Well it is official. Ten lbs DICE and 4 hours later and nothing to show for. 1st I tired working on the SuperPi contest. That was a no go so I switched it up to the bot and my 8600gt's. That was also a no go. So I went ahead and tried my 295 and guess what, that was a no go too. I did manage a 355k Aquamark run but BLEEPING cpu-z 1.52 glitched out in the screenshot and showed me with a 20 mult instead of the 21 mult I was running which showed my BCLK incorrect. Didn't notice it until I went to upload it at the bot. These single PCB 295's aren't as good as there dual PCB brothers. They don't overclock as well and softmods don't work on them. I wish I would have known that. Of course it all could be driver related. I need to roll back a driver or two and see.
As of lately I have had more downs than ups on overclocking and hardware purchases. I need a break. Got to get away and get my head clear and come back with a new game plan. I'll be out of the overclocking office for a few days. Goin to get back into some gaming on Aug 18th with Wolfenstein. Maybe that is what I need. I just know somethin has to give.
