[tigger]

the differance is,mine is for anyone.amd or intel.its for high oc's not just for amd.

[JC316]

Well, tiger, I can see X2's point. I mean, since I don't have a conroe, I would prefer to see the amd benches so I can compare and work for mine.

[Easy Rhino]

sign me up! ive got the athlon x2 2.0ghz 3800+ (same cpu as you) overclocked to 2.45ghz right now. dram is down to 333 and ht clock down to 600mhz just for overclocking purposes. im going to push this badboy to 2.7 just scared of how much power im gonna have to put into it. right now its at 1.5v. how did you get yours to 2.7 with less than that?

:rockout:

[Greek]

i supose u could add me, i gt a 4200X2 oc'd at 2600MHZ looking to go for more on air but dont no if i shud as i aint gt watercooling and worried about voltage and temps

[Easy Rhino]

not sure,maybe mine was made on a good day:)


so what was your processes of overclocking? lower ht multi and dram speed then set the ext clock to 230 or something and up voltage then repeat? whats your ht link speed running at? i hear above 1000 is unstable. mines at 750 right now since i turned down the ht multi (ldt)to 600 mhz. but at 1.5v im not sure how much higher i want to go. i hear 1.6v is the last safe step. btw, did you up your dram speed last?

[JC316]

Sure, sign me up. I will run the benchies and PM you the links.

[Greek]

ohh did a 3d mark 06 test as well, ah well i gt 1890 just out of curiosity if any1 wanted to no lol.
ohh an athlon here is what i mean by that ram frequency

http://img165.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cpuzverifiedhr5.jpg

[Easy Rhino]

when i overclock to 2.74ghz i set my ram timing to 3-3-3-8 and my HT to x3 thats it my memory can handle 560mhz its hyperx so i dont have to change my memory frequency i leave it at 200 and clock it all at default voltage

i guess i need better memory if im going to get past 2.45ghz
after that is just crashes, even if i drop the multiplier.

[Namslas90]

Do I have to overclock my puter to join the club, or can I just have high 'mark' test scores?

[Namslas90]

How will video card overclocking rates be compaired, and or effect the 'Overclockers" ranking.

[Easy Rhino]

ill send you the benchmarks later today

[Judas]

Add me.. i am on the science mark 2.0 list

[Greek]

i think that the sciencemark 2 are for 1 core of the processor only, i mean people with 3800+ get around a thousand clocked at 2.45 and, and i get around that with the x2 4200, so its a bit of a pointless test in a way for people who own x2's, i think that the 3dmark06 scores support x2's and its a test we should use for the best results.

just a thought

greek

[Namslas90]

3dMark is highly Video card dependant, therefore there would have to be another set of catagories for the different classes of video cards. Unless all members are happy with lower rankings based on the card they have.

[Judas]

With my 7800gt .. that would put me in a very low class :p

[Namslas90]

LOL, but not realy that low. Thats the point I'm trying to make; I believe Athlon X2 is trying to maintain a 'AMD' overclockers club and needs feedback from members on how exactly to rate,grade and score the different systems.

[Judas]

Maybe we should just post our scores here ...what do you think?

[Namslas90]

Yeah, I thinks thats they route to take in order to submit results that will then be transfered to the web site @ yahoo. I think you might be able to link your name at the yahoo site to your TPU profile or maybe your 'My Space' account? Ask athlon X2.

[Judas]

we can post our scores here and then i can put them on the site to maintain a database and for easy lookup

I sent you an email it has the n bench score

[Easy Rhino]

what do you want our 3dmark06 settings to be at??

[Namslas90]

Yeah ATIOnion, I don't do clubs, so you gotta join to keep AthlonX2 from bugging me.

[ATIonion]

alright then how does this rank.....

amd 3200+ 754pin

3dmark06 = 30,114
and
sciencemark2 =25,113

lol....all that with a hamster running in a wheel for a psu....

i'll do my tests when i get my real psu back in it and run those tests....i havent ran those tests in a while....

[cdawall]

ill join when my system is back up and running :D

I add mine when i get everything downloaded.

You shoud add the CPU speed to the page.

[Greek]

here's ma shit scores. i dunno how to get it working with 2.75 unless i have the ram set to 200 MHZ which effectivelly runs at 133.7mhz with 3 5 5 8 timings, if iuse 3 3 3 8 it wont work and restarts the machine.

P.S.=> I've done most of the tests required here, but it is a matter of space 4 me! apk

[jlewis02]

in that picture of your 3dmark score you have your HTT to high its at 1100 it should never go over 1000

May I ask why it must never go over 1000 as mine is at 1100 all the time and its been as high as 1200.

