jsgolfman 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 K, I have a set of pics. This first one is the MBM dashboard, stock settings idle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsgolfman 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 This one is just after running 3dmark, notice the cpu load is 93%. Nice temps, huh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsgolfman 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 K, this one is MBM readings for my best overclock. I could take it farther but 3dmark locks up on the 5th test at 225fsb. remember there are no pci/agp locks on this one. I could boot to desktop and everything seemed fine at 235fsb, but I couldn't get any benchies to complete so I figure this is the top end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rbreb13 0 Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Not to shabby. Benchies to follow I hope? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsgolfman 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Yep, I'm gonna try the benchies again at 220FSB. I don't think I will see a big difference until I get a better vid card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsgolfman 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 K, just ran 3dmark @220fsb. I set details to low. I noticed on the lobby scene I hit 462 fps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jsgolfman 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 K, ran them again at default. Pretty big difference, hehe. Too bad this board doesn't have agp/pci locks. Increase was only about 400 from stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rbreb13 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Thats better. A lot easier to see where you're at. Still a very good score for a 9500 Pro, though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsgolfman 0 Posted February 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Really? Cool! I kept seeing all these 22K scores and my paltry 14K didn't look so good. Thought I was doing something wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rbreb13 0 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Use the compare feature and set the parameters to like vid cards and cpu MHz, etc. and see what it comes up as. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm only getting a little over 13K with the 9800 Pro. I could prolly get more. But I'm happy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rbreb13 0 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Lets see a PC Mark score. How does that chipset do with your memory scores? BTW: I get 13+k with my 9700 Pro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsgolfman 0 Posted February 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Sure. I will do the whole gamut of benchies. I'll try HALO, UT2K3, Aquamark, PCmark, Sandra. I'll do those on default bench and system settings. Like you guys said, that will give me a better understanding of where it is at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How does that chipset do with your memory scores?BTW: I get 13+k with my 9700 Pro. what board do you have? the only thing limiting e is the actual bandwidth. I'm running the card at 4x cause my mobo doesn't support 8x. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any suggestions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rbreb13 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Use PC Mark 2002. I hate 2004 it doesn't break it down as well unless you pay them. Junior, Asus P4B533, 2.53 P4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsgolfman 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 K, now I have a problem. I can't adjust my fsb(HT) from 215 after I raised it using Corecenter. I checked it in BIOS and set it to 200 but once I get in windows everything is reported as 215mhz. Can't download a new bios, the update utility lists a new one but on download says it cant find it. The msi site doesn't show it either. It's not a huge problem, I can run at 215 just fine. I just worry about the agp/pci not having a lock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rbreb13 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Clear the CMOS? And whats Corecenter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsgolfman 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Corecenter is the windows based utility to overclock. I was using it, I know dont say anything it was easier, to overclock. I will clear it tomorrow. I'm such a genius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rbreb13 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Sorry but I have to say something! Most all of the Windows based utilities I've ever tried su** bal** Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jsgolfman 0 Posted February 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 LOL, I know. I was just being lazy and didn't want to have to restart every time. I expected to have some bumps along the way since it's the first generation of chips. No worries m8, I'll reset the CMOS tomorrow or Sunday and see if that helps. If not, I will llive with it.
