nice 3dMark results thug. whats your card clocked to ?

 

[THUGSROOK]

im too embarressed to say

only 295x645

 

[DinoGucci]

is that the max you card have gone?
what Ti4400 is that?

dino

 

[THUGSROOK]

thats the max the card can loop 3dm2k1 for over 6hours with. (100% stable)
maybe other ppl arent as serious about stability as i am .

its a visiontek.

Curious as to why you went with the 845e version of the P4B533 instead of the P4B533-V (845g) version...

 

[THUGSROOK]

i dont like anything onboard - to me its all just a waste, even on this board.
onboard video and audio and lan? no thx

the "G" board do have nice performance with that 4:5 ratio tho.

Any idea if this board solves the USB issues that the P4B266-C had when you overclocked it?

 

[lookin4dlz]

Thanks, makes sense

 

[THUGSROOK]

sorry but i dont use any USB. i have it all disabled in the bios.
there are a ton of USB options in the bios too. even voltage adjustments :Q

 

[THUGSROOK]

180fsb has been achived ...rather easily too.

 

[DinoGucci]

wow thug. you went way up man. put a mask on your face so if that chip blow up you will be safe heh.

listen which vantec are you using on your alpha hsf?

 

[THUGSROOK]

hehe Dino

im using the quiet 27cfm Vantec fan.

 

[DinoGucci]

dude what are your temperature?? 27 cfm is mad weak. no?

 

[Duvie]

Thugs...How did that hsf combo run you??? How much rpm for the fan??? what are your temps at 1.89v at the 180fsb???

 

[DinoGucci]

man i bought that Alpha Pal 8942 with a panaflow 36 cfm and it was horrible Load was going up high and yah i tried putting it back a few times to make sure it has contact but still it wasnt good. My AVC kicked its ass. And thats what i am on now.

 

[THUGSROOK]

the alpha wasnt cheap, but its worth a good 2*C over anything else out there.
the fan is 2150rpm.
i hit 52*C @ 180fsb while running benchmarks.

 

[DinoGucci]

you gotta a link for a review on the alpha T?

 

[THUGSROOK]

nope

 

[Duvie]

I have an avc as well and thugs fan seems to push same cfm as mine does but mine is running 4000 rpms....So I imagine the db is quite a bit lower then the 33db I think mine is...

I hit 55c under full load at 2.51ghz (157) but this board is running about 4-6c different then the asus p4s333 board...ON that mobo at 2.51ghz idle I was only 39c (5-6c lower then epox) and 52c high...all of that while running 1.775v (1.83V ACTUAL) versus only 1.675v (1.61 atual)...

 

[DinoGucci]

well how do you know its worth 2c over anyother one thug ?

 

[DinoGucci]

that sounds about right duvie.

 

[THUGSROOK]

Dino cause if there ws something better - id have it
i really got the alpha so i could use a quiet low speed 80mm 27cfm 21dba fan. i was getting tired of all that +30dba cr@p :|

even with this low speed fan it better then my Thermaltake P4V 478 was :Q

 

[THUGSROOK]

oh BTW: the latest version of WCPUid can correctly identify DDR speeds on this board.

CPUz can correctly identify the Cas settings.

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

Very nice OC! 5 MHz increments are getting kind of boring though , come back when you hit 100% overclock (3.2 GHz is a nice number to shoot for, no?)

[DinoGucci]

ICE, what you think its a radio you gonna crank then it will work??
