Alienware M17x w/ATi 4870 info thread! ... Same difference. I have access to two M17x and 3 QX9300 and they all act EXACTLY the same.

Right now I'm trying to get 18.5K in 06.

dondadah88 · 11-20-2009, 07:10 AM

re5 maxed no aa

re5 8aa

NWGuru · 11-20-2009, 07:37 AM

If I remember correctly I had to change the sli profile for RE5 to get decent numbers. Did you do that? I honestly don't remember if those numbers are good.

Going to be busy setting up the new system today. I should have time for benching later.

dondadah88 · 11-20-2009, 08:05 AM

yes. sli is running on it.

here is overclocked 8aa. i have to run to work so i can't do high overclock no aa.

I added how to get your QX9300 up to 3.2Ghz in the original post. Don try the method with your T9400 and see if you can over-clock further.

dondadah88 · 11-20-2009, 05:47 PM

ok. When I get home I will try it.

btw it's a t9300.

dondadah88 · 11-20-2009, 06:20 PM

good. Are you I'm a rush to depart with one of your quad.

did you take a pic of cpu-z to see if there is a motherboard revision.

NWGuru · 11-20-2009, 06:27 PM

Not in a rush but I'll eventually sell one off. Still have more tests to do. I'm a little obsessed with the CPU OC'ing aspect of this.

No not yet. Your talking about the validation portion of cpu-z right?

dondadah88 · 11-20-2009, 06:57 PM

yes. I want to see if they revised the motherboard

NWGuru · 11-20-2009, 07:11 PM

Just put my system back together again. Give me a sec.

NWGuru · 11-20-2009, 07:17 PM
