Awe, look at what I gone done did!

http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=3901060 is my latest.

My max temp is like 32c, I think. I'm not done with my case, my air pressure is like a vaccuum right now.

I'm going to mod it in a couple days and I should go down. My idle's like 27c right now though, with my ambient being 23c. 🙂

My as3 has yet to settle in, since I just got the mobo and cpu today. 🙂
 
On the Tornado being loud, it's not untolerable, but you know it's there. 🙂

It's more of a woosh than a whine. 🙂
(In fact it has nearly no whine to it)
 
List vcore please!!!


160fsb and 400ddr.....nice

I got 9600 with my 8500le with 249.5/249.5 default and my 1.6@2.67ghz w/ 333mhz ddr....I doubt my le will get that high without cooling mods but it looks like the 400ddr is helping nicely....

Keep tweakin on it! You got a ways to catch up. Compare

Yup, when you have a 128MB card compared to a 65, that's what tends to happen. 😛

I'm getting some Corsair XMS PC3200, I'm going for DDR480 @ 2.9v vmem.


Also, my other specs are as follows:

Retail ATi Radeon 8500 (64MB) @ 290/300
1.6v vcore, 1.575v was nearly completely stable, but I put it at 1.6v for extra stability. 🙂

Here's a little something as a first day overclock coming to an end: http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=3901060

😉

 
After you filter through the drivers for the 8500 you will be amazed what your system is capable of.
Nice overclock BTW🙂
 
How are you getting your radeon 8500 video card memory and core speeds at different settings? If I do that, it starts doing weird stuff. Mine is stock 295/295 so that might be part of the problem.

Hint: Get a Geforce4 Ti4400 or 4600 😉 😀

I was thinking about it, but with R300 only a week away (exactly a week) I'll just wait for R300 and buy that.
I should have one of the highest 3dmark scores. Not to mention that I'm going to be getting some Corsair XMS PC3200 and shooting up to DDR480 soon. 🙂

 
I have almost the same setup as crawlingeye. I also have just about the same score (7300ish) system and video card not overclocked.
My system doesn't overclock well, so I just leave it at that. Although I got a generic 350watt PS I got with the cyberpowersystem.com deal, that may be the bottleneck.

Does anybody with my setup have problems finishing 2001 SE at all? When I did it with 2001, it finished with the (7300ish) not overclocked. I don't see why, since I didn't overclock at all.
 
You people are silly, comparing an R200 to ti4400's and ti4600's? lol

There's only like a $150 price difference? lol

When I get my R300 I'll brag claiming that it's ok to compare out of the gen cards. 😉
