I think many of you know what I mean..
I think I'm gonna go and get a Zalman heatpipe... Just cause I like to blow money on that sorta thing ya know?;)
I see a believer/convert here, HeHeHe!:D But, really, it does work (from my experience with the older ZM80A-HP), I've always thought that the Zalman vpu cooler is a unique innovation : large surface area to help dissipate heat and now with the addition of a fan, it can only get better!;) :D Ya know, ever since I joined Sharky's, I've spent a bomb (more like a nuclear bomb! :p ) on components trying to score higher. I'm going broke here (and it doesn't help with the V man egging me on! :p :D HeHe! Just j/k V man!:D ) This 'pissing contest' can get expensive :eek: *looks at my bank balance, burst into uncontrollable sobs*Quote:

Your scores with links: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6819417 (13,582)
Puts me from #49 to #48 :eek:. Next stop #47!
And I think the review section is a great idea! I would like to see some reviews from PPL here at sharkys.
And a quick question vertices. Using rage 3d tweak, it only lets me oc my memory to 324mhz. How do I go about getting some more room to oc my memory?
Thanks
And to answer your question:
Use Regedit:
Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Game Util\ATI Radeon Overclocker. Change one or more of the following:
UpperCoreX
LowerCoreX
UpperMemX
LowerMemX
They are multiplied by the defaults to get the ranges.
So you can increase UpperCore and Uppermem by like .3 each and you will get MUCH higher clockage capability.

ever since my quest for 20k hit.. ive spent a ton of money.. i mean new vid card, new ram, gone through 3 different motherboads, its really been crazy (keep in mind, ive returned all the computer parts, so no i don't have 3 motherboards laying around).. but once you hit that 20k.. ohh man.. does it feel good.. i feel like i'ma OVERCLOCKING GURU!! i mean not only i'm i top 5, in 3dmarks, but 1# for overclocking my vid card.. lol well worth it.. well worth the money! hahaha man talk about getting bitten by the computer bug!Quote:

And Vertices, thanks for the tip! I needed some more memory oc on my 9500p.
The man himself shows up! I know what you mean Pyro, I've been playing the crap out of Warcraft3 lately. My PC is all perfectly put together and show room ready. Office is cleaned up and looking good. I'm not benching too much and I've not spent quite as much time here as I usually do lately.:) I know how it is.
sharkypinoy~~My list of dead hardware in the last 6 months and what I paid for it.
1. Epox 4PEA+ i845PE mobo ($150)
2. P4 2.66ghz Retail ($300)
3. Radeon 9700Pro Retail ($299)
4. Swiftech MCW5000-PT ($110)
Luckily my 9800 came back to life miraculously!:)
Bl1nk~~You are welcome.:)
*cough* *cough* I spend more on hardware I test and resell then you do on fried parts :D :D :DQuote:

I went through 4 Canterwood boards :D, 2 Intel 'D1' chips, 3 different brands/speeds of DDR, etc etc etc :D :D :D
Yeah but you resold and got that money back. That's easy. It's tough when you fry it and it's gone. The only thing you fried was a 9800.:DQuote:

You can't help but fry stuff sometimes.
I just retired some crap. I'm down to 4 desktops right now and loving it.:)
