P4S533 1.8a Bench marks

[therudyq3]

If you have similar system like mine......please post some bench numbers......3dmark2001, quake etc..... i'm tweaking/installing my system and would like to see some numbers for comparisons

my system

Asus P4S533
P4 1.8a
asmsung pc2700 512 MB
geforce2 gts 32 MB (asus 7700)
win 98 SE

[DMI+RY]

My system is quite similar (see my sig).

Benchmarks would be a bad comparison since I have GF4 Ti4400 GPU and running on WinXP OS.

So even on the identical systems Win98 and WinXP will have VERY different results.

With full software load (incl. resource eaters such as Norton System Works 2002 Pro, MS Office XP Pro, CookieCop2, WebWasher, RoboForm, SB Audigy soft and other 8GB+ of installed software only) I'm getting 3DMark2001SE Pro about 11500 . But again, this number is greatly because of GF4 Ti4400 GPU.
I was able to tune system (WinXP only, no additional software) to get 3DMark2001SE Pro score of 12600. But other benches were not so good, so all the numbers I provide are not from specific benchmark tuned machine (on which you can pull an additional 10-15% increase).

3DMark2001SE Pro: 11500
PCMark2002 cpu/mem/hdd: 6500/6300/1100
Performance Test 3.5: 378

:D

Thanks DMI...I was just looking for neighborhood numbers to assure that I didn't screw up royally on something :)

My system now has a Radeon 8500.

It's doing 2.7 at 1.625V ....after 10 cycles of 3dmark2001 and a few rounds of quake3 online earlier, the temp was 46C for cpu.
The 3dmark2001 score was around 9500....I need to do more test on this to assue that it's stable at 2.7 but right now I'm running at 2.61 qith 1.55V...and it's humming...ran thru 50 cycles of 3dmark2001 and a couple days of online quake3 off and on...I'd say it's pretty stable :)

will try to push this baby up higher to 2.8, 2.9?? or even 3.0?? hehe ...but better cooling is needed

[DMI+RY]

BTW what cooling r u using?

I using Alpha HSF (the latest one, don't remember model, something like 8942 or so) and Swiftech MCX478.
In my case the noise produced by HSF is a big issue, so I lowering fan voltage on Swifty (it comes with Delta 87CFM 53db) in half to make my system virtually noiseless.
Fo watever reason I couldn't say that on low fan speeds Swifty, which is considered the best air cooling fan out there, does not outeperforms Alpha (which is like $25 cheaper).

Running at 2.68G (149x18) after vid mod to 1.85 I am getting top temp of 55*C with "CPU Stability Test" on CPU Warming mod with a full load for 3-4 hours. I believe that 1.85v is too much for this setup and by lowering CPU Vcore to 1.70-1.75 will save 5 or 6 degrees without affecting performance.

System is rather stable but I need more testing to be done for final results.

The software I'm using for system stress:
MadOnion 3DMark 2001 SE Pro
MadOnion PCMark2002
PassMark BurnIn Test
PassMark Performance Test
CPU Stability Test
Sandra 2002 SP1

I think your 3DMark results are quite Ok on Radeon 8500 card, it's surely outperforms GeForce 3 chip, which in it's turn is more than you need for todays gaming.

Post your results when you get some

Thnx

;)

well I had to upgrade to win xp pro to resolve my secondary ide problem so i've been away...DMI..I'm using stock intel HSF believe it or not...at the max my 1.8a can OC to 2.7 at 1.65...and load temp was around 49 or 50 C. I'm also using AC3 which I don't think made that much of an improvement.
in win 98se..my cdrw can read but could not write if i installed the ide bus driver from sis...so i upgraded to win xp pro and it worked..if i had used only win 98 se ide driver, the performance degrades...
i may switch to thermaltake 7 plus later so that i can push this baby higher..but right now at 2.61 and 1.55V..it's plenty fast enough with win xp pro...
BTW ati has a new driver ..catalyst..and i gained a few extra fps...

I think i just lucked out with this cpu...it can OC like crazy and using very little voltage :)

[Mr. Cornell]

Just out of curiosity therudyq3, what is the model#/FPO-batch#/pack date/etc. of your 1.8A?

[therudyq3]

here are the numbers:
fpo/batch: L206A733
version: A78297-003
pack date: 05/13/2002
made in malaysia
prod code: BX80532pc1800sl63x
MM#: 842169

BTW ..the voltage for my system to run 2.7 is 1.65V...full load temp was around 49C
Ran 40 cycles of 3dmark2001...payed some quake3 online for a few hours off and on...so far no problems...

But i'm running it at 2.61 at 1.55V for idle cpu temp at 35C, MB temp at 30C...i figured for now, it's not worth the temp increase for .1 gig to go from 1.55V to 1.65V...so i pulled back to 2.61 for now till i get better cooling to go higer...

all on stock intel HSF

I know at full load a temp of 49 or 50C may not be high to some people, but I like it a little cooler...so i won't push this baby till i get a better HSF...

wow nice, congrats on nice 1.8a

Just curious how you calculating your top CPU temps?
In my tests 1.8A@2.7G was hitting 60*C once.

Try
this (http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7146,00.asp) utility for at least 25-30min on "CPU Warming" mode and record your top temp with stock HSF.

Please post results.

Thanx

[therudyq3]

the top temp is reported from pc probe...sorry...after running those cycles of tests i looked up the temp in the history page of pc probe...

sorry ..unfortunately i can't run the test because i just swapped into a new case and can't boot my system. you can see a post of my problem here "p4s533 stop booting"..

i'll rma this board... :( i hope i'll be able to get the same results on the next 1..after all the cpu is the same
