    nope, thank you! because i stopped checking clocks when i got the high score at 10831. thought it was maxed out then.

    now after seeing your quick run through without really doing anything, gives me renewed hope in us reaching that 11k mark!

    congrats on joining the x class cpu group

    is that over clocked or stock?
    and at what resolution is that?

    i used zalman zm-stg1 thermal grease
    i think something is wrong
    using TAT it gets to 90+ c within 1min
    what kind temps you see under load ?
    idle using power saving is in the low 40s

    those temps are fine. now if you we're in the 90's on idle..then something would be wrong.

    on another note


    11k baby!!

    175.63 is the version and they work very well for gaming...i can accually play crysis overclocked. about 575/800 memory and it seems to stay on. might try some higher clocks later.

    I have a quick question:
    I use my laptop primarily for gaming (COD4) but will soon be encoding as well (HD video using ADVHC). Am I better off with an x7800 or t9300? I am basically torn between the importance or cpu speed vs. cache for these applications.
    thx.

    x7800 will beat out the t9300 but the t9300 has a newer technology/45 nm/lower temps

    ok. not worried about temps too much since I already use a cooler and a few minutes of battery life don't matter much either. I have found a seller who'll do the x7800 (ES) for 175 Euros shipped (thank god I still have some Euros left... the dollar is such crap right now!)
    btw- any difference for ES chips... or anything I should look for?

    wasn't really expecting on getting an es chip myself.... but give it a supper hard go through foor the first week. so you have plenty of time to send it back if it doesn't work right.

    the x7800 is a beast

    highly recommended

    as to battery life, can always down clock it and under volt it if needed.
