HI there

Basically bought my rig about 4 months ago now and been slowley but surely overclocking it step by step using the forums. At stock when i built my rig i only managed 8500 marks in 06 and wasnt that impressed tbh. Since i started OC'ing though i got closer and closer to 9k then 9.5k then 10k. Im now able to get 10864 with spec in sig but i cant seem to go any higher. I want to try and crack 11k just for something to do and figure it must be possible as im pretty close.

Any tips for eaking out the last bit of performance and settings i will be able to run 24/7? I keep telling myself once i hit 11k i will stop as its a fairly respectanle score isnt it?
 
i got 8658 points at stock speeds with same CPU, GFX card as you, seriuosly though 3DMark06 doesnt mean a thing, personally i only use it as another stability test, if you really want to get 11k then i suppose you can try and overclock more, buy better cooling etc.

OC'ing more isnt really an option as the card borks out any higher on either the core or memory. Suppose i could try higher on the CPU but on air and with only an AF7Pro im not really wanting to go down that route.

Was more after windos tweaks/driver tweaks? Better drivers to use etc...
