Oh well life in the big city. Guess I am off to get another IC7-G and a new 5900 ultra. I just hope it is as good or better that this one was. hummmmm....think I will try the corsair pc4000 any feed back on that memory is welcome!!!!

Gonna get a much better overclocking 5900U this time bro? :D
-and going to try some of that PC4000 stuff huh??
Maybe i should jump over to intel!! :) :)

Well, the MB lost one of the drivers or the chip for the 1394 host controller is gone. yellow question mark in devise manager and I can not install the driver no matter how hard I try. as for the card it has sprits all over it. it acts as if it is running hot all the time

: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

Sounds to me like your system (Windows) is corrupted, and could possibly be overclocking your card without your "permission". Have you tried reformatting and reinstalling Windows? You should definately try that before springing for a new mobo and video card. :eek:

Yea, I thought the same thing that windows xp took a hike. Did the whole nine yards from start to finish....same thing...something went south. At least I still have the ability to take them back and exchange them for new (but time is a running out fast).

Im sorry for your problems Mark, But I can understand.. I lost a 9800 Pro :(

But I dont understand how the board is affected... But good luck on the exchange :)

Look what I found!!! *lol*

Very nice score:D , but you can do much better. 20K should be withing your reach. My best score with my 9700P was 20173. I had my card clocked at 432/353. To do this I had two extra fans blowing on the VC. 1 120mm on top blowing down on the card and 1 80mm below, blowing accross the bottom of the card. These 2 fans made a huge difference in my overclock of the card. Keep pushing and you will go far with that 9700P

Ahhh I'd love to hit 20k but I'm doubting the CPU//memory/mobo can do anymore. The 9700P could because right now its stock cooling. I was gonna go pick up some sort of 3rd party air cooling for it, Zalman or I was looking at the TT Giant. But even if I can push just the card higher, is it really gonna get me to 20k? I doubt it.
You guys have an opinion on the TT Giant?

The GiantII rocks. Just lap the base that contacts the GPU die. TT does a pretty crappy job of prep'ing the surface. Make sure you supplement the little fan it has with good airflow around the hs.

Or if you've still got the stock P4 HSF you can mod that and get even better results..;) :p

I just happen to have one :-D...but you gotta be kidding me. I see that you did that in the 3DMark team page. How did you do it?

Well, I didn't really have the proper tools so my mod didn't turn out great...:p But here's how you'd go about doing it:
