RT2 Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 hey guys. what would give me a better performance..? 250*10 or 240*11..? the memory limit seems to be 250 on 3.3V..and i don't want to go higher with the voltage.. I know i should benchmark both of the results, but what program should i use? aquamark +3dmark checks the GFX card mostly..sandra has seperate tests for memory and CPU..but how can i check the OVERAL performance? thanks!

chennhui Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Athlon64 would benefit most from latency than bandwidth. Therefore it all depend on your timings. If you need to relax your timings from 240 to 250, then obviously it would be better to run at 240. On the contrary, if you can run the same timings, then I would suggest runnning at 250. Use everest to bench you DRAM latency and do some 3DMark. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exscape Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I'd go for 11*240 any day of the week. 140 MHz CPU is a lot more than 10MHz mem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 240x11 most definately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chennhui Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 My mistake go for 240x11=2640. I thought both yielded same CPU speed but actually not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT2 Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 thanks guys. i'm on 240*11..stable 1 hour already on prime..i'm happy with the SD cpu.. btw, i'm on 1.5 vcore..isn't it little bit high? thanks.. edit: i'm not on 250*11!! stable for now with prime..(not for sure yet). still on 1.5 vcore! wow this cpu is amazing.

THunDA Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I also vote for the 240x11.. in the end its best to bench it and see which is better but the 240x11 will most likely yield better performance.. 1.5vcore is fine especially with your xp120..

RT2 Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 heh i just played with the memory settings with some info from you guys on prev posts..and now i'm on 260*11 rock stable! damn what a cpu:)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exscape Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Can't be rock stable within a couple of hours I ran prime95 all night + a bit more (total ~12 hours) without errors and then my computer suddently froze. Nothing to do but up the vcore a little bit. Edit: Still very nice, of course :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chennhui Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 I had a Prime95 failure after 16hours... Generally I would say 24hours of Prime95 should be able to trace most error due to CPU and DRAM. Just to be safe, I tested mine up to 49hours of priming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 RT2 would you be so kind as to post or PM me with your Bios and mem settings. Danke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT2 Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 sure, here are my settings: 200 ENABLED 2.0 02 06 02 07 16 03 03 02 03 2059 AUTO ENABLED AUTO 0 LEV8 LEV2 7.0 AUTO 256 DISABLE 16 07 DISABLED ----------------------- 250 4.0 16|16 11 100 DISABLED 1.4 1.4 VID +113% 1.3 1.7 3.3 i'm stable on 250*11..dont want to use 3.4 on mem, hence it f***ed up the board last time.. tried to do 3.4 on mem and 260*11..it was fine 2 hours with prime and then i shut it down..
