Ha I've unlocked my VT so I can go to 2000mV.

Let me know if you can get over 1313mV

Need a pot or block to keep the temps in check for that. Can't load over 96C on GPU 1 or it crashes. Such a shame, 1200mV used to load @ 90C in IL. In FL 1163mV loads that high. Need money for tek 9, but when I get it I will let you know.

How do 3dMark tests load the proc temp-wise, compared to linX?

Just thinking a bit, as i need to get my i7 up some more if i want to get some nice bench scores with the 295, 8800gtx, and 9800gt. Right now it's at 4ghz, 1.35vcore, idles at 50*C on a bad day, 43*C on a good day, and on full load linX it is around 80-90*C once it gets into it.

I'm hoping to get to at least 4.4ghz bench stable.

never ran linux but it sounds like it will be around the same, Im pretty sure both tests put a 100 percent load on your cpu

heh... rookie :P 

@reggie: just ran some Vantage cpu tests. I am getting around 75*C, so a little less that linX.

Is it better for 3dMark (any of them) to run w/o HT and higher speed or with HT and lower speed?

You'll be able to reach a higher OC for sure than doing Linux runs. I would stay with Vantage as your CPU test for stability that should set the bar for the other 3D tests.

Vantage cpu test 1 is the tougher than '06.  There are no specific cpu tests on 05/03/01 so you can usually get away with much higher clocks on thoses.

YOu need to be up 4.4Ghz to start pushing the gpus and getting good scores

+1
4.4 to 4.6
to get some nice numbers.

Wow nobody else noticed?

I was just getting ready to post the 200th page.  I was waiting more for the 6000th post, but figure that will happen whilst I sleep.
