I can't wait to get my six core thuban haha. Only if it's a nice upgrade over my 965. I am hoping it will compete with the i7 920

MSI Afterburner is what I use. Works great for me. From what I know 1.3 is the max safe voltage for the 5xxx series. I would just not go any higher than that. There are not really recommended voltages for clocks because it all depends on the GPU. Yours may be worse or better than another at the...

These ATI chips don't really clock thier memory to well. What you are seeing is that the Card is now artifactig, even though you cannot see it, and is correcting the artifacting before sending the signal to your monitor, which is why you do not see and performance increase. Also it could be...

don't use Furmark for long. I use it for like 1 minute. I hate furmark it's really bad on ATI cards. Anyways, I use Crysis and Empire Total war to see if my GPUs are stable. Empire is really good for it because you can have up to 7000 men in a huge battle. And if that doesn't make the GPU crash...

Just go for it. I had never O.C before and I did it on this rig. I've had my CPU all the way up to 1.6150 Volts and my GPU up to 1.3 You have a 5850 so I'd assume It could go up to 1.3 and be fine. Now I don't run mine that high but I am at 1.225 and stock is 1.087 for me. Just look up your GPU...

I know. I was joking. The GTX 295 is very overpriced. You can get a 5870 cheaper and it runs just as good and better in games that only support single gpu.

Nvidia make thier GPUs expensive? Nonsense :P

You could always wait until Fermi comes out from Nvidia. I am sure ATI will drop the price of the 5850/5870.

Well, 10.1 Just came out, But I'd stick with 9.12 I rolled mine back because 10.1 are not very good. Games that I know of that support Dual GPU are Crysis, Empire total war, call of duty MW 1 and 2 probabyl WaW, Dirt 2 i believe there is a Dual GPU hotfix to make it work. Far Cry 2 I think L4D2...

Only with Dual GPU cards. YOu only have 2 PCI-E slots. So here is what I found out. The 2.0 x16 or x4 is how much bandwidth the slot has. x4 has less than x16. I also found a chart comparing the 5870 in these slots (right here...

Well, you do Have a second PCI-E slot 2.0x16 at x4mode. Which is not a full PCI-E 2.0x16. At this point I am not longer any help lol. I have no clue about the x4 or x16 slots. Hopefulyl someone else can help you with that.

If you click this link (http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz/cpuz_153_setup.exe) you can DL and install a program called CPUID it will tell you eveyrthing about your PC

To the OP is your MOBO just a Asus p7p55 motherboard or is it a D version or Pro or LX. THere are many kinds of this mobo. could you point out which mobo you have from this list at newegg? http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=Asus+p7p55

maybe the 5xxx series is different. Because mine works fine at different clocks.

I can run both my GPUs in my 5970 at different clocks though. So I'd assume the same can be done with any cards. *Edit* Hmm maybe I cannot. Best bet would to be to just get another 5850. They are great cards anyways. You can always O.C. them to 5870 clocks. *EDIT AGAIN* Just checked...

The cards do not need to have the same clock speed when you crossfire. Also a 5970 has the clockspeeds of a 5850 out of the box. the only difference is steam processors.

I spent about 400 I think. I can't remember anymore. Anyways if you live in canada use NCIX.com

My highest score so far is 20265 sorry I can't take a SS my print screen button does not work for some reason. My GPU score is 24699 and my CPU score is 13172

Yeah I do have a C2. I'd love to get a C3 but it's really not worth the price for a little bit of OC i could get. I will probably just wait to see how the Thuban CPUs turn out.

I have it set to 1333 but my sticks are 1600. I have been trying so many combinations to try to get 4.0 but nothing works. As of now I have made it to the 5th of 12 tests in prime95 by having my voltage at 1.57 and 20x200. But it won't get any farther. I have tried changing my NB and HT and ram...
