I'm not sure who in this forum likes to overclock, well, if you do; let's start something. You guys name a benchmark, and everyone who O/C's will try and compete for #1 at that benchmark. There will be no prise awarded but the fact of knowing your #1 at that particular benchmark for this forum.

These would be my list:

3DMark 01'
3DMark 03'
PCMark 04'
AquaMark 03'
PC Pit Stop
SuperPI


What do you guys recomend and want?

to me PCpitstop with a screenshot

That's one vote for that, and it sounds good to me. I'll do some O/Cin and try and get my best score later.

Im not afraid to crank her up a little and post usin 3dmark 01, 03 and PCpitstop.
Will post some later.

Nice biggie. If you guys DON'T like to overclock, so be it. Run any ways, let's see what people are getting. We could have a stock competition too, if the non O/Cers are interested.

Also guys, c'mon I know there are more benchmarks then that. I know most of you don't like the futuremark ones,

Not much interests in benchmarks, this is going to be hard. Well, tommorow I'mma try and max my new stuff out. So far my current score is just over 21k in 3DMark 01' @ 3.4 ghz, 283 5:4 @ 2,6,3,2 with radeon @ 455/375

I'mma run all the benchmarks that I my self have chosen out, sinec everyone is picking from my list, doesn't make that hard.

Cmon guys, for the good of the site, let's see what ya can do.

I'll reget some of those programs and try them out also. Gonna be stock as I am not quite that brave.

That's fine bull.

4880 on mark 03. slight o/c on cpu, none on vid card....yet

Well, I spent 4 hours benching today. It sucked. But I got some numbers for y'all.

3D Mark 03'

3D Mark 01'

PC Mark 04'

Aqua Mark 03'

Impressive.

Ya.. fell short of my expectations though.. 7K is my target for 03', I'v been told it's going to be hard on stock cooling.. bleh, I'm close enough..

OK, here we go...

3D Mark2003 - 5410

3D Mark2001 - 14447

PC Mark 2004 - 3516

AquaMark result browser kept pissing me off...

GFX = 5,360
CPU = 5,933
Total = 36,937

Very nice bull. If you were runn 166 fsb those'd be really sexy scores

I got the Memory clocked up where it should be anyway.

my memory was at about 230 or so fsb

I'm just happy to see I ran very well compared to similar system. I can be very happy with that.

Yep. Nice scores, the 14k one is the only one that is questionable.. but 01' is very memory dependent an such, thus the 133 hinders you heavily in that one. I should run at comparable clocks and see what I get.. underclock to 133 that'd be liek 1,700 mhz or something

My mem is clocked at 175 now, I believe that is where it landed anyway.

from pcpitstop


One or more partitions are using the NTFS file system. Although this file system offers many good features such as encryption, security, and improved reliability, it is often slower than the FAT32 file system. However, we do not advise switching back to FAT32 just to increase disk performance scores.

Take that crap with a grain of salt pap.

As far which is faster....depends.

Read this Pap, I think youll see why NTFS is the way to go.

Odd, I run NTFS and never got such a message.

on pcpitstop when you test goku

Where?

Inquirer O/Cs Prescott to 4300 MHz... that's 4.3GHz to you GoKu freak-boy O/C dude.

Hehe... I don't like Prescotts. They may be quite nice with the new i915 chipsets, or the ATi ones because on the new ATi chipset they showed to be faster clock vs. clock against the NorthWood P4 cores. That should be interesting, on current i875 it's slower clock vs. clock. Guys, I'mma try and get this going again if anyone here has gotten any new hardware, I'm not sure... but if you have, lets see it... I think I'm still getting that x800Pro so expect some numbers hopefully from me...

EDIT: I have a buyer for my card, I may get one any way... gunna cost me another 150 outa my pocket though... maybe more

I am new here, but overclocking is my game... So here are my results...

PC Mark 04 lastest build - 5273

3D Mark 01 - 24386

3D Mark03 - 7073

SuperPi 1M - 32s (see screenshot)



System details-
AMD Athlon64 3400+(2.2GHz) @ 2805, 1.92v
Shuttle AN50-R S754 motherboard - volt moads to get higher vcore and vdimm
2x256 PC3500 Mushkin LVL II (BH-5 chips) @ 2-2-2-6, 255HTT(FSB), 3.4v
GeCube 9800Pro "Extreme", ram sinks and Artic Cooling VGA Silencer (no volt mods)My maximum overclock is with ram at 5:6... And for those unfamiliar with A64 stuff, HTT is FSB X800Pro results in a week or so...

Zodiac those are some very nice scores.

Bull - we both have nforce2 motherboards, and most nforce2 mobos will allow you to raise the FSB to near 200, if not 200. Mine goes stable at 200, anything more gets unstable. So with max bandwidth and my CPU at about 2100-2150 (differnet benches at different times) there is no reason why the Lobby part of 3dmark 2001 has the same score as me with my geforce3 card. You have a radeon 9800 pro... also on some benchmarks on pcmark, there were some definite differences in certain tests, which probably has a lot to do with the FSB speeds and memory bandwidth.

Yes, impressive.

I am gonna have to rerun some of the tests. Turns out I had a bad 9800pro. It died soon after that and was replaced. I will try again when I get time.

zodiac, very nice. What cooling solution. Sounds like DI/vapo/mach 1/2 to me... I'm in the process of getting some new ram and a v-mem done to my board so I should be up there with you before long (21k current max)

Looking at the 3,500EB stuff as I cant buy the 3700EB (can't find it) and its good for 260+ mhz 1:1 @ 2.5/2/2/x at decently low volts, so at around 3.4 ish I'd say 280 1:1 if my board will take it... I also have that same ram

Also in the midst of trying to get my hands on a Vapo but not too sure that's gunna go through. It's nice to see someone else on the board with o/cing skills (not that I have much, but )

…industry wide benchmarks for wide system testing, and ideology behind the usage…
…the majority of benchmarks…
by me...,


…the idea and use of a benchmark is to view contrast and comparisons between different hardware...this includes all components of anyone system, as long as they are within the same field of usage...improper usage would include comparison to only 1 brand or exclude sets of components, or 1 computer...thus, the elimination of your personal computer, tested within the limits of itself, and scores and times compared to that system only...

…limiting scoring and times to only 1 type or set of hardware also breaks mold, and misappropriates the use of the benchmark in question...also, benchmarks that distort or skew scores and testing methods are not to be looked upon as benchmarks, but marketing tools...of the later, there are many...output would merely be random numbers...

…it is up to the personal consumer to make sure that he or she uses benchmarks, or WIDELY used testing methods that are accepted as equal, and unbiased...

…if you are tweaking or upgrading your system, benchmarks can be useful, but are not the proper method of use...one should test fps in a game, say for video types of testing, calculating operating system boot time with a stop watch...there are many ways to look souly at ones system to get a feel of improvements...to use benchmarks for this purpose is wrong...

…ideology limits the use of benchmarks to certain aspects of system performance as a whole, this is accepted on large scale, and is now industry accepted...to test certain areas of processing power, memory transfers, hard disk read/write speed or application load times…these areas are normalized and packaged by themselves, or within a larger set as a benchmarks...

Sid, not gonna say anything to you except: that is probably the most profound and intelligent post I think I have ever seen you post.

copy and paste , has been posted before

Yeah well Sid 1 pappy 0

and this is flamebait, albeit a crappy one.

Hi Sid, long time to see (online anyway)

this was posted on MR long time ago,glad your here fish but you don't want to "bait me"

sid is no longer welcome here , that is something that is earned as you did.
