Official 3Dmark06 thread

[NightRaven]

after another week or so of overclocking and sleepless nights,

only way to go upwards now would probably be phase or liquid cooling.
or more money.

not exactly another way is to let me take over from here!

 

[NightRaven]

Vga oc to 671/1080 and cpu oc to 3.4Ghz. Prime95 stable but temperature of cpu hits 68 degree easily and loiter around the range <70 degree.


Overclock trial 2:

haha bro did anyone ever mention... u dont run 3dmark06 at ur prime stable speed. u go higher

 

[alexsoon1984]

Lol, u nvn say i also don't know...ya hor how come no one mention it? Haha. Think i will stay at 3.2 for stability.

 

[NightRaven]

haha day to day stability yes. but benching n benchmarking u go all the way for the highest score

i gotta question for the overclocking gurus here.
im interested in getting another evga 8800gts so i can run sLi with my config,
but i need to know a few things.
Are gpu's like processors, whereby the overclockability depends on your luck. Whether u got a good card or bad card.
And do brands affect the overclockability?
Cos from what i've seen on the [H]ard forums is that the more overclockable 8800's come from either eVga or XFX.

Anyway, my 8800gts is able to run stable at 675mhz/1053mhz.
This considered a good overclock? or can i push more?

Wow, what the load temperature of your 8800gts at that overclock?

 

[mogofogo]

load is around 66-69 degrees. think its because i attached a 9mmfan to the back of the card above the gpu.

 

[NightRaven]

dont use overseas forum as a gauge for what u will get. the most ocable 8800gts for me comes from asus.

 

[NightRaven]

look at the cpu score~

 

[mogofogo]

wah. something funky going on man.

I am intending to borrow Window XP from my friend and install it right on this rig and run the same overclock speed to see how much better it scores.

 

[FinalTidus]

All of your scores are so high.... So sad for my ultra useless 8600GT.. regreted buying over 1950pro.....

haha are u sure the 8600gt is useless!?

just a matter of how far u willing to go and how much u willing to void ur warranty

haha I oc my 8600GT to 600mhz core and 775 mhz mem and temp on stock cooling is already 82c at load.. got a measly 5100 on 06.... pathetic...

u intend to change your mobo to one with nvidia 6x0i chipset? ur P35 mobo does not support SLI...

 

[AhHuat]

my measley 7600gt

Yo Nightraven, i think i finally understood what you mean. Brenching for the highest score = so long can run a complete 3Dmarks06 and get the score can liao right.


If the above is true, i tried cpu oc 3.6Ghz (temperature 70-75...HOT) and vga oc to 685 core speed, score is 14610. With Window XP, i believe i can smell 15000 but scared at the same time smell my computer burning .

Ok, i got 2 route to go now. Need suggestion: Should i now sell off this poor overclocking Q6600 G0 chip and buy a new Q6600 G0 or should i use this chip for now and buy myself a Yorkfield or Penryn later?

 

[tecnica]

need to up volts ah bro?

i dunno leh?

i just up vcore to 1.4v

FSB and MCH +.1v.. vdimm remain stock

 

[FinalTidus]

Just want to ask.. How come you all have offline results?? My 06 need to log in to futuremark website then can see the results le... how come???

haha yes thats right

haha keep this la bro. the main thing abt this chip is to tame the heat. if u cant do tt then yea. and no one keeps track of temps during 3dmark06 cuz its only a short while so push as far as u can..

70 to 75 is technically within the operating temps of a quad core.. so... yea. haha u can push it but not for 24/7 use.
