ABIT AW9D-MAX + CellShock PC8000 = Starting the WRs?...
Well.......I played a little with the ABIT IC7 mobo.....Errrr.....AW9D-MAX I meanAND with a pair of 1GB Ram modules > Cell Shock PC8000....
FIRSTLY I must say some observations about the Ram Modules....I think they suck big time......They couldn't even do 525MHz (1050MHz DDR) at Cas 3 - 3 - 3 - 1......
Joking of course.....
SO......Let the WRs begin......
Is this a WR?.......Rams = 2 x 1GB Cell Shock @ 519MHz (1038MHz DDR) benchable?....
Cpu-z Validate: HIT ME HARD......
Some Everest......
Don't look at Memset timmings.......I was going to hit Rams' limit that's why they are "loose".....
ABIT AW9D-MAX "stands" right and "tough" too......ROCK SOLID up to the very last MHz......
I couldn't do more than 460MHz fsb with CPU:Ram = 1:1 cuz of ABIT's issue - for the time been - ......I hope that they'll solve it with a newer bios though........458MHz fsb came VERY EASY but 459MHz = NO GO......Waiting for newer bios to come out so as to get the 500MHz fsb out of the 975X chipset.....
At 458MHz and 1:1 I was 3-3-3-1 easy......
NOW......Please DON'T ask about Memory Voltage!......I MUST upload a video some time cuz with the Cell Shock Ram Modules we are getting crazy.....
Vdimm was provided by DDR Maximizer of course and it was 3.4Volts.......YES you read well.......3.4Vdimm and the ram modules "asked" for MORE......Shi(f)t.....It's the first time of my life that I scared THAT much.....!....
The config:
Motherboard = ABIT AW0D-MAX
Ram Modules = Cell Shock PC8000
PSU = Zippy 700Watts
VGA = ATI X1900XTX
EXTRAS = DDR Maximizer for Vdimm
HD = Western Digital 80GB PATA
EDIT: The voltages that used were > VMCH = 2.1Volts, Vfsb/VCCA = 1.7Volts, Vdimm - 3.4Volts ....
Swiftech heatsink with a Delta fan 4 x 4mm 10000rpms for the Northbridge and default heatsink for the CPU.....
I would like to congratulate ABIT for this ROCK SOLID mobo they built......IC7's time IS BACK.....
I ALSO would like to congratulate MSC company for the Cell Shock Ram modules......BH-5's time IS BACK....
Stay tuned.......TO BE CONTINUED......
