Which Is Better

Buzz_4_20 · 27-November-02, 11:24 PM

I have two XP1700+'s one is a palimino and the other is a t-bred A.

which one would be better to have in my mobo (A7N8X).

any thoughts are good for me.

Tbred.
Unlocked in the nForce2 mobo, and it is just more ownage.
Hows that mobo holding out, anyway?

How high do you want to clock it?

Buzz_4_20 · 27-November-02, 11:36 PM

i'm not going for a high oc, i am trying to keep the cooling on the quiet side, but i am considering dropping the mult and running a higher fsb.

Well, only way to lower the multi without going through the trouble of unlocking is to use the Tbred. And, anyway, the Tbred should run a couple degrees cooler (compared to the equivalent speed on a Palamino core).
Well, maybe after you overclock, you could make a mention of how the nForce2 mobo is holding up

the nforce is running great, stable as a rock, and the onboard sound is just shy of audigy quality, (well on my crappy speakers anyway). gonna put another stick of ddr in it and see how the dual ddr works.

i'll post a bench of the dual ddr at sync speeds for a 1700+ tonight or tommorow.

MmmMMmM..sexy, thanks!

Buzz_4_20 · 29-November-02, 04:21 AM

the tbred is much better, i can choose any mulitplier through the bios, no unlocking required, only bad thing is my cheap ram, can only hit 166fsb

Buzz_4_20 · 29-November-02, 04:40 AM

benches coming very soon, only single channel ddr

For A7N8X, 2600+ 333fsb, 2 sticks of 256mb Corsair XMS 3000 and a Visiontek GF4600. Using Sisoft Sandra.

Arithmetic 7636/3089

Memory Bandwidth 2579/2464 Timings at 2-2-2-6-2T in sync at 166.

Pretty damn decent with nothing more than aggressive ram timings.
