How do these 3dmark scores look?

[Sunrise089]

I have finished testing the overclock on my new PC I built, after using a 2.0gh Northwood with onboard video this is a nice step up.

This is my first complete PC build ever, so I don't think I have pushed anything to the edge.

The PC's specs are:
Opteron 144
eVGA 7800GT with copper heatsink
1x1024mb PQI 2-3-2-5 DDR400
ePox 9NPA+ Ultra

First I ran everything stock - 1.8ghz and 470/1100 and got 7257 3dmarks

Then followed the "Quick and dirty A64 OC'ing guide" in CPU forum and OC'd my FSB to 330 with a lowered multiplyer (didn't push it until it crashed since I didn't plan on needing it to go any higher.

Then OC'd my CPU to 9x multiplier and 305FSB before prime turned in an error or crashed during a 5 minute test. It would lock up at about 3 minutes at 310. I backed off 5% as per the guide's instructions and tested again at 2.65ghz and 470/1100 and got 7594 3dmarks.

Then used coolbits' "auto detect OC" and tested at 2.65ghz and 490/1140 and got 7895 3dmarks. Memory was set to a 2:3 divider, so it is running at DDR379 at 2-3-2-7. I have not attempted to OC the memory, but if I can get it to move up to the next divider (5:6) it would run at DDR491, though I highly doubt it will, still the timings seem pretty nice. Current temps are CPU - 39idle/46 load with a scyth ninja and a 120mm fan, and the GPU said it was 47 right after running 3dmark. Voltages are Core - 1.54 and Chipset - 1.6, memory at stock voltage. Now all I need to do is prime for 12 hrs, but assuming it passes, does all this look good?

looks pretty good.

Just put a new rig together myself:

AMD A64 X2 3800+ @ 290x9=2610 MHz
eVGA 256-P2-N515-AX GeForce 7800 GT (NV Silencer 5 Rev.3) @ 496/1201 w/rivatuner
1GB OCZ EB DDR PC-4000 Dual Channel Platinum (9:10 divider) @ 3-3-2-7
DFI NF4 SLI-DR Expert

Gets 8173 in 3DMark05

Nice job man! I got 2.7ghz on my opty 144 with the same mobo, and i've got a opty 165 on the way with a jetway mobo (only second to the DFI when it comes to overclocking, with better overall performance), and a zalman CNPS9500 cooler (cools just about the same as water).

Looks real good I can only dream of the 7500+ om 3dmark05! I have tried many configurations with my cheap x800gto and most i get is 5486
which isnt bad when you compare to other cards. Almost on par with 6800 ultra.

You should try taking video mem up some see if u can get above 8k

Once I finish running Prime for 12 hours and pass i will probably upping the memory and/or clock a little more to get to 8k. If I can get 6 more mhz out of my FSB and 10/60 mhz out of my GPU core and memory respectively I will have 2.7ghz/500core/1200memory, which I will be VERY pleased with.
