is this a good OC? (P4 3.06 on air)

[TheTrebleKing]

i didnt know what to show, so ran sandra and CPU-Z

no point doing any benchies cos my graphics card broke and running a Ti 200 atm :(

should be getting a Gainward 6800XT GS "GLH" soon tho :D

the ram in my system is generic crap PC3200 doing 202.3mhz (roughly) at 4:5

is this good for newbie?

the voltage in CPU-Z is reading wrong cos i set 1.775Vcore in bios, maybe fluctuations? i dont understand most of the stuff about voltage and such, only more volts = more mhz upto a certain point.

i deffo got the OC bug but not got OC kinda ca$h lol

[Nimrod0031]

pretty good OC for that chip on air. Almost as fastas my 3.0c on air.

[TheTrebleKing]

thats max i can get with that chip, sandra wont do the CPU thing with any higher Mhz and crashes, i'll try and see if i can run 3dmark2k1 on this nasty Ti200 and post scores, not a clean install or anything, and all generic crap parts, so dont expect anything impressive lol

[TheTrebleKing]

well heres the 3DMark2K1 screenie, no surprises, it didnt even get past 9000 :(

i could do with that Gainward 6800GT about now... :confused:

not exactly cutting edge performance, but will tide me over till i get some new hardware :D

[TheTrebleKing]

after some tweaking, i managed to improve the 3dmark01 score to break 10,000 3D marks.

this lil old GeForce 3 Ti 200 is very fun to play with, stock speeds are a meagre 175Mhz Core and 400Mhz Memory (no DDR on this card) and on stock cooling with no Vmods or anything extreme like that, i managed to overclock it to 240/490 stable, imagine watercooled or vapo? could take some Ti200 records :p:

the card doesn't even have ramsinks, and the heatsink and fan doesn't even look big enough to cool a northbridge.

heres the screenie:

i'll see if i can push for 10,500 tomorrow night

:toast:

[TheTrebleKing]

thats why its dead then at those speeds lol

this is the 64mb version.

i might buy a few cheapo cards like these to practice overclocking with, much better than expensive mistakes, maybe an MX440 next?

*edit* now theres an idea, ppl send me ur old obsolete cards for me to overclock the $hit out of them so i can learn stuff lol

[sr4470]

Sh*t my rig can barely match that score...

The voltage indicated in cpu-z is likely more acurate that the bios setting.

Very nice oc ... you can ran superpi 1m ?

[TheTrebleKing]

yeah ran super PI and got 41sec not as fast as i would like.

i'll run it again and post screenies.

[thomas66]

WOW you are running a very high volatge on that cpu
iam running a cpuz (reading) volatge of 1,576 for running my 3,0c at 3,7 24/z setup..

[TheTrebleKing]

just lowered the voltage a tad (1.75 in BIOS) and managed a 38sec Super PI 1M, is that good for this chip? heres screenie:

http://images5.theimagehosting.com/SuperPI.JPG

swapping over to an GeForce 4 MX460 tonight, see what kind of 2k1 scores i can get with that.

[TheTrebleKing]

wonder what kind of speeds this chip would do on a cascade?

if someone with a cascade would lend me a chip, i would happily send this to them to try out, might get a nice clock

oh btw, the motherboard im using in all this is an ASUS P4P 800 Deluxe,

for that Super PI i dropped my ram timings to 2.5-3-3-5

darent go any lower with this cheap stuff

[TheTrebleKing]

well the GeForce 3 Ti200 pisses all over the GeForce 4 MX440.

the latter card only managed a mere 8800 3D Marks, with 340mhz Core and 600Mhz Memory, thats an overclock of 40mhz on the core and 60mhz on the memory, the card couldn't even run nature.

so i guess i'll look for a different budget card to practice overclocking with :confused:

heres the 3D Mark 2k1 screenie:

[TheTrebleKing]

pushed the Ti 200 a little further in 2k1
