Aaron post the links to those benchmark you ran,,, I've been OC mine too "3.8GHz", with no OC on video card.....Video card's don't seem to last me very long.... I'd be lucky for one to last me a year.... Cool Poul, stay out of trouble! Drink a few for me.

Here is where im at so far. Disabled AA and anisotropy(1), no need in stressing the pc too much. My core voltage is usually around 1.28-1.38, but it varies due to auto voltage changes. This pic is the first time ive seen it above 1.38v

Hey Aaron,
I just read your PC upgrade and all I can say is its very nice. About this GPU, I read some test about the 560/560Ti and the Asus model was top notch in the 560 category, just good as the Ti models. I'm talking about the Asus ENGTX560 DCII Top, which have Core Clock set to 925 MHz. Well, it's a shame I didn't posted this info before you've started doing upgrade. Surely you've could spared few bucks.
Aaron, do you think you can do some in-game benchamarks ? I have no experiences with the Unigine benchmark. I am really curious, because the SB 2600K is an helluva PCU, especially for gaming purposes.

Hi Paul! I already had the GTX560 Ti(bought a few months ago), i just upgraded the MB, CPU, cooler and Ram.
Dmitri posted the Heaven benchmark a few pages back, you can look through the last 5 or 6 pages of this thread and should be able to find it. There are so many benchmark software out there i didnt know which to use, so i used the one everyone was using here, last.

Aaron how is that overclock of yours holding up? I think it is damn good you get a 4.6 GHz with that little voltage - something tells me you have a 5 GHz+ CPU on your hands But what about temperatures? You should use an additional program - just to be sure - how about this: www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2089/Real_Temp_3.70.htmlThen run Prime95 and test (open RealTemp as well) to see what temperatures are - but make sure you know how to disable that stress program fast if temperatures get too high. About testing the CPU and GPU; you can use 3DMark11 - that way you can see your CPU´s and GPU´s performance and compare it to any other review sites - because most use that as reference. www.3dmark.com/3dmark11/download/I will post my score in a few...

This was done with a 4.0 GHz overclock on CPU and running 935 MHz on CPU core - no SLI only my Gigabyte 460GTX. My score was P4691 3DMarks. Graphics Score 4348 Physics Score 8505 Combined Score 4345 GraphicsTest1 20.71 FPS GraphicsTest2 20.78 FPS GraphicsTest3 26.73 FPS GraphicsTest4 12.86 FPS PhysicsTest 27.00 FPS CombinedTest 20.21 FPS Poul

Hey Poul, here are my scores. Cpu max temp was 42 degrees and Gpu max was 67 degrees. 3Dmark score - 5234 Graphics score - 4805 Physics score - 10,658 Graphics test1 - 23.53 Graphics test2 - 22.78 Graphics test3 - 28.74 Graphics test4 - 14.23 Physics test - 33.84 Combined test - 22.27 Screenshots were too small to see anything. Ill redo it tomorrow and make sure the screenshots will show everything.

Hey Poul , here are the screenshots of my scores. So far everything is holding up real well. Temps are great, never seen CPU go over 35 degrees and GPU over 42 degrees while playing The Run. Of course everything is nice and clean right now too. Dont see why i need to go any higher overclocking, this thing is damn fast now. Im just happy everything works well, being this is my first build that i did everything myself.

I decided to replace my current Gigabyte EX58-UD4P motherboard with a cheap RMA Asus x58 Sabertooth. I was a bit worried whether I had to reinstall Windows 7, but to my surprise once replaced and plugged in it booted right away and started to install drivers automatically. It only took one reboot and everything was fine and worked perfectly. I remember a few months ago when I had to make a fresh install of Windows 7 and then download and install games I bought from Origin. Took a lot of hours to get my favorite games up running again, but this was just awesome. The Asus Sabertooth is even better at overclocking than my Gigabyte motherboard - but I am not trying to break it in just yet, because it has only been up running for a few hours and the paste needs to settle in. But I had no problems running 200 BCLK (4.2 Ghz) and temperatures were only 40 degrees Celsius at idle with an ambient temperature of 25 - awesome board this one. Poul

Hey Sunny, you shouldn't invest your money to liquid cooling until it is something like Corsair H100 or even better, custom cooling system. Those small instant liquid coolers are waste of money. If you want spend into a great cooler, you should go with Nuctua NH-D14, this aircooler is good almost as H100, but cheaper by a, at least, 35 bucks and it will last forever.
Or maybe you can just renew the thermal compound and make sure, that the base of the cooler is absolutely flat.

Actually the liquid cooler Sunny bought is better than the H100, and sure will beat the Noctua NH-D14 when all fans spin the fastest. But I too think he should have bought an air cooler, but i would have bought the new Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E or the Phanteks PH-TC14PE. If you go with Silver Arrow you need to flatten the base of the cooler - not needed with Phanteks´ one. The problem with those sealed liquid coolers are the fact that you need to have the fans spinning fastest possible - to get them to perform - and then the noise level is just insane. Here is a chart that I think I have showed before from Xbitlabs: NB: Of course you can find other reviews that state that the H100 is better than the H2O 920, but I have confident in Xbitlabs, who have tested coolers under same conditions for some years now - and they sure have tested a lot of them.
