I'm sure Mikey wants to try out an FX chip w/X850 series. Maybe some phase change, but thats probably too much work :) (the phase change that is)
I might go with an FX + R520 combo....gotta wave the ATi flag again just to tick off the OpSter.:p To maintain my rep as one of the laziest members around, I'll skip the phase change suggestion (I have no idea what it is, but it sounds like too much work for me):p :DQuote:

well big supprise, I got a 9800p from some dude who had it at 470/390 pratically artifact free with *stock* cooling which consists of a small copper heatsink on both back and front and a smallish plastic fan. Well I cant get it past 450/380 without white dots all over the screen. 470 core soon locks up and gives a vpu recover error. I added a tornado fan to the back of the gpu, this helped but touching the front of the heatsink-ouch burning hot! I may need even better cooling still. This picture is a comparsion vs. my 9700 at 410/325 with cpus at 262x9 but is 2x256 ram really slower vs. 2x512? my lobby high shows this(about 100-130 marks loss id guess vs. 2x512) :(ah well gonna try for 289x9 now but its looking like im kinda cpu limited, at least at 2.36GHz. I have mixed feelings about this gpu, it doesnt seem much faster than my 9700. Will give it a chance with better cooling first, any ideas?
ok it looks like im severely heat limited. I took the stock cooler off. The copper heatsink isnt too shabby, ill give you this but the fans a joke! I tried tornado fans but it didnt really help. I need a large heatsink and a big fan blowing directly on it too. I was also thinking of VGA silencer but how good is that? I hear the fans very weak but quiet. I could use my slk-800 but I dont see how ill attach it unless I either use lots of string or epoxy it(bad idea) I will shoot for 500/400 clocks once I get the heat issues worked out and the boost in nature just might get me 26k then :D
Good stuff TB. I'm thinking the SLK-800 might be a bit much for the card. Too heavy and probably not worth the mod effort compared to a lighter aluminum socket A cooler. Swing by a pc shop and check out your options there. I managed 495 MHz out of my good 9800 Pro using a FOP-38 w/60mm delta and of course some vgpu increases. The difference between that and my 80W Swifty pelt was only like 30 more MHz or so. The FOP was like $15 and mounted pretty easily with zip ties. Not a permanent cooler, but great for benches. ;)