[ATIonion]

this is mine i guess....i'll keep tweaken...

kool, nice overclock, i wud ask how u did that in what settings but u have an am2 board and i have a 939, so my guess is u have a lot better ram, oh and athlonx2 my ht went to 1100 with the xact setings u told me, with the mutl on 10 lol, i will try to tweak it as much, but ma ram is not the same i have 2 512's and 1 gig from dif manufactures, so that cud be a small issue. :(

[Tatty_One]

I'm In!! Have already benched for 2006 and Sciencemark so I'll do the AMD one and post them all over the weekend, was playing around last night and actually got my CPU to boot into windows at 3.4Gig! didnt Prime test it tho but will play with that before I bench again.

Not that I am particularily into them myself but is there to be a league table? Like the 3 combined scores to add to a total and then an order of merit like the Sciencemark thread?

[Wile E]

htt is the link between the K8 (CPU) to NB (Northbridge) and it makes the overclock very unstable if it goes over 1000,you have to lower the HTT multiplyer if you want to overclock

It all depends on the mobo. Mine was stable at 1250MHz 24/7 with +.15V at a 250MHz bus speed. That was before I finally found my HT multiplier in the bios. (had no idea some board manufacturers called it the LDT bus) Strangely enough tho, it won't go to 1100 or above with the 4x multi, thus I run it with a 3x multi at my current settings(about 840MHz). I'd like it to go higher, to see if it makes a performance difference, but it just isn't to be. I know it benched better when I ran at 1250 vs 1000 with all else being equal, but not by very much. (Something to the order of 10 or so points CPU in 3DMark05)

[Tatty_One]

As to the HTT performance thing, I have run tests (Sciencemark 2 and 3D Mark 2005) at a number of HTT speeds and there was no difference in scores at all, even going from my current 4x at my CPU speed down to 1x with same speed/configuration.

i like the idea of it. just add a bit of your own flavor to it to make it personal for eachone.

[Greek]

Whos signature are you talking about? Mine or Athlon x2,

[Urlyin]

I think the scores should be kept local to TPU and not on some Yahoo server... if AthlonX2 goes the way of Ketxxx then the Yahoo database goes too ...

[stevorob]

Perhaps with the scores, we should have system info. I really would like to know some of the hardware you guys are using with these scores. I know we can just look in the threads for users and look up system info, but perhaps links to the profiles here from the yahoo site would be useful.

Also, maybe everyone in this club can post up there system info on TPU. That would be cool.

I like being able to compare scores with fellow AMD users, specifically AM2 users.

[stevorob]

i like the idea of it. just add a bit of your own flavor to it to make it personal for eachone.

Maybe we can get our usernames in the top right of the sig, but keep them all looking the same. Since this is a club, we should look the same as the other members.

My $.02 anyways.

[cdawall]

in that picture of your 3dmark score you have your HTT to high its at 1100 it should never go over 1000

if its stable it doesnt matter i ran my s754 @ over 1000mhz and it was made to run @ 800mhz it really doesnt matter as long as it works

[FLY3R]

Just a suggestion for the stats page, you should have people enter what there stock speeds are aswell as overclocked speeds of CPU, GPU, and ram, that way you can see what clocks speeds do better on different systems.

[Tatty_One]

OK just to start the ball rolling for me here is me Sciencemark 2 score, its an old run I took from the Sciencemark thread, I will run the test again sometime as I have new RAM so I am sure she will go to 1550+, am downloading the AMD thingy at the moment. This run was done at 3.1Gig for optimum memory speed, if I run at 3.25Gig I have to set the memory divider so I lose memory speed which is a bigger negative believe it or not than the positive of an extra 150Mhz on the CPU, memory difference is 480Mhz @ 3.1 Gig, 450Mhz @ 3.25Gig, strange.

[Tatty_One]

Ok here is the AMD thingy score, run at default straight from download, no system tweaks or graphics card tweaks at all, this was on 3.2Gig but 7900GTO was only at 705/800 (what I keep her at for day to day use) and I had not shut down any background apps so will try to do better tomorrow and then I will also do the 2006 run.

[ATIonion]

http://img297.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3dmark06cpuscoreqb0.jpg

Sceincemark really is RAM dependant as its overall system performancce, as I said on an earlier thread, I get a higher score at 3.1Gig with my Ram at 480 than at 3.25Gig with a divider running my Ram at 450.

