My Original System Post
So I have had the system now for around three months. I think I found the sweet spot for overclocking it on air. I am running at 3455 mhz (230 x 15) with ram at 5:4 divider. Sisoft reports a 9730 for the cpu, with 4550 on ram. In 3Dmark 05, I receive a 4993 score on my 6800GT at 410/1100.
The tricky part was discovering that the board undervolts my cpu, so I had to compensate with a higher core voltage of 1.475v with an actual of 1.424v. DDR runs at 2.8v with agp at 1.6v.
I was able to attain 3775 (250 x 15), however, it would crash once in windows, a sure sign I need more advanced cooling. However, the gains to get to that speed would be minimal considering the cost.
Right now, considering the ABIT board reports temps higher then actual, I receive about 55c idle, and 75c load. Case temp stats between 25c idle, 30c load. And PWM 45c idle, 50c load.
So there you go, any comments suggestions or observations would be greatly appreciated and most assuredly welcomed.
