CrackHead Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Congratations on the modding, I can't wait to see how much further you can push it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raven65 Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Nice mod. Now your giving me ideas, I wonder if an Xp 90 would work on my 6600? hummmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now your giving me ideas, I wonder if an Xp 90 would work on my 6600?hummmm 466494[/snapback] I'm going to try and put one on my x850xt, it will be hard, but I might be able to pull it off. They are only 30 now anyway, so why not pick up a extra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 I'm going to try and put one on my x850xt, it will be hard, but I might be able to pull it off. They are only 30 now anyway, so why not pick up a extra. 466495[/snapback] I thought about it, but in my case it stuck out waaay too far towards the mobo. I had to trim a decent amount where the fins spread outward on the silentboost just to get it flush with chipset cooler(a fat lil epox cooling bastard), and the xp-90 heat pipes will stretch even further into the mobo. I would have rotated it and clipped off some of the "wingspan" on the xp-90, but then the heatpipes would be in the way of the tv tuner...not much cooling real estate on the aiw cards But if your mobo/card has a different layout and you trim the xp-90 enough, it might make it. I say go for it. If anyone is gonna make it work, I think you have the best chance For anyone else that wants to pop a nice big hs on the graphics card, this is what I had to do to get the big silentboost to fit(just to fit gpu, doesnt include mounting holes) : Not drawn to scale, lol (phear my mspaint skillz) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 a fat lil epox cooling bastard haha! nearly choked on my sandwich! its not really thaaaat fat though! Not quite sure they needed the fan. I have unplugged mine and it only runs warm to the touch (unless my chipset voltage is 1.75v!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Lol, I think i'm still at 1.7v from when I was trying to get 2.7+ bench stable(I failed by the way...2665 is good tho ). It still doesnt get hot, so I just leave it there Its not that thick, but its definitley one of the bigger stock chipset coolers i've seen.

markiemrboo Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Yes, definately the widest one I have seen for stock cooling! Did you take it off and replace the pink chewing gum under there (it's a real pain in the arse to clean that stuff off) with something half decent?

tbone2sk Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 puck I want to see some nice benches! You have to up your card voltage, I say push it up to 1.85vgpu, I want to see 500 core! With my old card I could get 3200 in 05 without overclocking the cpu much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my old card I could get 3200 in 05 without overclocking the cpu much. 468248[/snapback] I do too, but I need a dmm! I really dont want to up the voltage without monitoring it, and I cant cuz my analog one died. I did turn it a *real* little bit and past 460...got it to bench 05 at 463 core with some snow on mountains of test3, and I think the volts were only around 1.75. So far my highest 05 was 3073...yesterday while futuremark was down...I'm sure I can get more tho - I still really want 500 core, but 3200 3dmarks would be great even if I cant get the core there. **Slightly OT** Oh, How are you and nerm doing on your bench quest? The highest orb has is like 3900@560 core(:drool:), but I think you two working together could hit that record 4k mark - It *was* on a intel system after all...how hard could it be to beat??? Heh, j/k ppl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) I am waiting for him to get his PS, then if he can get 3000 out of his 3400 the WR will be much easier. 469782[/snapback] Sounds like a plan...keep us posted **edit** Lol, guess what? I just came back from getting a new mm(analog again...only digital ones radio shack had were like 100 bucks), and came back to check my gpu volts finally. As I was taking off my side, I pull the volt mod wire and take it off by accident...oops...After I put everything back together and resolder the volt mod, I power up and woot! I get a voltage reading finally! Well, it was 1.6volts...I began cursing about the volt mod not being on right(in a rush to get everything back together ) when i realize...1.6...the cards supposed to be 1.7 stock ^_^. If its undervolted stock and still reaching stock speeds stable, then I hope its a good overclocker! I'm about to go back and put the volt mod on now, tweak it to ~1.85gpu, and see what this thing can do finally - be back in a bit! **edit** Edited April 28, 2005 by puckdracon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone2sk Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 I can't wait to see what happens next. Yoy should be able to do 500 core, hopefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
