First of all I will list my pc.
Pentium 4 2.6c
MSI 865PE NEO2 LS
Prolink PixelView GeForce FX 5900 256MB
2X256 DDR333 Corsair XMS Low Latency Series
Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 120G SATA HD 8mb buffer
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
LiteOn 48X24X48X CD-RW 16X DVD-ROM Combo
Acer 16X DVD-ROM
I downloaded and installed the new Detonator v52.13 beta drivers (which dont have support for the 5900 or 5900ultra listed in the text file). Flashed my mobo bios to newest 1.7. and jumped my FSB up to 240. I continued to up the FSB in 2Mhz increments then test with 3DMark03 two demos: Proxycon & CPU test 1. I reached a FSB speed of 246Mhz (X4 so 984Mhz and CPU speed of 3198Mhz) before having to up voltage. I raised the cpu voltage to 1.5750V from 1.5250V and the memory from 2.5V to 2.7V. I continued to raise the FSB with the same steps as previously discussed. I reached a final speed of 256Mhz or 1024Mhz and cpu speed of 3328Mhz before stoping. Idle temp of 31C and 38C with load.
I clocked the video card from 400mhz core and 850mhz memory to 446mhz core and 950mhz. Although after updating to the beta drivers from the 45.xx auto detecting now tells me that I can reach 497mhz core and 1ghz memory clock which isnt very real. oh and another thing, normal temp is 40C and after the beta drivers it is now 50C.
After all the above I ran a 3DMark03 bench with all except for the last sound test (unsupported by audigy gamer). After the full bench I recieved a rancid score of 6350. When using the the 45.xx drivers I can recieve 7500+ with these clock speeds. Hopefully Im just seeing a good thing, improvments in the driver for games and not benchmarks.
So, what do you guys think I can get this comp upto just by increasing the clock speed and voltage? Any suggestions? Drivers, bios updates, ect.
I hope to hear some good suggestions lol and maybe a few bumps lol.
