Allendale...Does it seem right?

Running 3dmark01 at stock i get around 27k with an X1800XT/2GBRAM.
Running 3dmark01 at 3GHz i get 39k with the same ram/gfx.

I thought they were a little low? Am i correct or wrong? Or do they sound about right...

Cheers mate! I was worrying after some guy said he got a much higher score than i did

What ram are you using? Are you using a DS3/4? To hit 3GHz on my crap ram i had to overvolt it by 0.2V~0.3V. Try it and then pump FSB to 430

Not sure how the S3 overclocks . I got that same ram - G.Skill PC5400LA(well i had it, geil pc6400 coming monday) and its a rubbish overclocker. Go into the bios and put 0.2v onto the ram and then try at 430fsb. Let me know.

Got some sweet Geil PC6400 here 2x1GB sticks

Exactly whats coming to me on monday.. Have you gone further than 3GHz yet? I'm intrested to see how good this ram overclocks with the DS3 and E6300@)

I don't use CoreTemp Beta as a reliable indicator(reports 60degrees weirdly sometimes). I use Speedfan/Easytune and the bios and i get around 27degrees idle 45 load or something like that - according to speedfan/easytune/bios. This is after reseating the HSF+Applying AS5. On the temps front your good to go .

How is stability btw?

Now stop wimping out and hit up 430FSB

EDIT: Forgot to tell you, because your running PC5400 ram rated at 667MHz, you need to slacken the timings as well mate for stability otherwise you will have bsods and reboots

Have you tried pushing ctrl+f1 in the main page of the bios then going into M.I.T or whatever it is?
