Hello Mike! Just SM will do for me about the name. :cool: Thanks for the kind welcome and explanation, will post them all once I've done them. By the way, me Sandy? I guess there's just so many people with so many rigs around here it gets so confusing. Anyway, thanks for all. :)

You can pump more juice to your card for higher OC and stability? :confused: Never done a bios vmod before, only flashes....like what I did for my old FX5900 @5950U speed. :cool:Quote:

Well I envy you for that patience and .. satisfaction from only visions! I find it interesting myself and all, but it must be getting sort of tedious after time.Quote:

It is like upping the voltage to the processor.
Unfortunately stock cooling can't handle all the heat so i only got to 420/870 (memory isn't maxed out) :p
Ahhh....so I was right in a way, the vmod bios allows for higher voltage for better OC and stability. ;) Anywayz, those are pretty nice numbers coming from a 6800NU.....lookin' forward to seeing some benchies from you soon. :)Quote:

Will the results differ if you're PC has been running for quite some time, or if you've just switched it on and it's been idle for the night or something?

Doing this, next time you load windows only essential files etc will be loaded and it should get your score alittle better. To put the computer back to normal you just need to go to the start menu again-->run-->msconfig-- >normal boot.
Hey mikeysg i just ran some benchies and managed 12k in 3dmark03 and 5k in 3dmark05 :p

Your scores with links:
3DMark 05: 5011

I'll probably do some more benchmarks next week so be prepared for numbers like these (even if they are low :p)
Ah alright, thanks for the info Kappa!
By the way, whenever you run a benchmark and you get a very small increase in the number, should we bother updating or better look out for the bigger numbers? I'm just asking so that I don't accidentally bother Mike.
