hey guys,

I am wondering if these look ok? I got some weird scores in Sandra05. Just wanting to double check these before I post my scores so I can get made fun of. Abit AV8, FX-55, OCZ Plat rev2 1gig, evga 6800Ultra.

CPU Operating Speed: 2600 (200)
External Clock- 204/66/33mhz
Multiplier Factor x13.0
AGP Rating 66mhz (Fixed?)

Voltages- [These were "target" voltages I believe, not what they are actually getting, I can see those with another program though. I guess they are ok. Only slight variation in CPU core, NB, and AGP (Very slight).]

CPU- 1.500v
AGP- 1.55
DDR SDRAM 2.65v (with OCZ Plat Rev. 2, is this too high or too low?)
NB 1.55
SB- 2.50
HyperTrans- 1.20

This was all automatically set up. I didn't mess with any of it.


Please let me know if those are correct. I just want stock settings for no. I want to make sure everything is tweaked and stable at stock speeds first.
If something is wrong please let me know what to do and what the changes will do.

Thanks again,
Rhin0

everything looks good to me, you ram voltage looks a bit low. try 2.7 just to make sure. VERY nice system, btw.

Thanks zakee. I paid for it myself too so it is all that much better. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed I don't run into any probs. So far so good though.

I'll keep in mind the ram voltage bump. I'll check OCZ spec and run some prime95 and see what it shows. It seems to be pretty stable so far. That voltage that is shown in my post is what I think it selected automatically to feed the ram.

Actually I just checked Abit EQ right now and it looks like the ram is getting 2.71 volts. Sounds perfect!


Thanks for your input man! Keep an eye out for my test results and thoughts on my system, plus full specs and eventually i'll get some pics!

thanks again,
Rhin0

Yeah, after I make sure nothing is defective and just make sure all is stable stock I will probably try for a mild overclock of the CPU and video card. I hate to void any warranties and I don't want to try to cheat any companies though either, so I may wait a while.

I have retail cooling solution so i'd upgrade to the Zalman for sure just run air with that
