Re: The Tech Forums Official 3DMark06/03 Top List
Well.... I ran 3DMark06 last night, and got about what I expected, but not what I hoped..... Ran a 6600 something, submitted the ORB results or whatever, but I didn't take time to post it, cause I was practically asleep at my desk.
I was looking at CPU-Z, and i can't remember the Stepping it has, but it says that the CPU was running at 2.66 Ghz.... 333 Mhz FSB with an 8 multi. I thought this one was supposed to have a multi of 8.5 for 2.83 Ghz. Oh well... perhaps a Mobo issue on the Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6..... ANOTHER thing I noticed is that when I opened 3DMark, it said that I was using an Intel Q9550, but it said it was in the Pentium III family...... say wha?
So yeah... I have ATI Tool all set to go, and I just need a buncha time, and patience to try an OC the rig (again).... I also have to get something going to monitor temps. I am going to work on the CPU first, hoping to hit 3.2-3.4 on air with the TRUE, and maybe even 3.6...... 3.8 would be pretty sweet, and highly doubt I'd hit 4.0..... on air. Once I get that running stable, Ill get the GPU OC'd.
Anyone recommend a good stable OC on a Q9550 for a rig that runs 24x7?
