See that big fan? Yeah, thats sitting in a window cell with the window wide open

That run didnt pan out, my GPU didnt want to put out the FPS that it should have been doing. I was getting GPU scores that were 20.5k when they should be 21.7k.

I bought my kneaded eraser finally though, so I got that to work on now

Starting to work on insulating my DFI board as i type this...

Rudster, the fan is blowing the wrong way.  Blow the air at the back of the card, not the front.  And take the fan screen off, you'll get better air velocity

Remember I said I had 1 crappy 295 that never went above 800/1200?  I know the ram still stunk, but I wonder if this had anything to do with the crappy gpu clocks:




The GPU temps were just fine according to precision, but the ram on the boards wouldn't go past 1200 either and ram timings make ALL the difference in the world!

that would have a lot to do with things....

check me out now...i moved up to 11th place 5970...i was on a world recored run when i ran out of dice...crashed at the last few seconds...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!



edit:

see how it's dry...is that where the ram chips are? meaning up above and to the right and left?
if so..means your ram wasn't covered tightly enough as well. you only need to look at the pads and see if they are all indented deep or light or not at all....

hey are the AMD processors good for anything on the bot im looking at buying an ati set up but i cant seem to find anything that they are good at :S
