4Ghz CPU Power - Overclocking the P4

Overclocking/Overclocking Tests by Gamer @ 2003-05-09

We take a brand new Pentium 4 3ghz with a 800Mhz FSB, put it into the ASUS P4C800 and hook it all up to a Prometeia system. How does it perform in everyday applications? Find out in this article on future CPU power

Test Setup

The ATI Radeon 9800Pro has just become available in Belgium, so we're still waiting for it to be delivered at our doorstep, in the meanwhile we’re using a Geforce MX440 to power this P4 monster :)

  • Asus P4C800
  • P4 3.0Ghz 800FSB
  • 2x Corsair PC3200LL
  • Geforce MX440

    Using the dividers provided by the Asus motherboard we managed to reach up to 1100Mhz on the FSB while the ram is running at 216Mhz using the maximum timings CL2 2-5-2.

    At default 3ghz speed it is just a little bit slower then AMD XP Barton 3000+ flagship, but at its newly acquired 4ghz it outperforms everything:

    At default is has a comfortable lead over the competition, when overclocked it almost doubles its advantage, closing in on 6000Mb/s !
