My bad, I thought you ran that with a little less juice. Still, part of what basing my "2.8GHz being conservative" on is seeing a lot of the good clocking vapor cooled A64's between 2.88GHZ and a hair over 3GHz, and I know your chip is a good clocker. Hope it gets there, I know 35k is your next big milestone.Quote:

Oh yeah, I need some more info -
RAM used is 512mb OCZ PC4000, is it 1x512mb or 2x256mb?
GPU cooler used - Zalman, right? But what model? ZM80A-HP or ZM80C-HP or.....please specify.;)
By asking how you can check GPU speed, I can assume your VC isn't OCed, right? I've listed down the default speed of the 9800Pro for you. You can go to guru3d and DL Rivatuner, it'll show you your core and ram speed, and can be used to OC your VC.....hope this helps. Omega drivers do have OCing utility too, right?
20K completley stock is pretty good
btw, mikey have your tried the vmod bios for the 6800U? it give you and extra .1v so it should help you out:) http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...5&pagenumber=1
hehe, I'll be going up on the scales soon :D
X800 PRO VIVO will be here monday, the Sapphire Toxic version :D
with that x800pro at xt, you could take out like 23k to 24k :D
Well, got new mobo (K8N nForce3-250Gb), CPU (K8 3700+ Clawhammer), and vidcard (6800U). WinXP HomeEdition SP2, DirectX 9.0c, latest mobo BIOS flash 1.3, drivers 5.03, and vidcard drivers 67.11. Figured out how to OC with the mobo/BIOS/CPU/memory but I'm stumped on OCing the vidcard. I've tried Coolbits and can't get over about 16.8K w/3dmark01 and 8.9K on 3dmark03. I must be missing some setting(s) on the vidcard. Searched on Google but couldn't find any decent guides. Any help appreciated.
Edit: Oh, and is there any way to reduce the number of tests required for a score in 3dmark03 and what are the required tests to get a score?
Edit2: I did find this: http://3dgpu.com/archives/2004/08/09...0-tweak-guide/
wow those are low scores... sure you have all the chipset drivers installed and everything? WinXP will be a hit, but not that much. for refrence i get 24.8k and 12k stock.Quote:

Yup, latest chipset drivers, BIOS flash, and vidcard drivers. I can't help but think I'm not using the Coolbits OCer correctly. Missing some major setting or two I'm just too dumb to notice :DQuote:

You bet it does. And each system will be different. For example with a 9800P 64MB was best, with a 6800U 32MB is best. The only way to find out what's best on your system is to start at the bottom or top of the settings available in your BIOS, and keeping all other settings the same, do three runs and average them at each size to find what's best for you.
Well, several Sharks here and several other sites said to re-install the mobo drivers, so I did and that seems to have solved the problem. Stock 3dmarks are now 24.2k and 12.6k. Thanks for the suggestions. Back to OCing . . .Quote:

Looking foward to seeing your 01' scores,we have the same moboQuote:

and ram.Would like to see how far you can get that 3700..
I am also interested to see what youll get. so far this is only 2k marks higher than your 9800 pro yet you have a new cpu and gpu, are you 100% cpu limited now where only cpu MHz will matter
Didn't have much time and still learning with new stuff, but I did post up an 01 & 03 score in the ORB (and yes, they are backed up :cool: ).
CPU: A64 3700+ 215 @ Vcore 1.6 (can go much higher, but not yet)
Stock Speed of CPU: 2.4
Overclocked speed of CPU: 2.5
MotherBoard: MSI K8N Neo Platinum nForce3-250Gb BIOS 1.3 Drivers 5.03
Ram: OCZ 3700 2 x 256mb 3-3-2-8 @ 2.7 (can go much faster . . . )
Video Card: eVGA 6800 Ultra Drivers 67.11 Coolbits2 OCer
Stock Core of Video: 425
Actual Core of Video: 444
Stock Mem of Video: 1.1
Actual Mem of Video: 1.13
Cooling Used:
CPU = ThermalRight XP120 w/Silverstone 120mm adjustable fan w/AS5
GPU = stock (lookin' for a good cooler :D )
01 = 24922 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8063987
03 = 12662 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2984198
Anyone seen any coolers for the 6800U besides the Artic Cooling VGA Silencer? Appreciate any info, Regards . . .
