Cool It!

No tearing, no artifacts!! if it does it freezes. That is why I keep the gpu down around 660. for now it will only go higher on Aquamark (672)
pencil modded the memory that is why it goes so high.
as to temps it really depends on how cool it is in the room or outside. Last night when I made that run I was idling at 48C. you saw the 51C before it had fully cooled back down. I have never no matter what I am doing ever seen over 61C. This winter I am going to rip it up with this card. I understand it so much more now than just a few weeks ago.
The Pencil mod on the memory and gpu should be done to get more out of the card. They are very easy especially now with the Head gear you ordered so you can see what the heck your doing!! I have to use it.
I also took off the little fan I had over my cards fan and added the same size only it is 70mm x 25 and moves far more air. My temp fell from 48C at idle today to 45C So it was worth it. It only cost a couple bucks at Nexfan. Since I installed the Microsoft update for Conroes I can run 4gigs of memory so much higher and tighter that I am playing with that right now. Hope to see you back at it soon Daniel. Chris that was a nice score. Be patient, you will get more and more from your machine. To show you how thing have progressed over time .I used to be really proud of this one. At the time for a 5900FX is was at the top of the world!!
That was with my 2.4C before I got the memory that finally unleashed that machine to a daily clock of 3637mhz.
So when you knock off 35,000+ be real happy!!
