prometheia results

[calantak]

this has been written in www.madshrimps.com -ohase change thread also, just wanted to share it with you

"owkay.
some of you might actually take interest in what I'm going to tell now

I've just been testing my prometheia after ten days of unused waiting

first mounting was a damn bore due to the fact that the mounting unit is actually imperfect...even the specific abit th7-II unit...the whole mounting procedure is quite lengthy anyway...

first run : no boot.

I decided to break the whole thing down and do it again.
second try went twice as fast leading to the conclusion that after five or six mounts you'll do this eyes closed.
second time around I put 7 spacers on each screw... beat me to that, quite some pressure on that cpu


second boot, easy into windows.

some results, screens will follow when I'm back home (in about a week)
room temp 27°C
idle evap temp : -42°C when booting wOOtwOOt

idle temp @ 2800 mhz with 1.78Volts : cpu temp on MBM : -17°prime stressed temp @ 2800 mhz and 1.78 volts :-7°C

I went straight into windows @16*186 ~3 ghz : that's a 90% overclock!
above that I get pagefaults... and I think it's the ram that's keeping me down... that pc800 can't do more than 186*3 = 558mhz... sisoft runs @ 186 : about 3950-4000!!!

i'll see what i'll get with the abit bd7-II with pc 3200...Should be able to reac a 100% overclock


only fact is that i'll really break down that ****ty case...and put another case on that one.


Maybe a moveback to amd would give me 2400 mhz...

But the p4 fun will last till after summer

I'm interested in these units. Almost had the good fortune of owning one of these a short time ago.

I didn't like the case much either.

Sweet OC Calantak, do you mind posting some CPU and Multimedia Benchies at those speeds?

Thx.

as the unit is now awaiting review @ madshrimps.com before it gets back to its rightful owner (me ), you'll need to have some patience. I'm back @ 3000 on air.
