That's an Intel boxed cooler :p how can't it touch the IHS ? Dikke vingers issue ? those are good up to 3.6-4Ghz orso, but that's it... my E8600 was already at 52°C idle at 3.6ghz with 600FSB

Wtf, I can't even boot at 401 fsb with this board ???
Updated bios to 1301, same ****.

w3540 arrived, lets see if I can do 3D01 with it :)

why bother ? just focus on 03/05 and the rest on it... Think you can hardly beat a 6Ghz E8600 on 01

Pretest lods , crossfire drivers etc...

Only one driver for xp.
Want to score more than 102k on 01 :)

Rest I'll test on dualboot.

Gamer, please select benchmarks and pre-test BCLK/VGA settings before sunday. I want to know exactly what numbers you want to hit ... otherwise it will be very difficult and we'll use too much LN2 on certain benchmarks.

Session at Albrecht was so succesful because he was well-prepared: FSB/mem/vga settings were pre-tested and he knew exactly what scores he wanted to beat.

To do list :
Flash cards : Done
Check overclock VGA : 1000/1300 = check for safe settings @ 1.250vgpu.
Check BCLK after flash :
Bech 01 - 03 - 05 -06 - Vantage with Triple- quadro cards :
Single card will not be needed since we benched 295GTX last time ?

01 will not result in a lot more points. With 24h of tweaking, you migh get 105k at 5.3G

Even if we use the E8600 ?

No, if you use the W3540.

Want to use E86 platform as well under LN2?
