athlon64 overclock record. all owners please post

[s e t h]

would all athlon64 owners please post full stepping codes and overclock stats. saves you having to scratch around for it later. unless the IHS is already your keyring. lol

i just ordered an 0330 - 99 myself. full codes to follow. hoping to create a collection of records for athlon64 overclocks. will be trying out the soltek K8AV2-RL next week. will be shooting for 233fsb sync on air till i get better cooling.

thanks in advance to all posters

[Soulburner]

http://www.cpudatabase.com/ is a good place to start, you should upload your records there when they are final.

[s e t h]

the first post here will be more usefull as they don't have a single one yet.

[Soulburner]

Exactly, that's why you add it to the database. Look how many P4s, 1700+ and 2500+'s there are. They had to start from scratch too.

They're still brand new.

[s e t h]

nevermind everyone lets just post all our notes and experiences and discussions over there K!

[st0nedpenguin]

The OC thread is kind of a tradition on XS Soulburner, the only reason I haven't posted is because I don't have an A-64.

Um that's not what I was saying...apparently you missed my point.

All I said was it would be cool to add it to the database...nevermind my suggestion :rolleyes:.

[jmke]

check the CPU database for XP 1700 Tbred

highest CPU overclock.... 4400Mhz ??

[QuadDamage]

0330 "F4" in third code line - 2670mhz at 1.9V rock stable on Gigabyte mobo, 3rd highest score on ORB.

My new 0331 "9" isn't that great though.

[s e t h]

sorry you were right it was a fantastic suggestion :rolleyes: . plenty info there :eek: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

i can see this is going to be a brilliant thread :rolleyes:

[s e t h]

thanks QuadDamage for the comparison. maybe my 0330 will be a good one too.

[st0nedpenguin]

Off to a cracking start. :D

[KnightElite]

I'll stick this, since I think it will have some relevance ;).

[s e t h]

:D my first sticky. i'm honoured

[st0nedpenguin]

Nice one, now all you need is some A-64 owners. :p:

[thesaucier]

I just took a peek. Nothing yet! :cool:

[Major]

I hope you can read the pic info !

The rest is in my sig

[sysfailur]

Someone clean up this thread and let's post up overclocks!

[KingInge2000]

2350 MHz stable, 2400 MHz benchable @ 1.65V (maybe the ram).
Cooled with water.
Next week i'll try some Mushkin Level II. Hope for 2400 stable.

[s e t h]

Major Slaughter - perfect thanks

KingInge2000 - forget to write down the codes before installing the waterblock? thanks for the vcore info anyway

[shortcircuit]

2380Mhz using 1.7v vcore and totally stock cooling. I'll write down the codes from the cpu and post them when I pull off the IHS this weekend.

I'm using an ASUS K8V running the memory at 238mhz 1:1 cas2 2-2-6 at 3.2v. The same chip only did 2310 in an MSI K8T800. Hopefully I can get the prommy running on it this weekend and get back into the top 10 on the ORB...

edit:
cpu codes are as follows:
ADA3200AEP5AP
CAACK 0330UPWM
9438245200435

Running at 2500mhz now with the prometia installed. I'm pulling the IHS off now in hopes of 2.6ghz, but I also need to reload my OS (lost it at 251mhz fsb). Also my corsair xms3500 is up to 245mhz 1:1 at cas2 2-2-6 :) I never thought this memory would clock so high...

[Dagalidis]

Just for start i am running with Stock Cooling at 2230 MHZ and keep going UP with ONLY 1.488 Vcore (default).......

[zakelwe]

http://www.aocb77.dsl.pipex.com/abit2.jpg

It's a bit big so I include it in a LINK

I seem to have ended up with a CAAMC 0034 MPMW

Hope it's not a remarked XP1700+ :D

Anyone else got a CAAMC ? You don;t think it is one that didn't quite make the grade to a K do you ...?

Regards

Andy ( slightly concerned )

[s e t h]

it looks good to me. how is it performing?
btw i've hosted it for you. - zakelwe's chip below.
http://flytek.co.za/store/zakelweathlon64.jpg

[Dagalidis]

Well now on 2400 MHZ stable using ONLY Stock AMD HEATSINK @ 1.64 Vcore....... :banana:

[s e t h]

Dagalidis - i saw your codes in another post. how would you like to post them here? nice to see your overclock on air just for a change :cool:

http://flytek.co.za/store/zakelweathlon64.jpg

thanks Flytek for that :) nice thread by the way.

I haven't got it more than stock at present due to psu problems due to poor rails and also my motherboard doesn't like the 12v 4 pin line.

Will sort that out and then update.

Regards

Andy

[Dagalidis]

Finally not so stable at 2400 MHZ.....
After using CPU TOAST for stability test i found when CPU reach 51C temp freezes..... :rolleyes:

So the highest stable right now with AMD stock Cooling is 2380 - 2390 MHZ....

When upping Vcore to 1.723 then the system is more unstable due to HIGH CPU Temps....

I will receive my new EXOS clip in about 2-3 weeks and lets hope can have 2600MHZ stable.....

Btw..... Stepping details is ADA3200AEP5AP CAAKC 0334TPMW 9441535240131

[niaboc79]

Wath do you think of this config:
ABIT KV8 max 3
Athlon 64 3200+
2*256 Corsair PC3200 LL BH5
Prometeia mach 1 or 2 (RMA)

I want 2800Mhz!

