ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Thread

WoW. I need you to teach me the ways of 7600GT OCing
I was running ad-aware the other night, and opened ATITool and the cube was open, and the whole thing locked And I only have a SLIGHT OC...

[The Pook]

Ad-aware hogs the CPU
ATITool hogs the CPU
Windows XP hogs the CPU

They don't work well together.

Meh, I used coolbits to OC it... and just to test, I opened ATI tool with ONLY IE7 open, and it was OK for about 5 seconds, then froze again.

Yet I never, ever, get GPU crashes or artifacts?

[The Pook]

ATITool uses a lot of CPU power, especially when the "3D View" thinger is open.

It's pretty normal when running other stuff...

heres my latest efforts using 401 again, 3.26ghz, could prolly squeek it to 3.28 np.. this is with stock clocks on my video card... i can pull out a 7200 with it overclocked.... oh and my memory is at 466 mhz (933ddr)

Not bad Pi time for a E4300.
Whats your RAM timings?
(Open up MemTest and post a screenie of it, if you can. Interested in SubTimings too. )

Good bench to test your CPU/MEM/FSB.



Notice, that different versions give you a different results.

Still reppin' the 650i.
(Unfortunately--*gets shot*)

Thanks pook. How are you o/cing that 7600gt; did you flash the BIOS?

[dpawl31]

Coolbits is what I use, ATI tool is a little irritating.

ATITool here.
I'm modding a BIOS for my 7600GT ATM, actually. My RAM OC sucks because my memory runs hot stock, so even with a vmod, I only got an extra 5Mhz telling me that it's just to hot to be OCed much right now.

Since I can't get a high clock on my 7600GT, tightening the memory timings on it while still trying to maintain a similar OC on my memory.
