trodas Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Since my Super Pi 1M results on 3.2GHz Pentium 4 540 are somewhat disappointing 45.172 - 44.157sec: ... So then I tried to overclock it a little. It is 200x16 = 3200MHz by default. The only one CPU tweak the MSI PM8M3-V mobo offer is the - after I unclocked it in the bios - FSB. 210MHz FSB post, yet failed to boot into Windows 2000 SP4, claiming that ACPI fail. Lol. 208MHz worked, booted and run SuperPi and CPU-Z validations: http://valid.canardpc.com/uv65p3 http://valid.canardpc.com/37epge So, a 3328MHz compared to 3200MHz = I hoped to gain something. But the SuperPi result was disapointingly low - 44.078sec...!!! So, all the overclocking get me from 44.157sec to 44.078sec I know that this is just a little 104% overclock, but 4% from 44.157sec is 1,76628 sec - and that I hoped to gain. Instead I gained 0,079 sec. 1,76628 0,079 Hmmm. This is disproportional. Anyone can explain me this, or WTF is going on?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose83 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Maybee Chip is getting too hot;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trodas Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 That is why I cool it pretty well: And so far, it never even touched 50°C... so it should not be of excessive heat. Tough this seems as the best logical explaination... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
