2900 bios clock tool

[mandelore]

Um, something is not right with that score.
Here is mine right here

914.63/891 VDDC 1.263/MVDDC 2.250/MVVDQ 1.892 Cat 7.11
3DMark Score 13169 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score 5599 Marks
SM 3.0 Score 6266 Marks
CPU Score 3221 Marks

Using ATI Tool with a XT using XP (none modded bios). Even though we are not using the exact same specs the score doesn't look right based on your OC. Can I suggest that you try again after a cold boot?

Cold boot wont help, its all down to the cpu atm. Once I get me a better cpu in january i believe im in for some rather nice big 3dmark scores

I got a copy of 3dmark06 with my new maximus formula mobo so im keepin me a project, cant wait for the new cpu

either way, even tho my cpu is running around just under 2.9ghz, on my opty setup, at a higher clock of 3ghz i only got 10,400 in 3dmark 06, so its a big improvement (1000 points just with a cpu change, and not a higher clocked one either)

its all pretty exciting

going to do a flash

 

[DaMulta]

I'm getting error 0fl01 and can't update the bios....

 

[mandelore]

u used -f in the flash command? to force the bios?

What proc are you looking at for the formula just pick up a Formula currently running the
e6600 but looking to up in the new year
on a side note have you wired the temp sensors on the board [waiting for mine to arrive ] was interested in how they preform

on my peace of paper I had p writen twice instead of f then I relised what I had done.....

I'm at 1.35V ran a 3d06 at 900Mhz on the stock cooler If I was on water Hmmmm


For the PRO card

Dang thats realy nice, you give me hope. Can't wait to get my PSU.

 

[DaMulta]

I think I'm going to turn it down to 1.3 instead of 1.35. I artifact 858-900

 

[Random Murderer]

somebody needs to contact shamino and have him make this 38x0 compatible!

And preferably give us some fan control. lol.

I have mine at 1.4 all the time with stock cooling.

I Play games at 830 but need a new PSU because when something goes boom in a game my Comp just turns OFF.

So I bought the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad (Black).

 

[DaMulta]

How do you have it at 1.4?

 

[AphexDreamer]

How do you have it at 1.4?

Oh crap my bad, I mean 1.35 For some reason I thought the max was 1.4 NVM.

I can happily bench 3dmark at 945MHz core with 1.35volts, obviously i can set it higher via atitool, but that dont stick, which is pretty gutting, coz im not breaking 65C under looped 3dmark at that core speed and voltage, id think id easily break 1Ghz core with a higher sustained voltage

@ Frogger, im thinking of the Yorkfield Q9450 or similar, tho torn on whether to infact get a wolfdale and clock it higher, but ive never had a quad and want to future proof myself. I hooked up the northbridge fusion block on my formula SE to my gpu loop and everything runs nice and cool, hasnt even had an effect on the gpu temps, damn that thermochil pa120.3 is good getting another one to stick on my cpu loop, ill get another TEC/pelt if i can afford it

I have seen peeps take the fsb well over 500mhz, and have had this e2140 with its meagre 800fsb to over 1800fsb stable, but i think thats at the wall of its ability, and since its locked to 8x multi max, i can go higher. not that it matters as its just a stop-gap cpu

one would wonder if the price diff would make it worth while

as to the fusion block did you re&re it with a better TIM droped my NB temps by 10c @1..65v

Intel Core 2 Duo Wolfdale E8xxx (top dualcore) = 3.16GHz, 6MB L2, 1333MHz FSB, LGA 775 ~260$

Intel Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Q9550 = 2.83GHz, 12MB L2, 1333MHz FSB, LGA 775 ~530$

or just get the:

Intel Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Q9450 = 2.66GHz, 12MB L2, 1333MHz FSB, LGA 775 ~320$

has the add 6MB one the L2 for only $60 & just run the clks up

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Can others who completed the bios mod post some benchmark results?

 

[AphexDreamer]

Waiting for my new 750 Watt PSU to come so my comp won't turn off when I Bench LOL.

Keep in mind I have a Pro with Stock cooling, but I won't let that hold me back

Benchig my Pro with Stock cooling at 900mhz

Lol, puttin the Chief to rest! I love my quad! Speaking of chief, I gotta get rid of all this stuff before I get on the plane. I think I'm going to be brain-dead.

Im getting the Same PSU you have, glade to read you like it.

Damulta you think I'd be able to hit 900Mhz or would my CPU hold me back?

hehe, well I get 11,500 in 3Dmark06 with my cpu at a meagre 2.8ghz, 2900xt @ 940 core

also check out the fur benchmark for improvements solely due to increases in gpu clocks with modded bios's

 

[DaMulta]

Despends if you have a good card or not.

CPU only holds back the score.

I'll take 2 of ur water blocks please

Well I'd say they are all preaty much the same, but remember, we both got them preaty much when they first came out.

 

[EastCoasthandle]

anyone else have any mod bios results?
