I want to help you guys. I have something like 4 nf7's, AN7, asus NF2 board and one burned DFI Infinity (don't know what is burned). I also have lots of Socket A cpu's (40-50pcs). Do you want me to check some things on these boards/CPUs? I know that you also have a lot of gear to play with, but just wanted to let you know that there are some more people interested in this "vintage" motherboards/platforms. Thanks for your work.

On intel 945 it was impprtant to use some fsb:pci:pcie ratio. Sa I think that software fsb raising changes maybe only fsb, but no pci. I dont know if i'm right, but this might be a hint. Have you tried other ddr1 sticks? I remember also that when i have been ocing integrated gpu on intel, there was very unexpected behaviour between stick's ic's. Bh5 were worse than tccd and tcc5 were the best. Im interested what is blocking you? Cpu? Memory? Mem controller? Chipset/fsb? Pci clock? Some weird timmings? Board layout? Temperature? Voltage? That's a lot of stuff.... Nice clocks btw.

What? I was thinking that 240 mhz is max on intel ddr1 imc. Nice. Not samsung TCCD or bh5 or bh6?

Hmm looks liek this: https://nucblog.net/2018/04/gemini-lake-nuc-nuc7cjyh-review/ nuc7cjyh

Does the hardware have to be unlocked (for example pull down resistor on a specific pin of chipset or pll) for ocing g2? I have seen msi predator notebooks with the same or similar chipset and overclockers fund the way to oc it. I was wondering how is this possible on notebooks.

Do you jave schematics for turboPLL? I can do it in kiCad. What clocks are needed to be replaced? Cpu clock only or its more sophisticated like clk synchro in a proper ratio cpu:ram:agp:pci:usb and so on? Does anyone dig in this technical flavours? Is it only compatible with for example only pentium3 and p2?

Nice, better chipset than i815, didn't know that i845 has sdram support. But wait! Some very crap DELL motherboards I have had in the past had SDRAM support, ofc no overclocking on PLLs, sadly. I've tested some p4 platforms: i845, i865, and i875. I think that all of these have the same memory controller, only difference is dual channel and PAT technology (and maybe ecc?). I remember that all of them ends around 240-250 MHZ mem. So looks like you maxed out this chipset, maybe quimonda wants more, but now I consider this motherboard as very good choice for SDRAM OC. Nice score!

I maybe will help you. Read my descriptions: https://hwbot.org/submission/4696627_ludek_reference_frequency_p5gc_mxgbl_429.55_mhz https://hwbot.org/submission/3680997_ludek_reference_frequency_conroe1333_d667_r1.0_424_mhz long story short: try to make shure if FSB:PCIe ratio is always 3 +/-5% and maybe it will make your score higher. \ my motherboards are 945GC, but it may be applicable to yours as well.

775 still exciting. waiting to see more of this stuff :)

I had once gigaboom GA EP45 UD3LR. I have done 624 mhz fsb on my old old e8200 c0 stepping, all air. I was very proud, but have no validation, only screen. It was back in 2009 or 2010, when I was starting my fascination on OC. It was before I found hwbot (polish overclock site with only screenshot to validate) Wytiwx, thanks for sharing the knowledge! Edit: I have found this! LINK it was 1.7 Volt, stock NB AIR cooling

I have never played with 3d benchmarks, (but now I am). I remember old aquamark benchmark. It is one of good old one, that run on GeForce 2 or pentium 3 integratedGpu. I didn't know about any work-arounds like resolution changing before save the result. It would be great if the Aqua wrapper project was resurrected.

So to meet HWBot rules I can't simply do a score "as in the old days" without "wrapper" app? Is there any clue what happens to the wrapper? Is this to do with low memory count? Or some software timmings?

I also have a problem with Aquamark. First, It doesn't start on my i845 integrated GPU. But, after playing around with priority, aquamarka does start. Then I have to start aquamark and my result is shown, but after this, the hwbot aquamark "launcher" app is closing... and it's frustrating, because I wait 30 minutes (lol old gear) and there are no results! Is there any solution?

When your memory has more MHz than your CPU :)

Yes, thanks Hmm this is strange thing. Lenovo doesn't care to name their motherboards even though there are some nice writings on the PCB. I have done a little research and it seems like there are quite a few versions of "lenovo lenovo" system.

Thanks, well done! Have you discovered anything special in the BIOS? For example "hidden" shortcut (like in Gigabyte CTRL+F1) or something else interesting?

So I found another motherboard. It's called Lenovo Lenovo... wait, what?! there is an old version with 945 chipset. And mine is another rev. with P45 chipset: https://valid.x86.fr/l1j2xm After a short search in google these should be called: old-one LENOVO -> ThinkCentre A55 (at least this one submission LINK) new-one LENOVO -> ThinkCentre M58, M58p (mine looks exacly like this: LINK) So I don't know. What will you do? To split into a few motherboards but called as in the CPUz? Or just I will upload my score to LENOVO LENOVO motherboard?

Uhh thats a nice collection! THX!

Nice tweaking, I can see that you have tweaked even the tWRRD timmings, so next stop is subzero on mems?

Whoa, thanks for bumping, I didn't knew that 3x cards ever existed. Asus Trinity, nice Well my friend wants to sell something like 7900 GX2 or 7900 GX2, I don't know which one, but for shure it's the more common one. As far as I remember it has GPU from two other half-working cards.

That's interesting! When I was OCing a mobile Socket P, playing around with SPD was the only way to achieve better result. But that is pain if there are completely no OC options in BIOS. This makes OC harder, but also more fun. Sometimes I had to desolder SPD chips (in DDR2 it's I2C memory for example 24C02) and reflash them. It's good to have hot air station, a programmer and soldering station. Keep pushing One question, do you use SPD Tool? Or it's something more sophisticated piece of software? // EDIT: Always do a backup of your SPD! It's worth your while.

Wow, thanks. This is interesting, because I tried to install the nV drivers for chipset. Will try next weekend. Thanks! //edit I remember that before installing DRVs I had 3 devices in device manager with no driver. After installation I had still one without driver. So next time I'll install every single driver...

So is it a bug in CPUz? I have lots of validation files from the day, so I can tell you that no one is "valid". Please tell me what should I do? Contact https://valid.x86.fr/ admins? Send them valid files from older cpuz versions? Throw away my AM2 platform? Ehhh...

Well I tried the win98 version. I actually tried everything! I have validation files from 3 different versions of cpuz. Can I contact CPU-z directly by e-mail or something? I have even recorded a short video and have a few screenshots showing timmings scaling the FSB frequency. I tried to play around with cpuz.ini - no go. So what to do with these old gear, that I can't validate? //edit here is another valid from this platform. I have even installed all the drivers and played every option in BIOS, but no go. But now I have now the knowledge to reproduce the score.

Ok, so I have a question. Recently I put my Asus M2N-SLI DELUXE out of the storage box. I spent about half a day to do this score. But always says "REJECTED"! Can I upload this score to HWBOT? I was trying to see FSB, but no luck. Only CPUz 1.4 to 1.6 or 1.7 I think can read FSB. Newer versions only shows CPU Frequency. I'm glad that the CPU freq is shown! So here is valid in question: https://valid.x86.fr/0dla32
