WizZard

Cooling at the moment is the stock fan. Will be fitting watercooling at the weekend. Have lots to do with it yet. Just OC'd to 445/545 and got a score of 4666 on 3d Mark 05

What watercoolin you get??? Do a nice pencil mod to up that voltage. With decent cooling and mod you could be gettin 500+mhz

My brothers new comp.

Amd64 3000
ATI x800xl
Got a score of 4550ish first run. Everything at stock and noting tweaked at all.

Wizard where did you get your video card ? Its pci-express right ?

WizZard

@BadCharlie:
Got it from Komplett. It is PCI-E, I'm a bit disappointed that flashing the BIOS didn't enable the other 4 pipelines though!
Tweaked a little more this morning and got 4797. Not bad for a €250 card!

@gline:
I have a Zalman reserator, more for silence than super-cooling. I want to get over 5000 in 3dMark and I'll be happy*. What is the pencil mod? I thought I would have to solder and everything but my soldering skills aren't good

*may not be true, I'm never happy. I always want more!

No need to solder, a pencil will do,

The funny thing is its not temps that are stopping me overclock more as the card only seems to reach about 50 degrees when doing a 3dmark, must be the max of the card, i will try and get more out of it 2nite

Just got my new rig up and running. 3500 winnie, dfi lanparty sli-dr, 512 mb mushkin LII V2 (one of the sticks was DOA :mad: ) 2 x BFG 6800 GT OC and an OCZ modstream 520w PSU.

Everything at stock with one stick of ram and the drivers that came on the cd

8468 3Dmark 05

Cant wait to get the watercooling set up and get hte ram returned, not to mention new drivers.

WizZard

Holy God that's some score! Ah, I just saw the 2x in front of the 6800!!! Damn SLi!!!

Dman_15

So p1ssed about one of the sticks being DOA. Wizard, do me a favour and try your dfi with 2 different manufacturer brands of ram if you can, or just with 3 of your 4 sticks and see how it goes. I think its vey picky about different ram and dual channel. I've done everything like disabling cpc in bios and installing in slots 2+4 but i cant get it to run with my old bh-5 and new tccd ram in any configuration. (i upgraded bios aswell) Really annoying.

dubdvd

how much did you get those two 6800gts for im in the market for two at the moment ....man thats sh1t about the ram theres nothing worst than setting up a system and then finding there is something that wont work ....lets know about the gts pls and where did you pick'em up and how long it took to deliver

I only have Corsair RAM at the mo'. Sold my soul (nearly) to get what I currently have It is really picky about RAM, esp BH-5 and TCCD, and in DUal Channel configs. Check out RGone's and Angry_Games thread at www.dfi-street.com for more info on the type of RAM you have and the correct settings for it (I've never seen so many settings, as I'm sure anyone who have a DFI nF4 will agree!)

<edit>You should use the 3/10 or 3/10p BIOS for TCCD RAM.</edit>

Dman_15

The mind boggles at the bios. All i wanted was to do was set the ram to 2-2-2-5 and up the voltage and push to the limits. And the manual sucks. eg: trcd timings - this allows you to adjust the trcd timing. stating the bloody obvious....
(i made trcd up but you get the point)

<edit, I am using the 310 bios>

Ah well, just have to wait for rma, buy more ram and sell the bh-5

WizZard

Did you check out the RAM timings threads on dfi-street? Useful info.

I know exactly how that feels, built my machine at Christmas had every thing put together except the gxf card was about to install it and found out they sent me an AGP instead of PCI-E had to waited almost 40 days before they sent me out the right one. :mad:
