Conroe 2.4Ghz on 965G mobo, brief test...

[integral]

If it supports Conroe, they will surely have a major problem with XS members and the lifetime warranty

[illidan]

I've just finished reading this thread from beggining.... one word VW... AMAZING!!!

can't wait fall 2006

[[XC] hipno650]

must save my money. how about some pcmark 05 for some crazy mutitasking benching.

[Iconyu]

Only if you buy that board and don't have a server case with room for 2 PSUs. Rest assured, that won't be a "standard" for Conroe boards, but certainly could be handy for using 2 smaller/cheaper PSUs to OC a big system with top end CF cards

The first Coolermaster Stacker supports two PSU's and is BTX compatible so if you're considering this mobo for a future Conroe purchase maybe that would suit you well, its got very good air flow and loads of room.

Try 1Gx2 RAM

send me ur 1g*2 fat D9s

[alpha0ne]

This ALBATRON board looks sweet !
These features should help alot in OC. Good job ALBATRON who would have thought.
I hope someone gets this board in XS too see the real POWA of Conroe...

Why did'nt they send VW one

Going by albatrons past record with "performance" boards and backup I'll only ever believe it when I see it, and if albatron are coming out with such boards I am sure more reputable/XS orientated manufacturers will have far superior products with a warrantee you can believe in, not just some PR marketing BS

And yes, I am biased after being stung badly by albatron in the past, their tech support was nothing short of laughable

Just wondering. Howcome my A64 3000 Venice does better WinRar than Conroe?

It's because your processor is heavily OCed.
All Conroe benchies by VW so far have been at stock speed.

*The Multithreaded score of the Conroe is way way better than yours btw

nice thread crap, noob.

You keep your 3000+ we will all go with conroe's.

Thats a little harsh, its a valid question and perhaps worth investigating what are the main influences in that particular benchmark to help understand how it performs on the different platforms.

Or you could just flame him, flaming is easier I guess.

As for the Venice getting higher single threaded results, I'd guess its going to come down to the higher CPU clock, FSB and tight memory timings due to overclocking, I'm not familiar with the test so don't know what its most dependant on.

Some Cinebench 9.5 and WinRAR comparation with a X2 (mine ) @2.4ghz and @2.6ghz :

Cinebench 9.5:

Conroe 2.4ghz 738
X2 @2.4ghz: 669
X2 @2.6ghz: 727

WinRAR 3.6:

Conroe 2.4ghz: 1120
X2 @2.4ghz: 1168
X2 @2.6ghz: 1253


About ScienceMark, I haven't the unofficial binaries used lately by VW. So, with the official ScienceMark 2.0, this is the comparation:

Conroe 2.4ghz: 1308.9
X2 @2.4ghz: 1322.99


VW, can you run 7-zip v4.32 built-in benchmark?
7-zip download here if you haven't it http://www.7-zip.org

[Donni]

Conroe 2.4ghz: 1308.9=1551
X2 @2.4ghz: 1322.99

look :

[PetNorth]

like I said, that lately SM result is with some unofficial binaries (I haven't them, and I don't know if they are available for download, at least, I've not found them). With the official ScienceMark 2.0 (the available version in www.sciencemark.org), it's 1308.9 for Conroe

[alpha0ne]

look :

LOOK, still no match for Conroe clock for clock though

[agenda2005]

I love that Molecular Dynamics Score! Conroe is definitely a must. God Willing.

[JumpingJack]

LOOK, still no match for Conroe clock for clock though

It would be nice to see the Opty score clocked at 2.4 G to see how it is scaling.

[Nasgul]

Fellas, why don't we just wait and see (from 2.4ghz) Conroe @ 3.0ghz+ and see how well the annihilation goes?

Now, let's just look at a Pentium D 920 overclocked to 4.02ghz which is common for this CPU to reach that speed and a Pentium D 955XE overclocked to 4.37ghz which is also common againts an X2 3800+ overclocked at 2.59ghz and the FX60 overclocked at 2.90ghz....shall well? Well, let's see it!.

Amazing that Conroe is scoring all that in a semi-buggy board. Can't wait to see what ASUS will pull......


Victor, that Tuniq Tower 120 will be my choice for when overclocking my future Conore, I'm cheap so I won't be buying the Swiftech WC kit after all, look: Ambient temp is 35f.



Just like to know how the heck I can control the Vc, it's all over the place even though I have it set to 1.4500.

[SluRRR]

Forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered, but has the April 4 BIOS release (908) been tested with a Conroe on a current D975XBX?

[K.I.T.T.]

hey nasgul, how did you get that manufactured and supported by thing?

[savantu]

Forgive me if this question has already been asked and answered, but has the April 4 BIOS release (908) been tested with a Conroe on a current D975XBX?

I don't think the testers have this board , maybe Fugger could get one easily but he is very absent these days.

Anyway , you need a revision 304 board to work with Conroe in the first place IIRC.

[SluRRR]

I think you are right, but I am ever the optimist.

[Thorburn]

D975XBX needs a new PCB revision, a BIOS update WILL NOT provide Conroe support for existing PCB's

[luf1c3r]

Ana asks. Do you believe that the motherboards will come out for July, before the conroe?

Greetings luf1c3r

[RimRam]

nice thread crap, noob.

You keep your 3000+ we will all go with conroe's.

why do some of you are so sensitive and then get ugly?
call me noob or whatever you wish, I am just as interested as you (Intel disciple). By no means I am interested in any flame. take it somewhere else please.

Edit: I reduced the speed to 2.4ghz (A64 3000) and loosen timings to 3-5-5-10
and get WinRar = 684
WinRar multithreading gives same results since I dont have dual core.
This is not a flame. More than anything, I am interested in price/performance for my next upgrade, be it Intel or AMD.

[iboomalot]

I think WinRar is more ram related to a point.


my Dual core in single thread is only 647 with the CPU and Ram at 250*10 and 3-4-4 timings.

your ram is flying at 300 mhz which is making up for my 100 mhz advantage in CPU and slighly better timings.
