RavenSEAL's HD 6870 xFIRE 8x/8x PCIe 2.1 Benchie

[RavenSEAL]

lol yeah I actually never played it due to not having a system that could back then :whiste:

Now that I do I haven't yet either lol, I did play and beat Crysis 2 though after they patched it for DX11 and all that jazz

Thanks, I enjoy overclocking more than playing many games out right now

Looks like you're doing a nice job!

I tried for almost a week to line my baby up to 4.0 but I guess I got a bad batch, it just won't sit stable!

That's why there is a CPU-Z Validation & a GPU-Z screenshot

I didn't load for me the first time. *facepalm
Damned Sprint internet!

What is your cpuNB at? Sometimes Thuban wants it around 2.8GHz or better for 4Ghz, higher the cpuNB the better anyways though

Keep it cool too, Phenom II loves to be cold.

NB is sitting at 2.8GHz/1.3v, my new case dropped the max temps by 8C though! :awe:

What kind of volts are you using for 4GHz, what are your load temps?

Most X6s do 4.0 @ 1.4v, mine isn't even stable at 1.45v

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Go higher if your temps are fine, 1.5/1.55v is the real cut off.

I'll see what I can do

Let's keep this thread about GPUs. :biggrin:

 

[BallaTheFeared]

lol, more fps when cpu limited! See it's still about gpus

I had an early 1055T that needed 1.55v to be stable at 4ghz so you're not alone.

I honestly think it might be my board, not exactly the most complete packages in the business. However, the price was right...

I had a 1090T system around a year ago that struggled to get to 4.0GHz. It was the motherboard. I went from an MSI 870 board (which was 3.8 GHz stable at 1.45v) to a Crosshair IV board and was able to hit 4.0 at 1.45v.

Funny, as I owned a 1035T for a while that hit 4.0GHz ... no joke. CPU-Z validated on this forum somewhere.

EDIT: Found it. Little higher voltage than I remember though!

Man I've owned a Crap ton of hardware.

Thanks for the benches! I'm about to go 6870 crossfire myself. Looking forward to it.
