Lol, buying the cooler was just an inducement for you to spend ur saved / earned / hoarded money. not to be taken seriously :hap5: unless you would be regularly using that card @ that speeds.:cool2:TheMask said:lol.. i understand what u saying.. but i think i can cross that magic 5 figure mark even without exotic cooling, as long as i keep a check on the temp.. keeping the Mem clock constant and reducing the GPU clock by 10MHz, the score dropped by 50 pts or so (47 to be precise).. i was hoping a small 5MHz bump on GPU wud take me over 10k.. will test and post here