[Tatty_One]

Hey x2 you didnt put my NBench score on....I was particularily proud of that one! The system specs page has me down as the 1800XT, I have 2 cards in my specs but am running the 7900GTO for this as its much faster.

i dunno why mine wont go up to 400MHZ though i means its still pc3200

If you let me know your memory divider and FSB speed I can answer that.

$50 mobo when i bought it a year ago......still runs good today....:rockout:

lol thats more than i spent on my cpu and mobo NEW!!! sweel deal no :D im prolly going to just Vmod the board if i cant get this one any higher oh and you beat my cpuz score cause f that ddr400 so i would be happy with what you got im runnning ddr266 @ 330

[stevorob]

Got some screenshots?

[stevorob]

Sounds good to me. I would rather have less members who are active, than lots of members who pop on once or twice and then are never seen again.

[jlewis02]

30 days sounds good to me

[Wile E]

Yeah, I don't think 30 days is too much to ask. Sounds good to me.

EDIT: And maybe a minimum number of posts, say like 20?

[stevorob]

Minimum posts sounds good to me too. 20 isn't much and if you contribute a little bit in this thread, you can reach that easily.

[Tatty_One]

Or perhaps have at least 1 or 2 star rating which shows some committment to TPU as well as our little club within????

[Tatty_One]

Ahhhhh penny's just dropped, I was a bit puzzled by the scores that were being posted.....your ownly using the CPU scores within the benches, not the full benchmark score?

[Judas]

what do you guys think about putting a limit on who can join the club? and what kind of limits,dont worry for those of you who have already joined,i am thinking about making people be a member of tpu for at least 30 days before they can join,i dont want to have people popping in and joining and then we never see them again? what do you guys think? please speak up with all comments please!!!!

Yes min 30 days sounds good to me ..or/and as TaTTy suggested use the tpu star rating

I agree also. One speed for all three tests.

i think 30 days s harsh and 1 start can be gainsed easilty by five post or even two starts by 20 or 25 not sure exactly, i think 10 days shuid be gd, but then again thats my thoughs, and yes i do agree same cpu speed for each test.

I still think 30 would be better. A person can find this site and thread, post a whole lot in a few days, then get bored with it and never be seen again. 30 days show at least a little commitment.

then he has to post on tpu weekly (unless he says that's going on vacation or something), if he stop posting kick him out

[zekrahminator]

If you ask me, you should have a minimum post count and minimum required membership. If this were my club, 50 posts and 1 month of TPU membership would be fine requirements. Though, I can't say for sure, because the power users have never had this problem ;).

Cannot see what the issue is of running all 3 tests at the same CPU speed? after all it is an "AMD overclockers club" and overclocking is all about getting the best possible system performance for the task in hand, now I would perhaps say that as I ran the Sceincemark test at a lower CPU speed to give me greater memory speed as Sceincemark is very memory speed dependant but to me thats about using a bit of overclocking knowledge.....not the opposite.

I ran both tests at same speed 300x9

I just think that having the test run at the same speed would give us a better picture of the overall effects of our settings. Say you do run Sciencemark at one setting and 3DMark at another, how are we supposed to figure out that your Sciencemark setting isn't better for 3DMark, when we have no matching 3DMark to base it off of? I think it would be for the greater community good to use 1 setting at a time for all 3 benchmarks. Of course, it's not like it's a deal breaker or anything.

[Pepsiaddict]

I hear what your saying but I think It would be a bit stupid of me to run a bench at settings I knew would not give me the best score but whatever is decided I will of course go along with. Sceincemark in any case is not just a CPU bench....its actually a system (less graphics) bench, so it is measureing CPU/RAM/HDD etc yet in the other 2 tests we are only using the CPU score but in sceincemark we are using the system score hence my downclocking my CPU to upclock my ram if you get my meaning.

Nice rig! How come you only get that 2006 score? I beat you by some margin but I dont think I should be unless thats just the CPU score from 2006 and excludes the graphics...if it is....very tasty!

[stevorob]

How fast can you push that board pepsi?

[Pepsiaddict]

No that is the final score, my vid card isn't the absolute best of the GeForce series, 7950gt ko, I have it OC'ed a little bit, but not a whole lot. My CPU score is 2250....I dunno.


