I posted earlier but I got 4727 for the test. It was bad at one point 1FPS..LOL I thought my system was pretty good... Still not sure about this overclocking thing, I'll have to find some more research on what to tweak first and so on. You guys have been a big help..I was 2.4 and now I'm almost 2.8 and my ram is at 388Mhz. Not bad, I'm not sure how high to put the vcore as it is at 1.525 now, then I could go to 160FSB and then maybe 400 for the ram. That would be sweet...Enough rambling here is my score 3Dmark 03 <BR><BR>Cayman<a target=new class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=118276">4727</a>

Cayman not too bad dude! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> You'll find 3DMark03 is all videocard limited, that's why you get very little improvement when you only overclock your system. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"><BR><BR>As for voltage, I'd go to about 1.6-1.7 with the stock heatsink. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I went to 160FSB and 400 on the ram with 1.6vcore and my system wouldn't post. I had to go back in, take it to 157 and 393 and then I can post. At Idle my CPU is about 30C and playing a game it goes to about 48C. My system doesn't overclock very well...Oh well. Still having a ball...<BR><BR><BR>Cayman
