My last P4 cpu results.....

[Nex321]

And so yesterday I was able to test my last P4 cpu which is 3.4c.

I was able to get over 13000 in 3dMark03 when the cpu was overclocked to 4017 mhz (its all on air)

13198 points


Stress test: 84 Fps on max settings on res 1600x1200

I say goodbye to P4 and welcome A64

Next week I'll tell you the results of my new A64 3000+ S939, my plan is to OC it to atleast 2.8 ghz

P.S P4 got canceled

666 your the devil !

Pentium 4 didn't get canceled, just their new line of them was.

are you getting a 90nm part? and 2.8, damn. hope you got a good water cooling setup or something better.

Yes its 90nm, and I got extreme air cooling

You see, I belive in air

Thermaright XP-120+YS Tech 120mm fan on max speed+AS5= under 40c under load when overclocked to 4017 mhz

You should test using a real game like UT2004 demo.
3Dmark series really doesn't tell you about the system as much as it does about the GFX card. Basicly 'watered-down' results except for the GFX card.

I can't touch the cpu since its not mine anymore :stare:


I should be able to reach 2.6 ghz and up with pc4000 memory, right?

Depends how far the CPU,board and memory will let you increase the base clock. 90nm 3000+ (S939) use a multiplyer of 9 (9x200=1800MHz) so you would need to get the base clock to 289 to reach 2.6GHz (289x9=2601MHz).

You have a good chance to get up around there and hit that speed.

My Ram is ADATA pc4000. Is that 289 fsb or something else? How am I supposed to get (if it is fsb) 289 with pc4000 ram? I think the highest is 273 for this ram but I might be wrong.

 

[Nex321]

wait, I just saw that there is ADATA pc4000 thats toping at 260 fsb but thats not mine, mine is ADATA Vitesta pc4000 thats toping at 275 fsb. Just wanted to say that

Edit: looks like it tops at 295 when the "the 2T command" is turned on

You can set the memory to run slower (by ratio) than the base clock. If you set the memory ratio to 5:6 (might be listed as 166MHz or DDR333 instead) and you managed to OC to 289 then the memory would run at 241MHz. It would still give you 2.6GHz (289*9) for the CPU speed if the CPU and Board allow you to reach that high.

AMD doesn't have a FSB, it has an HT link but the OCing is the same. Infact the bios in some boards may even refer to it as FSB for familiarity even if it is not technically a Front Side Bus.

Ok now I get it. If the fsb tops at 275=its 330 HT at ratio 5:6=highest OC 2970, right?

Thanks Asus

Nope
Other way around.
The base clock determines your CPU speed and other components in the PC (Memory).
But you can use a ratio to offset the clock to a slower speed if it can not handle it.
If the clock is set to 200MHz and the memory runs at 200MHz then the ratio is 1 or 6:6.
If the clock is set to 200MHz and you have old PC2700 DDR333 (166MHz) that cannot handle 200MHz then you can set the ratio to 5:6 which will clock the memory at 166MHz instead of 200MHz.
If you have memory that can handle your 289MHz OC then you would leave the ratio alone. But if it was not stable because of your memory maxing out at 250MHz then you could set the ratio to 5:6 which would allow your base clock to run stable at 289MHz with the Memory running at 5/6ths (83%) of that speed or 241MHz.

I should keep bringing up 289MHz because we don't know just how far your CPU and Board will OC.

shouldnt you know if you oced ure p4 to 4.1ghz///

This is true.

I'm talking about an athlon that has alot less multi than Intel and wanting to overclock it to atleast 2.6 ghz and thats 800 mhz higher than default. Overclocking an 3.4c to 4017 mhz gets you only to 236 fsb........which isn't much at all.

Asus, but I'm correct about that fsb thing, right? If the memory handles 275 fsb then it handles an A64 overclocked to 2970 at 5:6 ratio?
