5750s but for some reason when I ran Aqua it would ramp the 4890 up. Not sure why. I just moved the jumper on my ECP to disable.

speaking of 5750's. congrats on those scores! very nice!

Well, I just hit 356.458 fps but I can't get it to screen capture for me.
 
NM. Got it fixed. Score submitted.

well i figure this is the place to ask this question. since i have pawned off my gtx 295's and have nothing else better to do this weekend i was going to run benchmarks for hwbot with my 9800gt and possibly my 9600gt.  well i did some trial runs a few days ago with my 9800gt on 3dmark01 with a gpu clock of 756/1782/1107 the card is a single slot so temps are my worst enemy; but i was wondering if it would be better to run 3dmark01 with just one cpu core w/o HT or to run all 4 with HT since the max i have been able to push my cpu so far within reasonable voltages is about 4.6ghz with all four. and ill be upgrading my loop this weekend to include a hwlabs black ice gtx 480 and a hwlabs 280 on top of the 3x120mm rad i already have installed so temps shouldn't be a problem for the cpu anymore.

I tried playing around with one core, my system didnt like it. I think if you are benching at 4.6 your not doing so bad. Never actually ran any tests but I have to assume that 8 threads would be better than 2, or even 1. If you can keep your temps down and run at 4.8 or above with one core then you might want to try. Like I said one core gave me no free ghz. Hey just watch your temps and see for yourself. Im not running a classy maybe it will be easier for you. Make sure to submit cpuiz score if you boot with one core real high.

Thought you guys would like to see this. We been busy little bees in the past 30 days looks like.
 
 

yes...we have...we have the fever for the moment...

my temps really are not a problem at all at 4.6 i have hit 80c or so with prime 95. i just don't know if the program recognizes more than 1 or 2 threads if not then i should be able to hit 4.8 or higher fairly easily with just one or two cores.  highest clock i have been able to boot with has been 220*21 might be able to get higher if i change the pci-e clock but anything above 102 my ethernet ports stop working

Sounds pretty hot. Trust me unless you are going for a cpuiz max overclock I would not go any higher untill you can get it colder. I break alot of things and learn stuff the hard way, cpu gets a little warmer during a vantage run than a p95 blend test will get it. As far as your cpu goes maybe you have reached your limit. 4.6 is fine to bench with if your stable just work on your gpu clocks for the moment.

Considering there's only 5 or 6 of us really doing anything (not mentioning Jacob ), we're not doing half bad really.

yes...i talked to jacob the other day as a matter of fact...told him to get crackign "mr team leader"...i see he hasn't gotten around to that part yet...
