    Hi All,

    It was amazing to see the FSB going all the way to 333MHz for a processor overclock to 2.5Mhz from 2Ghz on the Q9000 and this is @ 1.163V. Orthos was stable at this setting, however it tends to reach 80C, so I've settled for an overclock of 10% @ 2.2Ghz @ 1.163V for now. Idle at 41-44C.
    Ambient temperature is 75-76.

    GPU is set at 0.9V and I have to manually switch the clocks with Riva before playing a game. I couldn't use the 'substitute Riva for powermizer' guide completely as Riva won't monitor 'Hardware Acceleration' for me with 195.62 drivers. Idle is 59-61C. Max I've seen so far in L4D @ 1080 is 89C.

    Now to the problem - All the 'RED' in the game seems washed out. I'm playing with max details and no AA / 4 AF / Vertical Sync - Triple buffer. Pretty much the same settings I play with on my 4870 X2 desktop but red colors are all washed out and lifeless. I don't know what's going on here. The screen doesn't bad at all. And I've not tried anyother game so far. Did anybody notice the same thing.

    Thanks,
    Nik
