How bad is this?

Is it time yet to allow someone else to take over this thread? It's now been about two months since Omega's logged on. I know he's been known to take a "leave of absence," from time to time, but something tells me he may not come back this time - Hope I'm wrong. The thread's probably in the category of top ten most popular on the forum.

My sm2/sm3 scores seem low compared to all of the other 4870 owners. They get around 7k on those scores. Any other widely used benchmarks I can test that mainly use the graphics card?
3dmark06 is VERY cpu dependent, higher clockspeed boosts SM2 and 3 scores a lot, even though it shouldn't unless the CPU was bottlenecking the GPU. 3dmark Vantage on the other hand tests the GPU more than the CPU.

I ran 3dmark vantage, scores are at or above what most people are getting for the GPU score with a 4870
Time to overclock the core some!funkysnair

not too shabby for a single 5850
few things i need to work on, one is getting my cpu water cooled-dam the noctua heatsink/fan suck asse
i was getting 89c on full [email protected], dam i was getting 55-60c full [email protected] under water..... my parts better hurry up and get here
i can see 24,000 score for my 5850 once i get the liquid sorted out, dont know what crossfire will yeild but we shall see

You should be able to overclock the 5850 way more than that too. Under water, you should be able to atleast get 4-4.2ghz or so which will be a HUGE boost in 3dmark06 points.
24k should be easy on that setup.
One question though, why is it only showing 4gb of memory? You only running in dual channel???

hehe... i got 4.2ghz on air, it's just not entirely stable with 1.5v running through it...
too bad i can't afford it.
I'm running on an old Zalman air cooler. But, i'm idle at 38 and 70 under max load after some hours. However, i get my H50 cooler tomorrow !!
I'll clock to 4.5 Ghz and crank the voltage to 1.45-1,5 (not sure yet about the volts).

this is my single 4890 overclocked with the [email protected]
my mothrboard has a faulty ram slot, uim sure ive damaged something on the board changing out from the phase cooling
new motherboard will be ordered soon

Can't you just put them in the other 3 slots like I mentioned earlier? Or doesn't your board have 6 slots?
Edit-ok NVM I see your board only have 3 slots. Just curious, but why did you get that board? Seems really overpriced for what you get, atleast here in the states it is. It's $210, when you can get an ASRock X58 extreme for $170.
