Futuremark Score

[nxcmp]

Ok for my system I run on 32bit Vista and the case is air cooled. For me I have done about all I can but does anyone have any additional suggestions to try and boost my score ?

CPU C2D E6850 OC'd 3.6gHz (+600mHz) Max temp 57C
Fan: ZALMAN CNPS9500
Thermal Paste: Arctic Silver

GPU eVGA 8800 GT SC - OC Max Temp 71C

Core: 650 -> 700
Shader: 1625 -> 1752
Memory: 950 -> 950 (No Change)
Fan 75%

(Note: Added an extra 1gig of ram after OC as well. Quick spec is in sig.)

You can squeeze more out of that E6850.

70C core is pretty safe on those.

Edit: Assuming you mean core temps and not Tcase.

Also for my C2D I have SpeeStep Disabled, but when I push It to 3.8 the temp gets to 70,71,72,73 and is almost like its reached a tipping point that the cooler can't keep up. Just with SpeedStep disabled I run the chance of burning it up if I'm not careful. Now if i goto 3.8 with SpeedStep on its fine but its over correcting so much it actually lowers my score.

Then I'd work on OCing the RAM and seeing what I can get (highest MHz/tightest timings).

Otherwise you look fine.

From Comp's guide:

Scale 1: Duo

E4x00: Tcase Max 73c, M0 Stepping, Tjunction Max 100c, Vcore Default 1.325, TDP 65w, Delta 10c
E21x0: Tcase Max 73c, M0 Stepping, Tjunction Max 100c, Vcore Default 1.312, TDP 65w, Delta 10c
E6x50: Tcase Max 72c, G0 Stepping, Tjunction Max 100c, Vcore Default 1.350, TDP 65w, Delta 10c
E6540: Tcase Max 72c, G0 Stepping, Tjunction Max 100c, Vcore Default 1.350, TDP 65w, Delta 10c

-Tcase/Tjunction-
--70--/--80--80-- Hot
--65--/--75--75-- Warm
--60--/--70--70-- Safe
--25--/--35--35-- Cool

Ok i'll try that thanks + im not the smartest guy when it comes to ram OC'n know any good guides ?

 

[Evilonigiri]

Run ratio at 1:1, then decrease timings until it can't post anymore. Leave the voltage on auto if you can.

 

[nxcmp]

So change DRAM frequency from auto to ddr2-799 ?
