Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
A Little help :)
I consider my self a relatively adept overclocker but my Sapphire 7970 Dual-X (not the OC version) card has me baffled.
It runs 950/1425@1,175V stock.
I got it to 1150/1600 @ stock voltage hitting 75 degrees with 100% GPU after a 10 min burn.
Method: 25Mhz increase on core...
Alrighte, I think I have narrowed it down abit.
It seems that whenever i OC my CPU above 3Ghz'ish my motherboard tosses 1 long beep and 3 short (Video card error) during BIOS boot, then it waits 5 sec and reports the std 'everyting is ok' beep and boots up normally (BIOS shows up on screen)...
Holy crap...
That intel burn test just slammed my temps up to >74 before i could stop it :D
I'll try finding a frequency where the intel burn test passes and stays sub 65 deg.
I will post results tomorrow :)
Atleast I have a possible 'Error' now.
Thanks.

Hi.
My temps after 4h of orthos is 63-64 on both cores.
When i run 3,6Ghz the ram is running 1:1 @ 400Mhz, RAM timings are manually set to the specified 4-4-4-12 by crusial @ 400Mhz
I will test with Intel burn test and let you know how it goes

Sure.
the 3,6 Ghz has passed 4h orthos, but only small FFT.
PSU is a crosair HW620W :)
I also thought it was due to instability at first, but why then does the 8800GT scale just fine?

Hi all.
I just upgraded my old 8800GT (512mb) gfx to a 4870 (1gb) gfx.
Before the upgrade i had the following 3dmark06 benches.
Setup: E6600 + Asus P5B - Deluxe (p965 chipset) + 2x2 PC6400 DDR2 RAM
3dmark06 @ standard setup.
CPU: 2,4Ghz
Gfx 8800GT - 3Dmark06 10102
CPU: 3,0Ghz
Gfx...
Hey all, great thread...Thank you to all that have posted their results!
