Computers OverClocked

I was just wondering if anyone could give me some pointers for running benchmarks on my new system...?

Use sisoft or other tests mentioned in the forums.

Also use this to burn in your cpu, it's a cool project too:

www.madonion.com has the 3DMark tests everyone talks about, to bench your gaming performance.

Also run a search at Yahoo for Aquamark, which is another one. Pretty sure it's Aquamark, I just had a brain fart and lost what I was thinking Smile

You are correct about aquamark. Aquamark is one ripped benching program...kinda set up to try to make your computer choke on a data load.

It definately is a good test.

obviously, 3dmark for gaming benchmarks, but are there specific tests for memory, hard drive, and cpus?

Sisoft Sandra 2004 benches everything under the sun in it's various modules of testing. It will even test network card performance from within a private network, or to a registered outside source on the computer (like an FTP source I believe will work for that test). CPU has 2 different tests, and most other components just have 1 single test, but is compared to high end toys.

Lemme know if you want a copy, I can maybe send you it.

Yesh, Sisoft Sandra is great.

SuperPi, Hexus_pifast, 3Dmark 01 03, PCmark.....

To add memspeed isnt everything but the timing. That previous was driven with OCZ 3700 EB, but those timings are the fastest that they support. This other one is runned with KHX3000 but with extreme fast timings. Wink

Welcome to computersOC! You should register! Smile

Did you run Sisoft or 3dmark2003 yet?

Here's a crunching program that uses the CPU that you should join too... you'd probably woop us all. Wink

Adam My UD stats Wink

Extreme HC overcloking for long time, but no screenshots from Sandra or 3Dmark 01 and 03, last 3DMark 01 result was 30 089 and 03 about 12800.

Found some "old" benmarks with my old prosessor. btw I'm an Finnish 38 years "young" overcloker.

Wow, 277 for UD, nice. My Athlon XP 2400+ that I just un-overclocked, gets 188. Did you join our team? Smile

I had it over 2300 MHz too. I underclocked partially because of the summer heat and the computer was too noisy. Smile

In that case I'll understand, right now got this a64 3700+ running @ 2796 mhz which is my 24/7 setting now. Cooling this with Prometia Mach II witr r404 mod, cpu temp raises about 16ºC with full load, on idle (what that is Wink

) it drops to -17ºC. Still too hot for me, but so far for 24/7 use compressor is the best solution. Have started my oc career with aircooling, moved to watercooling and now got compressor. Have also tried LN2, but for 24/7 use way too impossible and expensive.

Cool. Did you ever crunch the TSC program? That has results that are more consistent for the average time. I've seen the average about 34 seconds on a 2.0GHz Mac G5. I'd be nice to see that overclocked but it won't happen. Wink
