Yea, just pimpin my rig while I can with these "measly" 7900 GTs.

Very nice. You're using water on both CPU and GPU?

 

[thilanliyan]

Nice!! You broke 1fps in the 06 CPU test.

 

[Munky]

I almost broke 1 fps in the second cpu test with an Opty 165, so that Conroe better have broken 1 fps in the first cpu test.

 

[compgeek89]

yea, water on both...

Beautiful, im glad to see the OCs on these going so well.

Hopefully the retail chips are right in line with the engineering samples (they usually are).

If the low end chips OC well, AMD is in serious crap with the enthusiast market.

 

[compgeek89]

their low end chips are going to be FSB limited @ ~3500/3000MHz

 

[Ika]

that's a very nice conroe OC. I assume that's the midrange model, at around $300?

I think you may be the first person to surpass 10,000 in 3dMark06. Futuremark says they don't release a new benchmark test until someone beats 10,000. I guess you've now given them a reason to keep their jobs. Congrats!

Nah, nowhere near the first There is one guy with 13.5k.. kingpin they call him @ XtremeSystems. Dual x1900 XTXs @ some insane speeds like 900/950.. all sub-zero cooling, the works.

This will be the $320 chip, though my special sample cost $500.. the price we pay for having stuff before everyone else

The boards will improve.

AND he will only have 2MB L2.. and do you want to drop all the money you might save on the CPU on the motherboard? If' he's trying to save money that isnt going to help.

There's also a lower end model coming out a bit later that has a lower initial FSB (800) and a higher multi. That one should be able to overclock almost as well as the 6600. I doubt the 2MB of L2 cache difference will mean much, either, but I guess some would like to have it.

Nice overclocking, btw.

Thanks...
