Well, I DID run 3DMark2k1SE a coupla times, no problem.;) I've played Enter the Matrix, UT2k3 and Unreal 2 without a hitch.:) Should I be concern though?:confused:Quote:
Have you tried to play any games or run 3DMarks??? My KNXP with my 9700Pro would crash and reboot or just hardlock...
I wouldnt.. I couldnt do any of those...
So since you can.. I wouldnt worry...
Thanks, that took a load off my back!:D Great rig, don't know why I hear so many crummy things 'bout the MSI mobo, but it's great!:D Or am I just real freakin' lucky to get the ONE bug free board!:D ;) :DQuote:

Woohoo man!! I knew you could do it!:) That's a damn fine score!
You are the 3rd member of this team to break 20K! I bet you felt good as hell when that score first popped up on the screen, I know I did!!
Congratz man!:D:D
Sure feels good! ;) And yeah, you're right, it made my day when the 20k+ score flashed on the screen.:D ;) :D But I really can't push it anymore w/o changing the NB and vpu coolers:( . I WILL change them and set my sights higher, perhaps 21k?;) :D Thanks for your advice, and thanks lonewolfroger for reminding me of the link.:DQuote:

Yeah..now it's time for a break.:) You just can't sit when you are that close to a big milestone like that!:)
I can relax now;) but the bug's got me, visions of 20.5k-21k are spinning around in my head!:D Think a NB and vpu cooler change can help propel my score higher.;) The Zalman should be the ticket! But I'm still looking for a good NB cooler.:) ;)Quote:

For a Northbridge cooler I'd go for either THIS or THIS.Quote:

I bought both but I installed the ThermalTake. I've heard nothing but good things about it. The Themraltake is designed for i845 systems so you would have to midify the mount to get it on your AMD system.
The Zalman goes on either chipset.
Your best bet would probably be the Zalman and then just superglue a little fan on it for even better cooling. It's designed to not need a fan but most people glue a little fan on top of it.:)
With better cooling I bet you can get similar to Big C's score.:) (Don't tell him I told you that!:D)
DHOH!:o I've seen the Zalman passive NB heatsink, never even occurred to my itty bitty head that a small fan can be mounted on it:o ) Looks good!;) Will consider it.:cool:Quote:

HeHeHe!:D Let's keep this between us, then I'll do the Terminator thing on the C man!:DQuote:

It's not an easy thing to do by any means.:)
AMEN to that dude! :D No, but seriously, I was freakin' scared that I'll fry one of my components:eek: . If I had fried my 9800Pro, I'd be looking at the PowerColor 9800Pro Gold Edition (I think that's what its called, ya know the one with higher core speed (400mhz) and freakin' fast rams;) ) Fortunately, (unfortunately?), I did not fry it!;) :)Quote:

mikeysg, Congrats on breaking 20K, now just kick back and do like the others say and take a break. We don`t want you to become a 3D Mark addict.:D
LMAO!:D :p :D Sound advice! Think it's time to kick back and relax;) :D (Actually, you should blame Vertices for turning me into a 3D junkie;) :p , pffft...he's the 'pusher'!;) :DQuote:
