ionicle's project 4000!

[ionicle_old]

when i get it...lol

 

[ionicle_old]

someone sugested to me that it might be my power unit, suplying both my graphics card and my processor with not enough voltage, that might be causing such crap 3dmark scores....any ideas on that people?

 

[NickS]

I have a 420w Enermax powering a helluva lot more of a demanding computer, prolly almost 2x the power...you should be fine then.

 

[ionicle_old]

your computer....more demanding...ROFL! ofcorse

 

[ionicle_old]

right...did super PI to 1M and got it finished in 36 seonds...any good?

 

[NickS]

Ian. 3x 7200RPM HDD's, 2 of which are SATA and RAID'ed. X800GTO @ X850XTPE, heavily modified and overclcoked. Venice @ 2.6GHz, 1.55v. Sound blaster live, compro tv tuner, msi neo4 plat, 2x512mb geil golden, nec 48x cd-rw, nec 16x dvd+rw..

my computer runs cirlces around yours, every which way...& it whores the power w/CCFL's and LED fans.

 

[ionicle_old]

right...i'm at 2.7GHz stable

and the temp is at 44*C under full F@H load

 

[FarFarAway]

Good work Ian: thats a decent OC and glad to hear you actually got it stable

 

[ionicle_old]

i'll try for a bit further

it seems the ceiling is 2760MHz, the ram wil go further as i hadit at 270 x10 to test, but it wont go further than that, i had to put the memory down to 2-3-3-7 its now at:

 

[NickS]

Hehe, nice Ian.

@ Kemp, stable to him is a BSOD once in a while. :S

 

[ionicle_old]

no, stable to me is running super PI to 32M and not having it fail

 

[NickS]

32M tests ram. Run Prime95 In-Place Large FFT Torture Test. Google search Prime95 and d/l it.

 

[bloodthirst]

ian thats only a 300mhz overclock you should be able to get higher than that

 

[ionicle_old]

it utterly REFUSES to go any higher, beleive me i tried

 

[bloodthirst]

it utterly REFUSES to go any higher, beleive me i tried

well have you worked around with ram timings? A64 tweaker at all?... you should be able to hit fragteks overclock easily regardless of whether your on air or water

 

[Dav0s]

ian your ram goes to 300mhz with the right patience and settings. if bourne ahs the patience will you he will help you get evry last mhz out of em

 

[ionicle_old]

beleive me i tried, the processor wil NOT go another MHz, or not stable..i am only at 1.5V though....how much voltage can a san diego take?

leave the cpu as it is for the moment, just tweak the ram

 

[NickS]

yah i agree with fried TOTALLY.

 

[ionicle_old]

by tweak the ram you mean...what?...timings?

and i made a discovery, the ram on my 3000+, i found out usin CPU-Z is at 2.1V, and 4-5-5-14
