new spec thread

just an update. have just moved some cables about and got this now purring.

I have split the load of the card across both psu's. I have one pci-e connector on one psu and the other connector on the other psu.

so have just run a couple of benchmarks and have got these results so far:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9159975 - 45k (almost doubles my previous best which was 24.5k:D)

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=5242028 -35k (adds another 11K on my previous best)

update:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=2754626 -14.8k (adds around 5k better than my previous)

This just keeps getting better and better.

completely crushes my old system which was still fairly decent:

3500+ (winnie)/3GB RAM/7600GT's Sli'ed

update 2:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=1368610 -10.5k (over double my previous best :D)

well for some reason it was not liking all the load from one of the psu so i thought I would try it this way before I went out and brought another pcu.l

When I eventually get another 8800gtx I will probably be getting another psu and use the smaller 480w for the hdd's etc.

Everything seems to be running nicely and the temps are faily low considering I have the Tuniq at a low level. It seems to stay at around 41 - 42c on idle and doesn't seem to go much higher when under load.

so all in all I am well impressed with this rig at the moment. :D
 
I think it is to do with the combined rail ampage. Perhaps each was giving out 1x18a on the 12V rail, but together they gave 36A, more than enough. Or something like that.

Nice temps on the tuniq, must have a nice flat 6600 there
 
well i've done a small overclock to 3.15Ghz 350x9 and upped the memory to 820mhz left all the volts at default and have got these results.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9160885 54.6k

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=5244423 36.9k

not done 2k5 and 2k6.

The temps seem to never hit over 52c which is cool.

Just wondering if anyone knows how far i might be able to push this. I was hoping to reach possibly the 3.6 or higher mark with this system.

its looking good so far.
