A64 3200 @ 2.74 on a nforce 3!

[Regs]

Holy

He is running a 5:3 divider Vcore at 1.75 . I can't imagine a 3700 A64.

Can you just say, holy hell?

 

[ScrapSilicon]

holy hell

 

[MDE]

:Q That's fast.

 

[Corporate Thug]

wow thats fast but i wouldnt be comfortable feeding my A64 3000+ 1.75V. this isnt a 1700+ where you can simply buy another one if u burn it

edit: i really want a vapo

or is it...

Whoops,

It's on the nforce 3. I think he did one where it flopped at 230 FSB on a via chipset, still pretty good for a ASUS via KT800 without PCI/AGP lock.

Crap, this will be the 3rd mobo I would be reinstalling. Maybe in a few months.

holy he//! :Q

:Q... I guess this is as close as we're gunna get to the S939 3700+'s performance right now.. and I like it!

Now stick one of the puppies with a RV420 or NV new generation. Half life 2 will play like a breeze. RV420 coming out just in time for tax returns! With Bush Jr.s tax cuts + school deductions, whoa.

meh

 

[wicktron]

This is like a common thing over at XS, people here are surprised. Haha.

 

[Tab]

Damn thats fast. Anyone want to explain to me how clock core speeds are defined and how these dividers work? Not to mention why does overclocking screw with AGP/PCI bus speeds?

 

[Regs]

I don't think I can be the best guy to answer for you tabb, but heres a bump for the morning crowd that hopefully can answer.


I just tried to get my ASUS to 2.3. I got mixed results; bad and worse. It either didn't make that much of a difference on my PC or, even worse, over heated my Radeon. Gave me a scare thinking I killed my 250 dollar graphics card.

Better off waiting until the 3700 A64 than to attempt this on a Via chipset.

Prometia, the same cooling that gets pentium 4s to 4.3ghz.

Narf!

Yep. in fact majorslaughter posted about his A64 hitting 2.73ghz here in the CPU forum on a K8V back in October using clockgen when he and a couple of the other XS guys were bouncing back and forth for the 3DMock2k1 lead.

EDIT:LMAO! I just looked and that's actually the thread he started about the K8V and A64. macci points out the clockgen on the 2nd page

 

[Regs]

Yeah, I tried the clockgen. The highest I got stable was maybe 2.25 with a 5:3 divider. But thats maybe because I didn't want to push my vcore to 1.7 . For a guy to say he's unemployed, he sure has a lot of money to spend. He could kill his 400 dollar CPU and 300 dollar GPU all in one shot, props to him.

Side note: I think ever since the HTT came along, running a A64 on a divider isn't that big of a performance hit anymore.
