Can My Rig Do Better

JaseUK · 30 Jun 2006 at 22:18

I am sure my rig has a lot more life in it than this: -

I am currently running my San Diego 3700+ @ 2.5GHz (250 x 10) at 1.35v
Crucial PC 3200 @ 3-3-3-8 166 divider @ 227MHz
7900GTX @ 663/821, Forceware 91.21
Temps are good and Prime 95 ran for 3.5 hours no probs.
I am getting a 5202 score on 3D Mark 06

Can I do better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or had I better not push my luck
Cheers

Push it and see.

The only way is to try and find out :confused:

My 3700 is a 2.7 on stock volts, so yours could increase a bit.

Raise the volts, use the 11x multi for the cpu, also your ram should be at 208 not 227 (I am running a 166 devider with 250x10).

If you want to keep the 10x multi then lower the memory devider to 133 and the HTT to 3x then raise the FSB until it becomes unstable, increase the Voltage as needed (up to 1.6v max on air)

My mistake I got my divider on 183MHz

bbreezeuk · 30 Jun 2006 at 22:49

my sandy does 2.8ghz on stock with the a8n32 sli

Still plenty of room for improvment there. Should be able to get atleast 2.7/2.8gb out of that sandy.
Out of interest why are you running a 10x multi and not 11x???

I drop the the mem divider down again to 133 and push the FSB as far it goes to see where the limit is on the Chip. Seems like you have a fair amount of room on the Volts side of things, so aslong as you deal with the extra heat you should be fine to go higher.

I put my memory down to divider 100MHz to see how far my CPU would go and to be honest Prime 95 wouldnt run with the multiplier set at 10.5 or 11 which gave 2.6 and 2.7 on the CPU.
I have now left the CPU @ 2.5GHz (250 x 10) 1.35v with a 183 divider giving 3-3-3-8 1T @ 227MHz as I feel this is all my system will do.
Well with my knowledge anyroad, I am sure someone with a little more experience could do better than this but hey never mind.

I dont think you have mentioned your temperatures at all in this thread, which leads me to belive they are well within normal limits.

If they are, keep the memory divider low and up the Vcore, and see if you can go higher with the CPU. I firmly believe you can go higher with more volts than 2.5Ghz.

You'll need to up the v-core to push your chip further. Anything up to 1.55-1.6v on air will be ok providing you have decent cooling.
