Hey all, been out of the tweaking scene for a bit when it comes to OCing/benching and stuff, and i recently sat down and spent a few weeks tweaking my rig, which is the following:
Phenom II 955 BE C2 [email protected] 2.6ghz NB clock 1.5v vcore 1.25v NB
4gb Gskill ddr3 1600@7-8-7-24 1t 1.6v
MSI 790fx-gd70
HIS Radeon 6850@1015/1230 (non soft voltmoddable)
Watercooled with 1 BIP-II , 1 Black ice, Swiftech cpu/gpu blocks, swiftech mcp655 pump
TT Toughpower 850w PSU
I got the clocks basically as high as they can go. From what i read pushing the NB much past 2.6 wouldnt net me a whole lot of benefit, i may be able to try 2.7 if i mess with the FSB a bit to get that as an option.
My main question is how the hell you set up a profile for benching nowadays? AMD drivers are wierd when it comes to profiles, and I have radeonpro but i'm not sure what the best settings would be in some of the advanced tabs for benchmarking. There are also a few different exes in the 3dmark folder and i wasnt sure which one it actually uses, since you cant minimize during a run. What would you guys recommend? I'm running the new 3dmark just called "3dmark" (the one with fire strike in it)
