I was very limited in what I could accomplish due to CCC limiting my clocks to 900/1300. Also at the time, there was no software based voltage adjustments available.

New bios (S21Z) in the eVGA Classified 760 got me booting from bios at 230+ bclock. This W3540 is a very strong chip, loving the cold. The board would cbb at around -90° to -92°, but the chip wasn’t cold bugging even at -130°! With the Kingpin F1EE cpu pot I was able to maintain steady temps even under extremely heavy loads like wPrime 1024. So 3D benching wasnt a problem since the most cpu demanding bench I was running was 3dmark 2006. On to the results!

One unfortunate happening during this session was when I was benching 2D first. I killed 2 out of 3 of my Kingston Elpida Hyper sticks during 32M runs. All these benches were thus done in single channel mode which hurt things some (especially in aquamark3)

I currently have no 5870′s (this one was for a customers gaming computer) but will revisit this again for sure.  I got some new non-explosive hypers in from Kingston.   Now with CCC limits of 1200+ on core, adjustable voltages from software, people are pushing these cards to 1050ish core on air, 1125ish on water, and 1200-1300 on LN2.  Quite impressive!

Needless to say, it was nice to have some easy going guaranteed goldage for a change! 3dmark06 was the only time they really seemed to not want to clock much, vantage I just got lazy and left it stock. SLI scaling with the most recent drivers has been decent as well.  If your interested check out scores here.
