Currently running the CPU at 4.2Ghz I can hit 4.4Ghz and play games fine but its not Orthos stable. Im sure I can get 4.5-4.6Ghz with some more tweaking. You just really have to work hard to get great clocks with this board. Im still thinking about a 3rd loop for the chipset and mosfets.

Should be here tomorrow

Your PSU enough for two of those?

KasuCode · 01-28-08, 05:15 AM

They take less power then the 2900XT and my PSU was designed for 2 2900XT's.

If I run into issues ill get a new supply but I should be fine.

I'd like to see those 3870X2 blocks.

Lol your PSU is more than enough, it will work guaranteed

First off... lets get the obvious out of the way. Two cards give no benefit over 1 at the moment. But at least im ready for when the driver gets here.

Second, The MCW60 dosnt fit on the 3870X2 with the memory sinks installed. So I cant install my watercooling on the cards untell I get ramsinks or diffrent blocks. (Ill end up getting ramsinks)

Third, Really busy with work so havnt had much of a chance to test. But I did a 3dmark at stock settings 4Ghz with my system memory clocked way down (@667 default1000) and still got near 20k with 1 card.

I also got a PS3 on the same day my cards arrived so when I get home from work I been playing that to relax.

The chick on these cards is so damn hot...
