Getting a64 [MAD] - Page 2

I really don't know.

As most ATI cards don't like a FSB above 230 MHz , you can't even get to these speeds (2300 was max I could get out of it with the 9800).

I did a bench on 2250 Mhz with a stock 9800, which gave me ~20k on 3dMark 2001....

hmm, with an agplock, that is gonna give sparks...
imagine a 9800 @ 500/800 like mine with an agp lock on this kind of cpu at 2600 => 25k at the least...

r9800 pro: 440/385, & cpu on 10*227 (max stable for agp) = 22 k

Knowing it was 24/7 stable with simple aircooling and no voltage raise, it's pretty impressive. : )

It's soo hard to wait for socket 939 now my nforce2 mobo is dead.

same here, building buget rig right now

waiting for the New A64

me too...knowing it'l probably even be june before they are available suxx bigtime...

but it'll feel all the better as I have just bought one funcsurface and one 120 mm papst fan in over 6 months...nothing else, so when I'll make the big change, it'll be like having an all new pc!

so long for the [MAD]ness, as my nice cpu won't boot anymore

It had a little push when I disassembled my h2o cooling this afteroon, some pins were touched. Even though I straightened these pins, it refuses to boot.

damn

motherboard failed? RMA ?

easypanic · 7th March 2004, 20:13

motherboard dunno, I don't have anything to test.

Will send it to funcomputer, but I don't know if there is much support for tray cpu's (boxed ones are more warranty supported, isn't it?)

jmke · 7th March 2004, 20:25

tray CPU's have no warranty. :/
