eVGA 6800 Ultra

[Frown66]

The PCI-e version at Monarch Computers has it for $489.00 shipped.

I think thats probably the best deal on an ultra right now.

Anyone who has this card, what are your best overclocks on stock cooling? The HSF looks pretty beefy on its own.

the stock cooling is awesome. (has copper HS)

its loud tho

use Gainward ExperTool v3.20 to control the fanspeed, but even with only 50% fanspeed ~ its awesome

What are your temps at 425x1200?

@ 50% fan speed.... (gpu / mem)

idle = 46*C / 35*C
load = 66*C / 50*C


@ 100% fan speed.... (gpu / mem)

idle = 46*C / 34*C
load = 64*C / 48*C


my card has the same cooler ~ i used Arctic Ceramique on it

Awesome, thanks.

BTW, nice overclock on your 2.26! I have a p4 2.26 as well, but I got it waaay back in mid '02. It doesn't go anywhere near your speed. I'm wondering if I should try to get a better cooling solution. Its at 2.65 right now on stock cooling, but I'm really hoping for 2.8 to 3.0.

YW

na aint gonna happen. my 2.26b is brand new, just got it from newegg last week for $139 shipped.
your old 2.26b will prolly make it to 166fsb but thats about it for those old B0 stepping chips.