As far as how fast I can push this board, I'm not 100% possitive right now, I jut got this processor yesterday, and the place I bought it didn't have any WC kits, so now I have to hunt one down and get it on wednesday. Going to do that before I push it anymore :)

Right now it's sitting at 231 bus speed fully stable, I am possitive I can get some more out of it tho. Will find that out in a couple days :)


Edit : Your card is faster than mine, hence your higher score ;)

Yes my card is a little faster than yours but 2006 is heavily CPU dependant and especially likes dual cores which is why I was a little puzzled.

i have an amd 64x2 3800+ running at stock speed of 2000 mhz. how do i oer clock it?

Im aiming for 7 (or 8) x400 ... im not worried about the FSB, the board will but 7x400 all the way to windows, but its too hot right now to be stable.

[Wile E]

So I'm not so sure I can even get any more out of this board, right now it's running @ 231x13 and is fully stable. I'm not getting too terribly hot right now, around the 45C range under load, so I thought I'd try for a little bit more.

Well, anything after 231 becomes unusable, I loosened my ram timings for the tests, and still nothing. upped the core voltage, and still nothing. I'm sort of at a loss now as to what to try, I was thinking of getting some WC to try and push it to the max, but it seems that I *am* at my max for this board....dissapointed, but still happy to at least get it over 3ghz.


Anyone able to throw some insight at me as to what I should try?

chipset voltage?
until 55ºc your safe ;)

[Pepsiaddict]

ooo, yea never really thought about that...tho never done it before either...Will go check it out


Where would I find out what the voltages are now? In my bios they all say auto, so I dont know whats sage to put them at :p

[stevorob]

I don't think it's so much your board as it is your proccy.

My board isn't the greatest for OC (although it has a cold boot issue), but I can get 250 bus out of it... anywhere around 2.9ghz my proccy doesn't like and my system shuts off. It's not my RAM since I've loosened up the timings and the lowered the divider.

I just think that X2's have trouble doing more than 3.0. Everyone I've seen with an X2 usually is under 3.0. Very few are over it, and those that are usually are on WC with an enormous overvolt.

Let's just see what the 65nm chips bring us :D

[AthlonX2]

i cant get my sciencemark over 1072 i dont know why i have tried everything i can think of,and we are going to h ave new rules for the club regarding who is able to join they are as follows:must be member of tpu for 30 days and have a minimum of 50 posts,an regarding the running cpus at same speed i dont understand what the deals is there?maybe if you enlighten me on the issue we can discuss implementimng something there?

[stevorob]

I think your score is low because of the 1gb of RAM. Isn't sciencemark supposed to be a complete system test, rather than just CPU, and I guess a limiting factor is your 1gb of RAM.

I guess, idk lol :)

[AthlonX2]

well im going to add another gig of hyperx and see what happens

[stevorob]

Should bump you up to at least 1300. Looking through the site, I noticed that all of the higher scores were running with 2gb of RAM. The lower ones were sitting with 1gb.

[AthlonX2]

added another gig and only got 1068,lol not sure what the problem is

[stevorob]

uh :wtf:

That's so wierd....

[AthlonX2]

ok i overclocked to 2.5ghz and got 1370,maybe that extra gig helped a bit? thats the first time sciencemark recognized my overclock also,weird...........

[stevorob]

300 points, that's good. More tweaking, and you should be in the 1500 range.

[Wile E]

Oh and as a point of reference, @ 2.5 mine scores 1335 with 1GB ram @ 833MHz 4-4-4-12. So your score isn't actually lookin bad.

No the 1GB ram makes no difference.....if you look at the Sceincemark 2 tables Alec Starr is running 512MB ram for the test and is in the 1400's.

It IS mainly 2 things for Sceincemark.....CPU speed and Ram speed, RAM timings are a little less important, it's all about Bandwidth and Bandwidth does not rely on Ram quantity, run SisSandra memory bench and check your bandwidth, if you are near to 7000 then its fine, 6000 and below and there are some tweaks there that need doin.

[Tatty_One]

Pepsi, IM me you current settings, multiplier/FSB/ram speed/CPU and chipset Volts etc etc and I'll get another 100Mhz out of her with ya!!

I goofed. My above mentioned test was at 2.4 and 800. At 2.5 and ram at 833 4-4-4-12 my score is 1385. I'm gonna try to run a test at 2.5 and 1000, just to see the difference. Well, if my ram will hold up to that anyway. lol

[Easy Rhino]

so im at 2.55v at 1.45 and things are running very smooth. my ram timings are at 3-3-3-8. from 2.5-3-3-6. im running 255x10. i want to push it further! ive got tons of power and i think my ram can handle it. i saw some of you guys loosed to 3-3-3-12. im gonna try this later today and see if it allows me to go beyond 2.55ghz. i can still crank out some more power to the ddr so...wish me luck! :rockout:

Well, I got into Windows at 2.5GHz and 1000MHz, but Sciencemark failed. So, in the interest of science, I ran it at 2.5GHz and 500MHz 4-3-3-8 1T. Scores a 1297. 88 point difference with the only change being ram divider and latencies. I expected it to go down, but not by that much.

