having fun with Prescott - Page 5

I read on XS that you might want to wait for the P4A 2.8 instead of the P4 2.4 , they seem to be even better.

there was not a good contact between prom and CPU, so fixed it.
now I have below zero degrees on cpu on normal speed.
if overclocked to 4.4, it goes to +10-15° in bios.
stressed = don't know, can't get that far

4.2 is stable as hell, 3D, PI, prime (15min test).

got a 4.3 ghz 3D01 out of it

you definately need that x800xty and pelt it

Gamer · 31st May 2004, 17:22

hehe, was first try.

with the 9800Pro, I don't think my score will be much higher then with the Northwood.
it was a 1K difference between a 4Ghz Northwood and 2.8Ghz A64 power.

nevertheless, this is a CPU with potential.
maybe I'll do some benching with the X800Pro on both of them, but I'm almost out of sealstring.

Don't you re-use it?

Gamer · 2nd June 2004, 17:08

That is unreal! I really like the prescott. Do you have anyway of determining what your motherboard powercircuitry is running at? You have a AI7 right? I thought I saw the PWM reading in your review?

I love my Prescott. I went and got an A64 3400 and Chaintech ZNF3-250, and this system really sucks. It's decent for 3D (of course with the X800Pro it would be) but the dang CPU just can't break out of it's shell. CAAOC best I do is like 220FSB, when AnandTech got 262FSB with one DIMM, and 246FSB with 2xDIMM's populated. In the first they had to drop HyperT to 3x in the latter 4x. I just got the Corsair 3200XLPRO LL and it's not helping the on-die MCH, so I'm stuck. Any suggestions? No BIOS updates for ZNF3-250 (last Cheaintech mobo I get). $180 Digi-Doc with no external thermistors. jeeeeez

RichBastard I would highly recommend getting the Prescott, when you get up past the 3.6GHz the benefit of the 1MB cache becomes evident......
