Been busy playing around with my new 165, and it's turned out to be quite a blast
. Does 2.8 GHz easy, although I had to bump the Vcore up one notch (other CCBBE/CCB1E's usually do 2.8 without touching voltage). I don't have a problem with that though, it still runs with reasonable temperatures and it's damn fast. I tried for 3 GHz but my Zalman just can't keep up. I'll try again when I get a new heatsink.
Also decided to see what my 7800 GTX could handle. I got the memory up to 1.36 GHz, which is pretty good considering they're 1.6ns chips. The core was doing great at 491 (shader/ROP, geometric runs at 500+), but it began artifacting at 500-505 or so. When I backed it off to 491, it was still showing some occasional yellow dots in ATiTool that weren't there previously. I've tried clearing my board's caps and reapplying paste (maxes out at 66 C now
), but it still does it. I'll just leave it at 491 for now, seems to be doing okay aside from that.

I guess I forgot to upload my 2005 score to the ORB, but ah well. I tried running PCMark 2005, but Maxthon screws up the webpage test, and for some reason the video encoding part won't load up even though I have Windows Media Encoder installed. I might do a SPECviewperf run later, it takes a while to download. I'll try to remember to run that fr-025 demo later, as well as Cinebench (good multicore CPU bench).
