3dmark 5 gives much lower scores than 3dmark 3.
With my 64 bit 3200+ at 2450 it gives me 1 fps in the cpu balloon test. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

In case Wes is asleep, You'll find a hypertrasport ratio setting as 5x, 4x, 3x... So, if your clock is the stock 200mhz and your ratio is the stock 5x, you get a 1000mhz hypertransport bus. But, when you start raising the clock it raises the bus, which shouldn't go over 1000, so you reduce the ratio. At 4x, it will not reach 1000 again until the clock is at 250. To go higher on the clock, you'd go to 3x. Apparently the slower hypertransport doesn't hurt performance. I just did my 2nd cpu overclocking, on my A64 Winchester, and I feel so clever! It's just at a clock of 245 with memory set to 133 and hypertransport at 4x, pci and agp locked at 33 and 66. So, the cpu, having a 10x multiplier (locked above that), is at 2450 and hypertransport is at 980, and the memory is at (245/200) x 133 = 163, and it's pc2700 memory meant for 166. So everything's ok. It ran prime95 for 10 hours at 1.5 volts, but at the default volts it got errors early on, in the first round. I loaded AMD's cool'n'quiet driver and it said it was varying between 1.1 and 1.4 volts. But I know that if it ran hard at 1.4 volts it wouldn't make it through a round of prime95, and it does. I tried uninstalling the cool'n'quiet and tried prime95 at 1.4 volts, and it got errors quickly. So I would say that the cool'n'quiet display panel is wrong.

I must say previous overclocks on different machines had been easier. but once I am familiar with this setup it should be easier than the previous ones. -- Never go to bed mad.

I should have said 3x or 4x, but it reaaly depends on the bios as to how you do this. You need to get the link down to either 600 or 800 depending on how far you are going to overclock. I think Ed explained it pretty good. It's just that some baords let you set it via a 3x, 4x, or 5x multipler while others, like mine set to 400, 600, 800, etc. on mine for 3x I'd set it to 600 since that's how my bios does it, then if I raise the system clock to 233Mhz, the HT link will go from 600 to 3x233 (700). you can probably set yours to 800, and then when you raise the system bus to 266MHz the Ht data rate will only be overclocked to about 1066. Shouldn't be a problem. If it is then set your initial rate to 600, -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php Verizon server http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |
