Maybe it was Oklahoma was holding you back dent? As soon as you boned out you got a better cpu. LOL Glad to see ya finally get a boss hog chip. The amount of money ya'll have thrown at this gulftown is crazy. Glad to see it paying off for you guys.

nice joey! technically tied for 2nd with that wprime :)
so glad you got a good one mate! must be because I rma'd for ya? ;) rofl!


Things are going quite fail on my end. took the A out of the xpower and noticed 6 bent pins maybe that why it wont do 2000 cas 7 lol New xpower no bent pins ram still doesnt clock worth shit, need bios update though but...

New hyperX wont do rated timings 2250 cas 9 unless using xmp profile on RE3.

New lightning not going over 1200 would seal the deal, we'll see what happens this weekend.

Anyone try the slow base yet?

yes thats the slayer base, Its awesome if your cbb is relatively close to your cb :D
got my best superpi/pf/and aq3 with it

Super nice CPU dent!! 8800GTS 512MB got here this morning. I gotta go out of town. Will order VR's and caps Monday.

Is it pretty much about the same as the old F1EE? Slow pull down, maintains temps better unlike the quick pull down and quick to heat up 10-15 degrees of the fast base?

MSI Lightning = crap. Good luck Splave. Dosn't like votage, dosn't like cold, Dosn't clock over 1200 and the memory won't do over 1150. I went at it face first yesterday. Meaning i just jumped right to the high clocks and voltage. that didnt work out at all.
Got things setted this am and just started from the bottm and worked it up. Without a cpu over clock. 1190 gpu @+300 was the best i could do @ -120. More voltage would just crash it. And only 1150 on the memory @+250. Again higher clocks r more voltage did no gd at all. The thing would freeze up around -130. I have all the switches setup as avised by photos and my friend Rom. Iwas benching Vantage (i fucking hate Vantage), 3D05 and Aquamark. Tried the 290.99 drivers first and they sucked big time. Went to the 258.96's and they wern't better fr score but were a bit more stable.

Among other things now that i've put OCZ freeze on the CPU i'm cold bugging at -150. And thats throwing another wrench in the works. 3hrs yesterday and 3 hrs today along with about 40L on juice. I'm goin back to my old cards for hardware boints. This things not gonna beat my reeference card at anything.

ouch sorry duke. have you tried 118pci-e and or using the 4pin molex on the re3?
IMO some just dont clock well so I think your justified in not bashing your skull in with it and moving on.

What type of voltage is +300 for your card? I know my card from moa vid was like 1.15 and roms is 1.0x something.

Are you using +300vmem?

really sorry duder, but ocz freeze busting out the cold bug but you will get higher clocks for sure with less temps ;)

+300 mem was a no go. Made it crash the drivers. I didn't put the voltage read leads in the card. I didn't know/think there were differences. The highest i had my pci was 110. I'll give this thing another try. Just don't know when. Mother in law coming over tonight and heading out of twn tomorrw fr a few days. tuesday loks possible,

Someday i'll invest in a keyboard that works. I hate this thing.

@ rom, sweet pic of the classy 285 you picked up, here are some setting from shammy. Never got mine cold yet so gl man.


Shammy
~ 1.35v vgpu, ~ 2.2v memory vdd and memory vddq, ~ 1.35vpll to make it warmer for full pot.
