Tri-Fire AMD Brethren

Haha, no worries man. I love doing this. Will spend most of the day fine tuning. Memory is almost sorted, but i reckon i tighten things even further. Not sure it would be possible if i didn't have these Dom Plats though. I see now why they're £250-£300 for 16gb.

I like as well, but not that much anymore
I remember the time when I used to do hard mods on my mbs to get more volts, like when I was trying to reach the magical 1ghz on my 800mhz Athlon, I had to solder a resistor on my Asus A7V, around 258 thousand years ago and yes I did it

Now my new adventure will be watercooling, I already bought most parts, just need fittings and time

Done like dinner. Trust me if you want my final timings, they're similar to what i posted above. I tried testing out 3DMark 11 and making changes to the timings but i found it made very little difference to the score. Maybe gained a couple of 100 points over XMP, if that.

Spoiler

Anyway with that i have a few results

3970X @4.5

Thanks Kaap, that is really helpful. About 8% difference between our scores and your cards are clocked slightly higher, excellent. Seeing your scores makes me want 290X's and 4930's though Lol. #Greed

Just flash your 290's to 290X's like mine are

Mine are not 290X's though mate. Actually, I've not checked my Asus card i suppose that could be.

come on check it out LT you know it will bug you unless you do

I know, but flash them with 290X's BIOS, close as you're going to get without paying out for 290X's

You can score higher with SB-E and 3 cards in some benches than you can with IB-E as the older CPUs can clock higher.

In Firestrike Extreme the IB-E will probably win as it is more efficient

In Firestrike the SB-E will probably win as it is all about raw speed and every mhz counts.

Just checked, no dice gents. Nay bother, I'm only 8% off Kaaps scores and im happy with that, for now.

What, Physics or overall? I clock 18200 physics on my 4960 in FSE

Overall

SB-E @5.1 with 3 or 4 cards takes some beating on the futuremark benches.
