@ GhostGT, what voltage are you running through your cpu? is it still set to Auto? if so you could probably drop it down to 1.125v at 2.8GHz, 1.3v for 3.0GHz, this will lower your temperatures as the Auto setting normally supplies a higher voltage than is actually required resulting in elevated temperatures.
Yes that's true but for the sake of comparison the "standard" resolution used by overclockers for HWbot etc is 1280x1024, if you wanted to dick around with LOD etc and run it at 600x400 your scores will be higher for sure but you'd get laughed out of forums such as Guru3D for doing so.
That's your card for you, I'm tempted to upgrade to the G92 GTS 512MB yet hesitant because I want a 9xxx series when they're released (supposedly in a couple of weeks, mid Feb last I heard)
Temps at 3.6GHz are idle ~38-38-36-36, load 66-66-64-64
I'm thinking 3.8GHz will push me up close to around 70°C, I might chuck another fan on the back of the TU120e for increased airflow through the fins.
Hey true, yeah I didn't touch anything other than the FSB speed. Do you recommend I try the 311fsb again with 1.125v?
