Benchmarking teh Athlon 64

[Zuntar]

I have been overclocking, and running some benchies. I have come to some road blocks, and need to see what you guys think and PLEASE offer you advice.

System Specs are in my sig. :cool: There are several important details that you must know.....

1. My new rig currently lives in the garage (unairconditioned) while I finish my bonus room. I'm doin this myself so im spending alot of time workin on the room ,but almost done.
2. I think my biggest battle so far is my Graphics card. It tends to wigg out on me, locking up and such. I can push the cpu/mem quite far as long as i don't bench the graphics card.
3. My mem cycle time (Tras) is now set 10.

Heres some of the results..

AquaMark score = 48256 (CPU:10023, GFX:6354)
3DMark 2001SE = 18083
3DMark 2003 = 5614

whats ur vdimm at?

[Zuntar]

2.7v, why?

Muskin specs for these modules is 2.6V to 2.8V, but othe website under mainboard qualification they state " Black level modules may require DDR voltage of 2.8v". It does not state anywere whether or not my mem is black level.
here is there bench (http://www.mushkin.com/isroot/Mushkin/images/k8n_4000_buffered.bmp) for the 256Mb x 2 modules @ 227Mhz FSB

INCREEAASSEEE!!! :D

you must have a nice chip (memory) there if you hit 228@2.7v

I was editing when you last posted citrix, does that help?

[citrixmeta]

nono, you got great mem there, you need to bring up ur vdimm, ur safe until 3.3v.

Actualy, the sandra score for the mem bandwidth was done at like...... 243 FSB 7X multiplier, 3x hyperthreading @ 2.7 volts. My norm is 10x multiplier, 4x hyperthreading.

Well, my mobo only goes to 2.85V. :confused: I have more questions about OCing but i'll post that to the OC section.
