X1800XT benching with Dothan platform

[macci]

Haven't done any benching or tweaking or voltmodding in a while. Today I decided to give it all a go once again

Opened the ASUS P4GPL-X box I've had a while and turned the soldering iron on. After some soldering I had a nice Dothan platform with PCIe slot and needed voltage adjustments (Vdimm @ 3.3V, chipset voltmod). There happend to be a Dothan 740 installed on the CT-479 adapter so I decided to go with that and the default ASUS cooler, installed some good old KHX3200 BH5 for the DIMM-slots. And to make things even more interesting I slammed the X1800XT to the PCIe slot

Aircooled rig:


The CPU ain't the best clocker and does only a bit over 2.7G with this default aircooling so I started with somewhat safe setting of 2.7GHz (11x245, 2-2-2-5).

The FX57 system I have reaches only 9174Marks at 2.8GHz with default X1800XT clock so the Dothan seems to give a nice boost for Mark05.

Here is also a quick 3d2001 run I made with 2.7GHz CPU speed (RAM at 245 2-2-2-5) and bumped the card speed up to 712/841 for the Nature test (this was just enough to reach the 39k barrier).

475FPS Nature aircooled and I didn't even push it to the limits yet so its looking good. I noticed that the Nature score got a boost from upping the CPU and RAM and PCIe clock and was clearly faster than the Nature score I got with AMD platform.

I have another 740 and a 730 to play with and those should reach higher speeds. Watercooling or Dryice play is the next step.

UPDATE with DryIce:
