NF4 Pre OC 3dmark

[Benamin]

Okay my system is put together and stable. Now I want to start OC'ing. I did a 3Dmark2005 test before oc and got a score of 4988. Does this sound reasonable.

 

Oh I put my vid card back to stock for this as well (sig shows oc)

 

I just want to make sure things seem A ok before I start playing with stuff to overclock higher.

 

Thanks for comments in advance.

What are you waiting for? GIVE IT THE HORNS!!! Score seems about the average for your system specs, have fun OC'in, take it a little at a time and enjoy the speed :shake:

Ure memory might hold you back a bit but if you put it on a divider you should be fine! If whats in your sig is an indication 3.2 volts for your memory already!? That is why it might hold you back if that is at stock speeds.

Ure beating me with your score even when i oc so you are going to be just fine! lol

Im having funny results when i o/c my cpu so im interested how your scores go

 

i just scored about 5450 with my gt clocked to 400/1100 with my 3500 at stock but only got 5560 with cpu at 2.75ghz and card at 400/1100

seems wierd

The big thing i noticed that is compared to other 3500,s my cpu score is WAY lower

How is yours?

Well I'm a rookie at this, but right now I am playing with keeping all my timings as tight as possible. I updated my sig but I got a 3d05 of 5588 in this last run @ 2.475mhz. I just downloaded the free version of 3dmark05 and I don't think it will show me my CPU scores?

 

Tommorrow I'll see where I can get my CPU.

 

It sure takes awhile to run memtest and then prime95 for every step up.

 

Thanks

sounds like you getting there with that ram looks like nice stuff be interesting to see how far you can push her.

The cpu score im talking about is in the free version its just blow the total score when u view it in the details, its not broken down into catagories.

mine was cpu score in 3dmark 05 3997 when at 11x250 mhz (2.75ghz) thats why i think theres something wrong with my gear

let me know how you go with scores thanks

[Benamin]

Well I a have been playing around some more. I updated my sig. I got 5603 3d05 score and I found the the 3DMark05 cpu score which ended up at 5452 which is higher than yours and I don't know why. I'm running 11x235mhz in this test.

 

Maybe there is something wrong with your proc but I wouldn't know.

 

Good Luck

3d mark o5 gives a benchmark of mainly graphics card performance. If you want to see how well your processor is doing 3dmark 2001 is a better bet.

had my card in pci-e slot 2 which is default 2x not 16x like i thought (manual sux butt) scores cool now 6011 3dmark 05. love this board.
