Conroe 2.4Ghz on 965G mobo, brief test...

[VictorWang]

VW,
I have a sluggish 200GB Samsung SATA with 8MB (SP2004C), it's not the fastest HDD out there.

Different versions of WinRAR would explain but mine is also version 3.51.

ram timings....


conroe's performance must be higher than Yonah.
Yonah @ 238*13, ram DDR79x 4-3-2-8 , scores=744.
so... Conroe 2.4G maybe about 700 equals to 2.8G Yonah

yeah conroe = merom......so should beat yonah

Please try Winrar 3.60beta. Version 3.51 isn't multitreaded. Some results for comparation:
P4 2.4c@
2Ghz 1Gb ram@414 => 326KB/s
3.11Ghz 1Gb ram@518 => 413KB/s
Winrar 3.6beta
P4 2.4c@
2Ghz 1Gb ram@414 => 471KB/s (387 HT OFF)
3.11Ghz 1Gb ram@518 => 619KB/s (494 HT OFF)

It's interesting that performance does scale on multithreading (around 20%) but not on speed (at least on my CPU). Or maybe higher ram timings are the problem.

with the cpu-z verification, there's no denying it..
conroe is simply going to own..

[iboomalot]

I am surprised your 32M is slower than mine if 1M is that much quicker.

Its due to the large Cache on the smaller runs like 1M

[Vassili]

Well I think Asus and Abit are much better then DFI overall. Atleast they do the tests in the Lab and not on/with us the enthusiasts. As mentioned above one should stay away from DFI for Conroe for 3-4 months as they may get a new revision with much lesser Bugs :p

Don't blow up the problems. DFI has alot good products.

Hoho that's really nice Vic!

[HousERaT]

Can't wait to see what 3DMark01SE looks like. These Conroes are gonna be hard to beat. Thanks again for all the info Victor.

Nice results! By looking at scores, it seems that Conroe will be twice as fast as my Nordwood rig in single thread programs (and usually a Nordwood CPU is faster than a Prescott one). Also it seems that WinRAR test is ram timings dependent. I tested my sistem at the same speed with worse and good timings and I noticed 8-10% improvements. Probably a Conroe with ddr2 800 and good timings will do much better in this test.

so far in SuperPi Conroe is kicking tail which Intel shines at
Cinebench95 Conroe is doing well matching my 4400+ at 2.68 ghz \
Winrar is a bit closer with the 4400+ needing 2.56 ghz

granted the above is done at crap timings 3-4-4 will revise once my OCZ-EB arrives on thursday. Need to RMA my redline too


Either way if Conroe's 2.4 ghz can OC to 3.0ghz on water for 316.00 , could be very tempting to change.

The results may raise a little when programs will know Conroe optimizations. Remember that there is no compiler (as far as I know) supporting Conroe while almost all compilers know AMD 64 or P4 optimizations (not only 64bits code).

Thank you very much--makes the future look pretty bright!

[Xptweaker]

Vic could u try to overclock the Conroe ?

more than 3 Ghz would be

If you read the whole thread you will know why it isn't clocked
To make it easier for you I can say there's no options in bios and there's no software to raise fsb.

[breakfromyou]

Dell motherboard hahaha. nice one.

[integral]

I believe this mobo will be highly interesting. It might support Conroe:

Nice finding, hope Vic can get his dirty hands on it now ! :P

Two 24-pin connectors

[vanovich]

im asking myself . why didnt they send one to fugger or someone here .than we can confirm for sure if it sapports conroe . and its oc capeability. then we can really see what conroe is when oc .

I'll have to keep my eye out for that board. Thanks!

[ORCBEAST]

This ALBATRON board looks sweet !

The company said that an Intel Pentium 4 3.40GHz processor can be overclocked up to 4250MHz using air cooling on the new Albatron PX975X mainboard, whereas the same chip on a typical platform runs hot at about 3910MHz when overclocked

Two 24-pin EPS12V connectors, which enable delivery of up to 450 Watts on motherboard alone, just for your overclocking pleasure. If CrossFire or SLI - via that leaked ULi patch - are used, the consumption of the power grows to unbelievable levels, we were told.

In order to be able to support two PSU's, company waved goodbye to old way of regulation power, so the PLL circuitry is gone for good. Digital clock regulates every rail of power.

These features should help alot in OC. Good job ALBATRON who would have thought.
I hope someone gets this board in XS too see the real POWA of Conroe...

Dual power supplies? Will we all need new cases?

[kone]

Try 1Gx2 RAM

[boostedevo]

Dual power supplies? Will we all need new cases?

Only if you buy that board and don't have a server case with room for 2 PSUs. Rest assured, that won't be a "standard" for Conroe boards, but certainly could be handy for using 2 smaller/cheaper PSUs to OC a big system with top end CF cards
