I just built a AMD 64/Pentium 4 3.2EE KILLER!

Well, it's a nice rig GigaHertzAddict, but not an A64 killer:

3DMark03 - 6719
3DMark2001SE- 22,346
AquaMark3 - 50,538

Since we have the same Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB AGP, the results are pretty directly comparable. PCMark04 is kinda bogus as you can optimize your system pretty easily to do way better. There was a thread on this a while back with some guys in socket A rigs able to top 6,000 by tweaking a little.

You also have to factor in that my A64 is just running on air, no expensive water cooling setup so you don't have any real price advantage. Nuthin' against your rig, it performs pretty similar to the 2.8C @ 3.5 GHz setup I used to have. It just ain't an A64 killer, that's all. And I still like my ancient 3.45 GHz RDRAM setup, which is still very fast and reliable.
 
hmm maybe it is an A64 killer... I still got you beat dave...And i'm purely aircooled also...:D

Actually I know of some aircooled A64 rigs that can beat mine..but not any 3.2EE rigs on similar cooling.
 
Sure the P4EE is somethin', but so is the price. :eek: Even more whacky than the A64FX. Those are some mean machines but not really in the cards for me.

I'm not dissing Intel, I've always had an Intel rig, but the A64 is a sweet setup too. A big improvement over the long-in-the-tooth socket A line. Playing with the A64 makes me long for a dual Opteron rig but that can get very pricey also. So I may have to settle for some cheaper Xeons. No matter how I try to stay away, I keep going back to duallies. :cool:

Has nothing to do with the Mobo.. it's a PSU mod for most people.. I'm lucky though , my PC P&C has an internal pot that allows me to adjust the 3.3V output as far as 3.9..i only go as far as 3.5 for what I need though.

Dunno if it would help on the ABIT ..probably.. (although I've heard the vdimm mod on that board is difficult which is one of the reasons I bought the ASUS)... most vdimm mods on boards are only limited to the max of the 3.3 PSU output. Once you've done the vdimm mod and increased resistance to maximum your VDIMM should be nearly equal to the 3.3 rail.

He's right, you have to mod your psu's 3.3 rail
 
I think so people are taking the 3.2EE/AMD64 Killer very seriously. Please relax..:D Also the screens I posted here are at 300MHz bus speed.. Now I'm at 306MHz bus speed.so I'll be reposting my scores.
 
You have a great OC there's no doubt. Not too many are going to get to 306 on air. There's not much difference between the XT and the pro in SE. The both get about the same score. If I remember right there was only about 100 point difference and would depend some on your pro clock, which is? Also the amount of ram would be nice to know. Mine was at 471/396 and those scores were at 3.39 and 242. I haven't run them at 247. But why not post your 03 score and while your at it run superpi and Aquamark for us. Just tell me the clock of your pro and I'll try to find what I got at those speeds. Never mind Aquamark and 03 will tell us. BTW, the top score on 03 for a 3.2EE is over 9000 and over 29000 for se. frankly you'd be wasting your money running a 3.2 on air. You'd be very lucky to hit the sweet spot which would be 4G. You'd have to settle for mabye 3.6 and a low memory speed. I'm sure I'd beat a EE on air. It would almost be a waste of money to run a 3.0c on air unless you just didn't want to give the memory the juice it needed.

BTW, how do you know for sure which systems are running on air considering many of the score dont give that informaiton

I want to point out on thing though, if you want to test more CPU than anything else, you should be running 3Dmark2001/2003 at 640x480, the lowest possible screen resolution and settings. Otherwise it becomes a CPU+Video card war..
 
Wow, climbski. I just looked at your SE score are you really using 1.9 volt on your cpu on air. That wont last long if you are. And yes you've been beaten a couple of times, but not by much.

looks like a no ;)
 
GPU at 1.9V...:) Not CPU...

One of those that beat me is an ES EE using a lower Multi (unquestionably the fastest PC CPU made if you use the lower Multi's unfortunately you have to know GOD to get one)...If I remember correctly. I havn't really done any benching for a while since I got that score in my sig...That was only at 301FSB I'd bet I could get close to 24K if I got really serious and got to 311FSB.:)

But nothing would be more annoying than 239xx and knowing you ain't got anymore...:eek:

Actually it would be fun... I am sure there are apps where the xtra cache would be better and I know there are benches where the High FSB is better (3DM01)...I'd be up for it...if someone could host some screenies for me...let me know if your interested pkrew.

Shall we keep it fair say 3.6ghz vs 3.6ghz? 2-2-2-5 mem timings (if you can run that)...obviously FSB and divider will be different.

Or shall we just go all out top OC vs top OC...Hmm what cooling do you have? I'll even take you on if you are watercooled...as long as you don't chill it below freezing and I can use cold air if you do chill.

Yeah it would be fun and interesting to see the results and they'd be useful results at that. You can stay at 3.6G. I'll either run mine at what it is in my sig (247 at 3.45 1/1 memory)or If I get some memory that'll run at 250fsb with tight timings will be at 3.5G. I'm probably going to try some black label within the week to see if I can hit 250fsb. I'd shoot for 3.6 but then I'd probably have to run it at 5/4 and would defeat the purpose and to be honest I'd probably be slower. I'm not sure that I've seen anyone that has gotten 257 out of bh-5 chips, but it would be nice. Not sure what to do about the different graphics cards. Not much diferenct between the pro and xt with SE or Aquamark, but an unfair advantage in 03 Like I said you could run your pro on 03, and aquamark. I use to have a pro and still have some score with it on file. They'd be at 242 and 3.39 I'm using a 947u just like it says im my sig.

yeah, I did that with a 9600pro that I had for a while I can remebmer that score I was trying to get above but I was like 5 points shy of getting it but never reached it, lol
