Do you have any intel stock heatsinks laying around? I've seen people use those for ghetto modded gpu cooling(on older cards with a small core), and they actually worked pretty well.

Yeah that's what I did. It worked reasonably well. Dropped my temps a bunch, but when I tried to run 01, it would do like 40-50 fps for the first few seconds, then go black. The whole time for the rest of the test. So I said screw it. I'ma work on Vantage.

*Shudders with frustration*

I can run 695/linked/1140 24/7 on stock voltage.. But it takes 1175mV to run 738/linked/1240.. lol. I can't wait to get off air.

modrigs is starting to become a joke. glad i got my placeholder way back when..
how can someone get a number one with no evga parts???

This isn't the first time he's done that....I don't know why he insists on posting his ati cards on a nvidia ranking.  I personally wouldn't have a problem if it was a non-evga nvidia card, but ati......come on!  

Wait a minute, it may not be his fault....in the past, modsrigs would not post a score unless it had a gpu description of "evga".  Usually they slip by when another evga gpu is listed, but is not used for the run.  That's not the case here....he has no evga parts, so the modsrigs algorithm is faulty.

We do, he doesn't....

Sorry reggie... had to take ya down a notch ;)

Was going to make a go of it but this 8800gtx is way too hot to run with stock cooling. Its default voltage is 1.3v and idles at 55 gunna have to get it colder.

I was gunna go to bed now I kinda feel like I should try to keep up. I still have some tricks up my sleeve. I gotta get some quick disconnects for my cards. To hard to switch blocks in and out over, and over.

tonight hasn't been very productive... some reason my computer is on strike tonight

Isn't it strange how one day all runs great and another all conditions etc seemingly the same, yet things don't work as well or at all. Makes me wonder what could be interfering. Noise? Sun spots? Dirty electricity? Humidity? Or just not holding your face right? Its Hal 9000.

Seems no one cares about modsrigs anymore....there's also a guy taking up 6th place with a QX6850 & 9800+, LOL.  At least HWbot addresses the issue quickly when a fraudulent score is reported......not here...

I have and improved my vantage score.

Yea got me a silver with same exact settings that had me fourth place. I cant seem to get past another 03 run for the life of me though. Yea your chips clock great. I cant run mine past a 221bclk. I can do superpi runs at 223 but no vantage

xfx 5850 xxx I had to flash the bios to the asus bios so that I could. The clocks xfx gave me only let me oc to 800 core??? If you dont have a block for the card I wouldnt get carried away though. Make sure you use gpuz to monitor the temps of all the sensors the vddc phase temps are out of control if your block isnt making good contact.

The silver cup I got was with 1.425 vcore

Yea afterburner has a whole thread dedicated to that let me see if I can find it, one last thing did you try asus smart docor?

Yes, and could only adjust down from default 1.16 or what ever it is.

could be...because even if i add voltage...it seems to do worse...ill have to seriously check that out in a bit.

humm, im running a test at 1050/1300 test 2 gpu vantage....


edit: and the max voltage was 1.350 not 1.375..my mistake.
