$90 CPU doing 3700Mhz

The Intel Celeron 2g, the best bang for the buck. The thing Overclocks Incredibly but it sucks at 3D Mark :D

Dang! A Celly @ 3.7Ghz must almost be able to run Solitaire & Minesweeper at a decent speed! ;)

Very nice overclock OPP, could you give us some benchies at that speed too? :toast:

Celerons SUCK for anything 3d... They are okay for applications that stream data and dont need much l2 cache, like DIVX encoding, mp3 encoding, or anything like that.

I was just going to PM you this:D The thing did like 3300 Mhz at 1.6 Volts. It has hit a block though, I should shove 2 Volts into this puppy and see if it will go higher:D

hell of alot better then spending $700 on a 3.06 to get 3.7ghz :D i might just change my mind about the agoia 1600+ i was going to use for the folding rig :D

Dam mine only gets 3200 on air, is that in your prometeia opp?? What were your 3dmark scores with it??

Only reason i bought one was it was $59 on intels IPD. . I have a 2.1 also and a 2.2 on the way. The 2.1 is sold in a rig @ 3ghz. I made a killing.

And as far as sucking. They do fold@home just as fast as p4's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! @ my same 3200mhz on a P4, i tested it. ,

I do lose almost 4.5 to 5k in 3dmark. compared to a p4 @ the same speed.

But still What chip can you get for $60-90 that will let you hit over 13k in 3dmark, my 9700 pro of course. CPU on air and just a factory intel heat sink.

And opp can you please put that celeron to work folding. You havnt turned any work unit's in, in a while??

We are trying to pass 2cpu.com soon. and your dog celeron would be very handy, mines doing very good folding.

Just trying to get you motivated. No shots at you intended!!!!!!!!!!!! I recruit for our folding team everywhere, and keep an eye on everyone in case they slip a bit.

But you have this in your sig. So come on!!!!!

You can get a 48 dollar xp1600 from newegg and get 13k in 3dmark. Thats what other chip can do it.:)

Was gonna say the same, Umgawa :)

Nice, OC OPP ;)

I wonder how a 3.2ghz celeron folds compared to say a 2ghz axp. Perhaps the celery is a better buy than a lower-clocked xp for a folding rig? :D

Hey OPP, that MM bench looks kindda.. hmmmm........ not real......

Well..... 39xxx on the CPU/MM..... that looks really sky high.... but If we compare it to 2.8G HyperT results.... it's like 3x higher.... :stick:

Could you post some numbers or screenshots? I've heard some conflicting reports about this. Some people are saying that with the new gromacs core cache starts to matter a lot more.

I'll post some after xmas is over. I havnt tried it on Gromacs, since no one has seen any in 2 weeks.

And unless people are on the beta team they shouldnt be folding any gromacs.

But i'll get you something to compare soon

what kind of cooling are u using and what is your vcore??? As u can see in my sig i have mine to 2.8 but i have shotty ram and cant get any higher. just ordered some corsair xms 2400, a swiftech mcx-4000, a vantech tornado 80mm 84.1 cfm fan and some arctic silver 3. im hoping to well over the 3.0 mark....maybe with a few pointers from the celeron master ....lol maybe i can get close to 3.5????!!??!

Thanks for posting that screenshot Tedinde

Wow, that thing is really cooking :D

I just checked and I'm crunching the same protein right now, so here is my Athlon XP @ just over 1700MHz (12 X 143) for comparison:
