my new 64 pc is here (wow)

[herptrader]

I just built my new pc and I have to say I am impressed.
I wanted to say thanks to everyone for their advice and help.
Below is what I decided with.

I am in no way a fan boy of any cpu .and over the last 5 years I have had the pleasure of owning the latest and greatest pc products, because of my job.
I just came from a p4 2.8 and an xp 2700+ and this CPU is great, for those that are considering buying a 64 it is well worth my money.i would buy it again
Now I was a NVIDIA fan but not any more. I am very pleased with my new ati.
Thanks again and if I can answer any questions just let me know




AMD Athlon 64 3200+
GA-K8NNXP
ATI SAPPHIRE RADEON 9800 PRO 128MB
Mushkin 1GB PC 3500 Level 2 Dual Pack
ANTEC TRUE430
HD 160GB|SEAGAT
ZALMAN CNPS7000A
Lian-Li PC-65 USB-B with Transparent side

im glad to hear that you are thoroughly enjoying your new pc, it looks to be quite the beast

 

[SilentZero]

Congrats on the new setup. It sounds great. Now its time to overclock that new 64!

 

[jar5tyle]

Awaiting pics

very nice setup btw

 

[herptrader]

Any tips on over clocking? It?s been awhile since I have tried it.
I will get pics tomorrow
Running at 2.2 with now tweaking. Click here

 

[pillage2001]

What was the default speed?? What voltage is it on and temps???

 

[Duvie]

Are you running that on sandra 2004??? The reason I ask cause I find it funny you have the chip 200mhz oc'd and the pr estimated is 3300...Usually on all amd's I have ever seen that is much higher then even the amd pr rating....

My p4 2.4@3.24 get slike 3600's for estimated PR...My wifes 2100+ oc'd to 2700+ levels gets 3000's for estimated PR...

I am basically saying I don't think sandra sees it possibly right!!!

 

[Xenon14]

what do u do that requires top of the line computers, if u don't mind me asking...

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

3dmark scores

 

[herptrader]

Ok I have started playing over clock.
Any advice?

Yes these are for Sandra 2004


Here is some info
CPU voltage ?1.500v
Agp overclock is?66
DDr voltage--+0.1v
The CPU temp is 48 c
Any advice?



I make 3d models for video games and so on.

I know nothing about bench marking so do you have a link to download 3dmark? Thanks
2.22 and here is the link

3DMark

 

[herptrader]

3DMark Score 5191 3DMarks

3dmark click here

 

[OverVolt]

Nice! now u gotta OC ur R9800Pro like me! I've already hit R9800XT speeds. here's the download link for radclocker, lets you change GPU/mem clocks from the display properties > advanced tab, there's other utilities out there. I got lucky on my card with 400Mhz Samsung DDR ram 2.8ns

 

[arcenite]

Is it just me? Or do those 3dmark scores seem low for a 9800 pro? My Rig with a 9700 pro gets 53xx.

I still think it is strange for 220mhz clock increase he gets an estimated Pr rating of only 130....Sandra 2004 with a Barton 3200+ gets above that...what is the deal??

So how is that memory tweaked??

AMD cut back on the PR rating, it's suppose to be much more conservitive on the 64 this time around.

 

[Duvie]

OK!! I guess then the question would be is what did sandra 2004 say the estimated PR was at default 2.0ghz 3200+???

 

[Twista]

skip the newest 3dmark and run 3DMARK2001 ;p show us theses scores.

 

[BD231]

herptrader: Can you let us know what your temps are like?
