Overclocking is awsome!

Pman · Aug 13, 2004, 08:26 AM

I think this is a good score for my system running 3dmark01. here is my setup:

P4 1.4ghz @ 1.53
Bus speed : 440mhz
Radeon 9600 pro @ 526/320 and ATi 4.8 beta
maxtor 120gb harddrive

3dmard01 score: 9535

I think this is good for my system. Is it? Also i was unable to overclock the CPU any more that 1539mhz. I would like to because it runs at 45c at load overclocked. Also the Vcore is at 1.7. If i increased the Vcore could i overclock the CPU more? Thanks

I wouldn't increase your Vcore any futher, any more than 1.75v and your asking for trouble on a P4, are you sure its not the memory that is capping it?

Ya it might be. i never thought of that. im runing some samsung pc800 rdram that came with the mobo. i didnt increase the vcore so i guess im ok. it runs at 42c at load at max OC. is the score ok for my PC though?

why are you not useing the newer 4.9 beta?

my amd 2500+/ 1.83 ghz 333 fsb gets about 12,000 with the same cardstock

you needat lest 512ram and see if you board will support an cpu upgrade for 50-100 you could get a large boost

I have tested the 4.9 drivers and the 4.8 beta's are faster for me. they are even faster then omega drivers. i have 512 mb or ram also. besides you computer is faster @ 1.83 and the doesnt the 2500 mean it runs like a P4 2.5ghz? i can get a P4 1.8 ghz in this mother board but im upgrading to a athlon64 3000+ system soon

Read this for voltage maxes

Al Vampyre is right not to go past 1.7 V if you were running on a Northwood, but you're running on a Willamette core and they can withstand up to 2.10 V. (Most mobos won't let you touch above 2 V) I've ran my 1.7 GHz at 1.95V to hit 2.0 GHz before

So will you be able to reach higher speeds with higher VCore? Yes. 45 C isn't high for full load on a CPU, I'd consider it moderate.

thank you. i will try it

Pman · Aug 13, 2004, 09:05 PM

i tryed increasing the vcore but it wouldnt let my OC anymore. eny were from 1.7 to 1.85 it was the same. thanks anyways
