Hi guys and gals, Some people may remember me from way back when - I was once a competitive overclocker up until around 2008, I came to OC3D via a merger of forums with what was left of extremeprometia here in the UK where I was also a moderator of the forum. Since that time I remain a...

First it's down, then it's up now its completely unobtainable.... What have you done? What are you going to do?

http://www.vr-zone.com/articles/R680_To_Score_20K_In_3DMark06/5325.html Interesting as this is more desirable than any crossfire/SLI solution: Fudzilla reported that AMD plans to introduce a dual chip card called Radeon HD 2950X2X and it will have two RV670 chips on a single PCB. They called...

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=163929 It's there in all its glory and seem to work wonders for the shader clocks.

Not sure if you guy have seen this but Seagate drives now come with 32mb of cache (500GB upwards) and perpendicular 2nd gen Platters (assume x2 but maybe x4). Anyone know if this offers true value for money, performance leap over say Hitachi T7K250 SATA2 250GB drives? At £82 a drive for 500GB...

http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/10/30/nvidia-8800gt-price-caught Interesting comment that The Inq made referring to the 1GB unit = the 1GB unit due out in December will be around the same price as the current 512mb versions available today :O Mav

This is what I call a self fulfilling prophecy, but it helps to wrtie it down so you can drww the conclusions you need: Okay after reading Kemnny's and Dizzy's OC thing it got me thinking a little. FSB is king - biut is more important to have ram at warp speeds and cpu at high mhz but lower...

http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/10/15/g92-scores-outed YOU MAY HAVE heard that the upcoming G92 has some pretty interesting performance numbers. All we can say is life sucks if you recently bought a GTX. The 8800GT with MeII-32, a QX6800 and 2G of DDR2-1000 ram all on a 780i...

This test is dominated in the top50 places by Q6600 or higher quad cores CPU's. However, I-Ram in place on un-optimised installation sees my E6850 at only 3.83ghz move up to 3rd place in CPC Benchies (45th overall) - using dual core cpu. Beaten only by K404 (DI @ 4.75ghz) and A N Other, rest...

For £234 you can now buy from Overclockers the 1GB DDR4 2900Pro. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=161533 The above thread shows some lucky guy getting his with XT BIOS already installed. Clocks look better than XT at present and using the XT BIOS from the same...

http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2007/10/05/nvidia-kills-8800gts-320mb We knew that Nvidia was planning to kill the 8800GTS 320MB in order to make room for the 65nm die-shrink that the world has come to know as G92. But it turns out that you cannot order 320MB versions any more...

Two sets of results in regard this combo: The best ram clocks were with these settings (saved to BIOS2): Ai Overclocking = Manual CPU Ratio Control = Manual Ratio CMOS Setting = 9 FSB Frequency = 463 PCIE Frequency = 120 DRAM Frequency = DDR3-1852MHz 2T DRAM Timing Control = Manual CAS#...

http://www.vr-zone.com/articles/Intel_Prepares_DX48BT_Board_For_Q1_2008/5304.html Intel will have an updated version of their DX38BT board using the X48 chipset and we heard it is likely to be called DX48BT or DX38BT2. Intel X48 is essentially X38 chipset but cherry picked so overclockability...

Just a quick question regarding the above. To gain best performance from a raid set-up on Intel chipset - are these drivers essential? Cheers Mav
