Snagged this card for 249 end of December (Canadian dollars, but it does not make a difference these days).
Speeds:
stock e-VGA 8800GT
600/1500/900
OC'd w/ HR-03GT
700/1650/100
My HR-03GT has 120mm Yate Loon attached to it by ULTRA 120 wire clips. I have mounted the HSF towards the bottom of the case with the fan below it. It took all my slots, I may rethink the orientation later
Temps:
Stock Cooler + Stock Clocks (w/o updated BIOS for Fanspeed unlock)
Idle 57C
Load 90
HR-03GT + Stock Clocks
Idle 38C
Load 52
HR-03GT + OC'd
Idle 39C
Load 55
I am happy with the results![]()
congratulations ... that last number is 1000, right?
OC'd w/ HR-03GT
700/1650/100?
how much practical difference did it make in FPS ... or did you have a chance to benchmark before and after?
Fixed thanks
I didn't really benchmark at all. But Crysis in a certain map went from ~28 FPS to ~32
I am playing DiRT mostly right now and it is smoother in levels with other drivers now.
Am I oc'ing using proper method? What do most people use to artifact test? If using ATI Tool how long should I do the artifact scanner. I noticed I tried doing the artifact scanner for some long time, I left for 10 mins came back and it had reset 2 mins ago, So it might be artifacting on my current settings.
I have not noticed any artifacts in any games thus far.
cool, that is a nice improvement
and just monitor your temps ... and remember to check them occasionally as dust will build up in the best HSF air cooling solutions.
