Been tweeking around my PC today, and acheved a stable and artifact-less overclock of 720Mhz Core and 1200Mhz Memory on the BFG 8800Ultra OC.

The temperature stayed within 5 degrees from idle to load, at 49C idle/54C load. Very impressive. Bravo!

A picture of it in action;


Had my previous Asus 8800Ultra on air(Zalman VF1000 LED) at 650/1100, came close to 80degrees load, and gets very loud... Rolling Eyes

Around 26C ambient.

Haha yes. You can choose wether you want to water cool your RAM in the TXX package, although you will loose your RAM warrenty unless you use the OCZ FlexXLC's intergrated ones.

Oh VRAMs? they are cooled by a large black aluminum plate that covers the VRAMs, VRMs and the Ramdac, also cooled by the main Blastflow block.

EF
I was looking at your CPU speed - very impressive. I too have the QX6850 chip.
What motherboard do you have and what setting are you using to achieve that stable rig?

You should try getting the CPU to 4.0GHz, I'm sure it can be done. I got a 1.62GHz overlock out of my E2160 and it beats the higher end chips at stock.

Hay Rob, I'm currently working late nights on the review of my setup:

http://forum.vadim.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1231

Should not take too long now, and I have all the low downs on my overclocking in that review, so look out for it in a day or two! Very Happy
I'm using the Asus Maximus Formula.

luanswan2002, I'm certain there's more that can be squeezed out of this CPU, but the BIOS of this MB is still quite immature, and therefore unstable at high settings. Also being able to acheve 3.75+Ghz is very impresive IMO considering I have only set a VCore of 1.425 volts.
