I just got a new A64 3200+

ADA3200AEP5AP
CAAMC 0341SPMW

It's brown, as you can see..

**Overlag** · 11-21-2003, 09:17 AM

oh yeah, my stepping code is somethin 0339, MPMW but the flash as blured out the rest....and i only took 1 picture! grrrrrr

**Kunaak** · 11-21-2003, 09:49 AM

Quad, I don't have a 9800 pro-I wish I did, but all I have are a 5900 and a ti4200 and then yesterday I picked up some 7 dollar ATI mach 64 PCI card.

so I got the Nvidia coverd

my CPU is a 0337 MPMW.
it did all the way to 2.52 on air, benchamarkable.
I just got this watercooling kit on monday.
it's pretty nice so far.
this weekend I will hook it up with my chiller and see what happens.

I am working on getting a NF3 but thats gonna take me alittle time, so for now, I'll do what I can with what I have

my goal is a 255+ 1:1 benchmark this weekend, and hopefully break my 23,888 score with my 5900 and get a new High score for it.

Damn everyone is buying them I feel like a fool LoL.

**QuadDamage** · 11-21-2003, 03:57 PM

Kunaak,

At least you have a chance to actually max out your chip/ram, at least your video won't hold you back and heck, i wish i had one of these FX cards (actually i have FX5600 but it's too slow) , so i could run my pc at higher speeds 24/7. Right now i'm being lazy still using MSI VIA board 24/7 and i'm not sure whether to pick up another NF3 board or wait a month or so for NF3 250 Pro...

But then i have a big problem... I can't stop benching! If i ordered a NF3 mobo i would have exactly everything i need to shoot for top of the ORB including cooling and now even more experience compared to what i knew a month and a half ago...

heck, i wish someone would just erase my memory and didn't even know 3DMark exists...

**CrashOv3r1De** · 11-21-2003, 04:20 PM

Well just scraped away all of my intel gear. Im preparing myself for A64 =)

Quad-

re-read this quote then tell me, whats stopping you??

all I can say is, if I was you, I'd have a NF3 tommorow

**QuadDamage** · 11-21-2003, 05:31 PM

well, i'm being a lucky SOB atm since i have some cash and i could afford an FX-51/mobo/ECC ram and even a video card just for benching, but... on the other hand, i already bought a cpu/mobo/ram/video card all top of the range stuff and i don't feel like i want to kill anything for 3D scores. Trust me, i've never regreted anything, even after i killed most of the system, but heck, today killing a video and chip = $1k down the drain just like that...

but then you never know, maybe i'll bench again soon

if you were going for top 10 which mobo would you choose? is there any good NF3 board we haven't tried yet?

**Kunaak** · 11-21-2003, 05:48 PM

I haven't seen anything from the Leadtek K8N Pro.
I know some will say why bother...
but then again 3 months ago, people were saying the same about chaintech and gigabyte.
so why not try the leadtek... thats my thinking.
so thats the board I am looking at soon.
I am way too unfamiliar with finding Vmods on my own so I am probably gonna let jason here take a look at the board before I get some benchmarking from it.

so as you may guess, I am sticking with my AMD 64.
the FX is just too much for me.

now, if I was going for a top ten shot, heres what I'd go for.

Asus SK8V-All Vmods done.
ATI 9800 XT-no weird brands, all Vmods.
OCZ 512 megs of ECC ram. (I just like trying things different then everyone else)
Seagate HD-as you suggest, as my 3 gig 128 cache 4200 RPM drive is too insanely slow for benchmarking

my cooling, R404 Prometeia some time soon.
R404 Vapochill for Videocard.
waterchiller for everything else.
dry ice on CPU possibly.

I have tons of cooling stuff, just I'd have to pull every trick in the book if I really wanted to compete with some of the scores around right now

I'd love to, just the price is just outta my league right now

**Overlag** · 11-21-2003, 07:59 PM

been trying to get 233fsb on my Asus K8V and it seems it doesnt change the dividers for AGP/PCI like it says on the MB, since the screen goes black when getting into windows, I can still play with it via sound lol....maybe WinVNC will allow me to navagate around my black screen issue... or i could put a Geforce 3 in, that likes 90ish fsb

**shortcircuit** · 11-22-2003, 03:44 AM

Last night I did the vcore mod on my k8nnxp, removed the IHS on my new A64, and mounted the prometia on it. Everything still works

but I really need a vmem mod for this board, I'm stuck using 3:2 for now. I haven't found the top mhz limit on this chip yet, I'm still trying to figure out the gigabyte board.

I picked up a promise fasttrak tx2000 ide raid controller which supports 33/66mhz pci... no hard drive problems at all.

**QuadDamage** · 11-22-2003, 05:07 AM

Jason,

how much for PCI IDE card? Is it expensive?

Kunaak,

thanks for input.

**shortcircuit** · 11-22-2003, 05:30 AM

I think I paid 120 euros for mine, but i've heard you can get the same card for $100 in the states.

**QuadDamage** · 11-22-2003, 07:51 AM

Thanks Shortcircuit. so it's not as expensive as i thought. Looks like i have to buy one of these.

**macci** · 11-22-2003, 08:21 AM

shortcircuit, can the gigabyte mobo run 3D at that FSB?
nice work

**shortcircuit** · 11-22-2003, 08:45 AM

I've been gaming for a while now at 8.5 x 300. Even the onboard sound works

I'll try some benchmarks in a minute...

I'm running the HT bus at +0.1v and 2X, by the way.

I can't get this chip stable over 2600mhz. I'm hoping it's only because it's new and I ran out of AS3 and had to use cheap white goop.

**shortcircuit** · 11-22-2003, 09:25 AM

I can finish 3dmark 2001 @ 300fsb

Can't wait till my 9800XT comes back from RMA

**macci** · 11-22-2003, 09:35 AM

very nice

**saaya** · 11-22-2003, 11:01 AM

sweeeeeet

**charlie** · 11-22-2003, 04:33 PM

Shortcircuit,
That's abso-freekin' lutely insane!. Now if you could just use the 9x or 9.5x you could have some SERIOUS CPU power...
9.5 x 294 = 2793mHz.....that'd be nice...
What's your DDR??

C

**QuadDamage** · 11-22-2003, 04:52 PM

i think OPP got his setup to run stable at 9x300. His setup runs pretty stable for sure as he even complained about "only 300fsb" limit in bios

not to mention he runs at 5:4, you do the maths but i think it runs close if not around 250mhz/500DDR.

wondering why he didn't update his score yet?

**Boogotop** · 12-07-2003, 07:47 AM

here my A64

**EmineM** · 12-08-2003, 01:51 AM

Very nice results you guys got there. I got a question though, is it true you cannot change the vcore on the SK8V?
The Albatron is supposed to be really good for oc'ing.

You can change the corevolt to 1.550 Volt, in bios is an extra 0.150 volt funktion. The max corevolt is then 1.700 volt.

With a voltmod you can gain max 2.10 volt
Past 2.06 mine voltage "flikker" and become unstable.
