#3 P12191 - 2x MSI Lightning Xtreme 580 3GB - (875mhz, 2100mhz, 1.013v) - Core i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz - Corsair Vengeance 16GB @ 1600 - ASUS P8P67 Pro - Smokey - Corsair H70 - Link
Under the Nvidia dual card section. It's still showing my old score. It's correct on the overall leaderboard though. Gonna continue later on today. Wanna see how close I can get to those Tri-Fire 6970s. At the very least I should be able to get into Hawk's range. I only have a AX850 PSU compared to his 1200w so I should probably be careful lol

Thought id put temps as well
Note my side intake fan was off, cuz honestly it makes more noise than its worth

Uhmm, why is my CPU (Core i7 2600k) stuck at 1600MHz when I run the test? I'm pretty sure it runs faster than that when I'm using other applications.
Increased the voltage and pretty much maxed out my graphics cards. They're not going to budge past 900 MHz without some big time tweaking. So this will probably be the best I can do with my current setup.

Haunted said:ok... did a first run just now.
Where can I find the latest overclocking tools again?
(using an i5 and a GTX560)
msi afterburner for your graphics card, and ur motherboard bios/uefi for the CPU I know some motherboards come with windows utilities for overclocking, but thats ill advised.

Compared to consoles, definitely. But the framerate goes all over the place. Trying to maintain a solid 60 without any hiccups seems impossible.Smokey said:

P4018 2.8i5 760 2.8ghz (no OC), AMD 6870 1gb (no OC), 4gb DDR3 at 666mhz. I think I underclocked it tbh for silence. I hate loud computers :/

OLD SCORE:
OK, so. After reading the thread. Thinking about upgrading. Getting depressed with a bit of lag in RO2. Ive been toying around with Overclocking my cpu/memory.
Turns out my RAM might have even been very underclocked (running at 400mhz, as opposed to 800). Ive also given myself a nice boost on the CPU too. Got roughly an extra 0.4 Ghz on each core, 2.5 to 2.9 ghz. So not too bad since its all standard cooling and just fiddling with the settings.
Ive restarted my computer about 1000 times this afternoon, but I think these clocks are sticking. New results for me, 200 higher. Both CPU scores were about 500 higher.
A good days work I think haha.

Seems a tad high but not that bad for a reference cooler. I get about 8-10C below yours and i have a triple fan cooler. I also have an older case with not great airflow though.

P5031 - 1 GTX570 ASUS DUII - 870/1900/1038 - i72600K @ 4.5 - 8GB RAM @ 1600MHz - ASUS P8P67 - black_vegeta - Air - http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1879236?show_ads=true&page=%2F3dm11%2F1879236%3Fkey%3D3mKp6UFms3rkTS8UNBpusRRL4jtUHy
just spent an hour doing a semi-suicide run with the windows open (18c ambient) ... bit disappointing really
got CPU to 5.151 GHz with 1.50v (max I'm willing to pump through it), everything higher needed more vCore I guess
GPU did 930 stable, anything higher needs more volt again but I'm already at the software limit (bios flashed) so that's not improving unless I start soldering (99% sure I'll kill it given my escapades in the past so that's never gonna happen)
so all in all I only increased from 7270 to 7447 was hoping for 7800 or something. Although I guess it's a good sign that my cooling lets me run at close to maximum every day
so final submission for now (not going to be much better until outdoor temps drop significantly in late December I guess) :
-----
P7447 - 1 * Nvidia GTX 480 - 930/2100/1.213v - i7 2600K @ 5.153GHz - 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1885MHz - Asus P8P67 PRO - n0n44m - Watercooled - Link

This is what the temps look like at the daily settings (4.8Ghz/910core) run

Shame on me, this is what I should have had. I need to overclock my CPU.
Kyaw said:
yeah CPU is holding back, here's a comparison between yours and a run I did back in January with my CPU @ 4400 and the graphics at stock (just like yours)
GraphicsTest1 - 22.51 - 21.03 FPS
GraphicsTest2 - 23.5 - 21.88 FPS
GraphicsTest3 - 32.07 - 29.86 FPS
GraphicsTest4 - 16.47 - 15.61 FPS
PhysicsTest - 12.92 - 31.24 FPS
CombinedTest - 17.65 - 23.3 FPS
you score better due to improved drivers and all, but no chance to get higher with that physics & combined test... well overclocking will make it higher ofcourse but never 7k territory

My Rig is more than 1.5 years old. Have not update anything. Waiting for Solid state to get cheaper. That is where i have a bottle neck.

who me? 1080p maxed and everything runs fine, BF3 shouldn't look bad at whatever brings me 60 fps either
SLI 480 means: used card, new PSU (HX650 now), new waterblock, and the new overclock settings will probably be lower than optimal because my current card isn't the best clocker out there
upgrade to single 580 means: pay 200+ assuming I sell the 480 and 75 assuming I can even sell the waterblock for a ~20% upgrade (when overclocked).
I'd rather pocket all that cash and get a next-gen Nvidia card sometime next year I guess
or that sexy HMZ-T1. Anyway need to finish uni and get a job first lol---
also you could just put 1.1v or more through those cards for benching. I mean my 480 came with 1.088v at stock lol (bad clocker ... ). Hell everyone used to bench their stock 480s at 1.138v, and those haven't got the better cooling and extra VRMs of a Lightning

I know. I'm not pushing them as hard as I can since I only have a Corsair AX850. Want to be careful. Is there some type of program that I can run on my CPU that will tell me how much wattage my machine is using?
