Haha.. Kabu u from kch also? Duh.. By then interested wanna get LYN t shirt? There was a kch bulk if ur from kuching.

Well.. Not easy to find cheap and good thing thou. Need to spy at there from time to time one.

Haha.. Stock speed huh.. Not bad thou.. See mine. Ram 3-4-4-8 @ 3.6Ghz (Previous record before my fan kong) 17s / 40s. Kinda low score thou.

Guys.. Weird thing happen agian to my rigs. See the screenie..



Was wandering which one is the correct reading. Cpu-z is 400:200, while ctiaw is 533:133..

Yea.. I was wander about the PAT setting in bios. Well.. Fixed run on 400mhz speed but once goes into windows it trigged to lower speed. But CPU-Z still detect it as 400mhz but ctiaw give another result.

Anyways, does PAT really give some boost for 865 chipset? Since it will goes partially enable when FSB give beyond 200. I was thinking of disable it.

Haha.. Mine is quite low. Thou my ram timing was the loosen one. 3-4-4-8 eh.. Anyone here using this timing? In order to get high speed then i gotta loosen my timing lo. Thats why my score very low..

Btw guys, i think i had found solution for my cooler! Some forumer here ask me to inquiry with AllnGap, ask him whether can custom made a 100mm to 92mm fan adapter / fan acrylic.

Yea.. Seems like when running on high speed in P4 system, loosen timing can keep the stability. I tried with 2.5-3-3-8 before but pc restart once hit the welcome screen.

By then, the most tighten timing that my rigs can go is 2.5-4-4-6, but now im using 3-3-3-6. Well.. Got question here.

Having tight CL is better or having tight DRAM RAS# Precharge & DRAM RAS# Precharge better?

Haha.. Yea! But well.. Dont compare PI score lo.. Low timing ram give worse score ever! Tonight go back change my ram ratio! 2.5-4-4-6! And see much bandwidth i can get.

By then, among Western Digital, Seagate, Samsung which brand of HDD will u guys go for? I heard that Maxtor & Hitachi giving alot of problem. Right?

Ya... Haha! By then my maxtor diamond HDD served me for around 2yrs place already. Didnt let me down thou.. Haha! Maybe is my luck!

By then, i got reply from AllnGap just now.. Hah! Guess my Hyper6+ can back to life agian. Just a small work for him he says. A piece of acrylic can changed the mouting liao!

Ic.. Thx for the info ray! Haha.. Wanna change my current 80G PATA thou. Not enough space liao.. Too much mp3 & Anime.

Guess i gona spent more to mod my rigs now. Aim to get a new chassis (CM Centurion 5 was in my mind), new HDD, custom made 100mm fan adapter. Wah.. Poor!

Haha.. Well thats the reality. What to do.. As for me, fan adapter and GC cooling come in as the 1st priority. Haha.. Cannot stand for the stock heatsink for my GC. Idle can hit 60'c on hot day. As my vAGP was set at 1.6v. And i do have 1 80mm fan pulling the hot air hot from the sink.

Haiz... Just tried Dawn of War: Dark Crusade for 1hr.. Know how high was the temp? 65'c... Thats too high! Btw, anyone playing this game?

Ic.. Guess i better pick WD HDD since my place only have WD. 160G and 250G only lack of RM30! Gosh.. Was wander should i take the 250G or not.. Haha!

Wah.. Got that cheap? 320G only RM230 with postage? Just see the thread. Wah.. Really boh.. So cheap! Haha! RM230 can get a 320G HDD. But the thread looks like not so active. Last post as on 21th Aug.. Dont know still got or nt. Haha..

Btw, which software can give the most accurate bandwidth test?

Lol.. Thanks for the recommendation. Here is my result. CPU Arithmetic & Memory Bandwidth Report.



Was using SiSoftware Sandra Engineer (Win32 x86)
2008.1.12.30 Version to test out this result.

Yea. Running on 1:1 wo. 400:200 with 2.5-4-4-6 timing thou. Ic.. 2005 more better? Got the link? :ehem: Haha.. PM i to me if is illegal to talk about it here.

Hm.. Ic. Guess mine is lastest ver? Maybe updated version more accurate?

Lol.. 7300GT wo! "ohmm" card for AGP series lo.. 10k score very good liao. My 9800PRO clock to 9800XT speed only mange to get 8k++ le..

By then, 6800XT and 7300GT.. Which is better? In term of performance.. Not benchmark score.. Plan to get a backup back thou.. New set only RM230 at my place.. Galaxy brand.

Haha.. 39s for PI 1M really sweet. Mine still need to takes 40s eh..

If im not minstake, S478 the highest speed is 3.4Ghz. But it rare to find.

Lol... Guess what? I just got my ZALMAN FATAL1TY FS-V7 on hand! COD with SpikeTwo just now at Saberkas! The fan really shine as he told me is was new. it was! Tonight gota apply into my 98's and mod to XT. Will post some screenie tonight.

By then, i tried last night. With up my vcore til 1.5v and prime at 3.8Gh.. Guess what? I could go at that speed. haha! My cooler was down, then i tied 2 zalman 92mm fan on it with zipties. For temporary use thou. It works.. Mange to hit 49'c on full load with 2hrs prime.

Lol.. RM100 for the 70% new Zalman Cooler. Only the screws, ram cooler and other accessories is used. The cooling fan itself is new from RMA. Kinda worth for me lo..

Yea.. Found that my system was in control when vcore is high. As my ram run on 2.85v, vAGP only 1.6. 0.5 higher then normal. The rest is default. Set my ram bus length to 4way instead of 8way. Timing is 2.5-4-4-6.

Just plug the zalman in! Temp drop around 12'c eh.. Thats alot for me. Now running on stock, the GPU iself is 46'c and ram is 44'c. Wow.. Before that it was 58'c plus on idle!

Everyone seems stat lapping NB huh? So do me.. Just place the extra 2 ram sink on my NB. Hehe.. Small lapping but mange to drop 3'c temp during 3.6Ghz! Procs only 40'c and NB 39'c!

@pengster
Didnt run PI last night when get that speed. Due too late already.. Haha! Sleepy thou.

My 3Dmark score.. Seems low. But im satisfy with the temp controlled by Zalman cooler.

CPU: 3.6Ghz
GC: 9800PRO @ core 450mhz / memory 750mhz
3Dmark Score: 7990
Full load: GPU: 43'c / Memory: 43'c
Driver: Radeon Omega Drivers v3.8.360



P/s: Damn.. I spoiled my floppy. Thus cannot softmod the card to XT. Guess wil score better with XT bios.
