Broke 8000 3dmark05!

[Dethred]

Yay,

I finally broke 8000 in 3dmark05! From a stock 72xx to 8033 after a bios volt mod and some hefty overclocking I am pretty happy. I think its pretty good for stock cooling on my whole system. Finally happy to break that mark after several attempts at tweaking my system. before the volt mod I was only able to hit 7834.

And here I am happy with my set up, just breaking 5000. Way to rain on my parade, bastard!

Although I don't think my score is TOO bad.

Welcome to the club.

Hey, you're on water. Not fair.:p Did you do a bios volt mod or hard mod?

Yeah I think I might go on water this summer. I think I am done with it for now. Out of money from replacing motherboards, and have some school to pay for.

Neither, I'm on stock voltage. Although I may give the voltmod a shot tomorrow.

dang... I have to get watercooling badly. One guy that was on water that did the bios volt mod had the Nvidia control panel autodetect his card to 499/1.2ghz

Took me 30 minutes total after double checking and backing up the original bios on a few different floppies just in case.
