Wtf... this nforce has to stop owning. I did nothing but rerun pifast after a reboot and check my score now...
KAIN : Please update with this score rather than the 60.88. The settings are the same. :)

Kain - no it didnt m8 :(.
Out of interest which version do you have? What colour are the cap near the cpu and what colour is the PCB? Ive seen 3 different versions now and heard about a 4th?!
Apparently theres one with black caps round the cpu, one with silver, both on a yellow abit pcb. Then you have one with purple caps round the cpu and one with red-brown caps round the cpu on a black pcb (only heard of and not seen this one).
No idea if it makes any difference, but im happy with mine so far (yellow pcb, black caps).
Cmon Sys - first AMD under 60 seconds plz :p.
PiLsY.
I'll check it later as I'm not near it right now, but I guess I just got a lucky free BIOS chip :D £6 free not bad hehe
Sys your result is online :D
As Pilsy said come on under 60secs!!!
So what happened the first time around? Was the memory not working correctly like you suspected?Quote:

At any rate... I don't think people will be saying nForce2 sucks for much longer if these are the kind of results people start getting.
Extremely nice score!!! :toast:
[edit]Just was looking at your score again sys... that is f$#cking awesome man. You are now up in the highly o/c'd P4 range and you aren't even pushing that hard. I can't wait to see you run with some better cooling. Again... :toast:[/edit]
Well, from the first bench to the 2nd, I installed new windows updates (including an AMD cpu windows driver patch). So I geuss that helped some. The memory is working correctly in dual channel though.Quote:

@sys.. :slobber: That is amazing!
I just can't wait to see what the GB DCDDR can do! :D
sub.
I guess the way it works is we manually enter our results into the database URL posted then post the proof here?
Yeah somethin like that ;)Quote:

Shaved .05 off! :P Same settings as above again, 2.08v on the core though and slightly cooler temps.

That's some mighty fine shootin there Tex http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/otn/wink/thumb.gif
Does the NForce two board have FSB adjustments over 200?
Edit:
Forget the silly FSB question. Amazing what a little reading will do:rolleyes:
hi guys, please i need direction how to ise hexus (how to set)
I believe you were wanting this? :) More results later today... gonna shoot for 211 x 12.5 (my max the board/cpu will allow).Quote:

Needed a 226w pelt to get there, and my power supply overloaded shortly after. Heheh :P

Pld m8 :).
Guess what - given up on intel :D. 2700+ and a prometia amd kit are on the way. Just need to decide which nforce board to get.
Looked at the price of the 3.06, and for that i could get the nforce, 2700+ and prometia kit with pocket change still left over.
Does the memory have to be paired? Ive not actually got 2 identical sticks. The closest I have is some generic winbond BH5 and some twinmos with twinmos branded winbond chips. The only others I have are mushkin 3200, hynix 3500 and corsair 3200c2. Any ideas if a combo of any of these will work ok?
PiLsY.
Pocket change = good.....
Well it just says "use memory of the same type for optimal performance" or something to that effect. So I would recommend using similar ram.Quote:

Good to hear of your switch! :)
Just wait until the next update of the PiFast page... it's not mine but I wish it was!!!
AMD + nFoce2 = "I'm not worthy!" :D
Someone else's other than mine!? And faster than 59.53? I must see this!Quote:

If only I could get my chip colder... I could do 211 x 12.5 = 2637mhz.... having trouble hitting that.. temps are way too high.
shush nawty boy :slapass: tis a secret :D
I'll have to let him share it with everyone. But I don't think he'd mind me at least confirming that yes... it's faster than 59 seconds. :eek:Quote:

And a done deal AMD2400 in Third place :)

Sorry Macci :( :D now imagine what Opps. 2.9G chip could
do in a Asus nForce2 Board :slobber:
Better still Someone get Opp. to send me his chip for free
as I have hit the limit on mine :(
Looks like you AMD Lovers with those new A7N8X's will
be kicking some INTEL AR$3 for a bit looking forward to what
others will get >2638mhz :)
Sorry guys, updated at last :D
Well the top is all change, keep on move guys!
I'll have that AMD score before the week is out :D
2-4-2-2 eh? I never thought to try 4 instead of 5. Maybe I should give that a whirl. Nice job! :)Quote:

It's a shame though that we can't use higher mults than 12.5x... and that means that OPPs chip would max out where yours did @ 2638mhz :\ Or if we can somehow get higher than 211mhz :\
I get 69.38secs with pifast and 49secs with superpi
specs:
XP1800+(tbred)@2230Mhz, Epox 8k5a2+, Twinmos PC3200 with winbond 5ns chips (223Mhz fsb turbo settings 2t)
