Having fun with Dothan, Socket478 and AGP card

Slowly recovering from the Finnish Midsummer weekend and decided to try some Dothan benching again :D

There was a little bit of LN2 left in the bottle after The Stilt's P4 world record runs. Only couple of litres but I decided to give it a go.

The setup for the run was the usual:
M/B: ASUS P4C800-E + CT-479
CPU: Dothan 1.6GHz
RAM: Mushkin PC3500 2x256
PSU: OCZ 520W
VIDEO: ATI Radeon X800XTPE ES from Spring 2004
CPU COOLING: Chilly1's coppercontainer
GPU COOLING: R404/R23 cascade

Since there was only couple litres of LN2 I had to be quick :D

First a quick SuperPi 1M test:

3500 was a no go this time, might get there without the extra copperplate I used this time, also tweaking the CPU voltage might help. Anyways 3450 was ok.

Knowing that the CPU would do 3450 superpi I started w/ 3403 for 3D. First run was at 769/657 without memtweaks and it gave 8789.

Second run at 3403 and card at 786 MHz / 671 MHz:

For third run I tried 3450 CPU but it would crash halfway thru the test.
Fourth run was doing 3422 and 796/679 but it never finished since I ran out of LN2 :D

The card has done Mark05 at 817 core w/ the cascade. 679 w/ fast memtimings was running smoothly and there was probably some more left too. So there is some more point left but not sure if its enough for 10k. LN2 is a must for GPU but even then I'm not sure if it enough.
at 904/722 card clocks it would be a different story =)

Lookin good macci. Nice pics.
Can't wait to see what you can do with that agp card on ln2 :)

gg macci

i am sure you had a lot of fun from this :)

nice going macci, just free your mind on that chip and it will do what you want.

you don't like insulating?

ohh wel just a drive in bench wont do mutch harm:D

Simply :slobber: :slobber:

Nice run Macci. Hopefully with some tweaking next time u will get in the 21's. So close, just get it a little higher. Cant wait for 3500.

Really nice to see something from you, Macci.. It's been a long time :)

Yea and it will take atleast a month till I do overclocking again. Going for a 30-day Eurotrip tomorrow - first stop Roskilde! :D

21s Spi1M is not a problem, useing 11x would have done it I'm quite sure. Just went for max CPU speed and once that was found out did the 3D stuff. Like I said there was a very limited time on that bench session.

Masters: How do you think about Dothan vs FX55 or 57?:D

im not a master, but from the benchmarks people have been posting at futuremark, my dothan @ 2.4 and aiwx800xt is running neck and neck with the fx57's with x850xt's.

i run on xp with no tweaks at all. my gsb is 266 with 2 3 3 6 timmings and 545/570 on the vcard. here is my score: 31294

here is a one fx57:
30769

i've seen a couple of people post scores in the 31k-32.5k area's as well with some tweaks.

needless to say, im pretty happy with this 1.6ghz chip. it will do 2.55ghz with 2 3 3 6 @ 255 1:1. 32326 on the stock cooler with 1.44v. it may have been able to do that at stock vcore, but i did the u-wire mod and cant get my vcore below 1.44 now. :woot:

Guys, check this other threads on this forum too:My posts @ Dothan overclocking thread, first one with some not quite accurate statements, but others IMHO Ok! Resolving certain problems! Mods!

Quite a lot of stuff to read carefully, I know ... :)

Was wondering macci which gpu would do better on the dothan the x800xt pe or the x850xt pe?

Hey MACCI i am not sure i understand the 200FSB/ 800FSB thing, do ij ust set it at ddr 266 and 200FSB in the bios from the stock 533fsb setting???

i have a 730 and P4C800-E dfeluxe and the ct-479 adaptor, i can't clock much when i set the ram in sync with the fsb ie 1:1 150/150. so if i jump right up to 2.4ghx and 1:1 200/200 it should boot even though i can't get it to boot at 160/160, that is if the cpu can handle 2.4ghz right???

I have just built a 770 and P4P-800VM combo. Can someone advise if the BSEL 800FSB mod is what I need to do in order to get 800FSB? I am in a similar situation to the guy above in that 1:1 (or 3:4) I cannot get it to 200Mhz.
To confirm, the VM has no FSB adjustment, just multi in BIOS. I want to drop the multi and trick the board into booting at 800FSB. I just need to be sure it has been done and will not fry anything (in fact can we not do it via the CT-479 jumpers?)
Thanks

there is a good sticky in the intel section. it has alot of good info on PM overclocking. :toast:
