FX processor testing

[ShrimpBrime]

Right now playing with FX-8370. Got a stable 5ghz clock running liquid. A decent clocker I think. Still needs some tinkering, but here's where it sits today.

[Mr.Scott]

Looks good so far.

Thanks. I'm currently setting up drivers for the X1800XT 256MB. 3Dmark05 hit 10996 pts without any tweaks and 5ghz cpu. Should be able to increase this score pretty good. Just trying to get a driver installed so I can overclock the darn thing. It's been a while, but I think I used ATItool or something of the sort for overclocking. Either way, I'll get'er going good.

If you are running Win 7 try Catalyst 10.2 and you can clock it with Trixx.

OK sorry for the belated reply. Been playing with it and everything works pretty good. Running Catalyst 8.4 and able to OC right through ATI tray tools or even ATI overdrive that comes with the 8.4 driver pack. I cannot break 147K score on aquamark for the life of me. I may have to really pound the card with cooling, but I don't want to break this one. It's a good card.

Here's some pictures of a recent DICE run tryout. My thermal paste gave a me a hard time when I swapped processors, so I just came back to the FX-8370.

On the note above, what thermal paste can I use that will not freeze up on me? (A list would be nice) Luke has this cheapy chineese white paste he says it won't freeze up. I don't know what it's called cause I can't read it....lol

EDIT:

NVM about the pictures. They are much much larger than 1MB and when I try to convert or shrink them, I loose all quality...

[ShrimpBrime]

Ahh here some pictures.

[Vinster]

That is neat, I'll keep an eye out for another.

Thanks for sharing.
