Just got word from Zardon at Driver Heaven that board member The_Neon_Cowboy has been a busy boy testing various drivers using a probe on the back of his 9800 PCB with the 3.7 set, the 3.8 set and the Omega 3.8.5 set based on the dell drivers for overheating problems with ATI hardware.
I wanted to see and show other weather the rumors of problems are true or not. I started off with the latest omega drivers based on the 3.8.5's since they were already in my system. I ran good old driver cleaner in between installs. Also all 3 temps were taken @ the exact same point in 3dmark just after test 3 while loading/starting test 4. Nothing on the desk or pc was moved (except my mouse) from start to finish.
