what is max vnb? maybe we can ask our mod specialists to have a look at your board and recommend mods...

If by vnb you mean chipset voltage it goes up to 1.96v, and the LDT voltage goes up to 1.5v.......and the memory and vcore go as high as you could want.

The board is DFI LP UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert. I also have a regular SLI-DR and an Ultra-D I'd be glad to have modded.

EDIT/UPDATE: I gained 500 points in PCMark05 with the gpu @ 16x, not enough for the next spot on any of the 4 chips so screw it.

The cpu is cooled by the coolant in the chiller directly flowing through the water-block. And the chipset/gpu loop is also cooled by the chiller but to a lesser degree by having the loop just pass through the chiller bath. I get no condensation that way.
The gpu stays a little below ambient and the chipset right @ ambient which is 21.5C right now.

Pretty smart eh?;)

Are you forcing 3D clocks? Not sure how to do it on ATI and it seems like all the top pc05ers are running ATI....

Nope not forcing anything other than Ocing the core and voltage with afterburner.

Quick search shows using profiles. Create and save a profile, and then open up the XML file and change all want_0 settings to 3D values.

I will have to try that today and see if my score goes up. I need a better card to reach the next spot up on the list. There is no doubt. I'm sure there are PCM05 tweaks to learn.

.....................and the craziness continues. :ohcrap:

---So far I've benched Optys 154,152,146, and on the way for $10 is a 144, and the 170 dual-core that I won using the 154 that was way too expensive(now deceased-RIP).

---Benched Athlon 64 3200+ Venice, 3500+ Venice, 3500+ New Castle(938-pin...lol), 3700+ San Diego, and I have on the way 2 x 3000+ Venice along with another 3200+ Venice, and a Sempron 3200 of some sort.

---Benched 64x2 4200+ Manchester.

---Benched FX-53 and FX-55.

Opty 146 rules so far imho with the 86% overclock I got with just my chiller(91% is #1).:cool3: It looks like there is potential for a 100% overclock on the 144:taunt:

THEN>>>>>>>>>>>it's time to fire up the new Intel Rig and try it out on the chiller bench. I got an MSI Big Bang with a 920DO for starters. I'm pretty excited. :D

Benching Rules :thumbsup:........well, next to snowmobiling and sex.

EDIT: Nothing left to bench today except this old 462 stuff...I have 4 chips........but I must modify trhe socket to fit the chiller block. Got to grind down the part that says socket 462 on it to the height of the core.

just hold down the chiller block...lol

lol.....it would be crooked and not touching at all.

Got it all hooked up, but I think all my IDE drives are bad. Maybe some day I'll bench those chips, but back to socket 939 tomorrow......and then on to more modern stuff.

Dying to hook up this X-power!

EDIT: I decided to give it another try with TinyXP instead of 7 and it worked, now I must bench and my back hurts from shoveling.