[DeathMonk]

I don't have my stepping available right now but...

2210Ghz with stock voltages.

Anything higher becomes unstable.

[DoGMaN]

Mine does 2300 @ 1.65v stock cooling 3dmarkable I'll have to pull the cooler off later to get the codes.

[shortcircuit]

I lost the OS getting this screenshot, but still.... I can't wait till ASUS fixes the bios on the K8V to handle the higher dividers
:D

[s e t h]

impressive shot shortcircuit

This chip does 2320Mhz on Zalmaan cooler. It does this at 1.5v, at 1.65v it also does this value ..weird :) More investigation needed !

Regards

Andy

[Kunaak]

0337 XPMW is all I remember...

2505 on air.
2450 stable for 3dmark.

[s e t h]

excellent Kunaak. it is starting to look like the later the week the better as it should be this early in the production run.

i recieved my board and chip yesterday.
chip codes:
ADA3200 AEP5AP
CAAKC 0330 MPMW
9845565240073.

the soltek K8AV2-RL has max cpu voltage of 1.7 and was not able to give prime stability at 220fsb :( . no multiplier settings and no memory timing settings to speak of. max vdimm is 2.9 which should be enough to get my bh-5's to 233fsb. it was a pleasure to set up and it does look awsome. i however have not run a personal rig at stock speed for years and i'm not about to start now. a new psu may well help the cpu. looks like i'm going to have to flog this rig and get a new combo asap.

[zakelwe]

Good luck Flytek !

Kunaak, tried your suggestion of 2-6-3-3 and still nothing oiver 2320Mhz. Interestingly at max Mhz it will do 3dmark2001 but another 1Mhz FSB, ie 10Mhz cpu it won't go into windows. I am trying a different PSU tonight.

Regards

Andy

[Kunaak]

I forgot what your running, but are you running 1:1, or have you had this problem with the 333 mode too?

[s e t h]

my first athlon 64 :D

Originally posted by Kunaak

I have it at 333 and 266 modes. Funnily when running 333 mode the machine bogs down to a virtual standstill, suspect something BIOS related. 266 not so bad. 400 1:1 flies.

I have never seen a chip that will do everying so close to the limit, very strange. Makes me think something is stopping it like a brick wall rather than a normal tail off in stability ..gives me hope I guess. Continuing investigations.

Regards

Andy

[Dagalidis]

Still with AMD STOCK COOLING AND KEEP GOING....... :D :D

OMG 2450 MHZ but not stable 100% YET.......

[Benny Lodewijk]

I've got my A-64 3200+ with 0339 WPMW 9xxxxxxx any one can tell me about this stepping ? And i need suggestion about motherboard that match with it :) :) i preffered nForce3 chipset. I can't turn this "baby" on 'cause i don't have the mobo right now.

[althes]

Keep up the good work boys.:D

[s e t h]

tough question Benny. the chip looks like the newest stepping i've heard of so that is a very good start. the board to get is really a tough question. i hate to recomment gigabyte but that or the chaintek may be the best options. i think the most important thing to look for would be working multiplier manipulations which allow you to raise your fsb really high without pushing the chip over.
all the best. please post full codes and some results when you get it up and running

[Benny Lodewijk]

Finally i take Gigabyte GA-K8N non Pro...nForce3 150, well.... hope this board can do something :D :D i will post my result A.S.A.P :banana: :banana:

Just saw this link :-

http://www.e04hardware.com/Cht/kv8max3/kv8max35.htm

They have a Abit KV8 Max3 as well and ereach exactly the same 232FSB with rock stability and then no stability at 233Mhz, just like mine !

Hmmmm ...

Regards

Andy

[Benny Lodewijk]

Finally i can test my A-64.... with GA-K8N i can reach 230 FSB after make some modification on my waterblock.

Here is the compare url http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=7157859

[s e t h]

shees Benny. that's a mean score. i hope my 9500 will get near there in this rig one day

[Benny Lodewijk]

With Twinmos CH-5 and tight timing @ fsb 230 hit 22K :D :D

WHAT WAS THAT DONE AT?? i TAKE it under 1.8v vcore correct due to the vcore bug???

na just some playing around...damm dividers are killing me.
the chip will run this and maybe more.but if i try to use 1.1 or even 5:4 crashes.i just wanted to see what was holding me back.chip or memory and board....

so i went down to elimanate one or the other..so its not the chip....i am going to work on the memory subsytem now.

just so anyone knows i tried hyperx4000,hyperx3500(bh5),ocz dual gold 3500,twinmoss bh5,adatapc4000.and finially the mushkin pc3500.and the mushkin won for timing.
i am reloading windows now before i hit the bed

Excellent results Bowman.:toast:
Damn, if only it were possible to get higher than 10 multi though!
I'd really like to try and see if 3G would work on these chips. They'd be unstoppable.:D

[Dagalidis]

Ok still with AMD STOCK HEATSINK and still searching the top Overclock...... :D

its mickeymouse's old chaintech, i blew the agp slot.after i got my radeon to run one bench.so i just been playing with high high i could take the chip with my cooling...it took 1.9vcore to do that 2830mhz.it will load windows @2850 and it may go higher but the ovp kickes me out over 1.92vcore

[bowman1964]

so I guess that cpu has potential after all??

