Hi all. I need a 059 bios for 2400XT from Sapphire (059 version looks to solve 857mhz limit). Anyone can link me to it (TPU database contains older version)?

Good cpu Yevgeniy!

DANCOP, where did you find VCORE value?) Nice result DJ, what was vcore?

There are tables in the web for DFI P35 but they didn't help me. I remember using something like 40/80/80 for >550fsb with 1.6vnb.

Well done guys!

Well done guys!

Try d3d overrider for nature (and higher refresh rate in 3D if possible for your monitor), different order of subtests (I normally start with Lobby high, then Drag low etc) and try different driver version as well.

Nice score, but isn't it too low for the clocks? No tweaks I guess or you have backup?)

TCCD is not the right choice for 462/478 imo (my estimation is some hynix sticks may be even better if they go 300 2-3-3-8). There is no sense in async overclocking on s462 (anyway you won't go higher than 260-265 cpu s462) and on s478 250 2-2-2 is faster than 320-330 3-4-4. TCCD imo only make some sense when using s939 - low latency mem controller may yield some boost with high bandwidth normal latency tccd when compare to low latency normal bandwidth winbond.

Nice result. I was also impressed with 780ti performance in Unigine - very powerful cards even with tess on.

well, test settings can be verified @fm site. The result doesn't look suspicious so no need to delete imho.

Nice cpu, John!

D3mox I had a standalone psu with 3.3v mod - just because overvolted 3.3 rail is not that good for other setups. It is also important to have a psu that is able to provide as much power as possible @3.3+5.0v rails (i.e. my current coolermaster 800w has 150w which leads to shutdowns of a7n8x @2ghz barton aircooled, my old huntkey was rated 180w and so was better).

Thank you Ivan. I have resoldered caps, changed nb TIM and went to 3.7v - now everything is stable @252 2-2-2 but one of my winbond sticks suck - now i need to get my 2*256mb and 2*512mb winbonds sets back from friend and I'll be able to enter socket A competition.

Okay, thanks. I need >2.3v to go 240fsb 2-2-2 on A7n8x-e deluxe (2.0v - no go, only 230mhz 2-2-2) - it works fine in 1M but cannot complete 32m (dunno if this is overheating, missing 5V caps (desoldered them to mod different mobo) or memory - should check this today). My old result was commented by myself that I had used 2.48v vdd to go 250 2-2-2 and I'm not sure if this is clever/safe thing (I use stock radiator on NB).

what was chipset voltage like?

Thanks Genie! Will then look for 256mb cards as well.

Hi all we have 3 categories of 8600GT here @hwbot: http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/geforce_8600_gt_128mb_gddr3/ http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/geforce_8600_gt_256mb_gddr3/ http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/geforce_8600_gt_512mb_gddr3/ As far as I understand the only difference is memory size. Can I submit results with 128mb card to 256mb category? I beleive these cards may be merged as they are quite the same and i don't want loose hwboints just because someone thinks that 256M cards have an advantage over 128mb cards in memory intensive tests.

Ohuenno, bro! Congrats to reunited ZOT and personally to you, GraduS!

I broke the pins on processor (and soldered a bridge to ak4 spot on processor) - so it is not an issue. Probably it is socket that saw too many cpus - sometimes i need to resit processor in socket several times to make even coppermine to work.

Thanks for the answer but I actually did the same mod and tried even more (G35-G37 bridge, isolation of Detect etc) - no go. With Evil Inside bios too. All voltages are in place (vcore, vtt, vnb, vagp, vdimm) - but still black screen. Probably should do a more complex connection of AK4 either to VTT or PWGD with resistor and capacitor.

Did you mod cpu or mobo to support PIII-S? I failed to make PIII-S with mods run on CUSL2, although it still works in TUSL2. Modded Celly 1.1 1.5v works fine. But modded Celly 1.1 1.475 doesn't. Dunno what to do - don't want to mod motherboard.

Da BEST!

Money in the game? This will bring out too much shit and will destroy a spirit of old-school everclocking "not for boints, just for fun".

+ D3D.
