Prescott oc 2.8e @ 4.2 300fsb with r507

[wespwnzu]

macci, do you like your 2.8m0 better than your a64's? I was considering switching, but i dont need to or anything.

edit: I just got a prommy (or well im going to this morning, someone is dropping it off) and i want to know which one i will have more fun with, bcuz i can find an m0 for pretty cheap from a friend atm

[macci]

I beat u with my P4C800-D and 3.4C when I boot with a 200*17 and not a 201*17

Yes but you used Win2003
Whats the speed that it takes to hit 33sec in WinXP?

BioBlade, got any benchmarks to show us yet?

dont know, I think +45MHz

OK guys, this is not funny now

How come a prescott 2.8@3.57 is slower than a northy @3.2
What's happening here? Anyone care to give me a clue???

Yeah, get out of Sandra and try some other things...

Other things like what???
Didn't get any improvements in 3D Mark 2001
Just going to test 2003

like pifast, 3dmark...

I'm joking of course, try a sandra memory bench or superpi...

[jonta]

OK, its quite normal for the memory to be that fast at that FSB 1:1.

[jonta]

and the super_pifast though its not very fast

But then, I guess its not that bad for an air cooled system.

[kromosto]

super is same with my 2.6c @3.6 for sandra may be it needs a little more volt

[jonta]

super is same with my 2.6c @3.6 for sandra may be it needs a little more volt+

well, the memory is at stock voltage. Are you saying that if I add more voltage it will go faster???

Another thing though. I have the choice between 2.8; 2.8E; 3.2c; 3.2E and 3.4. I thought that the E versions will give me better results but I might be wrong. Is it the software that doesnt support the E vers. or they are just slower??
Shall I stick to my 3.2C??

Cheers

2.4a ... asin a 100FSB jobbie didnt think they went that fast

[macci]

2.4A = 2.4GHz Prescott 533FSB no HT.
Nice chip for 150€

[macci]

2003MHz Overclock


Mach2 R404 cooled, Vcore set to 1.6V from the BIOS (actual ~1.63V thanks to droop mod).

Spi 8M:

[crazyboyrs]

But itz not easy to control the temp,,,as i livin in Hot weather country

[Soulburner]

Very nice...just not enough to crack 29s though...

[macci]

Yea, 10-20MHz more would have done it.
My 2.8E did 29sec at 4492MHz (cascade, 321x14 5:4 2-2-2-5).

The 2.4A will get a cascade treatment in a day or two. Going to beat my A64 Spi 8M record w/ it The time to beat is 5m 19s

stop it now, your embarasing the rest of up thats rediculously fast.

dpa, nice clock on that 2.4

ITs possible that the chip just wont like very high Vcore (my 3.2C didn't load WinXP above 1.825V or so). Its also possible that your mobo NB is at the limits (did you have to do any mods to NB/mobo get it up there btw?).

I hear ya i didnt get into windows over 1,85 with my 2,4c