WE NEED TO GET YA A MOBO OR THE BUGS IRONED OUT ON THAT SETUP :)

thats some power there :)

yea the only anser I can seem to come up with is the vreg on the agp is toasted.it will run fine untill i load the readeon over 520core and then it blackscreens.i tried measuring the agp voltage and drops to much when load is applied.i may try and rma the board while i play on a gigibyte which is due friday

[koensa]

so there is no different steppings?
only caack?

but only other weeks,correct?
the newer the better?

darn why is it still +500€...

anybody heard about the 3000+ or 2800+ or other slower and cheaper a64?
do they exist?

[newkid]

I getting one soon

I just bought some Mushkin PC3500 (BH5)... What timings/voltage are your using with that memory? I can't get it stable at all..

cumps

[Dagalidis]

The Super PI seems too low for me at this Speed....
See mine ......

[|RickY|]

nothing optimized just testing cpu dont remember ddr timings and other bios options, but they are relaxed i think

[|RickY|]

i made the mods on the board,
cpu:
ht600, mems very relaxed @ 266mhz, tnt2m64 to handle more agp
255 stable @ 1.6v
260 stable @1.65v
260 stable @1.75v
260 stable @ 1.9v errrrrr
at 265 1.9v crashes on the end of superpi

tryed 265x9.5 and run fine superpi
try 270x9.5 and §§§§s my main partition :(

very strange isn't suposted to have a better gain with more voltage?

maybe i'v some luck on 9.5x265 run... and its the board limit or pci limit...at more than 265

need an nf3 board... but i'm apreensive... i want more than 2.6ghz :S

cumps to ppl

[s e t h]

sound like the cpu is too hot. what board is that?

[|RickY|]

asus k8v dlx

my promy shows -48º and cpu shows -12º @ 2.5ghz 1.6vcore and seti full load after 2 ou 3h

[s e t h]

carefull of the resistors when you remove the ihs :D

[s e t h]

what do you mean qwerty? leave it on or take it off? any difference?

[|RickY|]

on p4 at air the gain is 2 ou 3ºc without hs, but the risk is very high... i'v seen 2 ou 3 cpu's going to hell...

anyway its normal to don't gain anything from 1.6 to 1.9v? i wish the problem is the board... i'm waiting for a gigabyte :D

tankyou ppl :toast:

[Warden]

Nothing to brag about compared to you guys but in an effort to add one more CPU to the mix.

AMD64-3200 @ 2.25ghz on stock cooling.

I have a feeling this CPU has a lot more in it but my Ram blows and cant even run 1:1 at this. I think the timings cause problems because at even 2.26 the system will hard lock in any 3D App.

Warden

[s e t h]

welcome Warden if you havn't been welcomed already.
have you tried to lower your ldt setting in the bios to 2.5x system clock or even 2x system clock. remember your cpu's codes?

[Warden]

CPU Codes are:

CAAKC 0334TPMW

If you need more info then that just let me know. I did have to lower the LDT to 2.5 in order to even get a 5mhz overclock. The system will boot at 230 FSB and I managed get it to run at 240 FSB with Easy Tune for a bit but I think my Ram and possibly stock cooling solution is screwing me up.

my pci crap's out at 2.83 so 2800 is my tops and i still will corrut the hard drive.
but i have some new ram coming....hopfull i can run 1:1 around 280fsb...i will see:D

[charlie]

It's a mixed blessing, Bowman. I really wish I could run 11 x 280 1:1, lol. With 600 LDT (3x) you're limited to about 234ish, at LDT400 (2.5x) I've done 256 using 5:4 divider, fortunately the DC architecture makes up for the lack of fsb with massive b/w. AFter all they say the A64 IS an FX minus the DC controller and minus the unclocked multi's. But the key to all this benching fun is you guys' vid cards...I have arguably the most powerful CPU on the ORB but can't break the top 5 at 533/439. I really need some better GPU cooling. BTW, OT do you know what kind of evap temp a r404 prommy maintains on a 9800Pro? Trying to compare it to the temps of my DI rig...

yep you right....problem is finding fast memory the board likes...the mushkin wont run as fast as the ocz or hyperx i have.seams the boards are really picky anymore.good thing i have like 8 pairs of fast memory setting here to play with.and i will tell a little something...i have some pc4300 CL 2.5 memory on the way...fastest out.o so it looks like...
i havent said a word about it yet and i see no one has spotted it yet being available...i wanted to get mine on the way before i opened my mouth..LOL..
anyways the adata i had ran 280 1:1 and would sandra 4300+ killer score for a a64,but the memory crashes so much it is unusable.so i am hopping pc4300 CL2.5 may do what i need...

anyone get a Week 38 3200+ ??

i just got one with a GB mobo..


Setup:
Amd64 3200+
GB
36gb u320 15k.3 scsi hdd
1gb Hyper-x rev. a01 & a02 (02 is bh-5 and 01 is ch-5 i believe)
nv 5900u


Not sure how good that'll do. i think the mobo will limit my oc to a good extent.. but its worth a try. im hopeing for flat out 2ghz..

awesome. congrats to everyone who posted their a64 results...

just curious anyone try to biostar?

i wish abit and asus can get their act togethor so users wont have to use 3rd party mobos

[saaya]

hm i never heard of a good board from biostar... they concentrate on building cheap boards afaik, not quality boards.

