lets see your rig - Page 54

I can never get passed 5,500 in 06 , its my slow cpu. :(

StaticInMyHead · 01-05-2008, 02:43 PM

Actually I don't. With that much graphics power, my CPU becomes the bottleneck. At a stock speed of 2.4GHz I was getting 13.5k. With it at 3.2 now, I get like 16.2k.

When the penryn comes out, I will be buying it lol. Something to give the 3way a little push. Then it should definitely break 20k.

**forcifer** · 01-05-2008, 02:51 PM

penryn did come out. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115034

you also might want to get more ram if it will fit. most people say 1gb per gpu minimum. looking at your pic it says 2gb, but in the "my system" thing it says 4 which is right?

StaticInMyHead · 01-05-2008, 03:39 PM

There is a new revision of the Penryn that isn't a Yorkfield that Intel is set to release in a few months. They've been holding off to let AMD catch up though. I can live with my Q for now, but I'll snag one of those when they hit the market.

I do have 4GB installed, but it is a 32 bit Windows, so I obviously don't get all of it. Weird thing is, I get less with more GPUs installed lol. With one 8800, I have 2816MB. Two 8800s gives me 2558MB, and with three there's 2302MB. Don't ask me why. On my old gaming machine I was able to convince it to give me 3.5GB, but I don't see the options for that in this particular BIOS. I did that on a DFI board back in the day.

I just OCed the RAM a little bit to 933MHz and it gave me 16291 marks. woohoo.

it's stealing some of the hard ram for the cards- something it technically shouldnt do, but does anyway.

how do you maage that? at 3.0 it shoots to 60C on orthos, but it stays there under load (maybe goes up 2C for each extra orthos). It hovers around 38 or so running GTR with the 7800GT hanging in around the 55-60 mark.

**forcifer** · 01-05-2008, 05:06 PM

which revision do you have? if you have the B3 then you will have a hotter core, G0 is a more recent revision and therefore cooler

**magnethead** · 01-05-2008, 05:56 PM

i wouldnt have a clue how do i know?

**forcifer** · 01-05-2008, 08:59 PM

download and run CPUz and look at where it says revision or stepping
http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

**magnethead** · 01-05-2008, 09:18 PM

stepping B revision G0

HawMan · 01-05-2008, 09:25 PM

All you Intel fans are making me jealous

my board only supports intel so i went the intel way. Had it been AMD board i'd a gone that way. Doesnt make a bit of difference to me.

HawMan · 01-05-2008, 09:29 PM

Same, but id love to try Intel out

.

Why is your cpu underclocked?

**TheMatt** · 01-05-2008, 10:06 PM

Because his FSB is overclocked. Magnethead, you should definitely be able to get a stable OC on the 7x multiplier without a Vcore raise.

StaticInMyHead · 01-05-2008, 11:55 PM

I was an AMD enthusiast too, but they let me down. :(
It's a shame I lose RAM to the cards.. Not like 2.25GB is enough for them anyway, right? Greedy 8800s...

**oddball2910** · 01-06-2008, 12:07 AM

@magnethead: I have the same revision as you, only difference i noticed, is my core voltage is only 1.232V whereas yours is 1.328V. Other than that I'm not sure why, possibly the side intake fan on my computer? (cheap led one that came with case, but directed above the CPU)

EDIT: i just noticed: you turned down your core multiplier to a 6? how come?

**emosun** · 01-06-2008, 01:56 AM

Ok here updated pictures of my rig. If you want to see it before I think its back on page ten.

Yes I made the desk. And carpeted it too. lol. I made it because I got sick of tiny desks that were to flimsy and not big and rugged enough. Its super strong and is holding 1 pc on the bottem , my game pc and two monitors in the middle, and 3 monitors on top. I like my crt's and am not gonna upgrade till they either break or are too low a resolution. But ill probly paint them black because the beige is kinda ugly. lol. Right now they both run at 1024x1280 which is just fine for me. That graphic on the screens is my screen saver and it looks really cool, I can link you to it if your interested.

StaticInMyHead · 01-06-2008, 02:24 AM

Yeah. Paint them black. lol

**oddball2910** · 01-06-2008, 12:32 PM

Why do you have 5 monitors

it allows the 7 multiplier? Did i miss something in BIOS (version F12)?

ok i checked BIOS, it's set at an 8 multiplier but cpuz is only recognizing as 6, i set it as 384 by 8 to get 3 true GHz but CPU-Z doesnt match.

but by the nature of the beast, i'll load it down and see if it switches up.

figure this out if you would... (click thumbnail for screenshot)
