4600+ & 4000+ AM2 on stock cooling

[JuanFlaiter]

I dropped that P.O.S. Asus M2N32SLI and installed an Epox board I just recieved. Nothing too Xtreme but as there are no "cheap" AM2 results, I´ll post mine. I got this board just an hour ago so there still much tweaking to do

AMD Athlon64 X2 4600+
2400mhz (12x200) 2x512kb L2

Rig
Epox MF570SLI nForce570 (Thanks Epox)
PIB Cooler FX-62 (2 Heatpipes)
2x Corsair XMS2-8500
Geforce 7800GTX
Seagate 80gb SATA
Antec TrueControl 2.0

Now some tighter timings

SuperPi 32M

Dual SuperPi 2M



3DMark06



3DMark05



AMD Athlon64 X2 4000+
2000mhz (10x200) 2x1MB L2

I know the memory frequency is pretty lame, I don´t have time to play with this modules yet and have lot to do
That is why probably the SuperPi scores are low, with a little time it should improve, it is just to show this CPU scales really nice and for it´s price it can be pretty interesting.

Intresting...

You might need to change some of your secondary timings,

I get 32.xx times @ 2750 ddr400 2-2-2-5

I have a 1mb l2 cache chip though

[thunderstruck!]

Those are very high latencies for 375Mhz. I suggest you read up on DDR2 if it's your first time.

[JuanFlaiter]

I´m not very familiar with DDR2 and definitely nothing with this modules... I want to find the CPUs sweet spot first and then I´ll start playing with the memory.

Anyways I´m finding a really weird problem. Anything higher than this overclock, neverminding the voltage I won´t go in Windows, and it doesnt crash or freeze it just goes loading for ever... Maybe is my Win install that is really messed up, I´ll install it again later. Now I´ll try clockgen.

[Eldonko]

32M please sir

[Sucka]

Seems like bad PI at 3GHz doesn't it?

[ZX7891]

finally some 1T action too

[JuanFlaiter]

Sorry for the loose latencies guys... me <- DDR2 noob

I´m at the same frequency but 4-3-3-3 now. I´ll be running 32M soon, please be patient

[Eldonko]

Whoot How are the mem tweeking options for the Epox?

[fhpchris]

Here is What Alonso is using:

667 3-3-2-8
800 3-4-3-8
1000 4-5-4-12
1066 5-5-4-15

all @ 2,2V

1104 5-5-5-15 (2,3V)

memtest stable (5 loops) @ P5WD2

Me toooooo! Epox is usually a great (but under-rated) product?

[JuanFlaiter]

Here is What Alonso is using:

Thank you Chris!

Now I´m running 3-3-3-7-11 that is as tight as I can go (and the BIOS handles). There are plenty of memory tweak options (probably as many than in Ultra-D board), and this is a really really friendly board. Up to 2.4vDimm and +0.3vCore, I´m loving it.

Now I´ll go to the tests

Updated! Still testing, stay tuned xD

[ludeboy12]

oh nice....definitly think i'll keep an eye on this thread

Thats alot faster than 4-4-4-12 xD

in the last pics of dual super pi, why are the windows different?
one is using the xp theme while the other is using the classic theme

[fhpchris]

ROFL 32.5 ->29.3 1m

I´m closing some processes and explorer.exe, when I opened it back a wierd bug happened and it only "loaded" WinXP default theme in one of the windows

[Cpt Twitchy]

I wonder how much further 3-2-2-X would get him. Aswoemse reults and you got me watching.

[Pyr0]

awesome cpu score in 3dmark, what are the temps like at 3ghz?

[fhpchris]

The only other thing I can suggest is:

Everest for Latency

I'd say he has alot of work to do yet cuz his 3D mark and superpi scores are very bad,




And thats me only running at 250x10 with also 2x512Kb cache X2, memtimings are 2.5-4-4-8@1:1 divider.

[Absolute_0]

Yeah i was going to ask if there's something wrong with the 3dmark scores cuz i'm not clocked much higher and i get 10,500 in 2k5 and 5,800 in 2k6.

[Cappie]

I'd say you have a problem then as well Absolute, cuz I beat your scores with my seriously underclocked manchester:LOL: Normally with that CPU speed you would beat my scores regardless if I have a 7900GTX or not. My GTX is not even overclocked.

[Absolute_0]

Well 3dmark05/06 are way more GPU bound than CPU bound and my monster CPU doesn't make that much difference.

Plus i run with no tweaks/optimizations whatsoever

Thinking of Juan's scores though, they should still be a little higher, although i think we're all just using different drivers.

[Cappie]

Your CPU should make a diff cuz I cannot saturate my PCI-e speed with my CPU speed, the more CPU gigs you got the better your GPU scores should be, I might be using only 60% of full potential of my card while you at 3Ghz might be using like 90% or whatever(just hypothetical numbers ofcourse).

And I don't use any tweaks whatsoever either.