Try upping the volts, she will be good to 1.55V, she should be good for 2.7 Gig on that and it's perfectly safe, I had a 4200 x2 and got 2.9Gig on 1.55V but of course stock was that bit higher. Just watch the temps as the volts really do pile on the heat, my rule of thumb is that if you can keep her below 40C at idel then you will not hit anywhere neer the 60C max threashold.

I answered your question in your other thread!! Look, forget about the memory at the moment, that should be your last concern when overclocking your CPU, just set the memory divider low so memory speed will not be an issue so you can clock away to your hearts content, once you hit your CPU max then you play with the memory divider to see what the best memory speed is coupled with your CPU, if you find then with the mem divider you are only getting say 190 (380) and to up the memory divider makes your memory run too fast and she will not boot, thats the time to buy faster memory and up the divider but until you have acheived your highest CPU overclock by using various CPU multipliers/FSB speeds you wont know that answer so DONT BE HASTY! :D

[Tatty_One]

I need to start an AMD overclocking workshop! Judas (and anyone else who is struggling to acheive what they think is their overclock objective), let me know by IM the following:

Max CPU multiplier
Current CPU multiplier setting
current overclock (therefore FSB)
current chipset voltage
current CPU voltage
current memory divider
memory divider options (1066, 800, 533, 400, 380, 333, 266, 133 yawn:rolleyes: )
current HTT divider
Cooling
current CPU idle temp

I will then look at ways I think you may be able to make some gains, of course my responses will be somewhat generic as I do not know all your motherboard BIOS parameters but what I can say is that rarely have I not helped members to make at least some gains!

PS: I can boot to windows at 3.4Gig on air but not Prime stable so I do not include it in my specs, I can only run stably All tests at a max of 3.25Gig but that will do!

To achieve my 2.84GHz overclock, I raised the memory divider from the stock of 5(800MHz in bios), to 8(533 in bios) and loosened all of my latencies as loose as I could get them(just to be on the safe side). At that setting, my ram was running at 710MHz, well below the rated 800MHz. Once I found my max stable overclock on the processor, I started to fiddle with the ram dividers and latencies. Got it from 710MHz 5-6-6-18 to 947MHz 5-5-5-15, but it was a struggle getting it there. My board has serious hot and cold boot issues above 250MHz bus speed.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I had to set HT multiplier to 3x

[Tatty_One]

First thing for Judas would be to get rid of the 10x multiplier! First rule of thumb, always try to acheive your max CPU overclock without dividing your CPU, if you can acheive higher dividing fine, a few systems act more stably with a lower divider/higher FSB but the majority do not, simply because by placing a divider you are artificially restraining the process. Quite often also (but not always) the higher FSB will generate more heat, it is not necessarily true that 2.8Gig will always be about the same temps with the same volts, quite often 10 x 280FSB will run hotter than 12 x 234 or 11 x 255. And sometimes 2.8Gig on 12 x 234 will boot on less volts than 2.8Gig at 10 x 280, from my experience in any case with my old Bartons, Venice, Manchester 4200 x 2 and current San Diego.

I have been there before with sceincemark, I ran it about 3 months ago and the 1st run I got 27.....yep thats on ots own ....27, 2nd run I got 8288! Wouldnt take that too seriously, a venice 3500 at 2.4Gig is much like a slug on a skateboard lol, faster.....just not THAT fast.

[Namslas90]

I think you might want to run that test again there have been many glitches like that in the past/present. A 6k to 7k difference between the systems listed in system specs just insn't right.

[stevorob]

And make sure you don't close out the benchmarks before they're done too... I did that a few times and my scores were 7k+

There is no way that score is right. Gotta be a glitch.

im still having problem with mine, i get rele crap sm2 scores, sometime i can stay stable at 2.74 then when i go to 2.8 science mark wont complete the test and it freezes, one of u gyes told me that its because i have 1 gig of ram and then another gig but 2 x512mb stick so they not running dual channel, it sucks doesn it?i would expect to go at least 2.8 GHZ on air with ma processor, ah wellwhat can u do? an no buying a conroe aint the answer lol.

peace out

peace outHow many volts are you feeding the cpu/ram/chipset?

