I get around 18,000 05 marks for a single card is fantastic.

im still on 623/800 but get slight artifacting on those settings so knocked back memory too 775

623

Wow, that's pretty good man. Mine dont like going over 590 on the core, but I guess one gpu's contact with the cooler might not be as good as the other. Will be interesting to see what difference decent watercoolers make when they hit the market more mainstream. . .

Might make a difference by re-seating with some AC5?

waits patiently for a cheapish 7950 watercooler

i was going to do the arctic silver 5 job the other day took the 2 cards apart and realised my phillips wasnt small enough to unscrew the cooling system pmsl. But yeah im impressed with the core speed. Sadly my mem doesnt seem to be hitting the 800 most are getting. Well at least not stable enough for my liking. I might get lucky though and hit the 800 when i put some better thermal compound on the mem chips aswell.

Not sure if you have already seen this but the future is looking good.

And review:

This is the waterblock I have been waiting for. Im a big fan of Danger Den, but I bet this baby will be in the region of £150

Awesome - If I could afford that I'd have bought it already Looks great and seems to really do the business.

 

[Agent WD40]

That does look like one impressive block!

Can you imaguine havin 4 of those in one loop..? THE HEAT! You might as well connect it to you central heating system and keep your hourse warm over winter..?

Hi there,

Just wanted to know if the 7950gx2 is compatible with those different motherboards:

i m also planning to buy a 6600 conroe so which one is best and compatible with the 7950gx2:

1. Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-061-GI)

2. Gigabyte GA_965P_DS4 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-062-GI)

3. Asus P5B (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-151-AS)

4. Asus P5B Deluxe (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-150-AS)

Thanks very much for your help on that one

Anyone installed a second GFX card with the GX2

I have just installed a PCI 5200 for my two extra monitors and cannot get it to work.

Out of those motherboard choices I would get the P5B Deluxe. i assume your not going to be running duel graphics cards though.

 

[Xtr3m3]

no I will only use one graphic card

but I would really like to know if I can use this 7950 on all those motherboards

 

[maddness]

any board that will give a pci-express 16x lane will work with a 7950gx2 no problems.

all of them above do.
