*** are you talking about? Dry ice will freeze the water (he'd need to use pure ethanol for dry ice to work), and antifreeze doesn't lower temps... And btw, there is no way a 450 stock card will do 420 JUST on water. My card did 461 on stock cooling, up to 481 on other air (remember the aluminum brick? ;)), and 555 on the Prometeia w/vmods.

no what I meant is that his 9800 pro does 420 on air, 460 on water. If he gets one that does 460 on air, he could exceed 500 on water. and if he uses ethanol and dry ice........ :eek:

Yeah, but you're the only shmuck who buys 5982 of the same damn video card.

If I`m not mistaken, the fumes are also highly flamable, you wouldn`t catch me messing with that stuff too many things could go wrong. xDUCK are you going to try it out.:D

I think on some/most recently built cars you can use ethanol for fuel....:eek:

Uhh. YES. Obviously. :)

You know, dry ice is $0.50(CAD)/lb. :eek:

What do you think I've been DOING?!

I got the NF7-S for free.
I got the 2500+ for cost+$5.
I got the 2x256mb Corsair TwinX3200LL for free.
I got the 80GB IBM 7200RPM HD for free.
I got the 80GB Seagate Serial ATA drive for 35% off (far below cost).
I got both Prometeias for $425 (USD) (for the pair!).
I got the 9800 Pro as a free upgrade from a 9700 Pro (for which I got a $150 discount, about $75 less than THE lowest price at that time).

I don't pay full price for anything. :D

Duck, you need to hook and AMD brother up...:D

I know and your 9800pro has a lifetime trade in or trade up policy. I going to write AMD a letter on how much, I would like it, if they would send me a A64 and a Nforce 3 MB for free. So, I can improve my 3D Mark score:D I figure it wouldn`t hurt to ask, who knows, I might get lucky.:)

Yep, now when are we going to see a good 3D Mark run from you, you do know you will have to run it at lower clocks then you do with 2001.

Nah, I had an effortless 549/405 2k3 run. It just bluescreens at the end of the test (at the moment it's supposed to give me my score).

Do you run all the tests or do you escape out after nature.

Hey Tbird, do you still doubt I will hit 24K when I am finished with the Vmods on my MB and VC?

actually I say you could do 24k, maybe even 25k :eek: you will need to run the ram at 5:4 or 1:1, get the cpu over 4GHz, get the clocks to 550/400 and you should get 24k something :) xduck can do the same if he can get 3dmark to complete at 250fsb and his cpu at least 2.75GHz

Nice score Ranger. Keep squeezing 'em for more guys, this has been very entertaining. ;)
