Man of Honour
Thanks Neil
Twice I bombed out at 5GHZ on the CPU test and again at 4.85GHZ. I need to do some tweaking and turn my pump up to full for the 5GHZ tests. Temps would be too high is my guess but Happy to take the GFX crown back
Biggest problem I get @5.0ghz is not the CPU or Memory Speed, its the memory timmings. I have to slacken them off a bit sometimes. The IMC comes under a lot of stress at those speeds and as you say extra heat does not help either.
In order of importance for 3dmark11 its
CPU speed
Memory speed
Memory timmiings
Tight memory timmings will give a few more points in Physics and Combined tests but does not affect things as much as the other two.
Gregster remember you are our last hope in holding back the red tide, "May the Geforce be with you".
