yep. just need to go back and pick up a few gpus and re test them...i see awalleyeguy is over there trying to use his 980x to barely skirt by me on the gt240..lol
might have to go borrow one of those tomorrow and get my trophies back real quick like.lol

I really was just seeing if the 980 could put the 240 over the top since the 240 does not o/c worth a s***.
Also I don't have a video card that o/c well at all right now.
Seems a lot of the ATI 5000 series suck (at least mine). The only one that worked well was the 5770 that Reggie bought.
Got a MSI lighting 5870 on its way. We'll see how that does.

Mine overclocks just fine. Does 1050mhz+\1311mhz :D

Just needs a wall separating the outside cylinders and the internal design. I thinking you could keep the majority of the pot at your CBB and the interal at your CB. Then when you have to cold boot, it will heat up quicker. At least in theory.

say nate...dont you have an e series cpu you want to send to your best friend in california??

I actually have an E8400 at my job which I would like to "borrow" and install it in my 790i and see how much I can tear it up.  It is sitting in a dell, so I don't know if it is a good batch, but I'll still rack some sort of points up in the 2d benches.

i think im gonna get a 775 board and a e8600 and just hold on to it for benching purposes.
or
how is the i3 or i5 stacking up???

maybe go that route instead.


also looking at grabbing a 480x, since the 980x isn't making the big jump as i thought it would....probably just wait for the lessor to come out and grab one of those.

Drop your cherry 295 in there and tear up 01 too

+1. That'd be fun.

the only bench wolfdale still holds on to is 01, i5 and i3 are very strong in 2d benches but they are slower clock for clock compared to bloomfield and gulftown.

gulftown would probably be a better choice since it can do everything but 01, provided you have the right cooling.

Does he have the right cooling?

Do I have the right cooling?

I read you'll have to wait until the end of the year for that....and it'll be $500....and it's still just a rumor.  Yea, I don't know about the 980x...I'll find out when I get it colder.

What's a 480x?
