scyphe Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Okay, I bought and built the stuff yesterday (check my sig) so I'm a novice in the A64-world. Anyway, here's the first results I've got after some moderate overclocking. Feel free to comment. (changed images to URL's, I just got 10mbit and forgot about all modem/cable/xDSL-users) http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/cpu-z.jpg http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/cpu-z_ram.jpg http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/sandra_cpu.jpg http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/sandra_ram.jpg This got me confused since I had just changed the timings from 2.0-3-6-3 to 2.0-2-2-2, both with T1, but I didn't gain anything. Could it be because I run HTT @ x4 ? Any advice on the HTT-setting? Also, why is Sandra telling me I'm running @ 2x808? FSB is running 230Mhz, and DRAM-timing is 200:/1. Shouldn't that be 2x~920??? I'll use ClockGen to see if 11x230 is attainable without raising voltage and with stock heatsink. brb....... HTT @ 5X was a dud... POST entered the RAID-bios and then reboots. Raised CPU-multi to 11x, and reset RAM to Auto (SPD): http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/cpu-z2.jpg http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/cpu-z_ram2.jpg http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/sandra_cpu2.jpg http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/sandra_ram2.jpg Looking better... and I figure that 10.5 lowered the FSB/HTT (whatever). This time it's as it should be. 96% in RAM-tests in Sandra... I wonder how I'm gonna raise FSB and lower multiplier and keep some bandwidth... Hmmmm... perhaps I should strain the timings to the ultimate 2.0-2-2-2 and see what happens with this CPU/FSB-setting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedy Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 bad ocing...raise FSB/HTT not multi !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scyphe Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Hey, I'm just feeling the water here, focusing on finding the CPU's sweetspot and experimenting a little. Let's try something different... Like raising the FSB enough to get the CPU past 2.6Ghz... EDIT: w00t w00t, I broke the 12k-barrier in Sandra CPU-test.. :nod: http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/clockgen.jpg http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/cpu-z3.jpg http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/sandra_cpu3.jpg http://home.swipnet.se/scyphe/otherstuff/sandra_ram3.jpg I'm happy, all on stock-air... Time for some Prime95 and MemTest86 3.x (whatever version it may be now). I expect to end up with errors since I've heard 2.6Ghz+ is difficult to attain with stock cooling. I think I'll have to order a Thermaltake SLK-948U... Voltage doesn't seem to make as much difference as on earlier generations of CPU's. btw, I've noticed a certain problem, NIC seems to drop every now and then. Some more voltage to the chipset perhaps.. Or less.. or better cooling. edit: increased chipset voltage one notch, no noticeable problems.

scyphe Posted October 16, 2004 Posted October 16, 2004 Oh, sorry, didn't enter my mind. I'll shrink them... I've got a fresh install, and paint doesn't shrink pictures well at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scyphe Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 *DONE* thanks guys. I'm still extremely happy that I beat every listed entry in the CPU-list in Sandra... Of course, it's not prime-stable since the heat soars after a few minutes with stock-cooling, but it bodes well for when I get the Thermaltake 948U and some Arctic Silver on the CPU....

scyphe Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Ordered a Thermalright SLK-948-U and a PAPST 92x25 (23dB) fan and Arctic Silver 5. Stock isn't good enough to cool the CPU for overclocking and overvolting.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 try a Thermaltake Smartfan2 80mm adjustable or an adjustable 92mm fan too...they cheap over here in america so shouldnt be too expensive in Swederland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
