I jsut recently boguht a P4 1.6a , asus p4b533 mobo, and soem samsung PC2700 ram, i bought this with the intention of overclocking from the begining, anyway everything seems ok except oen small detail, witch is bugging me, i am clocked at 2.66 Ghz and default voltage np ( 166 FSB with mem ratio of 1:1 for 333mhz on the dot ) i have a asus geforce 4 4400 clocked at 300 / 600, and my agp / pci are locked at 66 / 33, my 3dmarks are scoring in the right place around 13,000 , all my games runnign sweet, but sandra gives me bogus scores somestimes on the cpu bench, sometimes it shows up right around ALU 5138, but sometimes it shows up as 2800 or so, ill run it again get like 3400 or so then finaly it will go back to 5100+ but my 3dmark scores never change nore does any of my frame rate test ever go down, is this a sign the cpu is strugling or having problems, or could it be jsut a bug or quirk in sandra 2002 SP1, oh yea my cpu runs cool also, after i put soem artic silver on it and burned the cpu in a few days max load yelds just 46C and around 35C idle.
any imput is welcome, og yea i can post at 2.8 ghz no problem but only if i bump my cpu volts to 1.6, like i said it does up to 2.66 default volts
