testing 2.4A

[althes]

Using a p4c800ed, jaton g4 mx440, kingston hyperx 3200
slk948u, tornado 80mm fan

[althes]

A little more testing

[althes]

Just keeps getting better

[althes]

Its a nice cpu, which runs very warm, no overheating at all.

[althes]

It runs at about 37c

[althes]

My ram is doing nicely also.;)

[althes]

I will continue testing tomorrow, time to sleep.:D

[althes]

Its a CO stepping SL738 Q340 made in malay:D

[althes]

running at 202fsb now

[althes]

Running at 202fsb now.

[althes]

here is some more testing.:D

[althes]

206fsb

[althes]

With better cooling this chip can do something, but doing great on air.
I have run up on that bug, no boot after 1.6v for prescott using p4c800ed.Running at 43c.
Will try the AI7 tomorrow.:D

[Kanavit]

very nice scores, Althes. can u post some aquamark3 runs?

[althes]

Will have to dl it, look for it later.

[althes]

I have hit a wall 206fsb with the asus board.Need just a little more volts.Will run with the ai7 tomorrow.
Issues with running aquamark on the jaton card.Getting an error.:(

[=w=]

I was looking at purchasing this processor, and an Abit Max-3, hoping to hit 3.7 with water.

[jll]

Great cpu, and I have one stopped at home... :rolleyes:

DOPE!!!!! :banana: :banana:

I'll test it on a IC7-G, how does this board works with the 2.4a, does it have that 1.6v "wall" or not, testers reply! :toast:

Best wishes

The IC7 family work PERFECTLY with the Prescotts....up to a nice toasty 1.75V :D
For some reason or another, Asus just doesn't do well w/Pressie
(Unless you happen to be one of those Japanese OC'ers who mod their P4C800's to run correctly)

hi,
yes, your chip is nice.
interestingly with the ai7, but possibly ai7 is not so good for pressi like the other abit-4-phase.
could be the same score.


i have this chip too, see pic. running on droop-modded p4p800 and is7-e rev1.2.
on p4p800, vrm is near to a grill-party. :D
on is7-e running absolutely easy this chip, but the chip is'nt as good.
doing 3500 prime under water on 1,55v.
lapped this sucker a bit.

[althes]

that is very nice, I think I just killed the chip in the p4c800.Asus boards do not like prescott chips.
I was playing dod running cpu at 150fsb at default volts, it just shut down, when i boot it it says cpu failed system test.
Will leave it off with no power for a couple hours.
The last pressie I had ran ok in a ai7 up to 1.64v, so they are not vey good in the AI7.
If this pressie is still alive tomorrow I will try the AI7.:D

[sierra_bound]

Nice results, althes. If you get your CPU working again, you should try this HSF, now being shown off at Computex in Taiwan. You could have the first motherboard that flies. :D

[althes]

damn

[empty]

althes is it dead?

[althes]

i took it out of the asus board for a couple hours no go.
Putting it in AI7 now.

[Tedinde]

My 2.4a prescott wont go past 3.6 on air. And way higher temps than yours. You must got a better newer cooler stepping.

[althes]

It lives.
Dropped it in the AI7.Booted up like a charm

[empty]

can u run some more benchmarks with the ai7? :D i ordered one of these chips yesterday

[althes]

will do look for benches tomorrow, off to bed

[althes]

benching on te ai7

[althes]

aquamark3

[althes]

180fsb at default on Ai7

[althes]

abit eq

[althes]

here is 190 and 200 fsb.
The ram is crucial 3200
AI7 overvolts ram by .8volts

[althes]

200fsb

[althes]

hehe

[althes]

205fsb running well:D

[althes]

not bad

[althes]

here is a 3dmark01 at 205.
Using AI7, ATI 9200 stock, 2*256 crucial pc3200, vantec p4 hsf

[Poki]

Are you still near default voltage at 205fsb?

[charlie]

nice...

[dpa]

looks like the voltage is 1.5..

[althes]

running at 1.5v on the AI7 now.
Will try to do some more testing tonite.
This chips rocks on air.
If I had prommy it would do 4ghz with ease.

Thanks Charlie, so you say I should not have problems with the 2.4a and the IC7-G.

On air wich max volt do you advise? Thanks for the reply.

I hope to put some screen after the test.

If all goes well then I'll try in my P4C800 Dlx chilled system.

i got my chip today, what the max vcore i should put though it on water?

about 1.6v would be ok.

Hi,

I picked up my 2.4a Pressie and the IC7 and booted only to Bios, I have to get a disk to install windows, but I've been trying to get some overclock from this cpu.

When I booted up, the temperature was around 51º with auto voltage set and a Termalright SLK800 and a Enermax 92´fan, what do you think about this temps.

Overclocking the "guy" it reached 166 FSB smoothly but when tryed to go to 180 FSB it hangs and don't even "Posts".

Can you give me some feedback on the values.

Thanks in advance

Hope to year from you.

Jorge Lopes

[charlie]

A couple quick things.....
1) do you have latest IC7 BIOS?
2) rememeber these things get like 90% of their OC at low volts. So since the IC7 undervolts the core a bit, set it to 1.45v and shoot for about 180ish...maybe higher.
3) and yeah, they run hot but don't seem to mind.

C

[althes]

definitely need the latest ic7 bios, and just follow charlie's directions. You will be fine.

[empty]

this 2.4a surely kicks my 2.4b's ass :D

19346 at 3.6ghz and softmodded 9500, my ram blows...2.5-7-4-4 @ 200mhz

[TyphooN]

do you guys think 2.4a's are better than 2.4c's, just wondering if i should get one to test it or not.

[empty]

i think clock for clock they are slower

[althes]

Very true, only if you scale them high will they be better