[NoOne]

3.3 .. omg

[luihed]

Good overclock there guys..... especially Chalie there with the 3gs on an FX..... seems like teh board of choice right now is the Giga K8N-pro, am I right? Also does anyone know if the non-pro will be able to use the same clockgen to change the multi? thanks and keep up the good work.....

[s e t h]

... sad but true. for best results you need the k8np or k8nnxp. (somebody correct me if i'm wrong please) - same size biois as the socket 940 which even has bios multipliers. making it i think one of only 4 that can do multipliers in the bios
albaton, leadtech, gigabyte (with 940 bios) and epox 8hda3+

i'm not sure which ones do or don't support in windows multiplier lowering or fsb change or exactly what software to use. :confused:

[CrashOv3r1De]

Whats the highest stable overclock for EVERYDAY use on an A64 so the user would not have to worry about hd corruption and other problems.?

[Major]

With my new A64 I'm able to hit 2.7ghz under the promie on a K8N-pro, thats with the IHS still in place. It's taking me just over 2.0v Vcore to do that, big change from my first A64 that would do 2.75ghz with only 1.85v. I'll take the IHS off in the next couple of days and post a pic of stepping info.

[QuadDamage]

wondering why AMD doesn't make brownies anymore. This chip could do 10x240 on crappy MSI K8T800 mobo at only 1.6V on air and scored almost 25k with a raddy clocked at 520/390 plain water cooled.

note the stepping:

http://www.tbreak.com/nasser/Naser/Steppings.jpg

[QuadDamage]

you mean AAALC i think. yeah, this one was also a review chip. Maybe AMD distributed them brownies only to review sites cos right now you can get only green "9"'s... i visited few stores myself hoping to find at least one brown chip but no one had even one of these.

[zakelwe]

I think the brown ones you got where cherry picked Quad ???? maybe ?

Anyhow the CAAMC's are about now and although mine is green it will do 245x10 on air . I think all AMD 3400's will be the CAAMC.

Kunaak has one that will do 2450-2500 as well but I do not know if it is a CAAKC or CAAMC

To be honest, considering the hoopla over when a Tbred goes from a DLTC3ABCDEFGHIJKLM1 to a DLTC3ABCDEFGHIJKLM2 I'd have thought going from CAAK to CAAM would have been a "big thing"

Wonder what happened to CAAL ? Maybe overclocked to 3Ghz on air so it has gone to the same place as the car that drives on water .....

[Paulchen2]

hi!

how can i set the bios pci/agp frequency? (asus k8v)
where do i have to set this? in this bios itself?

Nice results quad..

btw that pic looks real nice =)

where did you get ur chip?

Those are weel 30-33.

i have a 38 and its Green...

So maybe the Older ones were brown?

[QuadDamage]

Crash,

it's a review chip sent by AMD to tbreak.com.

zakelwe,

yeah i know what you mean, but strange thing is for some reason i can't get any of these new green chips to clock higher than 220fsb 100% stable on that VERY SAME MSI mobo... not to mention that it was a "sample" board i hit 240fsb with. I mean on air of course. OK, i've played like with three of these green ones and they all did around 2.6-2.7Ghz under prommie but still, they don't clock that great on air. By the way, i attained my scores with that brown chip around 25 days before the NDA expired.

[Dissolved]

guess we need to find the Brown ones :)

[saaya]

well the early a64s were brown, are the older steppings better than the new stuff? :confused:

from everything ive seen thats been the truth..

Which is sad..

Anyone know if they could get my a brownie? i got some $ i need to waste :toast:

[saaya]

hmmmm ... ask excaliberpc :)

i guess amd used their best silicon etc for the first a64s since they wanted to release it and needed a high yield to get as many cpus as possible in a short time... now they are using lower quality silicon...

sam with the bartons, the latest bartons oc worse than the very first bartons released...

[bowman1964]

well mine is still climing...up to 2830 benchable right now.....@1.99v.
but it takes a stipped board to do it....disable everything possable and only have one IDE cable attached to a hd.bare to the bone...as you can get..

im starting to think that also. im not where that far into ocing the 64, but i got a ton of crap running in my system, and i cant even get a 200mhz oc.. sad for an amd chip..

im haiving great problems with my mobo also..

So i hope someone else gets lucky :(

[saaya]

maybe the a64 likes high volts and gets a nice speed bump above 2.05v like the bartons... :D

well not mine:( i have had mine up to 2.11 were the ovp kills the board..but she is a heat maker for sure:D

[saaya]

is the vcore stable? the mosfets on those boards look surprisingly small...

[QuadDamage]

yeah bowman's right, these puppies indeed love juice. at around 2600-2650mhz 1.9V is a must, but then at this speed and voltage they pump out some massive wattage.
I'm wondering how good these 3400+'s will be.