[Tatty_One]

Wile is probably right, for those speeds on a dual core you are probably going to need 1.575 volts on the cpu and 1.7V on the chipset.....sorry is it AM2? was using those voltages thinking of 939.

[Wile E]

Wile is probably right, for those speeds on a dual core you are probably going to need 1.575 volts on the cpu and 1.7V on the chipset.....sorry is it AM2? was using those voltages thinking of 939.No, he's 939. And, holy crap, do 939 X2's really need that much voltage to run at 2.8?

[Easy Rhino]

No, he's 939. And, holy crap, do 939 X2's really need that much voltage to run at 2.8?

i dont think they need quite that much power. im at 2.6ghz right now on my 3800+ and it requires 1.45v. im scared to go any further! :twitch:

[Greek]

No, he's 939. And, holy crap, do 939 X2's really need that much voltage to run at 2.8?

i have mine at 2.65 and its very stable the voltage is 1.39, if i go to 2.75 the voltage has to be at around 1.425, but it obviously goes up to 1.46 but its standard is 1.425. i would like to reach 2.8GHZ and i no that peaople have done it on 939.

[Wile E]

What's your ram voltage and timings? And chipset voltage?

[Tatty_One]

It depends very much on the chip, the max I could get out of a venice 3200 on 1.55V was 2.7Gig, on my current Sandy I can get 3.1 gig on 1.425V :D 3.25Gig on 1.525V :toast: , when I had my 4200 x2 Manchester at 1.55V I maxed at 2.75Gig so I changed me mobo, increased to 1.575V and got just short of 2.9Gig.

Manchesters/Windsors? are good upto a max of 1.6V, for those of you (and me) who like to be caucious, 1.55V is as safe as a Florida shanty town in a tornado, just google, so for those who are running under that there is much more overclocking headroom, its all about temps, just make sure you are idleing under 40C and you will be OK.

Please bare in mind tho, that when you get near the chip max speed, a voltage increase will give you hardly any speed increase, for example, you may get 100Mhz going from say 1.475 to 1.525V but going from 1.525 to say 1.575 Volts (sam volt increase) may only yeild 20-30Mhz.....make sense?

[Greek]

What's your ram voltage and timings? And chipset voltage?

ram timing are 3-5-5-10, at 333MHz but i cant go up to 400 because of my 2 512mb sticks and 1 one gig stick. ram voltage is 2.60

[AthlonX2]

hey everyone in this club go vote over on tiggers69 what chip do you got thread!!!! take it easy guys and dont be blowing up moms computer just to get high scores:nutkick: ill update the scores list later on tonight

[Wile E]

ram timing are 3-5-5-10, at 333MHz but i cant go up to 400 because of my 2 512mb sticks and 1 one gig stick. ram voltage is 2.60Just for benchmarking, you may want to consider removing the 1GB stick, and pushing the clocks a little higher. Also, at the higher bus speeds, make sure you're feeding the chipset some extra voltage.

[AthlonX2]

hello all loyal members of the club it is time to update scores so if you are online please submit your newest scores and i will promptly update the list CHEERS:toast:

[stevorob]

You should try to edit the first post stating the rules of the club. If not, see if you can get a mod to add it.

[jlewis02]

I dont have 50 posts am I still in?

[stevorob]

I think AthlonX2 is going to keep to his rules about the club. I understand why, and I don't think he is going to give anyone any special treatment. You've been a TPU member since May, so be a little more active in these posts, and he'll let ya in.

[jlewis02]

It dont bother me too much any way lol.

[AthlonX2]

the posts thing dont really matter i just dont want fly by posters giving me there scores and moving on and not coming back so i just want you to be a member of tpu for 30 days

[jlewis02]

Thats good for me ill see if I can get a higher clock now that I finnaly got some good tubing for my watercooling setup.

[AthlonX2]

go for it dude see if you can get on top of the list

[stevorob]

Heh, just upped some voltages, got 2.8 stable with ram @ 934mhz :)

Too bad nbench still saw 2.7 ???? Oh well, only 3093 on that run... wonder when 2.8 will show there?

Anyways, new SM score... 1605.60. Also including some CPU-Z screenies.

OK, I see you dont need the 50 posts to stay in club,so here are my new scores

[Tatty_One]

Despite my CPU running at 3.2Gig +, I cannot really compete with Sceincemark scores against AM2 systems with DDR2 memory and cannot compete against dual core processors on the 2006 benches (unless you wanna include the complete score! :D ) but its nice to see that I am still top of the NBench pile tho! Obviously thats a raw speed bench that aint intersted in 2 cores or memory speed.....that ones my fave!

