32m Low Clock Challenge

[andre X_X]

just testing P35 for 10xx
only mild tweak, windows not tweaked much.... still have some mhz to cut, too bad i have to return the mobo

[coop]

Thanks Oldscarface. Amazing ram speed.

[Gautam]

Woot! One for the home team, 965 still lives. WTG oldscarface.

Entry 15.xx

Testing out the new board.... not used to running high mhz on rams ( for me lol ) ......

nice clocks! what bios settings did you use for commando ? i can't get any memory past 600-620+mhz stable with commando and 1001 bios

if you could provide the settings used with this template would appreciate it alot

Gautam, I believe this is for now the max for my system.
I have tried every tweak I know to get this result.
But for the 12,xx and 13,xx catagory it is still not enough but I will keep on trying.

Perhaps we can joint our forces to beat the P35-clan

eva2000 :
First off all I'am still using bios 0803 :
Which memdivider do you use?
And what is your mem voltage?
Memdivider 2/3 is absoluut the best for this board.
Memdivider 4/5 does not work propperly, but most P965 board have that problem.
But here are my settings from the bios, I hope it will help you.

Extreme Tweaker:
AI Tuning: Manual
CPU Frequency: boot with FSB 400Mhz, in windows with SetFSB to 420Mhz and apply, then to 439Mhz and apply.
DRAM Frequency: DDR2-800MHz (2:3 Divider) = 1200Mhz @ boot and 1317 @ FSB 439Mhz
PCI Express Frequency: 100
PCI Clock Synchronisation: 33.33
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU Vcore Voltage: 1,5875V

Asus C.G.I.: Disabled

Configure DRAM Timing by SPD: Disabled
- DRAM CAS# Latency: 5
- DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay: 5 => In windows with Memset I change the Write Delay to 4.
- DRAM RAS# Precharge: 5 => In windows with Memset I change it till 4
- DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge: 5
- DRAM Write Recovery Time: 5

Best 32M bencher we have here in our little country, klasse

14XX Category
ah.... soo close to you oldscareface.... too bad i have to return this memory..
im trying for 11xx category but my ram wont stable... my room is too hot, the spreader is getting warm...

Yeah indeed, so close.
I could be that if you make another run, you will have it.
Try to lower the tRFC to 21-23, that can make the difference.
(if you can keep the mems a little bit longer)

[andre X_X]

this is my entry for 15xx
not to good

[luihed]

Yeeessssss....... Finally made 12.xx under 3600mhz Probably not a big deal now with the P35 boards but Im still so happy .... It was on the first run too at this speed with this board and mems, just wanted to see how far Ill be to 13m lol.....

Abit IP35
Ballistix 8500.....


12.xx entry...

[Gautam]

Very very good run bro. Definitely the best I've seen on 7x 1:1.

[over@locker886]

Great

What is the max fsb for Abit?

[luihed]

Thanks .....

Gautam, THis run was using 5:6 divider not 1:1.... @ 1:1 I think my best was 13m08s, a couple of ticks slower than the 965-s..... This new divider is awesome cos its easy to run, I cant run the 4:5 divider on this board past 470fsb.....

Over@locker, highest I ran 32m is around 540fsb... my cpu has fsb wall at around 552fsb so I didnt really try to much after running 540fsb.... I think its my cpu thats limiting and not the board.... This boaord is pretty fast though cos I never had to use the PL on memset...

[luihed]

whoops

congrats on the sub 13m - sub 3600MHz luihed!
and thanks for the info on the IP35. after the death of my QuadGT i am up in the air of whether or not to buy another QuadGT to replace it and continue on my fight for sub 10m - sub 5GHz with the E6600 (AKA 555x9)...or if i should switch to the DFI 965-S...or if one of the new P35s is the right choice such as the IP35.

your comments on the 514x7 1:1 really have me thinking this IP35 isn't that far behind the 965-s and the QuadGT. my best on the QuadGT 514x7 1:1 is 13m 03.xxx so likely just a couple ticks faster than the 965-s which in turn is just a couple ticks faster than this IP35. the big advantage for the IP35 is the memory clocking ability and the FSB over the QuadGT...the 965-S is still a tough choice to turn down for my purpose. i should just buy all three and have a showdown but i have bought faaaaaar too many motherboards already this year

[luihed]

Thanks er and 3oh6....

I was surprised myself on how close this board was at 1:1 to the 965-s....my best with the 965-s was 13.06 with 4-4-3-4, but my normal time is 13.09 (4-4-4-4) at 514.3fsb (3600), with this board I was hitting 13.11 (4-4-4-4) but at only 3598mhz cos setfsb will never work on this board.....

Instead of buying 3 boards, just buy this and get 2 more sets of rams People say that at 500fsb+ this board is at 1333strap, thats bullsh!!t cos only 1066strap can run this fast.... Also like I said before, I never had to play with the performance level in memset cos its always at the lowest level possible .....

Funny thing is that run I did was just a test to see where this board is at lol.... You guys will do some damage with this board, I think in the right hands and using 4:5 divider 12.3x is possible......

Congrats luihed on your 12.xx.
