2.26b format is posted.

im gonna install the chip in a few minutes..... BRB

 

[Mikki]

Hey Thugs, did you use ASII on the chipset heatsinks or did you just put a fan on the NB and a heatsink on the SB?

 

[THUGSROOK]

just the fan ~ the p4b533 i used was also just a fan.

AGP / PCI lock testing @ 133fsb

3dmark2001
auto = 11648
66.6 = 11686
79.9 = 11747

ill run these tests again @ 150 and 166fsb.

2.26b @ 133fsb

idle
room temp = 27*C
cpu temp = 43*C
board temp = 32*C
vcore = 1.5v (1.55v actual)

prime95
cpu temp = 52*C
board temp = 32*C
vcore = 1.488v

12v = 11.90v
5v = 4.97v
3.3v = 3.28v

.... this is great stuff
maybe i'll pay you since im getting so much out of all this, it'll be like another cable bill ( $120 a month sound good? )

hehe

AGP / PCI lock testing @ 150fsb

3dmark2001
auto = 12162
66.6 = 12191
79.9 = 12205

wth is going on with Auto?
its not 75agp thats for sure.

ill run these tests again @ 166fsb.

 

[Mikki]

That could be the bottom of the cycle...my -E would go up with the fsb in steps, and at a certain point it would go back to 33.6mhz and start the cycle over again. You could be seeing the freq toward the bottom of the cycle at 133 and 150fsb.....also, it never went above 36mhz, that's when the freq would go back to 33.6mhz...just a possibility...

 

[THUGSROOK]

the reason im doing these tests is because @ 195fsb, Auto was king.
obviously something weird going on with the agp above 133fsb.

 

[THUGSROOK]

2.26b @ 150fsb

idle
room temp = 27*C
cpu temp = 42*C
board temp = 32*C

prime95
cpu temp = 52*C

5v = 4.97v
3.3v = 3.28v

 

[Tummy]

man.. sure sounds sweet. My 8inxp seems to limit my 2.26 to 171fsb, but I've had it as high as 174 when using 1 dimm. (can do 174 using 1 dimm in 8inxp too).

p4g8x at 195! craaaa-zzzyyy...

AGP / PCI lock testing @ 166fsb

3dmark2001
auto = 12968

auto wins this time
ill have to figure out why....

Thanks for the extra work. So far, the extra mem BW doesn't seem to produce all that much of a difference in performance. The X-Isle demo seems to be the exception. I forget, that is a Serious Sam engine game?

I would think the next set of benches should be better since your 845E mem freq of 443 DDR @ 166 FSB is about out of gas. You'll have to drop to 1:1 pretty soon. That is where the GB will shine.

 

[THUGSROOK]

np oldfart
youre request results are perhaps THE most important part of this thread.

yea baby! X-Isle is serious sam engine
(and a great benchmark)

 

[LastRide]

What!,no 3DMark03 that was released today..LOL.Will the P4G8X take one stick of ram and are you going to run any tests with one for comparison?.

 

[THUGSROOK]

hmmm maybe ~ wasnt planning on it but maybe.


the lack of adjustable cas settings on this board when overclocked really hurts performance.
hopefully a bios update will correct this.
in the mean time ill just have to hack it for cas222

current performance is extreamly disappointing
the board is solid as a rock tho

 

[SupermanCK]

go go go...
now all we need thug to do is to get one of those 2.4b overclocked to 3.4 without ease...then THUGS will really be the KING of OVERCLOCKING

 

[THUGSROOK]

AGP / PCI lock testing @ 170fsb

3dmark2001
auto = 13135
66.6 = 13039
79.9 = failed

looks like theres a problem @ 170fsb with high mhz locks.
i didnt have any other problems using 80/40 so far (upto 195fsb), so this is an oddity.

 

[Tbirdkid]

nice thugs.... someday you will be as good as me..... LOL

Yep - it's solid and I am still sitting at 172fsb on this board just like my BD7II
Guess that .7 OC is it for my little 2.4b

Did get a nice boost with the DC and wpcredit/wpcrset at 2-2-2-5
Thanks for the link on the settings. Have not had to use those programs for a long time.

 

[LastRide]

You need to figure out a way to steal ErikaeanLogic 2.4b chip at 3.4 plus
