My 4Ghz+ Project

exactly my thoughts.
don't forget to run memtest to around 1500% to be sure, and dual prime95 for 24hrs at least.
i'd like to see some other benchmarks :D like a superiPi maybe
and some cpu temps! lol
lol too bad my processor's running slightly faster than an FX-60 right, i beat yours on both multimedia, and the second arithmetic... and the first arithmetic is very close...
my rams still faster tho lol, by 200-500mbps depending on where i have it. its ran stable for me at ddr532 before..
god i hate the limits that they put on pictures in this forum.. how did u get such high quality pics in here?

btw why are you running the outdated version of sisoftware? lol i believe they have a new "lite 2007" out.

Ummm fade2green- your RAM speeds are really slow, i get like 2150mbps. That doesnt make any sense if your CPU is goin faster than an FX-60.

50C is extremely high for 65nm... 64C is max for 65nm... that'd mean that 50C cuts cpu life a lot..
especially for an arctic cooling freezer... most people said that their cpu's never went over 50C in a full load... unless their idle temps were higher lol in which case they don't know what they're doing...
also, 1.5V is extremely high for 65nm as well. i'd be careful with that voltage up that high.
also, did you run dual prime for 24hours? lol
and memtest 1500%?

depends on how well you apply it, and how you apply it.
if you took the IHS off the cpu, and lapped the heatsink down to a mirror finish, or around 2500-3000 grit you'd probably stay below 30C idle, and with a better fan, below 45C full load (yes at 4ghz)

what in the world?
what are you talking about?

also, omega.. what you're forgetting is that sisoftware isn't the only benchmark. i bet my processor would beat yours in almost any game out there at any quality (not to mention the video card lol). besides, i haven't even pushed my processor to the limit because i don't like my temp to go above 45C at any given point. i never got water cooling, instead i decided to try lapping the cpu IHS and heatsink (i may even remove the IHS to gain 5-10C) and so far ive gotten an extra 5-10C out of the 2500grit finish that i've achieved.
pentium D's are better at some things, and i customized my system for some multithreading and a lot of gaming.

you had to push yours to the same voltage as mine to get slightly below my performance... mine can handle a lot more voltage because its 90nm, 1.6-1.65V some have even reached 1.85V before (however unsafe and cuts the cpu life in like 1/8 lol, though they're running at like -20C in full load LOL)
90nm will create a bit more heat... but its also sturdier and can handle more heat (and more voltage)

Is that ll you do is brag about your system? Obviously yours would be better, since you have a 7800GT. And i've seen some systems that got there 65nm up to 1.74v from ~1.3 stock. 50C is high, but the reason its so high is because i raised the voltage alot, and im trying to work out some better cooling for both the cpu and voltage regulators.

And if you look at your sig, it says 6.8gbps, which means gigabits per second. To find out the actual speed, you divide that by 8, so your saying that you get around 870MB/s. What you meant to say is that you get 6.8GB/s.

Heres one thing to note about your CPU over mine, it costs more than $100 than mine does, so its obviously going to be better, and it's and AMD so it performs better in games.

Thank you everyone else :)

He meant 200 to 500Mbps faster, than Omega's.

yea, thats exactly what i meant.
I've scored a 7.15GB/s before.
sorry i didn't capitalize the B for you, i didn't realize you'd get anal about it lol..
and no offense, but i think a 2.6ghz Athlon 64 X2 is something to brag about, just as your PD at 4ghz. I mean really, 2.6ghz is considered a plateau for most Athlon 64 owners, just at 4ghz for most Pentium 4/D owners.

lol i desperately need a new power supply though, i don't think it can take the voltage im giving my proc...
its got like a single 12V rail, at 24A lol... no PFC or nothing... its ridiculously bad, even though its specified at 580watts..
im thinkin about getting dual power supplies... a nice and cheap 1.1KW lol (2x550watts)

either way though, you gotta admit... these computers are damned fast lol
once i get a new power supply i think ill take the IHS off my cpu and try for 2.66ghz... the voltage i need just can't be handled by the thing!! lol my comp just SHUTS OFF when i set the voltage too high... if cpu or memory were limiting the mobo would just reboot.

as for your 1.5V, im just saying be carefull.. the guy at 1.7V 65nm probably either had vapochill, or melted his cpu lol...
i thought 1.6V was high for 90nm, that's all im sayin..

Um...2.6 GHZ isn't something to brag about. Also, some people don't want to hear it. It's not easy to do but it's not like it's uncommon - many people have gotten overclocks up that high and some higher.

Especially since this was my thread :rolleyes:
 
OMEGA, how simple was it for you to get to 3.6GHz before? Did voltages need to be increased? How were the temps? Instead of a X2 4200+, should I get this processor, save a bit of money, then have a chance to get Conroe when I save up some money?

It was very easy to get to 3.6Ghz, thats the highest i can get without extreme voltage increases.

I had to raise the voltage to 1.365V (1.3-1.4V Stock). Temps were around 20C idle, and around 32C load.
