First thing for Judas would be to get rid of the 10x multiplier! First rule of thumb, always try to acheive your max CPU overclock without dividing your CPU, if you can acheive higher dividing fine, a few systems act more stably with a lower divider/higher FSB but the majority do not, simply because by placing a divider you are artificially restraining the process. Quite often also (but not always) the higher FSB will generate more heat, it is not necessarily true that 2.8Gig will always be about the same temps with the same volts, quite often 10 x 280FSB will run hotter than 12 x 234 or 11 x 255. And sometimes 2.8Gig on 12 x 234 will boot on less volts than 2.8Gig at 10 x 280, from my experience in any case with my old Bartons, Venice, Manchester 4200 x 2 and current San Diego.

i just got the new high score

i just bought an exotic cooling system for my cpu and i now have the highest science score lol with a newcastle beat that conroe cpu's lmfao

 

[ATIonion]

i doubt that man...sounds like a glitch....9400 in SM2....lol...

 

[Athlon2K15]

thats score seems a little exotic.......lol when the cpu is only running at 2.4ghz? im not doubting you just saying it seems out of place

no im not kidding thats the score i got

 

[ATIonion]

C'mon does this seem right either???


ATIonion's SM2.0 Editing Services...need a higher score? Just ask the onion for help...lmao...

 

[amd64skater]

1912.40 is my score not that insane number

C'mon does this seem right either???

I have been there before with sceincemark, I ran it about 3 months ago and the 1st run I got 27.....yep thats on ots own ....27, 2nd run I got 8288! Wouldnt take that too seriously, a venice 3500 at 2.4Gig is much like a slug on a skateboard lol, faster.....just not THAT fast.

 

[Namslas90]

I think you might want to run that test again there have been many glitches like that in the past/present. A 6k to 7k difference between the systems listed in system specs just insn't right.

 

[stevorob]

And make sure you don't close out the benchmarks before they're done too... I did that a few times and my scores were 7k+

There is no way that score is right. Gotta be a glitch.

 

[cdawall]

big glitch i scored over 10k before then ran again and was normal

Yes i know i was just playing around in the bios though any help is welcome i can get to 2.9 ghz but its a bit unstable and if i push any more it wont boot

im still having problem with mine, i get rele crap sm2 scores, sometime i can stay stable at 2.74 then when i go to 2.8 science mark wont complete the test and it freezes, one of u gyes told me that its because i have 1 gig of ram and then another gig but 2 x512mb stick so they not running dual channel, it sucks doesn it?i would expect to go at least 2.8 GHZ on air with ma processor, ah wellwhat can u do? an no buying a conroe aint the answer lol.

peace out

How many volts are you feeding the cpu/ram/chipset?

 

[Tatty_Two]

Wile is probably right, for those speeds on a dual core you are probably going to need 1.575 volts on the cpu and 1.7V on the chipset.....sorry is it AM2? was using those voltages thinking of 939.

No, he's 939. And, holy crap, do 939 X2's really need that much voltage to run at 2.8?

 

[Easy Rhino]

No, he's 939. And, holy crap, do 939 X2's really need that much voltage to run at 2.8?

i dont think they need quite that much power. im at 2.6ghz right now on my 3800+ and it requires 1.45v. im scared to go any further!

 

[Greek]

No, he's 939. And, holy crap, do 939 X2's really need that much voltage to run at 2.8?

i have mine at 2.65 and its very stable the voltage is 1.39, if i go to 2.75 the voltage has to be at around 1.425, but it obviously goes up to 1.46 but its standard is 1.425. i would like to reach 2.8GHZ and i no that peaople have done it on 939.

 

[Wile E]

What's your ram voltage and timings? And chipset voltage?

 

[Tatty_Two]

It depends very much on the chip, the max I could get out of a venice 3200 on 1.55V was 2.7Gig, on my current Sandy I can get 3.1 gig on 1.425V 3.25Gig on 1.525V , when I had my 4200 x2 Manchester at 1.55V I maxed at 2.75Gig so I changed me mobo, increased to 1.575V and got just short of 2.9Gig.

Manchesters/Windsors? are good upto a max of 1.6V, for those of you (and me) who like to be caucious, 1.55V is as safe as a Florida shanty town in a tornado, just google, so for those who are running under that there is much more overclocking headroom, its all about temps, just make sure you are idleing under 40C and you will be OK.

Please bare in mind tho, that when you get near the chip max speed, a voltage increase will give you hardly any speed increase, for example, you may get 100Mhz going from say 1.475 to 1.525V but going from 1.525 to say 1.575 Volts (sam volt increase) may only yeild 20-30Mhz.....make sense?

 

[Greek]

What's your ram voltage and timings? And chipset voltage?

ram timing are 3-5-5-10, at 333MHz but i cant go up to 400 because of my 2 512mb sticks and 1 one gig stick. ram voltage is 2.60

 

[Athlon2K15]

hey everyone in this club go vote over on tiggers69 what chip do you got thread!!!! take it easy guys and dont be blowing up moms computer just to get high scores ill update the scores list later on tonight

 

[Wile E]

ram timing are 3-5-5-10, at 333MHz but i cant go up to 400 because of my 2 512mb sticks and 1 one gig stick. ram voltage is 2.60

Just for benchmarking, you may want to consider removing the 1GB stick, and pushing the clocks a little higher. Also, at the higher bus speeds, make sure you're feeding the chipset some extra voltage.

 

[Athlon2K15]

hello all loyal members of the club it is time to update scores so if you are online please submit your newest scores and i will promptly update the list CHEERS

 

[Wile E]

*sigh* Still haven't gotten any further
