Bumping vcore higher at 1.7v and 1.725v bios set (1.664v and 1.696v windows idle) managed to pull of my personal best 1M and 32M times with the help of E8500

32M @4753Mhz at 1.664v

32M @4791Mhz at 1.696v

1M @4798Mhz at 1.696v

Started to play with my 2x 512MB HIS HD3850 IceQ3 Turbo Crossfire pair with their stock bioses so I can use ATI CCC to overclock both cards.

@715/909 Stock speeds



@783/1098 Oc'd speeds







Still looks like 3dmark06 is cpu limited unless you use quad core but 3dmark05 is nice nearly 30K!

More to come

E8500 @4616Mhz 3dmark06/05 no probs



Sooo close to 30K!

New personal best scores for 3dmark05 and AM3, first time over 30K and 270K respectively!

Now did the pencil GPU volt mod on my HIS HD3850 cards, very hard to pencil ended up reducing card's stock resistance from 2.262k ohm to 1.938k ohm (1.294v 3D load) and other card from 2.258k ohm to 1.900k ohm (1.305v 3D load), so that cards do 810mhz and 823mhz GPU respectively by themselves.

Together in CF mode, 810Mhz GPU seems to be max which is up from default 789Mhz GPU, so a 21mhz GPU gain from some 2B lead magic

wow some nice overclocking therer Eva 1.55 vcore pretty got you a nice Oc

I think those cpu's are pretty good Value for the Money + a 6Mb cache, New processors are always tad dearer than old tech stuff, Im wandering how hard this thing could go on a dice pot probably not much more since you have hit 550 Fsb already...Dont you hate locked Multi's

i can see some HWBOT points being rushed in very soon .
