I DID IT! PIII-450@600 with L2 cache on!

[jackzod]

Here's an exemple (I just runned some benchamark).
p3 550e
ABIT BF6
128 meg PCI 133 (crucial)
G400 max
I've run unreal tournament wicked405 demo here:

with in queue depth to 8 (faster)

550@550(100 FSB) :33,9 FPs
550@688(125 FSB) :35,29 Fps
550@733(133 FSB) :40 fps

with in queue depth to 1 (stable)

550@688(125 FSB) :32,34
550@733(133 FSB) :33,12

So as you can see I've gained NOTHING going from 550 (with queue depth to 8) to 733 (with queue depth to 1). the system is even SLOWER if I don't go all the way to 733 if I use on queue depth of 1.

What I mean here, is not to spoil the fun, but at least for games (other apps I don,t know), maybe you better o/c a bit less but leave your "on queue depth" to faster setting (8), that way your system will be faster, even with a lower FSB (at least in games).

He!! I got an Asus p3b-f too on my P3 450@600!!

It work fine unlike others.
p.s. mine is not a SL37D but SL37C

LAMFDTK:
Any chance you're running WIN2K on that
Asus P3BF ? ... Rob_b

Hey Cyberdude!

If you read some of my older posts in this thread you can see that my P3-450 is also a SL37C. What is the production date and FPO# on yours. Mine is 08/25/99, FPO#: 99310556.

Could you post a run-down of your rig setup, cooling, Sandra benchmarks?

Regards,

Jake

I just wrote down all the number on the box cuz I don't what it all means so here is my numbers:

450/512/100/2,0 S1
99290195-0451 Malay
SL37C

I think that the date is 01/29/'99

I know, I know It's a bit out of date.
But I'm just 15 and has no work!!

Cooling:
A HomeMade cooler that look like the Tennmaxx p3 tf cooler but with other fans, removed thermopad, lapped procesor and lapped heatsink. (Just wanted to try out lapping )

ps: Y can't I boot @ 630??

[dneal]

I have a P3-450 SL35D and have had it running at 630 for quite a while, cache at 7 latency in BIOS. (7 is the fastest, tested with bunch of programs.

DO NOT turn In-Order Depth Cue thing to 1! I tested that, it halved memory bandwidth (maybe l2 cache bandwidth, not sure.) Maybe more stable but what's the point if it slows the computer down terribly.

My settings in Abit Softbios 3

AGP: Normal
CPU V: 2.10
VIO V: 3.40
Inorder: 8
Cache: Default (use Powertweak to set to 7)
