LOW 3dMark scores with my X1950pro 256mb xtream pcie

[Eric_Cartman]

and you seem to thing that fsp actually displays the running amps rather than peak, only enermax and pc power and cooling diplay the running amps, all others display the peak. thus 300 watts peak is more likely 250-270 continuous, and 100 watts of it are dedicated to the +5v and +3,3v rails making 170 watts/12v = a 14 amps continuous.not enough for a 9800xt and an athlon xp much less an x1950 and a pentium 4 630. lol

and never ever do you actually add the rails together lol. the 12v has it own rating then it's split into rails which have their own rating thus my enermax liberty has dual 22amp rails but when the 12v is calculated the total continuous amps are 36, not 44.

for an x1950 you need a decent 500w psu with 30amps peak on the +12v and 25 continuous.

and I hardly see how your rig with an x300's draw has anything to do with the original posters I mena of course an x300 won't sweat a small psu lol.

fsp does display the running amps, i don't know why you don't seem to realize that, the peak amps on that power supply are 10 and 20 on the rails.

yes, you never add the rails together, you just have to know what they are used for, which my guess is you don't

the 8a rail is the cpu and the 14a is for everything else, and 14a should be enough to power a x1950pro/hard drive/optical drive

i don't know what my x300 rig has to do with anything, i guess you just can't seem to read, if you did actually read you would see that i was talking about the rig when it had an x1950pro in it, not the x300

My P4-630 3.0Ghz is running @ 3.4Ghz now

3d mark05 7502 (1024x768)
3d mark06 4240 (1280x1024)

CPU score 1002


I must say, Im quite satisfied with my score now, my system runs stable and that with my noiseless FSP Group 300watt PSU..
Oh so quiet running system

i'm sure we're all shocked that when you overclocked your processor the score went up significantly /sacarsm

but i'm sure the ones saying it is all the power supplies fault(mikek75, yogurt_21) are probably crapping their pants right now

 

[P4-630]

3d mark06 from 4240 to 4523 with P4 630 @ 3.44Ghz

3dmark 06 has seperate scores for SM2.0, 3.0 and CPU - obiviously, its not going to increase as much there since 2/3 of the test are GPU bound.

At that level, 400 points is still a 10% gain, dont forget
