So as it seems there are quite a few of you out there who enjoy building and modding their systems. So basically post up your system details and 3DMark Vantage score with said system with screen shots and other fun stuff. I by no mean have the nastiest system out there, but for a person who is NOT a gamer I am happy with the results. System Details: AMD (of course) Phenom II 940 Black Edition (3 GHz) Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P Motherboard Sapphire Radeon 4850 X2 2GB Video Card 8GB G.Skill 1100 Memory XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Antec 300 Case Antec EarthWatts 650w PS Overclocked the CPU (still a lot of room to go): ![http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8534/cpufac.jpg](http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8534/cpufac.jpg) Video card settings (maxed out, lol): ![http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/4333/overdrive.jpg](http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/4333/overdrive.jpg) 3D Mark Vantage Score: ![http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9756/vantaged.jpg](http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/9756/vantaged.jpg) I still have a bit more to go with the CPU overclocking but the video card is maxed out. I might pick up an other and throw it into quad crossfire but again, I am no gamer. ---

Zomg. It’s like tweaking a car you sizzles. Overclocking could be comparted to turning up the boost in a turbo car. With it, you have to increase the cooling (intercooler?) and up the voltage (fuel?) to accomodate for the higer clock speeds (hp?). It’s the same modding bug just nerdier. The first screenshot shows my four processors running at 3640 MHz per core when default it runs at 3000. The second screenshot shows both of my video card processors running at their maximum speed of 700mhz (default is 625) and memory clock speed at 1200mhz (default is 933). The last screenshot is a program that you run on your pc the receive a score based on your systems performance. The score of the program relies mainly on your video card, CPU, memory and of course the motherboard which attaches everything together. Wana see what your pc scores?

thanks, think ill scrap that idea then. i do have a question for you though… seeing as your probly a bit more techie than me… i have an s-video out on that card and i did try running it to a 47inch lcd hdtv that has an s-video input… looked like shit… and wouldnt display any of the graphics in quake 4 or anything els for that matter… is there a specific tv i need to look for or is it the video card itself that wont display the graphics on such a large screen. the point is to set up my living room so i dont need another room for all my computer equipment and i can do it all there on one screen. ---

what u mean , like it wouldnt start the game or u went in game and couldnt see anything? or its just the graphics were crappy? for tv’s u gotta really have a 1080i hdtv because those 720 shits and whatever else arent good enough IMO, because they wont run a resolution high enough to be acceptable [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/overclocking-pc-benchmarking-thread-nazi-mod-approved-nerd-thread/245365.md?page=2)
