Overclocked E1705/9400 7900 GS Benchmark Results - Page 29

The dual pipe is about a 6 to 10 degree difference from what ive seen. Most dependant factor is ambient temp, assuming the grills are clean.

Noob question here.

Hi, bit of a noob question, but how do you remove the heatsink from the
7900GS?

It seems like it's glued on, do I need to use a hairdryer?

Any help would be much appreciated.

just remove the 4 hex screws and the 4 normal screws round the edge...and it will seperate..it might need a little encouragement, but just go easy on it...

Yeh, all the screws are out but it aint budging. I don't wanna end up pulling a chip or something off the card.

Has anyone had to resort to more 'forceful' methods to remove their heasink?

No. The four silver torx screws in the middle are what holds the HS to the card. The 4 standard black little Dell screws are what holds the entire assembly, card and HS to the motherboard. Remove them first, so your holding the card in your hand. Then remove the four silver screws. They have spring pressure, so make sure they are full backed out. The card should separate by it self.

When I re OC my 7900 after dell replaced my notebook I wasnt getting good clocks and topped out at 550/1100.. then I realized I wasnt using the V in the flash Anyone else get this kind of luck with the card.

I've got the card in my hand with the all screws removed and the RAM heatsink removed, but the main GPU heatsink on the other side won't budge.

Its most likely the thermal pad stuck to the GPU and the heat sync. If thats all it is, you can gently pull it apart.

Dell-machina, unless you have a dual pipe heat sync, i would not recommend volt modding it. With out the voltmod, i wouldnt go above 480/600.

OK, so I've kinda skimmed through this thread and I have a couple of questions. First, are there any different drivers that I should be using over the ones dell installed? Can you get new drivers from Nvidias site? Also, do you need to have I8fanGUI installed? Is it essential, or does it just help a bit?(I already dl'd it, just curious) At the beginning of the thread there were a couple of different ways to overclock. What's the easiest way to do it? I was planning on doing the "Stormlifter" way. If I do it that way, where should I start out?(speedwise) I have a E1705 with a 7900GS, C2D 2.00ghz. Any suggestions? I don't want to go too high because I don't want to worry too much about heat issues. But at the same time I want some performance increase.

Any drivers will work, but youll probably see some more performance from the tweaked drivers from tweaks are us. I would recommend using I8kfangui to have your fans running on slow all the time, and bumped up to high when the games start. The only way to overclock is to do the bios flash. With my single pipe card, i would not do a voltmod as i mentioned above. 480/600 was about as far as it could be pushed so it was artifact free im gaming. ATItool showed artifacts, but gaming was clean. If you can get your hands on a dual pipe heat sync, and volt mod, it will probably go over 600 for both. I seriously recommend NOT volt modding a single pipe card due to heat issues.

Well I have a single heatpipe, and have no problems with running the voltmod...I only get up to 90 in FEAR etc...as its summer here in Australia and ambient temps are up around 30-35C just now...

yea well i have a single pipe, oc'd to 570/1150 runs all day long, plays all day long, and 3hours with no artifacts, i do not know y people trip out over this, i had no previous experience flashing bios or anything and i figured it out just fine, with no problems whatsoever, i reach 83 max using i8kfangui.

Well, I did a little overclocking. Here are my specs.

C2D 7200
WXGA+ screen
100gb 7200rpm hdd
1gb 667mhz memory
7900gs
stock driver
90w power

At stock clocking I got 6420 in 3d Mark.
At 470/1150(stock voltage) I got 7720(56C with fans on high)
At 525/1150(1.24v) I got 8320
At 550/1150(1.24v) I got 8564(69c with fans on high)

So I'm wondering....where do I go from here? How much higher should I try to go? What's the max temp before I should start worrying? I want to break 9k. I feel like I SHOULD be breaking 9k. Would 575/1200 be too much for the card? Or should I ask what temp is too far?

All depends on your comfort level. I felt the single pipe was inadequate for the volt mod, and so did Dell, so i hung around 480/600, no volt mod. 102 is the thermal barrier, but i feel anything much over 80 is too hot.

I'm with you on not wanting to take it too far. I totally agree. But the thing is.....I haven't even hit 70 yet. So I don't really feel like I'm pushing it. At stock I was hitting in the high 50's low 60's. So this wasn't exactly a huge jump in heat.
