3DMark 06 Scores

[Kougar]

Just keep in mind, by the end of 2008 Intel is changing everything... new sockets, new processors, and DDR3.... nothing Intel makes today will run on their hardware starting in 2009 pretty much.

Of course that is nothing new with the pace of technology, but before you decide to invest heavily in Intel stuff it is something to consider.

That Stealth block does look pretty good, but I decided to not spring for GPU watercooling until I get my beady little fingers on a better GPU. Preferrably that ellusive G100/D9E part. If anything it gives time to save up!

I've been thinking about the Stealth and I will probably get better mileage out of a universal block and ram heat sinks. Not as sexy but transferable to other Nvidea based cards.

Yea I saw Intel going to all new setups, won't make a difference for me unless they drop DDR3 prices or have a ddr2/ddr3 alternative. With the new platform your probably looking $1000 memory/cpu/motherboard for a good setup. So I hope AMD has some thing good to offer this round. Might be a good thing if existing Intel hardware experiences a drop, I have nothing against running a generation behind if the price is sweet.

You never mentioned how high you got that 6400+ on water. And, AMD is going all different with DDR3 as well at the end of this year Kougar. I took the 64bit bomb and my score actualy decreased from over 7k to 6800. Lame.

The GPU will be on a dedicated water cooling setup, all I'm waiting on is a Swiftech Stealth 8800 water block.

I don't think this water block fits on your 8800GT card. It was designed for the GTX and the Ultra. You may want to check that up if you have not paid for it already.

Lets see what i get on 3dmark06 once i get my quad in here!

I canceled the stealth because it was on back order to long, universal with ram sinks and mosfet coolers when i re order.

Cpu speed I've had it up to 4ghz but not entirely stable, highest stable 3.7 running orthos 6 hours no problems. 3dmarks2006 highest 12500 with the 3.7 cpu clock, and 699/980 on the 8800gt 512 alpha dog. Normally I run 24/7 at 3.52. With a better radiator stand off mod I did today idle temps are now 24C and full load 40C Orthos X 2 hours. That's running swiftech water cooling through an apogee gtx cpu block, swiftech triple 120mm radiator, zalman NB water block, swiftech micro res and 3 43cfm yate loon 120mm fans. While I really like the cooling, even better the only fan I can hear now is the PSU fan. Couldn't go that high with a thermalright 120 ultra and 43cfm fan reliably, at 3.7 temps crept up slowly, at 3.52 it held it's own at 49/50C.

With a water block on the gpu, and bios volt mod from 1.05v to 1.1v I've seen them run 14000 but not at speeds I'd consider for 24/7 usage.

Least i know what kinda speeds to expect with it. You have the Black Edition right?

very nice score illuxiion, especially with youre dual core!

those things clock like monsters

Thanks I'm anxious to get home and install my new toys and see if I can hit a 20k. Just picked up some water blocks for 8800s, and a triple 120 rad, also going to rip the mobo apart and see if I can get those MCP temps down while I'm in there.

after fine tuning my Rig i was able to get 20619 out a pair of 3870's on a 4 gighz quad 6600 . 3DMark06 .

[Yggdrasill]

Rly nice score. Hopefully my new rig will reach 15k.

I didnt do too bad with mine.. I scored 10524 without OCing the CPU, and just a few mhz on the GPU.

I'll push it and see where I can get to.

Update, i got mine to 10989 with a little CPU overclock. I could have broken 11k, but of course i forgot to launch the GPU overclock..

ohh well
