Hey everyone!
I've just finished tweaking my new rig!!! My laptop blew up (lightning) and i hated the Dell, so borrowed my mum's credit card and started building.
<= Spec is on the left!
Ok... Overclocking!!!
I didn't have a lot of money, so I went for a couple of sticks of 512mb 533mhz DDR2 ram by Vdata, which overclocked great! They're running stable at 700mhz 1.95v in dual channel mode!
I got the Intel P4 640 3.2ghz, and that's gone streight up to 3.9ghz With a max temp of 65*c
Went for the Club3D X800XL, which is an awsome card for the money! I've yet to put some ramsinks on it, but it seems to be performing great at the min. I'm hoping to get it up to 6000 3dmark05 points somehow, but it doesn't seem to want to go any further I've tried turning it into a X800XT, with a bios i modified. There was 1 XT that had the 2.0ns memory, so i got that, changed the clocks, flashed... then realised the r423core bios didn't like my r430 core very much! Flashed it back, and it's fine. I also tried a Genuine ATI bios for it, but this actually lowered the performance and max clock speeds :shadedshu
I really need a new PSU... I had very little money, so was forced to go with a cheap'n'nasty 450w psu from a company called 'mercury.' This thing sucks soo badly. When i do benchmarks or play games, i see a 0.6v fluctuation on the 12v rail...
I got a lovely clear acrylic case with 5 80mm fans. Seriously... there is almost a tornado forming inside!!! LOL
Ok, benchmarks!
All my 3Dmark scores are in my sig.
In Everest, this is what my memory Did:
Read: 7364mb/s
Write: 2324mb/s
latency: 77.9ns
According to everest, the ram timings are 5-6-6-2. Not sure if this is good or not for DDR2.
Anyway, all comments/questions/tips are welcome!
I also have Sandra, but the benchmark scores are confusin as hell!
