Woooooahhh: new OFFICIAL PII speed record

[TheCrow]

Lol

 

[johnnyfiive]

Woooooo.

 

[trickson]

When I see some benchmarks that will convince me LOL ...

 

[InnocentCriminal]

This is only the beginning.

Here are some air cooled OC results. No benches yet. Blame NDA.

(this was done using the 9950 stock cooler, awesome.)

stil hast beaten the highest mhz overclock 8ghz by P4

[Castiel]

That is awesome.

 

[KBD]

what cooling was using to achieve this? i hope its water though i really doubt it, prolly phase or LN2.

why do you constantly post in AMD threads if all your going to do is be negative?

 

[JrRacinFan]

OK here's my take on the low dram speed:

To obtain higher clocks you must relax the memory controller with lower dram speed. Hmmm ...

Anyone else agree? Now this is just speculation for myself that lower dram speed would help acheive this.

+1. Onboard memory controllers can get taxed.. I blew out a few sets of Crucial Ballistix and Corsair XMS ddr2-800 running over 1100MHz, and CPU over 3.4GHz. The OC shown is most likely on 1.5Vcore..

4.0 was done on air with a 9550 cooler (stock one from the phenom 9950). The 5.0+GHz were done on LN2.

ooooo Nice and on my MB also....Shwing...

I am not being Negative!
and i am not allways posting in amd threads
is it illigal for me to post in amd threads?

apparently ...

it was a completely off topic post that made no sense and just compared the AMD with something its not even remotely trying for


and if all your going to do is say hey i have an intel or intel did XX better than AMD then why post there?


if your going to post post something useful otherwise your either spamming or trolling its as simple as that

 

[razaron]

if the pII's are around the same performance as core2's clock for clock and priced just right tha would probably make me move onto the dragon.
and morgoth's allowed to diss amd, his signature says so

 

[dark2099]

HT speed is ~213 MHz, will really hurt performance if you want to run at that speed.

From everything I heard about the AM2 chips currently that doesn't matter at all, and if the architecture of the PII is similar than shouldn't matter either. Heck on the i7 it supposedly doesn't matter if you have HT on or off for benching.

 

[spearman914]

Why block the voltage??

 

[Nick89]

Pity only CPU-Z validation is available: would love to see a realtemp 2.8x+ screenie of that as well since it would record low and high temps.

Realtemp only works on Intel processors I thought.

 

[cdawall]

part of NDA?

 

[HTC]

Realtemp only works on Intel processors I thought.

Ah, yes: completely forgot

The reason i mentioned that particular prog is because it can monitor current, lowest and highest temps achieved while running, which was the intention.

Forgot about NDA.

That is not the HT speed, that is the Bus speed it will not hurt performance. Normal bus speed is 200mhz.
