    GeForce 6800 Ultra problem

    what ARE your temps? i doubt its throttling. did you try disabling fastwrites? i forget how, but try to find the command to show hidden options in the bios. do that, then make sure "nvidia speedup" or similar is disabled in the "cell" menu. that automaticly overclocks your card, and it can...

    The Power Supply Conundrum

    if the PROCESSOR was using 12v, think of the heat THAT would generate! its pretty obvious it uses the 12v rail, since all recent mobos have the new 12v connector for the processor. that was unnecessary earlier because processors didn't need the extra juice. thats just the way processors work...

    5201 3dmark05 with GeForce6800/71.84 Xtreme-G

    thats hard to believe...insane my 6800GT seems to have some problems at anything over 400MHz, even with a VF-700Cu.

    SuperPI Contest!!!

    thats for 1M man, not 32M :) still, 24s is insane for 1m. for comparison i get 32s. yeah i don't care if you use a patch for the northwoods, i doubt any will beat the prescotts in the top 5 so it shouldn't matter anyway ;) awesome score BTW thugs :shocked: Nick PS how did you oc that...

    6600gt performance good with unreal 3 engine

    yeah, but the engine isn't done yet and im sure the final will run better. i can imagine a 6600GT running UE3 at 1024x768 with no eye candy (AA/AF) at 30+ fps average, which IMO is damn good for how good UE3 looks :) UE3 looks to be very CPU limited like the Source engine, advanced physics etc...

    Asus Dual GPU 6800Ultra!!!

    http://hardocp.com/ this is for real; they saw it in person. i doubt they will make many of them though probably a limited edtion product. i'd rather have two seperate video cards then 2 cores on one card personally, less heat issues i would assume.

    Question about CS: Source and vid card

    are you using AA and AF? if so then i would guess yes, your video card is limiting it. thats a really nice score for 4x 8x, good job :)

    Help me I may be a retard!!!

    yeah i just payed the $13 and got a huge tube of ASC from ZZF. good stuff, and i dont have to worry about it frying my $400 graphics card. the temp difference is more then 1C from generic paste, more like ~4C. not bad for the few pennies you spend on each cpu core :P
