Re: The Tech Forums Official 3DMark06/03 Top List
Well.... I am ATTEMPTING to overclock.... so far, I am seeing funny things at STOCK speeds though......
I am getting conflicting reports of CPU multiplier & speed between CPU-Z and Core Temp.
CPU-Z shows: 333 x 8.0 @ 2.66 GHz
Coretemp shows: 333 x 8.5 @ 2.83 GHz
I confirmed that the BIOS is set for 333 x 8.5 @ 2.83 GHz
Everything was good, temps were good.
I tried running it at 350 x 8.0 @ 2.80 GHz, and it was fine, but then 3DMark06 would crash while running. First attempt went to about 5 seconds before last test was finished.... After that, it wouldn't even run through the first test....
I tried also 400 x 7.5 @ 3.00 GHz, and Win XP wouldn't even BOOT....
I dunno how to do this stuff.... lol. Perhaps it needs more voltage, or the A Stepping, E0 Revision is just a bad one to OC? More likely PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard)....
What do you guys think?
