1.2gig Thunderbird @ 1.5gig

[DARRIN]

Just got my 1.2gig & A7V133 system running. It's running stable at 1.5gig. Ran 3dMark 2000 for 2 hours at 10X150. Sandra CPU benchmark is 4298/2096. I got the Mushkin Rev3. I took the Northbridge HSF off and put some Arctic Silver heatsink compound on it and a bigger fan. Used Alpha Pal6035 heatsink. Going to load up Q3 tonight and do some timedemos.

I'd love to see the screenshots of WCPUID and Q3!!!!???

 

[DARRIN]

I just e-mailed my cpu test results to you.

 

[DARRIN]

Haven't loaded up Q3 yet. I will post demo fps maybe tonight or tomorrow.

I wonder if its possible to water cool the northbridge.

<< I wonder if its possible to water cool the northbridge. >>



you can watercool anything you want, so long as you have the time to find/make a small enough water block, and make sure the hoses don't hit anything

 

[Mikewarrior2]

What kind of cooling are you using?

Good job Darrin. A few questions for you. Is your ram running in cas2? 4 way interleaving on? etc.. agp 4x enabled? what core/io voltages. Thanks

 

[Mustanggt]

Where did you buy it??

 

[Alfred]

why don't you run it at 11*133, it will definitely faster.

 

[shiznut123]

Congrats!!!
Nice Job!!!

 

[lane42]

alfred, i could be wrong but i think the more fsb the better.

10x150 will definitely outperform 11x133.

Higher FSB + Higher end MHz = More speed

Mikewarrior2 - Alpha Pal6035, 38cfm fan, Arctic Silver.

marooned - Mushkin 128 megs Rev3 running 150Mhz 2-2-2. Not sure about interleaving. I thought that was for 2 or more sticks of memory. Had to bump core voltage to 1.85v. Agp 4X &amp; fastwrites enabled. Didn't mess with I/O voltages.

Mustanggt - Got it from PeachPc.com. They shipped it out the next day and I got it the day after that. They are only one state away. Week 2. $268 I think it was.

I'll post Q3 results asap!

 

[DARRIN]

Pay - I'll get that to you as soon as I can. I'm having problems with my internet service provider and can't access my e-mail. I'll get it to you soon though.

Dual 1.2's sitting at 1.5 on a 760MP, OMFG i wanna cry now:Q

 

[nealh]

darrin did you change any of the jumpers on the mobo it self on the A7V133 or just through softmenu??

 

[Assimilator1]

Darrin
Nice PC ,it would be interesting to see how fast it would run SETI

And yeah 10x150 will be faster

 

[DARRIN]

Quake 3 results. High quality settings - 129.7 fps

1024X768 with everything wide open - 82.2fps

1600X122 with everything wide open - 28.8fps


pay - on the way.

NICE MOCHINE YA GOT THERE,I didn't get the email,is your mail still down?

 

[DARRIN]

Sending it again right now. I had to change my email address because my crappy ISP wouldn't recognize my username. I sent it to the address in your profile this afternoon. I thought it went through but I guess it didn't. Let me know if you don't get it. give it a few. It is 1.3megs.

 

[White Widow]

Could you post a result for Q3 at 640x480 standard 16-bit?

Thanks,
Aaron

 

[lundog22]

does it help alot to put a better HS/F on the Northbridge?
