General overclocking

Hello, I love 3dfx and I want the best cooling system for The Voodoo5 6000. I think it will be the best project never realized on this card. Video: ...Before end of this year... Best Regards, Trevormacro

Hello , I configure Gamer profile at Rampage IV EXtreme with x47 at multi CPU , but when login at Windows 7 see the CPU-Z and show to me x12 at multi. It's a Bios Bug ? I try with latest .CAP 3404.CAP. Return to back flash cant at moment dont work for me USB White and button near Clear Cmos. What can I made to solve it ? Any suggestions ? A Pic to ilustrate it : Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Got my CoreI3 530 up to 4.1 Ghz with Temps around 50 Celsius (with stock cooling). and going strong.

Hi guys !! I try 3D 11 with 3 x GTX 680 OC GB , but the score is low aprox 15.xxx. The OS its Windows 7 x64 SP1 with all updates. The drivers are 310.90 FM aproved. I flash the 3 x GPU with limit voltaje 1.21v and PW 120 % , the OC its Ok , 1267 boost. The problem I think that 3 x GPU not run at high use 100 % , I suspect that run at down % that use. I try with LOD=30 , LOD=15 , D3DOverride On , D3DOverride Off , etc .... More trys and not good score. One pic of Setup and score :

Asus Maximus V Extreme. 4x7970, 3x 5870 or 3x 8800GTX. When I bench full pot the scores go down, strange freezes in the screen. It starts @ -140 and below in seconds. Single GPU full pot is ok. It worked before with the same settings Wprime at the same speed is ok. I don't have a second board at hand, but is this a CPU or motherboard problem?

Hey fellows, I can't really understand, what my problems are!!! Please help me, raising my points!

Hey guys how's this? RAM at 1736 MHz at 8-9-8-20-1T

Hey guys this is my new overclock. I am using stock cooler so it overheats when stressing with IBT but prime95 is stable even after 1 hr so I assume the overclock is successful provided I get a good cooler. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Who's getting stuck into the new O.S.? Any joys? Any disappointments? Tweaks?

Does anyone know if the HD 7850 1GB has a voltage lock? I've looked around the web, and found that some 2GB models have locked voltage and some don't. I wondering if that was the case for the 1GB model as well.

Trees, ice-cream, golf carts, frogs, endlessly long boring speeches, multi-color pens, slightly bent measuring rods, peas and pies, a punch to the throat, cardboard box ripped apart by a genuinely excited birthday boy, a cow urinating at the same moment you’re trying to capture the beauty of nature.

Hy boys, I have a question for you: i want to increse the vgpu of my ENGTX580 DCII more than 1.23V possible with MSI AFTERBURNER. How can i do ? With BIOS FLASH? Thanks

Hello everybody, I am Trevormacro. I am new. I have 3dfx prototype card : Voodoo 5 6000 3700 A / Hyundai 6ns / Hank's Rework. It's a very rare 3dfx prototype card. Under 100 cards in the world.

Has anyone ever sent a cpu to a cryo treatment service and then retested the overclockability of it, or it's operating temp? memory sticks? entire mobos or video cards?

I have an i7 870 and a Asus P7H55, mabye not a oc mb, but it's ok. Cpu is oc'ed from bclk 133 to 150 and is stable, i want it at 160 so i get with turbo and hyper threading enabled about 4.350ghz with one core 3.52ghz default with all 4 cores (x22), then my ram runs at 1600 default (kingston hyper x) Can my cpu handle bclk at 160 with turbo and hyper threading enabled? Is a cpu stable enough for 24/7 if it can't take ibt on maximum and fail in less then 5 passes (freezes) With my asus mb it get's strangly unstable taking ibt at normal, multiplier goes down to x9 after 1-2 passes when i have set multipler to 20 and bclk to 160 or 180

Lo lads, tried to OC my ahum cherrry binned 2600K on the Gene V board. Yet with the Hypers SuperPI efficinecy seems to be total POS, due to the loose timings that need to be run to be anywhere stable... I'm getting around 2-3K less AIDA bandwith then with my old P67 scores...now even at 100MHz higher frequency. Tightening up the crucial tertiary timings ( tRSSR in particular ) results in an instant lockup or freeze Possible solutions : 1) Is there a special SB bios for the Z77 ROG range ? 2) Or just ditch the Hypers 3) Buy a P67 bench board... 4) Steal some of SAM's BBSE's... 5) Sell all my stuff... I'm leaning towards option 3. In last resort opti…

I have an problem with this Board. When i overclock Core 2 with this board, everything works fine, Voltage can be set to over 2V... But i now have many P4 CPUs here, and if i use any P4/Celeron CPU, i only can set max 1,4V in Bios. Trying to get higher in Windows dont work. Seems, that my board sets there an limit, if 90nm CPU is detected How can i fix this, maybee someone had an working Voltmod for me, because 1,4V isnt enough for me;)

Can anyone help me get rivatuner working with 197.45 driver and 480 lightning. I dont see any subs with that driver so maybe its not possible?? Driver works just fine but rivatuner wont change anything. Is there any other way to change lod that I dont know about aside from nvhardpage or rivatuner. Something similar to ati setlod for nvidia?

Hey guys, I've recently been to the MSI office to test the new GTX660 graphics card. Originally I wanted to do the same style of review as I did with the 7870 Hawk so include all the mods, bioses and ln2 results, but it turned out to be a regular test. Mainly because the vGPU IC that is used (NCP5395) is not that easy to mod (click) and because there's no extreme OC bios available. As some of you might know, Nvidia has full control over the xtreme oc bioses. Vendors have to request an extreme oc bios from Nvidia and especially with low-end and mainstream cards that's not always easy. Once an extreme oc bios is available, I'll update this thread with the XOC resul…

well.....i HATE the boost clock feature...anyway to disable it? i found something at OBR's blog...but am not too sure about the pStates..are they same across all the manufacturers? somebody help me out btw the culprit is 660ti DC II TOP version...

Seems like people are looking for the GTX650 driver to start benching. Since it's not yet available for the general public, it's not possible to start benching yet. Or, we just make a small modification to the existing v306.02 driver and use that one. V306.02 with GTX650 support: download. Fyi - before anyone starts complaining about leaking stuff. Both the 306.02 driver as well as the information needed to add GTX650 support is available for everyone on the internet. Have fun!

Hey guys, Just a quick thread to show how you can save your GIGABYTE OC settings so you can share them with other users or use them for future reference. There are two methods: - save OC profile - save entire BIOS (!!) If you want someone to boot up with exactly the same settings you're using, the second BIOS save option should be much more interesting than the first one. 1) Save OC profile What everyone probably everyone already knows is you can save/load your OC profile to and from a USB drive. All you need to do is go to the save profile section, select 'select drive in HDD/FDD/USB' and save/load the file you want. Essentially, you are just saving…

Some of my colleagues request 169.21 modded inf for 3DM2001. Today added suport for 9800gt also. Tested by me on 9800gt/9800gtx/9800gtx+ and gts250. Just go via update driver, don't search, i will choose ..., have disk and select proper inf, as shown in the screens. Good luck on the best bench ever. Ramiro
