yea strange mobo, even putting ram in different dimm slots helps, I should try this with my corsair value in case it ocs higher in the 2nd pair of dimm slots. as for getting the prom modded how much does it cost and what if it gains you 90MHz and you are like 50 marks shy of 40k? oh the horror :eek:
its probably gonna total around $340 - $370 with what he told me hes gonna do
getting the prometeia modded costs almost as much as one, might be better to buy another for your gpu and break 25k :D hows 180-200fps in nature on a 9800pro sound? ;)
tbird pelase be quiet u dont know what your talking about. 200 fps on a 9800? you realize he'll need to get it modded to even reach 40K. and with new cpu's coming out his mach 1 wont be able to handle it. Please dont talk about phase change especially if you dont know the difference betwee na 2 stage and a 3 stage cascade
I thought you were talking about getting your own prom modded, jetforce. your 9800pro can do 160fps in 3dmark 2001 in nature for 23k marks. you dont think slapping a prometeia on your card will gain you more fps and 3dmarks? I said 25k might be possible then :confused:
no becuase it'll need a vmod to get any higher even if theres a prommy on it
jetforce, what did you use to mod your vga silencer? also, BH5 is really expensive :( Im thinking bout some tccd to get 240 2.5-3-3-11, IIRC when I ran my mem at 220 2.5-3-3-11 it scored higher than 200 2-2-2-11. Maybe ill get some ch5, good for 235 2-3-2-11 with over 3v. I think I need a volt mod as my 9800 non pro isnt making it past 420/320.

got 19.664
athlon xp mobile 2500+ (needed 1.94v to get it stable :eek: only need 1.719 at 2.4 ) at 2.5 12.5x200 stock 1.8GHz
zalman ripoff cooler 90mm 2500rpm
ABIT an7 bios 17
512MB Kingston bh5 2-2-2-11
9800NP at 420/320
vga silencer on high
anything else needed :confused: You guys think with better ram I could break 21k (pretty sure i could break 20k with better ram)
My ram can't work 1:1 at 230 Mhz, not even with 3-4-4-8 and i managed to break 21k.Quote:

I think the limiting factors would be either the cpu or the graphic card.
btw is it possible to bios mod a 9800np to pro (editing the clock speeds)?
If it worked you could get a few points more.
yea, my cpu is limiting me, I want to go mobile 2600 for 2.7Ghz but I am BROKE. Btw all the speeds I benchmark at are prime 95, memtest 86 and game stable so its not like I bench with unstability, I could prolly bench at 2.6 but, its unstable in prime 95. And fsb does help, i remember benching 200 2-2-2-11 and 220 2.5-3-3-11 and I got a good 300 extra points, and the timings were loose. Tccd generally has tight timings until 220-225 fsb, and 2.5-2-2-11 until 240ish which is what the limit of most an7 boards are.Quote:

sabrewolf,i took off the stock shroud amd crappy fan and replace it with 2 80mm's on the front and 2 80's on the bac of the card. and i dont think you'll hit 2.7 on a zalman ripoff...;) as for CH-5's mine are doing 240 stable with 3.3 volts.
my load temp is 53c at 1.94v and 2.5Ghz :p 75f room temp. My cooler is pretty good:D My buddy's 2600m does 2.6 at 1.75v, 2.7 at 1.85. I would say 2.7 1.85=2.5 1.94 in heat output. also, what can you do with 3.2v? as thats all my an7 allows for, alot on amdmb forums are hitting 250fsb with their an7 and bios with nfinity romsip tables. did modding the vga silencer help you at all? Im assuming its the vga silencer rev 3 right?Quote:

yes it is but I dont know what ram chips I got (they are covered by copper ram sinks and are on with epoxy) so I cant. Besides differance between 9800pro and 9800 np is that the bios gives the 9800p more voltage. Ima try volt modding when I feel lucky, hopefully I will hit 480/350 :p Then Im positive ill break 21k:D With voltmod and new ram Im aiming for 23k XDQuote:

480 on the core for a 9800 np? thats alot more than what most 9800s do.. i gained about 20 mhz on the core from the mod. My 2500+ is horrible compared to the 2600+, i can only do 2.7 with water and i need sub zero temps to get to 2.8:eek:
well I do 420 now, stock 9800np bios, which uses less voltage than a 9800pro and a good bit less than a 9800xt. I wouldnt be surprised if i get 480Quote:

the XT bios is only a very tiny bit more voltage compared to the 9800 . i flashed to XT and the only thing i gained was temp sensing and 300 points in 03
why did xt give you more points/??? what does it change besides volt and temp sensing?
Xt's just score hgiher in 03 because of soem features i guess.i went from 72xx to 75xx and now i'm at 7800 ish
9800np only uses less mem voltage, the core voltage is the same. My non-pro did 470core with the NP bios, 470 core with Pro bios, and 470core with the XT bios.Quote:

bah, how much more memory speed you got?Quote:

the max memory speed skyrocketed from about 335 to 412. Of course it was only capable of that with the E-die Pro bios. With the XT bios it was down around 400.Quote:

ooo, sounds real good. I need to know what memory I have right to flash? If I do ill just volt mod as I have ram sinks on them and I dont feel like taking them off :p
well back when i did it you need samsung 3.3ns to flash it.. i have no idea if that's still the case or not. when did you buy your 9800?Quote:

I bought it used so I dont know how old it is, meh I think I should just be happy, who cares about 400pts. What does it matter to me if I get 19.664k or 20k. LOL I say that now but I bet ill have my card vmodded by the end of the week :p :DQuote:

A few minutes later i was trying to break 20k and 2 weeks later i was trying to break 21k :|
