and i thought my 2.40B @ 3.40 Ghz was a good overclock....
ah well, its time to kick up that VCore to +10% (still using +5% here)......

Thats definately one nice overclock
gonna try upping the voltage a little?
what cooling u using?

I have close to an 800 MHz OC going on now @ 1.648-1.664v. I am trying my best to keep below 1.70v. (It is hard though :p ) I can run stable @ 3950 MHz, but the voltage exceeds what I am comfortable with for a 3.06.... I can boot into Windows @ 4GHz, but it shortly freezes.

If you look at the benchmarks, it really is not as impressive as it could be. I can live with 3806 MHz / moderate VCore if paired with a good dual channel DDR mobo, but there is nothing out there that I like..... Yet... ;)

EDIT: I just heard a "pop" like sound, and it scared the hell out of me.... turned out to be the TV :) The thought of that 3.06 that HardOCP blew the heatspreader off of with phase-change cooling flashed into my mind at that moment... :Q

you do!!! No offense to technonut but you paid a lot less (maybe 1/4 of cost to get within 400mhz of him)....


technonut I was about to say Holy Shite!! on the sandra scores until I saw 2003 pro...I have the free download version and evidently they aren't scored the same cause my scores at 3.258 w/ 452ddr was CPU: 8997/4274 MM: 12873/16453 MEM: 3452/3450....My PCmark2002 score were very similar and in proportion to yours...

No offense taken.... gsethi has a great OC going on, and I think I told him so in his thread.... :)

As for Sandra Pro, AFAIK it benches the same as the freeware version. I just run the benchmarks and report what comes out. The scale of my benchmarks seem to be in proportion to me considering the FSB, memory ratios, and timings.

EDIT: In comparison, here are Sandra results from the same BH7 with my 2.4B C1.. Same WinXP Pro install, same version of Sandra Pro.... The only thing I did differently was to install the 3.06 and enable Hyper-Threading...

3014 MHz / 167.5 MHz FSB / VCore 1.552 / RAM (4:5) 2-7-3-3 / 418.7 MHz

CPU: 7893 1738/3943
MEM: 3098/3088
MM: 12020/15274

EDIT: Another comparison... here are the Sandra results from the Gigabyte SINXP that I had @ 3880 MHz:

CPU: 12068/3348/7355
MM: 17899/27685
Mem:4140/4139 (422 MHz 2-7-2-2 dual channel)

I just downloaded it the other day...It says 2003....

ref cpu (3.06ghz p4) CPU: 8164/1717/4007
ref cpu (dual 3.06ghz) CPU: 8953/2632/5738

quite a bit different....

I have sissoft version Standard Unicode (32-bit x86) 2003.3.9.44....


I had old version and just added this one...should I have removed the old one and then installed this one??? I have had multiple versions before but maybe this didn't overwrite completely....It appears to be newer then yours...

I already did.... I uninstalled the Pro version and whacked all of the registry entries. I installed the version that you have... @ 3806 MHz...

HT Disabled.... CPU: 9921/2194/4942

HT Enabled....CPU: 11532/3282/7353

So, it appears that my benchmarks with HT enabled are consistant between the Pro and Standard Sandra versions...

NOw that looks right...Sorry...I should have thought about the HT effecting it...My bad!!! damn must be a nice performance boost running 3.8ghz with HT enabled...

Your cpu score at 3.06ghz is better then a person running non HT could do with a 3.4ghz cpu....The multimedia scores of 21700 can't be done as far as I can see...I can do 3.33ghz and that only get 17000...you are over 20+% oer that and would then require like a 4ghz non Ht cpu....

I would love to do a divx encoding and say capturing some live TV from my AIW card and see how that works...

This has probably been posted elsewhere before, but I just noticed it... I found a software driver mod Here that gave me a 572 point jump in 3DMark2K1 without OCing the Radeon 9700 Pro. From 16723 to 17295. Not bad huh? ;)

EDIT: 3DMark03 in @ 5120...

Thanks... :) This Kingston Value RAM is great. I have 2 512MB sticks that both like to party... The BH7 seems to have trouble with the 3:4 ratio past 160 MHz FSB. I have run the PC2700 Value RAM rock solid @ 456 MHz before. (2.8v / 2-6-3-3)

That is an insance overclock. But not as insane as those 3dmark guys with 4.1-4.2ghz :).
