Asus P4C800 + Pentium4 2.8C 800

[Raptor]

Here are some results with a "ghetto watercooling system"...





ps: i'm loving it!

[FUGGER]

After playing with the P4C800 and the IC7, I think the P4C800 is a stronger board.

Nice results, memory bandwidth is up there where it is supposed to be.

[JCviggen]

They're nice chips these 2.8's.

playing with one myself and boy am I enjoying it. Its like the P4 gets a whole new life when you stick it on a Canterwood

[Raptor]

i'm going to try a IC7 this weekend for my website... let's see wich one is the best!

[JCviggen]

I swore i'd stay away from ASSus a while ago and i'm sticking to it
So far I havent found the limit yet on my IC7, but I believe 3D benching to be no problem at 290 FSB

Looks to me that you still have a lot of tweaking to do.IC7+2.6C.Twinmos PC3700 2.8v.Im running a higher fsb than you but much slacker timings and yet even with a lower clock speed my rig is faster.All air cooled btw...







Buffered and Unbuffered

[Raptor]

it's a "lot" higher FSB m8...

i really love these scores!

[zakelwe]

I was testing my new 3Ghz P4 tonight and it also is very good :-



that's on air at 1.7v.

Nice job, Raptor!

Oh c'mon, FUGGER...you can't leave us hangin' like that.

Care to elaborate on that statement?

[FUGGER]

Setting both mobos to the same settings and same speed. The P4C800 will score a buffered sandra of 4.9k and the IC7 will produce a 4.7k at best.

I had to volt mod the IC7 to break 3k sandra unbuffered.

Interesting. Are there also those differences in other benches (3DMark, games, etc)? I don't mind a Sandra anamoly, cuz I don't care all that much about Sandra, but if the difference is across the board, that's another thing.

[JeffPH]

nice oc

[Blue078]

Raptor is 3.6Ghz the highest stable OC you've obtained??

[Raptor]

stable, yes...

I can do screenshots at 3.7GHz... but what's the point!

Still waiting for a part to adapt the Kryotech for Socket 478...

[Ewok]

what voltages can you have on the asus for mem and cpu? asus are usually very poor when it comes to allowing voltage changes.

2.85 for mem and new bios allows 1.95, though I just use 1.7v.

[Ewok]

lol 2.85 for mem, typical pathetic asus. ill go with the MSI.

what amazes me is they give you a paltry 2.85 for mem when mem can be run at like 3.2 without dying, yet they give you 1.9 for cpu when even 1.7 has killed some p4's. That demonstrates a lack of knowledge to me else they would give you much more for the memory not just the cpu.

[charlie]

Ewok,
You got dat' right. This would be reason #1 why I'm not keeping my IC7...MSI at least gives a sh*t about us overclockers.

[zakelwe]

True Ewok, I wouldn't want to put 1.9v through and would rather have more memory voltage as at present I have to run 5:4 3750Mhz because my memory will not do 250 with 2-5-2-2. I might try 2-5-3-2 as I think Zroc and others have said this does have a big impact, but does let you go a lot higher.

I wonder why the MSI lets you put in over 2v on the processor, is anyone going to use that much ? I thought with Intel cpu's they are not receptive to big voltages, unlike AMD ?

Andy ( Intel noob! )

Where can I find a vmod guide for the P4C800 ????

[Chicago Jenny]

Is that with air cooling?

Duh....Wow, I was thinking the 2.4C but a 3.7GHz and a 1GHz bus would e pretty cool.

Just finished adapting my Kryotech R404a to my system, and installed my new Hercules R9800Pro... got this for my first score:

23210Marks...

not bad, i believe!

[Major]

Way to go Raptor, great score. How do you like the Hercules ? what mods have you done to it ?
