Is 3000+ hotter than 4200+ ?

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

@GeekyBoy
with that board u can oc a max upto 400~450mhz. But first what u want to do is to install as much as 80mm fans in ur cab. Better use one or two intake and some 2-3 outlets.
Enter the bios nd disable cool n quite nd under "jumperfree configuration" keeping the CPU multiplier at 9x(max for VM) slowly raise the cpu bus and follow the steps mentioned above.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Im at 2.75 Ghz nd at idle the temp is 41~42 nd at full load it has reached 58~59 nd on running cpu tester pro for 10-15 min it almost reached 61.
Im using very elaborate air cooling but the temp seems beyond control.

Since geeky boy has Zion memory......his system will crash!.....coz Zion cannot take oc more than 10MHz (atleast recommended!)....

When u increase the FSB the memory clock will also increase.....so if u take the FSB to 210MHz then the memeory clock will be @ 210MHz i.e 420MHz (DDR).....

SO first force the ram to 333MHz or 266MHz (according to the increase in the FSB)........
Then as u increase the FSB start the PC and run Prime 95 for 5mins each time..............and after 350+ - 500MHz+ run Prime 95 for 6hrs........also after u finalize the OC...

Also keep checking the memory speed through CPU-Z...at each stage...and make sure it does not go above 205MHz i.e 410MHZ (DDR)...

@aravind how have u fixed that 80mm fan below the gfx card?

coz Zion cannot take oc more than 10MHz

Hmm .. at stock latencies (3,4,4,12!!!!!!!!) , my zion modules can go upto 240 MHz stable for 6 hrs. Prime ... But with forced latencies of 2.5,3,2,6 , it hardly manages anything over 215 MHz ...

how u r taking snaps of cpuz & uploading it.tell me.

Run CPUz ... Press Alt+PrtScr ...

@gaurav_indian
Ive not fixed them. but it just stands on four lengthy screws as seen in the pic.
In case of gamin I place it below Gcard nd for other work like HDD intense like defrags i move it to HDD side or the chipset side. Its a good way of cooling as there is a rich supply of air from front intake(cannot be seen on pic) nd the fan on screws throws the air to gcard nd which escapes through the 3 PCI vent holes on back of cab.

@deathvirus_me
can u give your 3D mark scores nd some other benchs which u have/can run??I think 2x1GB makes a lot of difference.

About 135xx in 3DMark03 , 62xx in 3DMark05 , 33xx in 3DMark06 ... though i never benched with the oc'ed CPU ... i should get a bit higher scores i think .. check this link out : *www.techenclave.com/forums/rig/viewgallery-265.html

I do remember hitting 6400+ with the card running at 510/1200 ... but hey .. 62xx isn't bad at all .. i got the running up at 540/1350 ... but i didn't dare to bench , as i don't have a good enough PSU ...

you bought the wrong rig. I keep telling people not to buy that motherboard yet they buy. sorry, but not my fault.

What is wrong with the A8N-VM apart from lack of oc ability? Anyway I too have Athlon64 3000+ & Asus A8N-VM combo, 1 GB RAM, onboard audio & video and my idle temp is 49C. While playing FIFA WC 2006, temp shoots up to 56C. I have 2 x antec 80 mm fan plus an additional cheap 80 mm fan. Applied Antec Silver thermal compound but there is no change in temperature and i have given up.

Run CPUz ... Press Alt+PrtScr ...

its not working?whts wrong?

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

Make sure the window is higlighted ...

 

[samrulez]

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

are....
Just press Print Screen.........and then go to MS Paint and Edit---->Paste ...
Voila u have a screenshot! But of the full screen...

To take a shot of only CUP-z press Alt+Print Screen and go to paint and paste it there...

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

@samrulez
its a bit confusion...for a newbie say like this:
first click the CPUz window nd make sure its the active window nd hit alt+prnt scrn, nd go to paint nd paste it nd move the resize slider to fit the image perfectly nd save it.

Ive benched with 3D M 03 nd 06 @1024*768.
13571 points in 3D Mark 03
and
4204 points in 3D Mark 06.
[06 details
sm 2.0 score 1668
HDR/SM 3.0 score 1634
CPU score 1880]

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

@deathvirus_me
can u say why Im geting such low scores???Im having 2.5ghz dual core ..then why??I think 6800GT will be lot better than a 7600GT. Ive even oced my GPU to 600/1520 from 560/1400. Is it due to limited 1gb mem??Can u suggest any wat to increase those scores??Adding an extra Creative Audigy value sound cards will make any difference???I think they(3D mark) benchmark the sound chips also nd adds to the total score..
Ive underclocked the HTT to 850mhz(1700 effective) as Ive oced the CPU,GPU, nd mem. Do I put back the HTT to 1000??will it affect the score much?
__________
Also Ive been terrified with some clocks shown in ASUS Ai Booster window. It sometimes shows some kinda terific clocks like 4GHZ and voltage shoots upto 1.49 from 1.43. But its normal in CPU Z. It happens only for a few seconds nd will become normal...Whats this happening to my PC????
see this:

here the product of CPU busn nd multiplier gives only around 2.7 but whats this happening??

4204 points in 3D Mark 06.
[06 details

Get back to stock settings of 1280*1024 ... anyway ... ur 3DMark06 score is slightly uncomparable , as it highly favours a dual core CPU (which does effect the final score) ... 3DMark03 / 3DMark05 would be good enough ... though ur 3DMark03 score should be slightly higher .. but hey .. nothing much to worry about ..

And ur 7600GT is better than a 6800GT .. infact , even my 6800GS is better than a 6800GT . i.e. a 6800GT at stock speeds .. the 7600GT / 6800GS OC can easily take on or do better than a 6800U ...

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

ya ya Im now downloading 3D Mark 05. Its too big. And In which res do u benchmarked those?. Also What was the setings on the nvidia ctrl panel while benching?

What bout that 4 Ghz?? Im a lil afraid. Will I get warranty if CPU or mobo burns out?

 

[deathvirus_me]

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

Well , i doubt that 4 GHz would be stable .. i can boot into my OS with 2.8 GHz , but its not stable ... anyway ..

bench using default settings .. set IQ to "Performance" and No. of frames to render ahead "3" .. for benching only .

And look at this :

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

bUT i DOUBT ITS REALLY 4GHZ...In CPUZ it shows mormal

 

[deathvirus_me]

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

Did u see that Hot CPU tester results ?? Except the first test batch , i get better scores than ur X2 4200+ oc'ed .. ru sure this utility is a good one for benching ???

 

[dOm1naTOr]

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

The test seems single threaded, thats why..
__________
While benching with cpu tester the cpu utilization is as low as 20~30. And cpu seems to be relaxed. Why so??

 

[dOm1naTOr]

Re: Is 3000+ hoter than 4200+ ?

U had better scores as then I was running the mem at 3-3-3-8 @400. Now the scores has changed. So I think Hot cpu tester is good even if its single threaded.
