I currently have a Newcastle Athlon 64 3200+ (2.2 GHz, 512 KB L2) with an Asus K8V SE Deluxe. I've been running benchmarks exclusively these past couple of days and, although my system wasn't configured with the best of everything, I believe I should be getting better scores than I have been receiving. First I will finish listing my specs so that everyone can understand what I'm working with here.
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 2 sticks 512 MB CAS 3.0 (i know, crap, but who cares!!)
PSU: Fortron 400W FSP400-PFN
stable at +3.3 V : 3.312 V
+5 V : 4.999 V
+12 V : 11.584 V (I know it's a little low, but I've got a dvd burner and cd drive, SATA150, etc.)
CASE: MGE G-Box 8011
TEMPS around 35C idle and close to 45-50C load for CPU; MB around 35-45C
GPU: Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB (Retail ATI)
I just upgraded to the latest VIA Hyperiod 4in1 drivers (4.51) and should have my other drivers and bios up-to-date. I do use Cool n quiet, but tried these benchmarks with it off and my graphics settings set to optimal performance.
Here are my scores in 3DMark, PCMark, Aquamark, SiSoft, and Super Pi:
3DMark 2003 (340) - 5904 (decent) CPUMark - 615!!! http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=2742619
PCMark 2004 - 4257 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm04=2455215
SiSoft Sandra 2004: cpu arith: 12935, cpu mult: 43555, mem band: 5285, file system: 48234, network/lan: 688, combined: 2654
Aquamark - 42186 (CPU: 8293, GFX: 5658) (again, somewhat low CPU, decent aquamark score)
http://arc.aquamark3.com/arc/arc_view.php?run=481210280
Super Pi : 1M in 49 sec (kinda low), 4M in 4 min 5 sec (slower than a 3000+)
Don't get me wrong, these scores are alright, but I just want to know if there is some configuration that I have incorrect or drivers that I am missing. Anyone else with this board and CPU, please let me know if you have experienced similar problems and how I would approach it. I know it doesn't have to do with timings because of this Tom's Hardware benchmark: http://www20.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20040119/index-07.html. As you can see, I should still reasonably expect at least 700, and I know there are many people with similar configurations who have 650-700.
Thanks.