[QuadDamage]

yeah jason, i hear ya, but your chip is/was almost as rare as the brown i had. If i remember correctly your chip was "R" wasn't it? I fail to find one of those so far:)

remember once i posted a pic of a 3400+ (at futuremark) shown in athlonxp.com's 3200+ review? i think they posted it by mistake or something, do you have it saved somewhere my man? wondering what was the stepping on that one...

my "stepping database" went to hell after i formatted my HDD by mistake. I had like 50 pics of diffrent steppings collected at various review sites. I was hoping Candjac would take a look at them one day and figure out the steppings.

Opteron 1.6Ghz next to brown A64 :

http://www.tbreak.com/nasser/Naser/Opvs64.jpg

[QuadDamage]

of course these are not my chips, but i can assure you i benched them + two of those FX-51's:) the thing was i couldn't use any xtreme cooling on them:(

what's up jason, you're not posting anymore at FM, are you sick or something?:D heh, ever thought of quitting benching? man, i think i'm going to retire pretty soon. you need like 1k$ for video and cpu alone + 200$ atleast for mobo these days. not to mention cooling...

[Dissolved]

Whats the Best stepping/week to get?

i have a guy that could probly get me whatever i needed.. :)

[QuadDamage]

hmm, tell him if he could get you a "F4" chip maybe instead of "9"?

[luihed]

I jsut got mine today and its a brownie....... I hope by the way you guys are talkin that its good....... here's teh complete stepping....

CAAMC 0342WPAW
9XXXXXXXX 0184

We'll see how this thing does on air for now till I find a block for my chiller....... not onna be greedy, all I want is 2300-2400mhz......

Board is a Shuttle AN50R.....

[Dagalidis]

My ATHLON64 3200+ stepping is ADA3200AEP5AP CAAKC 0334TPMW 9441535240131....

So far now the highest OC i made is 2480 MHZ on AIR with AMD STOCK COOLING but 3D was a mess......

The most stable OC with 3d working was 2463 MHZ and i have an AQUAMARK bench for you......

i am unable to understand your post. what is he reacting too? let alone overreacting. i can only assume that is a private joke between freinds. otherwise where you get off talking like that, to the man with probably the highest athlon64 air overclock on the planet, i don't know. i and many others are very happy to see what can be done without spending enough money for an entire system on cooling alone.

[luihed]

Mine will only do 2360mhz on air thats at max voltage of 1.7v....... hopefully she does 2600-2700mhz when I put it in the chiller and more voltage..........:D

[CrashOv3r1De]

liuhed yes 2.6-2.7 is definately doable on phase

does the term "hippie lettuce" mean anything to you?

[saaya]

luihed im sure you can do 2.8 on phase, probably even more.

2.4ghz with only 1.7v on air is really nice! you seem to have a great chip there :D congrats :toast:

[luihed]

Thanks, its just a matter now of making a brackett for my waterblock...... I wish I had more time in my hands..... hopwfully by weekend Ive got everything set up then Ill see what this thing can do.....:D

[saaya]

thats the rig you will use in the xabre competition as well right? :D

[burns voice] excellent[/burns voice] :D

[Kunaak]

complete suicide shot, totally and utterly useless considering I have a VIA board.
but I pulled a few tricks to get this shot, I used a super old HD cause it's really resiliant to PCI speeds.
then I used a 7 dollar ATI-PCI Mach64...
I have no idea how old that is, but its got a whopping 4 megs of Vram :D

I picked it up today to see if I could try some high OC's with it, and it paid off alittle.
it goes farther then my 5900.

but anything above 2590 is nearly impossible to pass.
it's just a VIA chipset limit I think.
most people with VIA boards seem to max out at 2.6 for some reason...

this was done with watercooling, the temps were 35 and 30C.
videocard and NB watercooled.

watercooling set up goes like this.
large igloo thing for a res.
Eheim 1250 in there.
thermochill radiator.
dangerden Zchip and AMD64 waterblock.
the waterblocks are seperated with Y splitters.
Ceramique thermal paste.

the 1.8 volts on the CPU is alittle off.
it's actually 1.75 volts.
CPUZ always reads high for some reason.

[QuadDamage]

Nice o/c Kunaak. but as you said most if not all of these VIA boards crap out at around 2600mhz and to acomplish that you need some nice seagate HDD + high agp resistant video card, like GF4 or something but there's very small chance your r9800 Pro will bench at over 80mhz agp.
I think you should try Gigabyte or Shuttle NF3 boards.

or any GF card. GF2/3/4 should run stable at 100mhz agp = 50mhz pci.

[shortcircuit]

My next victim has arrived.

ADA3200AER5AP
CAAKC 0333MPMW

Results will be coming shortly, hopefully this one lasts longer than the last one.

[Overlag]

any tips/guides out there?

ive got an Asus K8V and an A64 3200... its 100% stable upto 2100mhz but from then on i need a volt increase and since the Asus only does 1.5 or 1.75volts im kinda stuck.

also, it posts and boots windows at 2333 but is wayyyyyyyy to hot for my liking. Would the 233 bus speed be using 33mhz pci like it says on the board?

[DeathMonk]

I just got a new A64 3200+

ADA3200AEP5AP
CAAMC 0341SPMW

It's brown, as you can see..

