    That would be worse than calling Dell since these are sold strictly through OEMs. Somehow it became bricked so I was hoping somewhere down the line someone would create a process to unbrick them.

    I think the most I can get is another hundred points with overvolting. Unless the cpu is holding it back. My clocks I did was 670/1675/1080

    my highest stable was 3180 MHz, but Motherboard crapped out before I could go further, new one should come tomorrow

    as for temps, never over 80, which means they are nothing to worry about (although colder is always better)

    after that on the core it's rather very unstable or it shows 0 percent difference in performance.

    I concur, 680 core seems to be the normal limit, regardless of what I had the voltage set to (anywhere from 1.03 to 1.15)

    that's because moo has less shaders to use less power and heat.

    have you seenwhat the 9800m gs and gts overclocks to?????

    it's very high.

    glad to see the 4870 folks finally being able to utilize their machines properly

    the W90's should be in spitting distance of the M17x with ATI's given the same clocks. The difference in vram wont matter at the relatively low resolution that is default for 3dmark (both versions). Just the difference between DDR2 and DDR3 system ram, and the lack of PCIe lanes on the M17x compared to the W90.
