Thankyou Vivi for an excellent tutorial on tweaking 01. Definately some great stuff in there that I didn't know.....I will be sure to pass it along to my brothers over at NBOC. Most kind of you to share this info on a difficult bench. :alien:

No problem guys!

Also a note, for ati cards you have to use LOD aswel, look in your GUIDES section there is a guide for ATI and LOD.
U can stull use all the tweaks for your windows XP for the ati's.

and, about the 106 pci, i forgot to say P45 chipset boards are useless with pci-e, most cant go over 105. The x48's and stuff like that can go to 115.


Cool!

Many thanks for the guide, few people share so openly.


I'd seen D3D Overrider mentioned many times but never saw it explained

Hey Vivi, can you tell me what kind of help or hinderance HT is on this bench? I know what my results have been, but I am curious about your results.

HT hmm, i have no idea. :o

do you mean HT on i7's?

Yes sir, sorry HyperThreading with our i7's.

i have no idea, but it DOES help. I just dont know how much in 2001. People dont do 2001 with i7's because of how badly it fails.

Well, after extensive 01 benchin , I can tell you that I consistantly lose points with HT on....usually over 2k in the red.

i see, thanks for sharing.

maybe on day something will happen and i7's can do 2001 again :?

Fine Kal... a better tip :D. heres the secret for i7's benching 2001 (775 is still superior though). Since you guys can use any cooling bust out those LN2 pots! Get it cold and raise uncore as high as possible. It has a good effect :)