[Overlag]

oh yeah, my stepping code is somethin 0339, MPMW but the flash as blured out the rest....and i only took 1 picture! grrrrrr

[Kunaak]

Quad, I don't have a 9800 pro-I wish I did, but all I have are a 5900 and a ti4200 and then yesterday I picked up some 7 dollar ATI mach 64 PCI card.

so I got the Nvidia coverd ;)

my CPU is a 0337 MPMW.
it did all the way to 2.52 on air, benchamarkable.
I just got this watercooling kit on monday.
it's pretty nice so far.
this weekend I will hook it up with my chiller and see what happens.

I am working on getting a NF3 but thats gonna take me alittle time, so for now, I'll do what I can with what I have :D

my goal is a 255+ 1:1 benchmark this weekend, and hopefully break my 23,888 score with my 5900 and get a new High score for it.

[CrashOv3r1De]

Damn everyone is buying them I feel like a fool LoL.

[QuadDamage]

Kunaak,

At least you have a chance to actually max out your chip/ram, at least your video won't hold you back and heck, i wish i had one of these FX cards (actually i have FX5600 but it's too slow) , so i could run my pc at higher speeds 24/7. Right now i'm being lazy still using MSI VIA board 24/7 and i'm not sure whether to pick up another NF3 board or wait a month or so for NF3 250 Pro...

But then i have a big problem... I can't stop benching! If i ordered a NF3 mobo i would have exactly everything i need to shoot for top of the ORB including cooling and now even more experience compared to what i knew a month and a half ago...

heck, i wish someone would just erase my memory and didn't even know 3DMark exists...:D

[CrashOv3r1De]

Well just scraped away all of my intel gear. Im preparing myself for A64 =)

[Kunaak]

Quad-

re-read this quote then tell me, whats stopping you??

all I can say is, if I was you, I'd have a NF3 tommorow ;)

[QuadDamage]

well, i'm being a lucky SOB atm since i have some cash and i could afford an FX-51/mobo/ECC ram and even a video card just for benching, but... on the other hand, i already bought a cpu/mobo/ram/video card all top of the range stuff and i don't feel like i want to kill anything for 3D scores. Trust me, i've never regreted anything, even after i killed most of the system, but heck, today killing a video and chip = $1k down the drain just like that...

but then you never know, maybe i'll bench again soon:D if you were going for top 10 which mobo would you choose? is there any good NF3 board we haven't tried yet?

[Kunaak]

if you were going for top 10 which mobo would you choose? is there any good NF3 board we haven't tried yet?

I haven't seen anything from the Leadtek K8N Pro.
I know some will say why bother...
but then again 3 months ago, people were saying the same about chaintech and gigabyte.
so why not try the leadtek... thats my thinking.
so thats the board I am looking at soon.
I am way too unfamiliar with finding Vmods on my own so I am probably gonna let jason here take a look at the board before I get some benchmarking from it.

so as you may guess, I am sticking with my AMD 64.
the FX is just too much for me.

now, if I was going for a top ten shot, heres what I'd go for.

Asus SK8V-All Vmods done.
ATI 9800 XT-no weird brands, all Vmods.
OCZ 512 megs of ECC ram. (I just like trying things different then everyone else)
Seagate HD-as you suggest, as my 3 gig 128 cache 4200 RPM drive is too insanely slow for benchmarking ;)

my cooling, R404 Prometeia some time soon.
R404 Vapochill for Videocard.
waterchiller for everything else.
dry ice on CPU possibly.

I have tons of cooling stuff, just I'd have to pull every trick in the book if I really wanted to compete with some of the scores around right now ;)

I'd love to, just the price is just outta my league right now :(

[Overlag]

been trying to get 233fsb on my Asus K8V and it seems it doesnt change the dividers for AGP/PCI like it says on the MB, since the screen goes black when getting into windows, I can still play with it via sound lol....maybe WinVNC will allow me to navagate around my black screen issue... or i could put a Geforce 3 in, that likes 90ish fsb :)

Last night I did the vcore mod on my k8nnxp, removed the IHS on my new A64, and mounted the prometia on it. Everything still works :D but I really need a vmem mod for this board, I'm stuck using 3:2 for now. I haven't found the top mhz limit on this chip yet, I'm still trying to figure out the gigabyte board.

I picked up a promise fasttrak tx2000 ide raid controller which supports 33/66mhz pci... no hard drive problems at all.

[QuadDamage]

Jason,

how much for PCI IDE card? Is it expensive?

Kunaak,

thanks for input.

[shortcircuit]

I think I paid 120 euros for mine, but i've heard you can get the same card for $100 in the states.

[QuadDamage]

Thanks Shortcircuit. so it's not as expensive as i thought. Looks like i have to buy one of these.

[macci]

shortcircuit, can the gigabyte mobo run 3D at that FSB?
nice work :)

[shortcircuit]

I've been gaming for a while now at 8.5 x 300. Even the onboard sound works :D I'll try some benchmarks in a minute...

I'm running the HT bus at +0.1v and 2X, by the way.

I can't get this chip stable over 2600mhz. I'm hoping it's only because it's new and I ran out of AS3 and had to use cheap white goop.

[shortcircuit]

I can finish 3dmark 2001 @ 300fsb :D Can't wait till my 9800XT comes back from RMA

sweeeeeet :up:

[charlie]

Shortcircuit,
That's abso-freekin' lutely insane!. Now if you could just use the 9x or 9.5x you could have some SERIOUS CPU power...
9.5 x 294 = 2793mHz.....that'd be nice...
What's your DDR??

