Just an H70. Only voltage I changed was VCC. A few other things for power, etc.
3DMark 11 seems to allow higher CPU speeds than Vantage. Couldn't bench Vantage at 5.4GHz (only at 5.35GHz) but 11 worked just fine. I may try a...
Was able to get 5.35GHz stable enough for 3DMark.
6.645 - Intel Core i7 2600K @ 5633MHz | 8GB Corsair DDR3-1600 @ 938MHz 9-11-9-27 1T It's better actually... Lucky I guess. [IMG]
How about with PPU disabled? Newest version of Vantage (1.1) comes with it disabled by default.
1.3V for 1GHz. It was pretty bad after 950MHz. Around +0.01V for every 10MHz or so.
6.755 - Intel Core i5 2500K @ 5554MHz | 8GB Corsair DDR3-1600 @ 807MHz 9-11-9-27 1T Best time on my old 2500K chip. Can't wait to see what my...

The extra 2-pins on are only more ground wires. The 6970 does have a higher TDP and the chips used are binned for 6970. As a result, they could...
I would still like to see a 6970 CFX review, especially since the 6990 is out.
Afterburner doesn't always sync the settings on my Crossfire HD 6950's. Sometimes, one of the cards will goto and stay at 100% GPU utilization...
I tested with a real 6970 bios and the results were exactly the same as my "modded" bios at the same speeds.
Yes, the i5 2500K is a quad core CPU.
Well, I was stable at 920 using afterburner to raise voltage to 1.175. 1.165 in AB would crash at 920 while 1.175 works fine.
What res and settings did you see those gains at?
I plan on testing an HD 6970 bios within the next few days using the same clocks as well as trying to see if my max stable overclock is any higher.
I added Battlefield: Bad Company 2 results and updated the overall graph. [IMG]
But does unlocking really matter? http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=339220
Dual 6950s for < $500
I've read way too many “which graphics card should I buy” threads and there's one recommendation that pops up a lot. It's that you should buy a...
