Well, it just worked. :)

18265, placing me in #8 :D! Watch out Pyro, my 9800 Pro is showing no signs of hitting it's wall yet... ;)

Please update me, vertices. :)

xDUCK wrong 3D Mark link, here is the new one www.irydium.net/3dmark

Just surpassed Pyro... :cool:

18494!

I am now (somewhat) secure at 7th place... If I can push this just a LITTLE bit more, I might end up at #5... Wish me luck.

Good luck, just don`t push it too far, I don`t want to go another funeral.;)

Nice score X duck, but your ram is pc3200, can you get the fsb to like 210? Youll break 19k if you do so :)

18624! Starting to see some mild artifacting though, mostly white dots. Would that be a Core thing, a RAM thing, or a temperature thing?

Nope, not at all. The system is rock solid at 190FSB, but at 191, it starts to lose stability. At 196, I can't POST (curiously, at 200+, I can), but anything about 195 and I can't even get into Windows. If I do, it's horribly unstable, and 3dmark crashes after a few seconds.

It's because I have the rev 1 A7N8X, with the crappy Northbridge. If I had an Epox, Abit, or a rev 2 A7N8X, I could probably score 220+FSB (it seems this CPU is a lot better than I gave it credit for, it can post at 2.5+).

white dots mean the core has been pushed too far. Id back off not to kill that card :eek: also if you spend like $80 for a later stepping of nf2 board, you can just remove the old one and plug in the new one and your ready to go. No reinstalling windows cause its the same mobo, just the chipset overclocks more. I think its worth it if you can afford a 9800 pro and expensive ram :)

Great score!:D But I'd back off a little as artifacts means too much stress on the vid card (Colossus told me to watch out for those when I was benching my rig;) ) Don't want another to attend another *sniff* 'funeral' *sniff*, do we?:(

P.S. Rival30, congrats on that score, and with PC2100 at that!:eek: :)

Ahhh I lied...how can I sleep when I'm so close to 17k.

I'm so tired I can't tell if its artifacts or if I'm just seein things ;) lol
I guess if I rub my eyes and they are still there I should just turn the damn thing off and go to bed. :D

Hey Vertices, I dunno if it even matters but my spot on the 3DMark team page shows as having 208FSB. I got it up to 222 (actually 223 in the bios but it only shows as 222 in 3DMark) for that score. If you wanna just remove the FSB info all together I'm sure I'll be adjusting it more in the future. :)
