SuperPI - 1M - 43 seconds

Note though my sig says I am oc'ing to 3.6 I currently am not due to a PSU issue I am waiting to get resolved. So this test was at 3.2Ghz

Wow. At stock, that is very impressive. Those P4E's sound like they absolutely scream. Maybe it's time I traded up......

Ok general dude, i was an AMD whore but you got me convinced, Intel gave us some chicks so from now on it is P4ever!:icecream:

I was just trying to make this thread a little easier on the eyes is all.

Too late. I said that four days ago. just kiding
I got three pics here, this girl has nothing to do with intel but i'll show you anyway!!!

Don't be lazy, click to enlarge.

Off topic??? yes, but for a good reason.

yeah... whatever!!! Just don't bring it back off topic plz!!!

 

[WhiteX]

No off topic Sir!
WhiteX sinning off.

OK...just one more time...P4EVER!

My P4C 3.2 at stock got 42 Seconds.. the P4E clock for clock is slower than Northwood.

Add to this that Prescotts have higher power requirements and generate more heat than Northwood CPUs and Athlon64s:

They do generate tons of heat, but hold pretty acceptable temps even when just air cooled. My system is nothing fancy when it comes to cooling either. Stock CPU fan from Intel, two fans in PSU one just above CPU, and 4 case fans to induce air flow, 2 front (pulling in), 1 side (pulling in), 1 back (blowing out).

At stock speeds I keep a steady 45c idle or 53c under full load. If I bump to 3.6 I ride at 60c under load.

Speaking of fans I did add the ATI Silencer 5 to my x800. Never gets above 39c unless I start playing with the core or memory.

Only gained 3 seconds by going back down to stock? Then NW's still hold their place. Nice. BTW, ever get my PM?

 

[cooliscool]

Yep.

Well the thing is, I did take it up to a 250 bus, but windows wouldn't boot up entirely. It got to a point where it said my system.cfg file was corrupt or missing, and to run an auto repair off the cd. I turned the speed back down to 200, and it booted right up again. Tried it several more times, still same error. I put my vcore up to from default through all levels of the voltages to 1.7, and still no luck. I don't know if it's possible with this chip (on my old P3 it was) to increase the multiplier a little and the bus to say 230-240. The way I used to increase the multiplier was with the jumpers on the mobo, but this board I have now is jumperless. Also, I managed to flash the bios in my card (see sig) to a 5500, where the core speed used to be 250 and the memory speed was 400, it is now clocked at 335 core 590 memory. But I'm still waiting on my 6600GT to get here (ordered it already) just slow delivery.

Changing the P4's multiplier is a no-go. Intel, [ sarcasm ] being the extreme OCers they are and just encourage overclocking [ /sarcasm ], hard-locked it by the die itself (since Socket 370), no way to undo it.

What about your RAM speed. Are you running @ 5:4? If so, have you tried anything below 250? All chips have different limits, so you *may* not be able to hit 250 on the dot (most 2.4Cs are very good OCers, I doubt yours isn't able).

If not @ 5:4, you should do that now, and try again (change RAM speed to 333MHz default instead of 400MHz default). If you are, try loosening your RAM timings up a bit.

 

[General Plot]

Yeah, had it set to 5:4 and at 250 was a no go. I could get it going at 240 however. But I'm kinda wanting to do anything I can to get to 3+ GHz Should I even think of going 3:2 on the ram? Man this memory sure sucks

 

[cooliscool]

You could certainly try. I doubt though at 5:4 RAM is your limiting factor here.

Do you have your AGP/PCI lock on? Usually the option will be labelled as "AGP/PCI/SRC clock" .. set that to "66/33/100."

 

[General Plot]

Yeah, I set it to a fixed setting 66/33/100. I didn't want thoses buses to be increased (no reason for it really). So I should stick to 5:4 and try bringing the ram down from 400 to 333 to get a higher cpu clock? And bring th bus from 240 to even higher and try that? Man I wish the multiplier could still be adjusted. Mreh, damn intel.
