P4G8X PCI Freq Testing

These tests were done using a PCI Bus Analyzer

AGP/PCI Lock Test

With the freq setting set at 33.3mhz, I tested each fsb setting from 133fsb to 170fsb. The lock worked fine, without so much as a flux.

At regular intervals I ran a benchmark and copied a large file from my cd-rom in an attempt to load the bus, and the freq never wavered.

I also tried setting the freq setting at different freq?s and at different fsb?s and all seemed to work fine.

AGP/PCI Auto Setting Test

This is where it get?s interesting. I set the freq setting to Auto, and then tested each fsb setting from 133fsb to 170fsb. Here are my results:

PCI Bus Overclocking Test
33.3mhz to 38.7mhz worked as advertised, settings above fluxuated as follows?
39.0mhz = 38.9-39.1mhz
39.3mhz = 39.2-39.3mhz
39.6mhz = 39.5-39.6mhz
39.9mhz = 39.8-39.9mhz
40.2mhz = 40.1-40.3mhz
 
good work, its nice to see independent confirmation that the lock works. Did you use the Vics20 RD2 PCGeiger. I have one and it wouldnt register correctly when I tried to use it on my 8INXP.
 
Yep, that's the one...did you try the bios settings suggested in the manual? I know it doesn't work on all boards, but it'll work on some boards using those tweaks...good luck! 🙂
 
whadda ya tryin to say jhites? 😉

gotta admit, X-Isle demo sniffed out that "no 1/5 pci in auto" bug pretty darn well 😀 (in my p4g8x review)

And that is why you are on my Elite pro's list. 😛
 
Thugsrook, feel free to add some or all of this to your thread, I'm sure it'll be around a lot longer than this thread will be...😉
 
Nice job Mikki🙂.That is strange 1/5 doesn't work at all on auto.Kind of defeats the purpose of auto doesn't it.:frown:
 
Thugsrook, yep, 207fsb---and I ain't done yet...😉 Thought I'd give the emmy one more go before I sell it...🙂

Yozza, the lock works perfectly up to 170fsb, haven't tested further yet...🙂
