Need advice: Prescott 2.8 at 3.34

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

Hi,

I recently jump into the OC hobby with a new computer based on an ASUS
P4P800-865PE and a Prescott (my mistake...) 2.8E 800FSB. I would like some
advice on how to get more performance if possible or if I'm already topped
out.

System:

BIOS settings (Manual): FSB at 240, Vcore at 1.4875, Memory (DDR400) at 400,
Mem voltage at 2.65, AGP voltage at 1.7.

ATI Radeon 9800XT 256 at 450/385.

Volcano 7+ polished, tower case, two fans on back pulling in, one fan over
Volcano shouting at Volcano, one fan in front pulling out. No fan on
chipset.

Temperature at idle is 44C and load is 58C. Motherboard temp is between 33
and 37 C.

System is rock stable.

So, is this good ? 3DMark03 score 7115.

Seems impossible. If your DDR timing is set at 1:1, your ram would be
running at 480 MHz (which is unlikely for DDR400). If it is set at 5:4, it
should run at 384 MHz.

Some added information on memory:

I don't have the option of the ratio, only the speed at wich memory is
running i.e. 400,320 or 266. I just set it to 400. CPU-Z is reporting that
it run at 1:1...

That IS the 'ratio', so to speak. Your motherboard apparently does it by
giving you a choice of "what speed is my memory" kind of setting, which I
presume they think is easier to understand, rather than a fraction.

I.E. 400/400 is 1/1... 400/320 is 5/4... 400/266 is 3/2

Here is my latest run :

On the 3dMark03 front: here is my last run :

If you are really running that 3200 memory at 240 at 1:1 then you are prolly
approaching the limit of that mem. That doesn't mean you can't get more out
of your cpu. You might try changing the mem ratio to 5:4 and see if you can
raise your fsb any more. I'm assuming that is what you are interested. Maybe
not, some folks goal for OCing is to see how far they can take their mem at
1:1 and that's all they want to do. If you can take the fsb higher at 5:4,
when it seems like it has reached it's limit, run your 3DMark03 again and
see if you get a better score.

Well,

Thanks to all of you. I will try to set the memory to 5:4 and push a little
further. Also thanks for the explanation on the ratio. I was concerned about
what I read about Prescott (heat problems) but mine seems OK on that issue.

Probably not be a good idea. The memory decrease may cancel out the cpu
gain. Benchmarks will tell for sure.
