Here is 3dmark 05. Computer @ 2.8 and video at stock oc (490/1300) What other benches you want? http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1332693 Everest benchmark v2.20.405 @ 2.8 with 2 x 1gig patriot 3-4-4-8 timings running 166 divider which equals PC3700. Memory Latency 47.5ns Memory Write 2579 MB/s Memory Read 6278 MB/s @ 2.8 with 1gig OCZ VX 2-2-2-8 timings running 180 divider which equals PC4100 Memory Latency 36.9ns Memory Write 2996 MB/s Memory Read 7107 MB/s

Not very expensive really. I build high dollar custom computers as a side job so it more than pays for the hardware. Its more of a hobby than anything.

I don't care if you believe me or not, doesn't bother me in the least. You can look up my specs over at Club SLI, my member number is SLI-650. Also as a member of guru3d you can see my specs. Just cause I dont post often doesn't mean bs. You should rename the thread to Your PC Specs if you have over xxxx posts.

I run the OCZ because it will oc much better than my crappy patriot will. My OCZ will run 1:1 up to 240 on the fsb at 2.2.2.5 @ 3.5 volts. With the patriot it will only run to 210 fsb and after that I have to run a divider and relax the timings to 3.4.4.8 which if you don't know the AMD 64 performs much better with tight timings. I run the OCZ most of the time actually and swap in the 2 gig when I'm going to be playing BF2 or F.E.A.R. Hope that clears it up for you as its not bs.

I have 5 around the house but this is by far the best of them. AMD 64 3700+ @ 2.8 for everyday on water cooling (thinking of selling and getting a dual core) DFI SLI-DR motherboard 1 gig of OCZ VX for benching or 2x1gig patriot for everyday use 2x 74g raptors in raid 0 Nec 3540 DVD burner PC Power and Cooling 510 Sli power supply Case is a Koolance PC3-720BK 2x XFX 7800GTX (490/1300) in Sli Audigy 2zs gamer sound card Klipsch speakers Dell UltraSharp 2405FPW 24-inch Wide Aspect Flat Panel LCD Monitor Oh and a floppy drive Windows XP pro SP2/Windows 64bit for messing around/Linux Got to love gaming on the 24" widescreen monitor but had to break down a buy a second 7800GTX to run smooth at 1920x1200 with all the eye candy turned up.

Check and make sure that your motherboard is not grounding out on the case for some reason (screw fell behind, not enough clearance, etc).

Just tried this out, and on my AMD 64 overclocked it dropped only 1 degree at idle and load. Took a performace hit when checking with sandra. For me it's not worth 1 degree and unistalled. One of those too good to be true things I think.