[Wile E]

Man, those are excellent latencies for that ram speed. I take it you took them to 2.3V? At the same cpu and divider I have to run 5-5-5-15-20

[Tatty_One]

Oily, what temps your CPU running at? you could bang that voltage up to 1.5 and get 2.6Gig without breaking into a sweat there.

[oily_17]

I WISH !! my board is crap ,cant change volts on CPU or RAM.

So SANTA I want a new board for Xmas.


My temps are 31C idle and 38C load.
Oh and i have AC 64 pro cooler added last week.

[oily_17]

A quick question on my temps,

Idle = 31C
Load= 38C

Do these seem right?, I use Everest to moniter temps.
I thought with new AC Freezer 64 pro my idle would be lower.

yes they seem about right, add another 80mm cheap fan to your freezer pro, put it on the opposite side to the stock one so its sucking, between the 2 they then get the hot air out much quicker and the hot air is sucked directly into your case extractor fan (if you have one), thats what I do, it will lower your CPU temps by 5+ degrees and your ambients by the same or more....a great mod for £4!!! you can just put a couple of screws thru the fan screw holes and they will slide between the fins and sit firmly and snug :D

ohhh by the way, I have a spare socket 939 Asrock Dual SATA2 AGP and PCI-E with a professionally modded Voltmod....good to CPU Vcore @ 1.55V and it is pretty fast.....going cheap!! That WILL get you to about 2.7Gig, I had a Venice 3200 and it did me!

[oily_17]

Cheers for the tip on the fan setup, will try it later on tonight.

Also will think about board and if interested will PM you.
Thanks again:toast:

Yeah, pushed 2.3 through them. Ran memtest for a while on them @ those speeds, and no errors, so I was happy.

My board will let me push up to 2.5 to them, so if I want even higher scores, I might just push another .1v through them. My ramsinks are nice and cool. I was zapping them with my IR thermometer, and they were sitting around 30C.

I was zapping them with my IR thermometer, and they were sitting around 30C.I've read more than one review on the G.Skill kits where they pushed 2.4 thru them without problem, but those aren't long term reviews, so I can't comment on reliability. Do you have the sticks with the black heatspreaders, or the teal-ish color ones? People have been getting almost 1100 out of the black ones with 2.4. I've been trying to get the money together for those or the Super Talent DDR2 800.

[WarEagleAU]

So, when I put my AMD Athlon X2 3800+ 939 in my system, with new mobo, more memory and PCIe graphics card, am I able to join this club? ::blink:: or is this just for AM2's?

[Wile E]

You can join now. The only requirements are an overclocked AMD and being a member of the forums for 30 Days.

[stevorob]

I've got the G-Skill set with the green heatspreaders.

They are a 2.0v 5-5-5-15 set. They seem completely stable at what I'm running right now, and I don't think reliability will be an issue with the temps they're running at... they stay cool, so I'm not really worried. If they burn up, I'll have the money to replace them.

[stevorob]

I believe so.

Also got the one year newegg replacement service.

[WarEagleAU]

well I havent overclocked this puppy yet. For some reason, Im not too sure I know how on this mobo

[Wile E]

Try searching around in the forums for some tips. Also google your mobo and overclock. Someone has probably already done a review with overclocking on your board.

[AthlonX2]

well I havent overclocked this puppy yet. For some reason, Im not too sure I know how on this mobo

is that an OEM board like emachines or gateway?

[AthlonX2]

ok just wanting to know if the scores i have posted for everyone are the correct scores? if not post some results and i will post them tonite before 3am EST:toast:

[Wile E]

No new scores, but I'm posting a CPUz screen, so you can add one of those nifty links on my name on the results page.

[JC316]

Grr, overclocked to 2.75GHZ and my SCmark went DOWN. Aparantly I need to do some more tweaking.

[Wile E]

Sounds like something's out of voltage.

[AthlonX2]

im thinking of implementing a new system what you guys think?

[Wile E]

Maybe just pm us the ranks, so we can add them to our sig pics. I kinda like having our own custom sigs, but I also like the ranking idea.

EDIT: What will the rank be based on?

[AthlonX2]

thinking of doing more like a "bar system" for what everyone achieves say if someone breaks 1000 on sciencemark they get a bar u know what i mean? but i would need help designing them and i would need quite a few at least 4 for sciencemark and 4 for 3dmark and 4 for nbench,



EDIT: kinda like that amd over 3ghz bar

[Pepsiaddict]

Yea how are you going to do the ranks? Total score of the 3 benchmarks? Other in mind?

