W00t im ninth

Havn't got time for benching anymore unfortunately. May be able to bang out a few SLi 8800GTS + E6850 benchmarks if I can borrow a more powerfull PSU from someone

10th. But out of new kit to test. I tried to throw together a PII-266 and board a while ago, but something precluded booting (bad video card? bad monitor? :shrug

sweet, 4th. ATM im running 3d06 on the quad+8800GTX

Hey how do I get mah black azz in that list?

go to HWbot.org and join the PCApex team

Futuremark - ORB - Project Comparison
14k looks close

Good job bro, Maybe u can give T2 some competition.

I don't find the benefits of OC'ing to be worth it anymore, sure my benchmarks run faster, but who cares. I want real world performance increases.

Yah yah, flame me

I just feel the need to OC EVERYTHING!

I was second for ages, until Necro got his 8800's and Quad Core. I won't be benching until i get some decent hardware... Which will probably be next month.

I was experiencing some hardware issues with a bunch of my older PIII's, ones that had been running for months before I packed them up to move. Some wouldn't boot, while a couple would start to install windows but never make it into windows. It drove me crazy. I tried different CD's, HDD's, and CD-Rom/CD-RW's to no avail. The real kicker is I tried this trick once and it didn't work.

What I did was take the battery out and manually reset my BIOS settings. The first time i let it sit for just a minute or so. Didn't work and I let the thing sit for months. Then I tried leaving it out overnight. VIOLA she finally boots into windows. I thought of it because I remember overclocking an older rig and it decided to quit booting for a while. Left it overnight and she was ready to go. I ended up saving a few mobo's that were about to get trashed.

In any event, I know I have been slacking on the OCing. I've been paying my mom's rent while paying my own bills . . . no money for gear or running folding rigs. I did manage an amazing 50 percent FSB overclock on my dual 2.0 Xeons by turning off hyperthreading (stepping I have no likey the overclocky) and dropping the multi from 20 to 16. So the overall clock speed is about the same as before (2.4GHZ neighborhood). I found some volt mods that can be done but that requires much better cooling.

My next project is trying to drop a newer 3400 V6 into my Cutlass with a 2.8, but If I throw a computer in there, I'll be sure to show pics of it!

I'm back at it....

Time to KICK IT UP A NOTCH

lol it's funny to see 50k 3dm01 points
