road-runner Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 I am far from the worlds best OC'er and have crap for Video cards but I will give it a shot. I can use 2 of the machines in my SIG not that a X300 or 1650XT card will do much. 8800's are $300 and up ? hahaha I would much rather donate to Cancer research with another rig before I do that. Also someone may need to email me and remind me I am doing this hehe I forget what I did yesterday sometimes :/ Another though on that, I have been wanting to buy the new 2900xt as it will be able to fold, so that another option and will have better benchmarks.

Judy_Dunbar Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Everything I have read about the 2900 HD cards has been bad to this point. New drivers SHOULD help it they are saying. Even tho I said I wouldnt get a 8800, the gts 320mb looks good from what I can find out the MSI and EVGA are the 2 better ones ?? If not please advice. This 1650 XT doesnt OC for beans, ATI Tool turns screen black almost as soon as you start it up then you need to reboot and yes it is unlocked.

neddamttocs Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 personally i would go evga, better card imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 EVGA = best customer support/service for any hardware brand out there, not questions asked! @ Thread, I should be getting a 650i SLI board sometime these days, so depending on my state of funds/availability of other hardware, I should be able to add another C2D rig into this if it be needed!

caffeinejunkie Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) nice How come you always get the good CPUs? I dunno but Ive had it stable at 3.51ghz after that I hit a FSB wall. Im getting held back by the horrible NB cooler but I got a replacement on the way so Im thinking 3.8ghz could be possible temperature permitting. But that should be no issue since at 3.51 I hit 48c full load on my SI-128 but I might go for a cheap waterchiller with my mini fridge just to get some insane benchs done. and thanks for the welcome neddamttocs Edited May 28, 2007 by caffeinejunkie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
