Athlon XP 2600+ Mobile - new overall K7 platform WRs!!

[ryba]

Probably still few ppl think that I'm a AMD... don't know why, but ok I can be

Many ppl wanted do that... even more tried make it... but only I was able to make it just I LOVE IT!

Guys like Massman and MaSell (first letter is coincidence?) wanted break someday overall WRs on K7 platform. Pifast, SuperPI 1M/32M belong to SAE... for last 6 years? It was definitely too long. The same like before (my E6400 action) MaSell didn't want say: ok, now you are great... so I decied make this scores.

Benchrig:
Athlon XP 2600+ Mobile - almost "random" gem
Abit NF7 2.0 + Vdimm mod (2.8-5V ) + VTT mod + VDD mod
2x 256MB Infineon BH-6 sticks - as hell
some of my old cpu pot, rev.2 I think

There was really many problems with that achievment. First cpu "died" - lost L2 Cache and had only 64kb like Duron So I send it for RMA... yeah, RMA that old cpu was quiet funny, but I had new one with the same numbers so I could bench once again.

Next thing: Board. NB didn't scale with cold at all, but it like a lot voltage This mobo what I used at this bench is not perfect - problems with high FSB 1:1... I had some old NF7 with black slots, but short fight it died.

Memory: why 2x256 sticks than 2x512? Don't know, performence is better at the same clocks with 2x256... and ofc then they can make more MHz than 2x512. There was no difference what sticks I used, I had a lot of them and all had the same wall on that board.





Sorry, but new CPU-Z have problem with that platform and all high scores are "red".







About scores... when I have FSB limit I need to fight on CPU freq. Still there is some room left with 32M score and I can make 10-15s faster run. And with FSB265 there is a chance to make sub 30 in 1M But not now at all.

Ohhh, and one thing for the (happy)end... waiting 30 minutes for 32M was disaster for me when I was waiting for it I could go to toilet without any problems or even I cleaned a little bit my benchroom

So what will be next? MaSell want see some K6 WR... but I told him that not that good as he, so he can take it as well. C'ya

That's amazing! Congratz ryba!!!
Old-Skool hardware =

[SoF]

awesome oldschool action!!!

[Lastviking]

Gratz!!

I may not like that you did this with a Abit board and not a Dfi board...so maybe i need to fix that "if i can get some more time over..."

But long live Abit...they are abit missed

[DEVIL K-ce]

How many xp-m's You test before get this one ?

[ryba]

This was second, came from RMA, first lost cache and go there I think this second one is ~100MHz better than first.

[amdsempron_xs]

Really good old stuff

Congrats

[EnJoY]

Haha, awesome throw back Ryba! I miss those chips/boards.

What BIOS are you running? I remember tic-tac and merlin had some truly awesome BIOS' for those boards that you may want to try if you can find them.

Also, is this one of the original NF7-S's with the metal socket latch?

[mindwreck]

old hardware FTW. brings back memories. back when upping the voltage solved everything, til it died..

[FlanK3r]

perfect Ryba! Im looking forward for new WR with K6 and superpi 32M run or wprime 1024M :-D

[CryptiK]

Wow, this is awesome, I loved my old 2400 XP-M Really nice scores man, and you got lucky on that RMA! Imagine the AMD RMA guys faces getting that old cpu back lol.

[Turrican]

awesome work bro

[Krelin]

'gratz! Nice to see some sweet scores with my all-time favorite platform. :> Btw, can You tell a little bit more about the VDimm mod?

[ryba]

+5V rail to PWM and VR simple

[loopy83]

Very nice oldschool action!!!
Nice to see this platofrm on those clocks...

[Tomasis]

love your scores

i still have nf-7, tnt2 I think I could learn some things from your oc :p

5volt mem? holy ...

cool that rma works for that old cpu. is it the best cpu for aircooling too?

[SAE]

Big gratz, mate, like I already said on msn.

If I had these good temps back then... oh, what would have been possible with my gem dfi lp u b board (1 out of 7 tested)!
Amazing what extreme cold can get ya with appropriate pieces of hw and skill.

[FatAlbert]

very nice ryba!

30 minutes for 32m

I'm waiting for sub30 1m and for more wr and polish traditionally 16m.

[aslanwas]

very very congratz on that skores, wis this old sukuul Hartware

[-Acid-]

i still have my mxp 2600, An7 and geil one bh5 2x 512mb all tucked away in a box for a later date of benching

never got around to making the clampdown for my modded vapochill ls (its all tucked away too, maybe SB will bring back phase cooling).

I had mine @2944 on water fine
Masterchord and i were benching for max mhz, i was winning too untill he went phase and was 3400mhz + stable

maybe i should dig it out again and see if i can finally take the mxp records

keep it up Ryba !!!


edit dug up the thread of old its only 6 years old now !!!!

very nice, very nice!

shame about the board maxing out that early on the memory, there's still a lot of potential left! time to go board huntin' i guess

Epic thread, I don't know how I've been missing this
