Test System Specs
Intel Prescott 2.4A Prescott, 533FSB, 1MB L2-Cache, Non HyperThreading
Thermalright SP-94 w/ Thermaltake 90MM # 9025A-2B (56CFM/35DB)
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe, Bios 15
2X256 OCZ 3700 Gold, V1
BFG FX5900 @ 470/980
WD 36GB Raptor on Sata 1
Enermax 431watt PSU
XP PRO-SP1, Detonator 53.03s
Let?s dispense with the pleasantries and go straight to Overclock results.
--------------------------------------
Benchmarks @ 190FSB, CPU @3420Mhz, DDR @ 2.5-3-3-7, 4:5 ratio running @ 475Mhz.
CPU vcore @1.5v (1.424-1.456v under load)- this chip likes juice, DDR @2.85v
System running in a Lian-Li PC65 with 4 21CFM Panaflos. For CPU benchmarks this was sufficient but when benching with an O'clocked chip and O'clocked Video card performing graphic benchmarks it was necassary to remove the side panel to keep the FX5900 from crashing to the desktop. I've got some Sunon 40CFM fans coming to see if that will be keep the graphics card happy with the side panels on.
First up some Gamimg Benchmarks:
GunMetal BenchMark 2-BM1:
Min FPS =19.69
Ave FPS = 31.95
Max FPS= 62.07
----------------------------
X2 Rolling Demo, Default settings = 116.98 FPS
----------------------------
3dMark 2001SE, Default settings = 18394
----------------------------
AquaMark3
GFX =5832, CPU =9346, Total Score =44444
----------------------------
Memory Scores:
Aida v3.85 Read/Write = 5356.2037
----------------------------
CPU Scores:
Sandra 2004 CPU Arithmetic
DHRY = 8927
WHET = 2271/4196
---------------------------
Super_PI 2m = 1 min, 33 Sec
--------------------------
POV-Ray 3.5 Benchmark v1.02 = 31 Min, 4 Sec
---------------------------
Pretty solid performance from this chip not sporting Intel's current 800FSB or Hyper Threading technology. CPU temps were reasonable using the top notch SP-94 HSF although things got a little warm when the FX5900 heated up.
Here's a look at CPU and MB temperatures under load. System was loaded running Super-PI 32M and POV-Ray Benchmarks concurrently.
First the sytem was run loaded for 15 minutes with the Lian-Li side Panels removed:
Temps are CPU/MB
15 minutes = 43C/31C
At 15 minutes the side panles were refitted and system was left under load and checked at 30 and 45 minute intervals.
30 minutes = 50C/33C
45 minutes = 51C/34C
