I did some very basic testing, and have come up with some bad news:
from my estimations I find a +4 db louder hiss in ALC888 when compared to SBLive 5.1 even if they wrote the ALC888 has 97 db while creative wrote the SBLive has 95 db, and that's not all, unfortunately in my mobo (IP35-E)...
I have the same settings, reached 1024 mhz with 800 mhz sticks, however effective bandwidth is still about 400 mhz (effective) behind (wasted clocks to achieve the same speed as AMD platform), if you want high memory performance I recommend copying the update.sys file from xp service pack 3 and...
I was wondering how is the testing of the new bios working, is it still slower than 12 ?
also did anyone try to plug the sblive 5.1 into the PCI ? I seem to be having problems with sound when connecting my sound card sound plays just fine, for a while until it starts to cause weird noises and...
for those interrested I have done some tests on my ALC888 regarding CPU usage here: http://manoa.flnet.org
in short I can summarize some things:
1. at a cpu clock frequency of 3880 mhz of my core 2 duo the cpu usage was <1% on all kinds of tests (including EAX)
2. the tests used a...
three is a problem I don't know if it's only with this BIOS (12) or is it a board problem in general, but:
I have water cooling as stated in signature, and I have booting problems with it: the system does not boot when room temperature is below 15 C, right now the room temp is 11 C, and the...
I hear you, so this is mutch more recommended than 1.5250, damn dude this sucks, I could have buyed a 4400 or some other cheap-version, the almost-best dual core and gets to the same speeds as the cheap editions, should have known
I don't think I ran the 1M test at 480x7, it's just a record...
I have both of these on as well, but I set in BIOS 1.5250V and in CPU-z it shows 1.456 / 1.464 / 1.472, you set 1.465 in bios or see it in cpu-z ?
im guessing you put 1.465 in bios and see 1.42 in cpuz,
looks like the Orthos test is stable after 20 minutes, I think the cpu voltage was what's...
the voltage in cpu-z is about 0.075V lower than it is in bios, which is correct the bios or the cpu-z for the actual voltage going into the cpu ?
the Orthos Large mode is stable for 13 minutes at 480x8 with 1.5250 V (1.456V cpu-z) and 1.85V DRAM, good enough or try to increase some more FSB...
hmmmm, I have managed to boot and reboot at 500x8, but I am having freezes during the large test at 1.5850V, it seems that no matter what I am increasing or decreasing it does not seem to solve the freezing problem...
I am now trying to run Orthos Large at 1.5250V / 1.85V and all the rest...
ok, I have here is the results for standard 480 FSB:

and this is with CPU multiplier going up to 8x...
saw the first post and the someone's results, im quite sure that this ram is stable over 1000 mhz, but I will check, still are you suggesting that I start increasing CPU multiplier from 7 to 8 ?
I have reached 460 FSB without increasing any voltage anywhere, I reduced the cpu multiplier deliberately to prevent it from needing more voltage, does this make any sense ?