C

[QuadDamage]

i think OPP got his setup to run stable at 9x300. His setup runs pretty stable for sure as he even complained about "only 300fsb" limit in bios:D not to mention he runs at 5:4, you do the maths but i think it runs close if not around 250mhz/500DDR.

wondering why he didn't update his score yet?

You can change the corevolt to 1.550 Volt, in bios is an extra 0.150 volt funktion. The max corevolt is then 1.700 volt.

With a voltmod you can gain max 2.10 volt
Past 2.06 mine voltage "flikker" and become unstable.

Mine is a CAAMC 0342 and the max I can do 3dmark stable is 2655mhz...... was hoping to do 2700mhz but 2655mhz is the most she'll do even at 2v......cooling is by -20c water..... nevertheless its good enough to break 27K with my 9800pro:D

[s e t h]

i'm not really sure. at max i was just twisting that little vr until it went fast enough to take #1 in the country. i'm sure it was substantially over 1.8v though.

Lol... I know what you mean man...... sometimes its hard to stop turning the vr............ anyways again thats awesome clocking 9700pro you have there so take good care of it...... :D

Whoo wat FSB/MEM speeds are you running ?

Dammm those A64 rock :P

[eshbach]

ok, i got my chip. still waiting on the motherboard and heatsink, but the stepping on the cpu is:

ADA3200AE5AP
CAAMC 0339WPMW
9446543130306

how does that look?

[alz85]

What is ought to be the best A64 stepping ? XPMW ?

What kind of mem is running there :slobber:

[bowman1964]

all i can say is..it is some of the latest memory from OCZ i am testing now...

you know one sec high gpu clocks next none and vcore over 1.96v black screen????

very nice BTW thats some nice ddr and I bet rock stable at 295mhz or close ;)

yea its the replacement,i have 3 motherboards now i am testing.a gigabyte,chaintech,and a new shuttle.

i was wonrking on the ovp protection last night and got it working on the shuttle.took it over 2.01v without shutdown.before it was like all the boards...1.92 to 1.96 and shutdown.

as far as stable at 295...not good enough for me yet.the chip cannt stand the high clocks yet. that was almost a 3 gig chip.i tried to get a 3gig post and havent been able to yet.

i am testing and then i am getting rid all all but one setup.

Bowman,
Please let me know when you get the ovp figured out for the Chaintech.;)

Mickey,
I need the Chaintech bios that allows memory settings. Do you still have it or a link to it?

Anyone have a link to clockgen for the Chaintech? Not sure which one to use? Thanks :D

Just now setting mine up in Mach2...I've had it for months...first chance I've had to install it...using it in Mach2 review/guide along with regular AMD install.

[kakaroto]

In a few days I will receive my new A64 3000+ 512KB with code CAAMC 0349 RMPW.

I hope this will be a good one, because I haven't seen this type of code in the forum.

[Beastlock]

I have now about a week a athlon64 3000+
I have it whit stock cooling oced to 2,5Ghz
It's stable whit prime95
But I hav 1 problem ant that is my radeon 9600pro it hate high agp speed :( Wit a agp bus@ 78mhz than can't he hold it any more :(

http://www.actelecom.nl/gallery/albums/album01/pifast.jpg (http://www.actelecom.nl/gallery/albums/album01/pifast.jpg)

Now comes my question.
Can I flash a Sk8v bios in my K8V?
An can I use mp's higher than 10 whit my 3000+?
that would be great if that can :banana:

Sorry for my bad english

[s e t h]

nice chip Beastlock. 2.5 on stock air is excellent. looks like these 3000+'s could turn out both very nice.

[OPPAINTER]

These 3000 chips are good overclockers. We'll see how they will do against the P4c chips.

Great!! :D I can't wait how my A64 will perform on water.

So the K8N is PCI locked? Or are you using a PCI controller?
Because at 300fsb, the HD would not survive that.

Correct me if im wrong..

I use a Fast Track 100 raid controller. Not sure if matters or not, clockgen only shows the PCI clock at 34Mhz.

I'll also be putting this on water, to replace my 3.2 P4.

OK...the all brands clockgen works fine but I still need the Chaintech bios with ram timings. Mickey, I know you used it once, where can I find it? Bowman doesn't have it anymore.;)

Huge difference @ oc between green or brown ?

[OPPAINTER]

Its a greeny, uses about 2.07V for running 03 at 2940MHz.

I have one big problem though, I can't install W2k for anything.
It doesn't matter what I have the bios set to, it doesn't matter if I use my seperate IDE drive or my Raid card. I get blue screen when all files are loaded and it goes to Windows setup. This is with 3 different w2k CDs.
XP loads with ease. I'm going nuts!!

OPP

[Iateronmly]

I have a AMD 3000+
ADA3000AEP4AP
CAAOC 0343UPMW - 9459245K 30068 (brown chip incase anyone is curious).

Waiting for my mobo to arrive tomorrow to start playing though. In the mean time, I'm growing bored, and this IHS looks so ugly compared to that beautiful nekkid die.

Anyone know a good method for removing the TIM on an AMD 64? I heard it's a chalky compound that's harder to remove than well cured AS Ceramique.

