...well are you able to bench at 4035mhz, then i'm impressed!!

I dont think its gonna happen now. I wan't able to get the machine to boot at this speed before but it does now and its ok up until the end of the benchies 03 & 01. Cant run pc mark at that though.

The machine works so much better now the as5 is in properly. I am sitting here in a (fairly) warm room at 3.8 1.65v and the cpu is at roughly 32c. I couldn't get it past 3.7 stable 2 weeks ago.

sweet chips these WU's

That's a massively high overclock for a stock ATI 9800 pro....

drakesteakn · May 2, 2004, 10:21 PM

well its got a volcano 10+ on it. it will hit 470/373. so its not stock.

Quote:

Stock: All AMD Athlon XP and Intel P4 up to 3.2Ghz, on air cooling, no volt mods, no extensive mods, changing the NB chipset cooling solution is allowed as long as it is with a passive or fan solution that is mounted in the stock location, and is stock appearing.

its air cooling and is not a extensive mod, and is not volt modded. the volcano 10+ is a small HSF compared to what i wanted to put on it but didn't have enough room on the card.

Well done Cartman. Good scores you got there.

I'm going to have to do a clean build in order to get my scores up. I got it to bench yesterday in 3DMark01 @4Ghz and got the scores uploaded sucessfully but to my horror, they were about 300points lower than what I've already got.

Back to the Drawing board I suppose.

Well done man, well deserved.

Ohh...i got the Avatar back!!!...

But i think that you'll get it back next week Logla....i don't feel like doing a new Windows install in a while, and i think that is a must to gain any higher numbers...

Do you reckon SP2 could have contributed to the low scores?

Hmmm......I am wondering if I should do a few benches and take your avatar!

But I have kept out of this competition........seeing as how I handle the contest.......I think that it would be a conflict of interest.....

Judas · May 5, 2004, 01:06 AM

Send me a PM or an email on it. Right now the lag is due to all the new stuff coming out. I am sure that it will get interesting as soon as some of these guys get there hands on some new hardware.

3DMark2001SE 20,114

3DMark2003 6587

PCMark 2004 3966

20114+6587+3966= 30667/3=10,222

Of course these are old scores......I haven't done any in a while.
