I didn't catch this when you first posted it, It's abit rough BUT a fine example of peronalised mod - I don't have knowledge and and skill to do such a mod. :eek: Damn brave of yer, and damn innovative mod I might add!;) :DQuote:

Yeah, I bascially was praying whenever I was tightening the screws... Like *Oh God, please don't crush the core... please please please* lol...;)
Isn't it abit annoying (actually damn freakin' annoying! :mad: ) that we mod our card like crazy and along comes ranger with his insanely high OCable 9700P with stock cooling at that!:mad: Or xDUCK with his 9800P that also OCs like a bad mutha!:mad: Heck, I've never used so many 'angry' icons/smileys before.:o :p :DQuote:

:confused: think you should give up on that AMD. Intel :D has a faster processor and it runs a lot cooler :cool: than AMD does. :eek: 2.2 is a far cry from 3.8 bro
Indeed, and ranger wants to challenge me to a duel... "oh I'm only on air...";) :pQuote:

It`s the luck of the draw, either you get a good one, a average one, or one that don`t overclock at all.;) :DQuote:

I found no comfort in that. *glares at 9800Pro, sticks out middle finger at it* Ahhhh....THAT felt good! :p :DQuote:

It would be better if we could buy one and have the option to return it if it don`t OC as good as we expect it too;), but things don`t work out that way. That is why a lot of people will return something and pay a restocking fee, until they get one that does.:DQuote:

I think it`s kinda funny, I got this xp1700 from a local mom and pop computer place and they said they were glad to sell it cause they would never build a system with such a slow processor anymore. :p
If they only knew!! :cool:
Good score Rukee! :)
WOW! Nice o/c and score!:eek: :D
dangit!! i wanted the highest oc of the 1700+ on this forums...and then YOU had to come along with your frieking vapochill!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:Quote:

excellent job man. i'm still going to see if i can get this thing to 2.6 on air. not sure if it will go...and i'm definitely going to have to wait for winter...but i'm going to try anyway! :)
Finally got around to testing the CAT3.7 vs 3.6 and I got ~250 point increase. I went from ~16900 to ~17150. That's 3.0G on the CPU and no o/c on the video card. (what I run day to day)
Any chance you could do 3.2 vs 3.7? :)
Wow, I dont come back for 12 hours and there are 3 pages more :)
The video card fried on my when I wasnt watching it during 2003 benchmarking.. The sucker was pure artifact (mostly memory type) and I was already at the nature section, so I knew I only had a little left before a score.. Well I never did get to see the score :(
I have the card on the wall in my office... Along with some other hardware :)
Sorry about your card taking a dump :( ,im sure it would have
been a kick-butt score!
Ryder if that ain't brown nosing I don't know what is Bro:D. Well I got the new MB, 5900U and the PC4000 working there are no more yellow question mark in the devise manager. there was something wrong with that other MB from day one. now I will have to see what this can really do. :):) :) :D :D (grinning in hopes of a higher score). Just wish me luck.
::::::::: I feel something coming up from behind me very fast:::::::
Good luck mark:D :D
Looks like the Dark Side is too strong for me :( , when I get back (and hopefully, I'll have my CoreCenter CD by then) I stick my 9800Pro in my Intel rig and try for 21k - Damn you Intel dogs!:p :D Guess AMD has just lost one of its knights....must try to resist when I'm back. :D
Whats to resist you have gone as far as you can go with your AMD system and looking at the Intel system and wondering how much higher you can go with it. It will be on your mind until you do it and so do it and get it over with. :DQuote:

there would be more AMD's in the top 10 if the people who can afford 9800pro's would buy the AMD chips, but nooo, everyone goes P4 and breaks 21k the easy way... chickens. :D I'll break 21k someday, but as long as AMD is competitive, i will never use an Intel.
