I'm mostly curious to see what the max stable core speed is for 3dmark with -50 or below cooling. Anyone wanna wager a guess? 4.4?
id say 4.5, probably more but the board is crapping out.
still working guys...
making runs at few speeds to compare...remember it's only 9700pro, 325/310 :D stock O/S, BIOS, low speed mem too!
very nice :D
can you bench it at 4ghz so we can compare it with a 3.2c@4ghz score?
4000
14 x 286 = 4000
3:2 DDR380
9700pro 325/310
19,259

I almost beat that score ;)
4100
14 x 286 = 4100
3:2 DDR390
9700pro 325/310
19,353

Strange....
tried benching at 5:4 and immediately goes black-screen when I push benchmark???
Isn't there something in IC7 BIOS for running 5:4??? SOme kind of setting that must be changed?? And NO I don't mean "5:4", lol.
C
do you have a 3.2c you can run at the same speed to compare them?
we could finally see how the prescott scales at high clockspeeds compared to the nw, thats what everybody is talking about but noone knows how it will scale actually.
EDIT: you mean some memory timing stuff?
I think a 1M L2 Northwood would be way faster than a Prescott in the lobby test...
Well that's it for the DI.
I guess time for a post-mortem here.
1) Note: Vcore Caps/Mosfets get REALLLLL hot.
2) Must find out why NO 5:4 benching :(
3) Time for HIPRO5 mods
4) Note: A64 is easier/faster
5) Max benchable 3D with my current DI setup, 4413 through Car Low
Note to self: Get hands on Cascade system!
I abso-freekin lutely guarantee that with a mobo that'll do 333, this chip can do 5gHz on a Cascade... I was ALMOST able to run CPU-Z or a Sandra at 4655mHz when my temp in BIOS was -17C
Reminder to self: FIND PHASE CHANGE SYSTEM!!!!
charlie, great stuff!
As for the 5:4, the IC7 boards dont boot at 5:4 if the memory settings are at "By Spd". Change them to 3,8,4,4 and see if it works.
Good luck! :)
Charlie, nice work so far. :toast:Quote:

Yes, those mosfet get really really hot. I have the MAX3 and PWM gets up to like 60C, I can smell the OTES rubber melt a little. You better put some serious cooling on them.
Cool the mosfets perhaps, maybe add a booster and/or load balancing wire?
thank you VERY much for this live review! :D
great stuff charlie! i wonder whether OPP is already slapping his cascade on a prescott, if you live near him ask him if you can use his cascade (think you need to get your stuff there though, from what i saw and heard that thing is anything from transportable, unless you load it on a pick up truck :D)
no praise to the presscot, nor tips for the mobo
lol ,cool the pwn ic! :D
maybe we'll need to phase-change cool the mosfets too ;)
Very very very nice results dude. Makes me wanna dry ice comp for some nice cooling action.
I reckon water chiller the mofsets :)
Nice work Charlie, shame you did not get a 17 multiplier.
Regards
Andy
GAH!
I just knew I should have stayed up later than 1am crawling the boards.
Damn fine work there charlie, just let me know if you plan on playing tonight, I don't have to work tomorrow.:D
lol
-o-hey dude lets go watch that new samurai movie
-[]-yeah, will be fun!
-x-nah dudes i cant, charlie is dipping his prescott into ln2 again tonight.
-o-who's charlie?
-[]-who's scott? :confused:
:ROTF:
LOL saaya, very niiicee.
Well Charlie, very nice results! Thanks for putting in the effort and showing us all.
