I can run 4.650 with the graphics test like 03,05, aqua....

It's with the cpu test like vantage and 06 I have trouble getting up there.
The 975 has always seemed to require heavy voltage...As far as the IOH I run this at 1.34-1.38...with the ICH the P6T7 will only allow you to go to 1.40......The other one IOH PCI-E or it could be ICH PCI-E I leave on auto...

I think it's the ram..I just did a 4525 run in 3D06 but loosened the timings to 8-8-8-21 and had a good run....It could be I need to loosen them more for Vantage..Vantage is more CPU oriented than any of the Futuremark test...

This is my PB with a single 5970 and at 4.525... later I will try 4550 and loosen the timings to 9-9-9-24...This is at 1451 ram speed....



was the ram speed..I loosened timings to 9-9-9-24 and ran 4.550..Good run but only 45 points more... Couldn't do 4575..I am wondering if i should try a lower ram speed like 1101????I am also using the XFX volt tool mostly because of a article(many) that I read on I4 and a few other places about major problems with the 5870 and 5970..some of the articles point towards AB causing the gray screen lock-ups..This could and probably means nothing.....
