Well get some decent air clocks/scores with the 8800GT first, ya know? Backup scores incase you kill the card. After that, phase it.

Oh, I fear that I cannot compete.  I am struggling to reach 800MHz core with 1.2v.  Are you doing more than air?  My core temp is staying around 60c on air with an aftermarket air cooler, but the card wants more voltage.  I am afraid to give it too much voltage since it only has two phases.  I suppose I will gain some more nerve as time goes on once I get the basic benchmarks finished. 

 
Never did air.  I booted to make sure it worked, modded it, and went straight to LN2.  You're doing great with 800 core with air cooling.
 
Zorch it!

Oh, the memory on this 8800GT sucks.
 
I got lucky with a couple of benches at 771/1890/994 but now I am stuck at 771/1890/929

Q56:  Two issues with 9400GT on phase:
 
1) Cold bug.  GPU performance drops if the card gets too cool.
 
2) Can't overclock the card over 1000Mhz core.  Drivers seem to stop it at 1000Mhz.
 
Any ideas?
 
I have been doing phase on my CPU for a while (way easy), but I wanted to get some experience with phase on a video card with my 9400GT before I step up to phase on the 8800GT.

Ok, Im going to ask this question here...
When benching 3dmark06...
If I bench just gpu test 3/4 i get a nice score, but if i run the cpu test then into test 3/4 i loose 1000 points. This is happening with my nvidia cards. Can anyone else test this. Thanks.

Last I rememeber SAMSUNG was the better Brand of ram.
 
Nice to see folks breaking out of the comfort zone and doing some Voltmods.  Seems to be a shortage of PICS THOUGH?!?

I didn't check the brand of memory.  I bought it used with an aftermarket air cooler and memory heatsinks already installed.
 
Pics... yeah...
 
7600GT below zero

Didn't overclock worth crap
 
Only picture I have of 8800GT with volt mod

Next plan: Phase change
 
9500GT below zero

Meh... card is a great performer, but going below zero hasn't helped much yet
 
Brr... 9400GT

Frosty.

Guys, please compare my 9400GT benchmark to this other person's 9400GT benchmark and tell me what you think.

His:

How can it be that he has a higher score?
 
Why does he have no picture and no verification URL?

Cold bug is common on 9000 series.  Can't go colder than -50C max, if I remember correctly.  I don't have a 9400GT, but are you saying you can't get software to set above 1000 core?

Yes, canyon and deep freeze do that.  And gpu test #2 will be higher if you don't run proxycon first....damn benches  It happens with my ATI cards too.
