I was doing a little lurking on another forum, and it looks like the 7800 might have a problem with being chilled.
Edit: The 31K wall has been broken. Working on 32k now ;)
Yea it locks up below 35c, which isnt exactly chilled I might have trouble with that in the winter actualy.
But there is a new bios to fix it, its just not available to the general public yet.
Hmmm.....looks like you know the forum I was lurking on :cool:Quote:

It will.
positive 35 c is even reachable on some water.
speedfreaks scores should be 6800gt sli'd not one single card. Thats the only thing ive noticed at first glance.
Thermo, in response to your pm, i think its your video clocks, nature is verrrrrry gpu dependent in comparision tothe rest of 3dmark01.
also, i think thermo's card is incorectly listed as well.
OK Thanks for taking a look. Only way I see to pick it up at this point is to hack the bios. It just dies if I take it much faster. The card never really heats up at all, so my gut says it needs some more power.Quote:

Well, now I'm sure....First run, base settings with the card cold to the touch and reporting 36c 25456. Repeat run, warm card, 41c reported, 29269. Damn good thing this was a summer launch. Time to start razzing NVidia I guess. 35c is not that cold and well within the PC opperating specs.
Your freezing at 62f? Man thats like perfect weather. Now in the wintertime when i did air benching my ambient temp must have been below 35f. I was freezing. FLutie and i in my basement with thick wool socks boots hoodies and our leather jackets. and ski caps. Still cold, then our 3rd friend was there and we wouldnt give him ajackaet, he jsut *****ed and laid under the blankets.
Anyway if the 35c bug isnt there that is excelent. Only one way to find out man, can you try it colder?

hmm it looks like im gonna be cheap and wait on the water chiller and just bench with ice around the rad like we did a month or so ago. but if that doesnt get me 33k ill run right out and buy a AC cuase i want that #4 spot
Haha man, nice. I just noticed your processor is so much cheaper than everyone else up theres. most of us have at least 2.2ghz stock cpu's while yours is only 1.8. Very nice work.
sorry for the late response but i've been on vacations :o
I'm using a prometeia mach 2 (unmodded).Quote:

My processor isn't good (at all). Even on my asus p4p800 it would only do 3.6 on water for benching (and it would lock sometimes) :p
anyways this computer will handle games until june 2006 (when i will do a full scale upgrade) so.... :p
Btw nice scores everyone with those monster video cards ;) keep up the good work.
Now i have to get back to my vacations (can't leave the foreign girls waiting :D)
I might put the pelt on it and see what happens.Quote:

i want to see what kind of copper tubing you can get at home depot to make a DI container. :pQuote:

I was speaking to flutie earlier on aim, he left for home depot already. Hopfully he doesnt waste money on a tube from there that wont work. Its Low quality? Wonder if he will understand the different grades of Cu or what not, hes a smart guy should be able to figure it out.
Me and him were discussing block ideas. But im sure he would be down for you to help in anyway.
i just don't think they sell any 2" or 3" copper tubing at home depot with a .5" + wall...Quote:

any ideas where i can get good tubing?
plumbing stores? recycling places? I dunno just tossing out ideas.
