saint19 - Athlon XP 2600+ Barton @ 1144MHz - 1860 marks PCMark 2004

[Luebke]

why did you underclock your cpu?

wouldn`t it be better to overclock it?

[saint19]

Yeah, but it's not underclocked. For some strange reason the CPU isn't running at full speed and I'm trying to figure out what's the problem.

[Luebke]

did you already modify the clocks or did you the test @stock?

maybe it became to hot und slow down itself?

[saint19]

I think that the problem is the mobo, I don't changed anything but only run at 1.5GHz instead of 1.9GHz that's the correct speed. The mobo have a "dead" capacitor, maybe that's the problem.

[Turrican]

an athlon xp 2600+ with barton core is stock clocked @ 11.5x166.

your's is clocked @ 11.5x100.

so your fsb is too low, try set it manually to 166mhz. the nforce 2 board can handle it.

[Luebke]

ok, thats realy a problem. but fortunately you have a lot of time to change the board until the competition ends

 

edit: try first turricans method. sounds plausible

[saint19]

I want the CPU running at full speed, so, I will try the Turrican suggestion. Opty already did his magic in the K7 line, so, my 2600+ can not go so high...i think.

[Luebke]

yeah that result is impressive, especial for this early time of the competiton...

but there are points for the eight best submissions

i´ll try it, too. i guess there is a athlon 2800+ in my collection... let´s see, what it is good for ^^
