At the moment trying push to 4.40 Ghz.... so far no luck. Eventhough already put the vcore up to 1.5V

Able to boot into windows but failed run prima95 or orhtos with both core.

Any suggestion? Still same temp load is around 65C and idle 42C

if i was u i would wonder y ppl at 4ghz at gpu stock can get 17500+
before u attempt 4.4

I would have no idea,

Can be a lot of factors.

1. Proc problem not a good batch
2. El cheapo GPU not the uber XFS or Zotac but mere Sapphire. =not a good build
3. Cap ayam RAM, Corsair XMS2 is not as good as DHX or some progressive timing memory with CL less than 4.
4. Using a cheap heatsink..... not using Uber watercooling.. or even a Nitrogen = temp problem
5. No aircond at room that gives a near boiling point ambient temp.
6. Using a P35 Chipset not the Uber X38.

Well thats what I can think of, no other.. but I am satisfied since this is a huge leap forward from my previous AMD rig.

some cards are nuts
i can say this card is about the same as my 3870 crossfire performance
so far tested on Crysis,CD4 and GOW.. no crashes and everything smooth

3dmark06 untweak and running on 24/7 background programs.
oh yeah avg crashed after i installed and then later had to uninstall the asus smartdr and gamer osd. its not working

3870x2 CrossfireX using COD4

getting ready to buy one more kekeke..

one thing once u touch the HD3000 series.. nvidia G9x just not the same..

bro need your opinion~
is it worth upgrading my 8800GTS G92 to HD3870 X2 ?
wats the performance wise ?

when i went to 8800gtx.. awesome

when i used 8800 ultra even more awesome

then sold them off with the anticipation of the 8800gt price/performance ratio freaking gila..

straight sold off all the g80 gts i had.. and made second rig slied with 8800gt

then since i was on maximus and was fedup with all the 680 except for the asus p5n32esli..
tried HD3870 crossfire.. awesome..

then temporarily went back to 8800gts G92 was in a trying mood... . biggest mistake..
hence what happened to me when i had that card, the very next day just packed it back and 3rd day posted sales thread

gaming ure card is good
but other things just pissed me off
dual screen support goes nuts especially when u want to play video on the second monitor
dont even talk about hdtv.. if u enable hdtv on ure second monitor say like mine 24 inch dualie.. so second i made it hdtv.. u can see framerate freaking slow when u play high def movies..
tested with naruto 1920x1200 encoding movie 2.. lousy...and some hd movie downloads

but gaming was good.. but price wise waste of money for a mediocre gain compared to 8800gt.only pros is he cooling

so base on this is what i can tell u.. everybody's expectation for buying a graphic card is different.. and what they expect from it is different.
this is the best i can tell u.

i cannot argue on 8800gt price/ performance .. its just that a good card
for hd3870 .. the price/performance/feature .. is something legendary

so depends where ure expectation meets..
for me daily 2-3 hours surfing while watching movie gaming 2 hours..
i need something that can do both exceptionally well.
the 8800gts G92 didnt fit to my criteria.

so thats y u see sometimes ppl selling off 8800gt to move to hd3870 and vice versa.. its whether they got what they were looking for

you really a multitasker lol do so many things at one time

Anyone installed 3rd party cooler with this monster yet?

better wait 4 the 9800GX2 n 4870 X2 if possible

better yet 10000GTX extreme

waiting means something better will always come.. buy whatever u can now and later also..

Try increasing NB,CPU VTT,FSB termination voltage and see how.Should be able to stablelize quite well.

Buy what you can afford at that time...and leave any tech news site for a few months

cannot >.< if i leave ~~ i fill so outdated haha