[AthlonX2]

updates my last post

[Wile E]

Since we're an overclockering club, what about % of overclock?

[AthlonX2]

bar sytem based on percent overclocked? say you get a bar for every 20% you are overclocked?

[Wile E]

Methinks I like it

[Wile E]

Now, bars like a cell phone signal(stylized of course)? Or did you have something else in mind?

[AthlonX2]

I like that idea,from cold blue too red hot.:)

[Easy Rhino]

from 2.0ghz to 2.4ghz on all stock voltages! im screwing around with this setup and just figured out that i can go up to 2.4 on stock. very very nice! :rockout:

[Wile E]

That's about where mine topped out on stock volts

[MrSeanKon]

An old screen capture of my San Diego 3700+ (SuperPi 32M stable) is here (http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=18268&stc=1&d=1165491251)
The actual Vcore is around 1.5 Volts.

[Tatty_One]

Bah I can do 2.925 Gig on stock :D I can even run stock speeds at well under stock voltages.

[Easy Rhino]

That's about where mine topped out on stock volts

ahh, you have an am2 processor! see that is cheating!. just kidding.

see all this time i was adding power to these components for no reason. i think im actually going to stay at 2.4 since i can keep it all stock. thats a pretty nice overclock with not adding power if you ask me.

What are we talking about FSB overclock or CPU overclock ?

[AthlonX2]

CPU OVERCLOCK:toast:

[Tatty_One]

Can only be CPU...FSB would be a false reading, although...there is a thought....my FSB goes upto 450Mhz, I could just drop the multiplier and maybe win that one!!!

Why go up in 20%? can we not have 10%, some poor soul could work for weeks and tweak a 18% further increase and it not get recognised lol.

[stevorob]

I agree... I might be hitting 30% on my proccy... most likely though its hovering around 26-28

[cdawall]

Bah I can do 2.925 Gig on stock :D I can even run stock speeds at well under stock voltages.

adn i can do 2ghz on well below stock as well it ran stock 2ghz @ 1.38v stock was 1.5v so there you go i also got 2.48ghz on 1.55v (my boards max) if i had more volts .1 or .2 i could do 2.7ghz i had a great cpu and the board was the most stable system i have ever used

and may i mention my ENTIRE system cost less than $100 ram mobo vid card cpu it was pretty nice for almost nothing and now for the grand total of $35 i am getting an new mobo and cpu thru RMA

as for the stripe thing if you dont get over 20% oc its sad im on a stock cooler and i got 24% on mine and its s754 for gods sake also its a heat monster 130nm :shadedshu intel has 65nm out already im old news to everyopne right now

Nice! I changed.....sold....changed components on mine and I actually ended up with a cheap system but i cannot match yours for price! I sort of buy a component at a special offer price, run it for 3 months then sell it for more than I paid, I managed to get 4 Athlon 4000+ Sandys for £200 2 months ago off Flea Bay, kept one myself sold the other 3 and my then 4200 x2 for £410!!! that profit bought me my Mobo, Ram and 7900GTO.but the really good thing about a sandy is that it stocks at 1.35V which gives lots of headroom and at the stock speed of 2.4Gig I can run her at at 1.3V!

cool but i honestly dont think anything will ever top what you could do to those s754 newcastle chips they are hard to wreck oin anyway imaginable plus they oc pretty well even on stock cooling i honestly dont this any other s754 chip or even s939 could oc as well as those did

[AthlonX2]

since you brought up the topic of voltage i attempted to run my x2 3800+ at lower volts stocks speeds,i managed to get it to run stock 2ghz at 1.25v...interesting:rockout:

Very....hows about this for 1.35V........3.268Gig!

[AthlonX2]

maybe i should trade out my X2 for a single core......

[AthlonX2]

ok has anyone come up with anything for the bar? do we want to use them? we can go every 15% im afraid if we go to low people will to many bars on there sig pics and it could get out of hand,lol...........

[Tatty_One]

Sounds Ok to me, lets just look at the math, lets say a 4200 x2 owner gets 2.8Gig thats a 600Mhz overclock, 10% would be 220, 15% would be 330 so he would only get one bar?...not so sure that would really work all that well TBH.

Why not just have a bar for every full 100Mhz over stock, no-ones gonna have more than 8 or 9 and that way there is no bias toward stock speeds....pure overclock. If you thought 8 or 9 was too much make it 150 over stock.
