hi MM
newer batches of i 7 950 (as well as i 930) are well known in the OC scene to run hotter than early batches (< 31xxx) .
experimentating with Thermal paste wont help too much.
Trick is to use a well vented case with good air flow and a good cpu cooler.
Good ones (Mugen- Armageddon -...
thanks humph
Its based on a new and very lean OSX 10.6.4 installation with only the benchmarkprograms
installed , so nobody has to worry getting some frames less .
But it was alot of fun to build this rig .Though its my third hack:honestly.. without the help of this community here and over @...
adding Win 7 results in Cinebench
so we can see that Apple has a lot of homework
OpenGL is important , because a lot of Proapps
Aperture, PS, Motion etc. and most of all games
heavily rely on OpenGl performance.
same rig .
slightly off topics :
HD 5770 is just more difficult in Win 7 with current ATI catalysts after 9.12
I had to write a EDID override inf. , cause I had no chance to get 1920x1200
as my native resolution. Win 7 is very strict with EDID informations.
OSX is much more forgiving.
no problem here.
DVI-VGA-HDMI- working with Vervet
HDMI even in 720p/50Hz with attached Panasonic Pro Plasma and correctable Overscan
in MonitorPreferences .
Go to bios - Boot priorities - set all to HD -no CD
you can always boot a CD with F 12
Bingo.
concerning your 5770 problems >go to insanelymac> Hd 5770 thread and read.
Did it :
stock HD 5770 @ stock CPU 3 Ghz = 35.64 fr.
My best Win 7 and Macosx OpenGl results
with an HD 5770 (note Win 7 is 32 bit - so 90 fr. would be in reach :-)
CPU= 7.06
So long on the fly :
Number 1 in Win7 and MacOSX 10.6.4 :mrgreen:
Luckily got a nice i 7 750 chip with a good batch that boots in Win7 @ 4,52 on air @1,34 V load and finishes a 32 M SuperPi in 8.06 .(inst. with iboot-ati5x)
Boots in OSX 10.6.4 @ 4,45 . Not for 24/7, though temps are < 75 degrees C load.
Using an Armageddon cooler in pushpull config. with 2...
64 bit with HD 5770 worked for a long time here with aseres mod. 1.1.9. with vervet
as framebuffer , without any ati rom and netkas init ..see my post @ insane 7/2010
simply graphics enabler yes and if you dont use a DSDT = PCIRootUID= 1
but
kabyl boot works perfectly here as well ..
