dbwillis joins the "C" club

[dbwillis]

Well, ordered my parts..should have it in a few days..

DFI Lan Party, 875P board
2.6C RETAIL chip
SLK-800u heatsink


Ill be reusing these parts from my P4G8X:>

4x512mb sticks of XMS3500c2PT
Leadtek A280 Ti4200, 128mb
Maxtor 160gb IDE (till a Raptor replaces it)

LiteOn DVD burner
Sony CDRW
LiteOn CDRom

It was a hard decision between the IC7-G and this board and a 2.4C..but the last review (posted in another thread) swayed me..
Im just hoping to hit maybe 225-240fsb, hence the 2.6C

-wheres that "how much have you spent" thread!:chit:

Guess Il have to do some lapping as well to the P4 and the SLK :deviltail

[Chuck232]

Wow... 2GB of RAM huh?

Hopefully the OEM will overclock as well as the Retail. I've heard people saying that OEM P4Cs have not been doing well.

And keep us updated! :D

[ThugsRook]

welp that settles it.

i now have noone left to talk to cause i am the only person left running a 533cpu and pc2700 :look:

maybe ill do a pen drive review or something.....

[dbwillis]

You dont say..I only read a few and thought it was a toss up...overclocking too well..Im not aiming for a high OC..just 25fsb or so...I can still change the order...decisions.....:beat:

[Mikki]

I'm still here Thugs.....tho no one will talk to me cause I'm using a Matrox at the moment....:rolleyes: :wave:

Now wait minute! I'm interested in the Matrox P650. You are not alone. :) However, I did just sold my last Matrox card. :( I need to find out if the P650 will work in Linux because three of my four boxes are now running on Linux. The fourth is my wife's computer more so than mine. Matrox provides drivers for Red Hat but I will not switch to Red Hat just for a video card. :rolleyes:

[pastorjay]

Well, I just got me a 400fsb 1.8a to mess with... had it given to me by a friend...so, why don't you downgrade THugs so we can talk again...

Man that's a lot of ram. I smell 3.4 mhz in your future, good luck!

[dbwillis]

Changed it from 2.6C OEM to 2.6C RETAIL...

PC2700? I thought you are running KHX PC3000.

[ThugsRook]

there is no such thing as pc3000.
just like there is no such thing as pc3500.

;)

[oldfart]

I agree. I was wondering what you meant by "PC2700".

From what I see, most memory is made from either 6 ns or 5 ns ram chips. Most ram "sold as" PC2700, 3000, 3200 uses 6ns chips. Most ram "sold as" PC3500, 3700 and 4000 uses 5 ns chips. The 3700 and 4000 stuff just has really terrible SPD timings to get higher clock speed and a 3700 - 4000 label.

If you do the math,
6ns = PC2700
5ns = PC3200

It's all overclocked from there.

If that is the case, I am also running PC2700 since Corsair XMS 3200C2 r1.1 also use 6 ns chips. So do quite a few others.

So, everyone is really either running 6ns or 5ns ram of some sort.

[Chuck232]

Except for the TwinMOS PC3700 which uses their 4.3ns RAM...

[ThugsRook]

aida32 will tell you exactly what your memory is (motherboard/spd = 6ns pc2700)

Got the baord this AM...the 2.6C is a Costa Rica...:rolleyes:

Ouch... Costa, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Some people have been doing good o/cs... Just not me. :(

[Chuck232]

Ah, my P4S533 and 1.6A ran like a champ @ 2.4MHZ. Nice board AND chip. :)

[dbwillis]

Board seeems to be running like a champ...the 2.6c too...great temps (22/44) and Im prime95 in now at 265fsb, 1.60vcore, 5:4 2-3-3-7 (2gb~4x512!!)

[dbwillis]

Upddated the BIOS (I know, shoulda done that long ago) to the 72203 one..

---Aida32
read-4825
write-1959



7-22-03 BIOS

---Aida32
read-5205
write-2014

--new setting called 'user bandwith', set to HP3...high perf 3...PAT still shows disabled in Cpu-Z v1.19...but scores went up...

262fsb, 5:4, 2-3-3-7

[ThugsRook]

nice improvement :rock:

[dbwillis]

DFI sent me a new beta bios @ work...ill try it out tonight...

[dbwillis]

Well, I recently reattached the IHS on my 2.6c COSTA and traded it for a 2.4B~SL6RZ.......

Heres that I had for the setup and the benches i n 3dMark2001se #330

Heres the 2.6c:>
13998--45.23 @ 290x601 (2.6c @ 1.60v, 255fsb, 5:4, 2-3-3-6, no PAT)
13604--45.53 @ 275x575 (2.6c @ 1.60v, 255fsb, 5:4, 2-3-3-6, no PAT)

Heres the 2.4b:>
13606--45.33 @ 285x601 (2.4b @ 1.60v, 180fsb, 1:1, 2-3-3-6, with PAT)
13986--45.33 @ 285x601 (2.4b @ 1.60v, 180fsb, 1:1, 2-2-2-6, with PAT)

The @2-- x 5-- is the vid card overclock..

[ThugsRook]

interesting.

and dont forget the 2.4b doesnt have HT, so its even keeping up at a disadvantage. (prolly from the faster cas 1:1 and PAT)

:wave:
