Does seem low for a o/ced ultra.

Please post your orb links people.

Finally broke the 6000 barrier thanks to some fairly recent (71.84 and 72.10 are newer but not public) and some Arctic Silver 5 and Ceramique

Treewolf · February 27th, 2005

I finally broke the 10k mark on 3DMark2005 pro. After many changes and many reboots/freezes I finally got to my goal. Now its time to stop and relax and do some stuff I have been putting off lol :P

3DMark 2005 score : 10041

**Electronic Punk** · February 27th, 2005

thats sli for you

been trying to break 6k for a while
turned out the nvsilencer5 is great, but needed as5 for it to really kick off.

Treewolf · February 27th, 2005

Hmm I may have to try the AC5, I have the NV5 now. Nice to see you hit 6k, always good to finally do something you have been working toward.

Treewolf · February 27th, 2005

That AC5 is just a compound??? Dang I am definatley gonna be getting some of that and why would it void a warranty? Saw where someone said it would. Also how did you go about removing the old compound off of your stuff?

reputation points for Treewolf for a kickass system

**Electronic Punk** · February 27th, 2005

Treewolf: it is a compound, but apparently does conduct electricity (contains silver etc.) so while the main gpu will be safe as it can be eaily be applied I decided to use Ceramique for the memory.

**Moonwraith** · February 27th, 2005

CPU: AMD Athlon64 3500+ Winchester @ 2.2ghz
Motherboard: Neo2 Platinum (latest v1.4 i think)

3DMark Score: 5520
CPU Score: 4555

Gain o' around 500 on graphics.. not too bad

**Moonwraith** · February 27th, 2005

Any other ways to improve score than just driver updates/bios updates?
