PJ's Gigabyte 8INXP

[caboob]

GO PJ!! You are giving me hope that I can push my 2.66B (currently @ 160 FSB stable) farther along!!! Got my Giggy board on order as well as some extra radiator cores. MUHAAHAAHAAHAA.

 

[Wingit]

Any luck with temp monitoring?

Very Impressive Scores!

 

[jpetermann]

Got her at 166 right now. Had to up it to 1.65. The board overvolts by .05. I thought I was over that when I got rid of my Asus.

Got temps now. Have to do it through the easytune utility. Really stinks.

Updated at the top - 166 fsb!

 

[Toymaker]

Ah, Easytune does work with that board. One person was having problems with Easytune in another forum. By the way, Those scores are matching my no-turbo Rambus scores almost exactly. That Gigabyte board rocks, man! And i can't do turbo past 150 FSB because my memory isn't good enough yet.

 

[Wingit]

How are temps?....Are you using stock hsf or other? (I have "high temp" P4PE)

 

[jpetermann]

Temps are hovering between 37-40. My wife has got the heat pumped up a little. I am using the Alpha 8942 and ASIII.

By the way, another update up top.

Anandtech got their board at 163 stable. Your's is a production board so you'll at least be that good. Are you overclocking using Easytune or the bios?

 

[Wingit]

In reply to your note up top...Yes, Corsair XMS rated to 2.8

GG

 

[jpetermann]

I am overclocking in the bios. I never really liked the easytune thing.

[Mikki]

160fsb @ default v-core? Nice.... Gonna give us some more bench scores PJ?

 

[jpetermann]

Mikki,

yes, I will. I have a coulpe more up top. Will do some more today.

P4spooky and Phocas...
I am close to clicking the "Check Out" button on this AOPEN AX4R... MyAOpen.com

$182 w/shipping... I think this is in stock

seen some benchies on this mobo and they look pretty good compared to the gigabyte and ( changed!?!? ) asus boards...

does the AOPEN AX4R support a p4 3.06? Im sure it does...

Yes it does and it does have the option for HT.

Does Sandra show you what your pci/agp is locked at? I want something to verify that the pci/agp lock is working.

PJ

 

[THUGSROOK]

nope

 

[jpetermann]

Heh, didn't think so. I don' think I would be booting if it wasn't locked though. Not at 165 fsb anyways.

PJ

 

[Toymaker]

how's your stress testing coming along?

pretty much

 

[jpetermann]

Ok, just for kicks, I tried the Easytune software to O'clock, and I got it up to 170 fsb at 1.65 vcore. I gotta go out for a little while, but will get back at it later on.

Hey PJ! Great job, Dude. 4000+ in Sandra - that's just sick. Where did you get your board from and how much did it set you back?

 

[jpetermann]

I got the board from Elvis2 here in the fs/ft for $230 shipped. He paid a little more I believe. It is a nice board all around. Good quality.

Looped through 3dmark for a couple hours. Everything was fine. I have not done more than a few minutes of Prime, had to stop it to do some other things. No memtest yet either.

One thing I am a little disappointed with is the Sandra File Bench. I was getting like 48,000 with my P4PE, I am at 34,000 now. Maybe there is something I am missing. Everything is running fine, just liked seeing those high benches! What do you all think I am missing?

167 results up top!