[TheDude]

I'm having a problem getting the Mach2 evap head to meet the die on my a64/3.2 since the heatshield was removed. I took 2 of the 3 spacer washers out of the a64 install hardware, but it still does not give me an imprint of the die in my thermal paste. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you overcome it? I don't want to have to put the heat shield back on the die because of this. Would it hurt to remove the remaining rubber gasket and washer too?
Thanks

Have to dremel away at the bottom plastic piece. Lower the plastic that attaches to the mobo and the evap will reach the die. You may have to carve out some spots for mobo components to fit under.


OPP

[TheDude]

ouch....was hoping there was an easier way. Damn...what a pain.
Well thanks for the tip Eric...appreciate it. ;)

[OPPAINTER]

Yea I hardly have anything left on the bottom plastic, works for a good tight evap fit though, and yes it's a pain:D

[TheDude]

Was wondering how much you had to take off. Cut some....fit it. Cut some more....fit it...etc Can't wait....but it does have the advantage of a nice tight fit as you say. I may try grinding it down instead of cutting it off...until I get to having to notch it for stuff sticking up on the board. I guess it's worth it....everyone says the temps improve quite a bit with the shield off.

[Astennu]

I heard you will get a 7-9 c lower temp :)

if u gain 9C with the removal of the heatspreader, then i'll do the mod too :).

dont feal bad,i have the same problem right now on the gigabyte.excate same problem.
so i pulled it.i figure the board is screwed.


i have been out at the beach so i havent had anytime to work out the ovp mod on the chaintech either.i did get it working on the shuttle so i am pretty sure it will work on the chaintech and gigabyte.i just need some time to test.

and by the way...good clock there OPP.just i am worried even with the higher clock(which i am sure it is from the lower 512kb of cache.)that it wont run with the 3200 or newer 3400,i personally would like to have the 3400 with my ram that will run 1:1 up to 285 should scream.

[bowman1964]

Dude you get the rig running yet.?
you can always stick the spreader back on to play on it.i have stuck my spreader back on mine while i have been testing it is easier when you are taking the evap on and off a dozen times or so.

[TheDude]

I had it running on air into the bios. BTW HS/F for 64 coming your way. I picked up one.
Sooner or later I will have to trim the install kit down for permanent installation in the Mach2. I guess I could stick it back on and then do it when I'm not so pressed for time.
I had a hard time finding ram it would boot with consistently. It's a picky :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:.
If I put it back on, what should I glue it down with and should I put some Alumina in between the die and the spreader? I kind of have mixed feelings about that cause it adds another layer to the mix....maybe a real thin layer?

BTW: soldered the vcore mod back up.

just place a small dab of alumina or something on the die and press it down.then i lift to make sure it has full contact.and then repress it.the alumina will hold it down until the evap head can hold it.
you can use black silicone and apply a small amount around the spreader and the reapply it.wipe the excess silicone from around the chip and spreader.let it set a few hours with some pressure applied and it looks like the factory job.
it real easy.

[TheDude]

Good idea about letting the tgrease hold it down until I get the evap on it. That way I can trim it to fit later. I should have thought of that. Brain isn't firing on all cylinders right now. ;)
Thanks

Bowman,

Are talking about a 3000 chip or are you having the problem with the 3200 chip? I could have sworn I installed w2k with my 3200 chip on this mobo.

Maybe I need a different mobo :D Fricken pain.
And your right, the 3000 doesn't look to great as far as performance compared to a 3200 chip, it reminds me of a Celly vrs P4. Not enough cache, no action.

OPP

[enduracell]

I think that W2K needs to be slipstreamed with latest SP, as they don t support A64. Same goes for WinXP. (SP1 is need it) I m not sure though...

well no its not my chip,or not that i think so.i have 2 chips now,and a new 3400 on the way.
the gigabyte was working fine.i pulled it down to work on some mods with the shuttle and chaintech.the shuttle would give me super fsb speeds but its 3d proformance wasnt up to the gigabyte.even with only 3500 sandra scores the gigabyte will beat the shuttle that getting 4300 sandra at the same clock(or very close)
so i reset up the gigabyte.first i noticed i couldnt restore a ghost,keep telling me corrupt image so i tryed fresh install.
would load but keep saying was missing files.tried 3 differant w2pro disks.
so it was running perfect but now its gone.strange.
i could try another chip to see.i have a brown week 41 i have that will post 2950 mhz i didnt try that one.

come to think of it i was running the chip you sent me.but i think it is board related.i must of done something to the board.i may try on air and see as soon as i get another heatsink.right now i am out.

That's what Opp had to say about it.

I knew it would be less, but if it's really like the celly and P4, maybe the 3200+ is worth it.

If anyone could give me some 3dmark compares It'd really help.

I tried searching, but I couldn't find much on the orb.

Most reviews show a small difference say 5-10% in 3DMark scores, but the real difference will show up once the 64bitness arrives on the market

10% i can't believe that. you do realize with a great setup that could be around a 2500 point loss just cause of half the cache?

amd chips have never shown anywhere near willamete -> northwood gains when the cache is increased.

[STEvil]

5% loss possibly at more normal user settings.. 10% if you get nearer to 3ghz... maybe?
