    i used the modded 186.26 dell xps 1730 and 190.40 xfastest with nvidia systemtools 6.05. The System isnt hot, during a crysis benchmark(4 loops) my first 280 has as max temp 81°c(most time 75-78) the other 280 max 76°c and the 9400 70°c

    thats okay or isnt?

    I put you in the age range of 12-16.

    @everyone else: Anyway the CPU score unfortunately is driven heavily by the video driver you use. Same settings 2 different drivers 300-400 point drop in CPU score.

    I'm still waiting for someone to create me a new avaiter to reflect that. One of my 500GB hard drives just got freed up so maybe I'll hold a contest for it.

    Because your not running SLI in with that benchmark. Rename the executable to HAWX_dx10 or HAWX_dx9 to enable it.

    Some Single GTX 260M Scores:

    3d mark 06: 11704, CPU @ 2,4 Ghz, GPU @ 605/1045/1485, PhysX off.
    Vantage: GPU 5413, CPU 22730, Total 6776

    I feel soo small :D

    However, the system would hand and BSOD after a restart with these clocks, had to lower the GPU oc.

    Boot up again but hold the right shift key.

    Other fixes are pull the battery and plug in to just AC and boot or pull the cmos battery....your clocks are bad.

    I haven't OC'ed it, I just installed it, also tried re-seating it, and I have made sure I locked the CPU.

    I've moved this into side topics so join me there if you can help, thanks.

    No we did not, we determined Quadzilla got a dud, and his booted up no problems, also AC/ no DC has the same cpu I do QAVR and his works no probs with OC as well. Not sure where you are getting your info from...

    Crylo stupid question but did you lock the CPU down ? Moo had the same problem because his CPU was not locked down .

    When i was messing with the different CPUs in mine i didnt even put the whole thing back together before i made sure everything worked . I just attached the touch panel infront of the screen and the keyboard and let them rest there till i knew everything was kosher :).
