extreme parhelia memory clocks

[borat]

ive had my bulk parhelia for 2 months now and have recently been playing around overclocking it with some very interesting results though i am not entirely sure i beleve them.
my core is stable with retail heatsink/fan and another fan blowing over the card at 230mhz, nothing too spectacular there
but my memory has gone all the way up to 348mhz(696ddr) i have done the bioshack to get it to 600mhz then used the software overclocker to take it up an extra16%(96mhz) i havent tried to take it further as the core will not allow for it but in time i will try, benchies to follow when i get 5 minutes but it ran 3dmark at that speed with no problems so it appears to be stable

interesting ...

keep us posted !

How hot is it?
You have ramshinks on?

[borat]

no ramsinks just an 80mm fan blowing over the card, funny thing is this though
i tried increasing memory speed using the bioshack and could only get it to 660mhz without funny things happening to the screen yet the software will happily perform a 14% overclock when the ram is 620 in the bios.

Could you run those benchies again with the fillrate tests included???

sounds good so far !

but as K6-III already said, please run all tests and if possible provide some scores, based on default clocks for better comparison ...

Your CPU... 192 FSB!? What the hell is that...
And your almost doubled my fps

[Elie]

Your performance can go up further if you buy a different motherboard with the SIS or Intel chipset.

VIA will decrease performance.

[K6-III]

You can't quite get an Intel chipset on an AMD platform...

[Novdid]

As far as I know the fastest chipset on the AMD platform right now is either KT333 or KT400 (you can't buy a SiS746 or nForce2 based board just yet).

Note: I said fastest not the best, we all know that SiS745 boards from MSI and Asus are th best and most stable!!!

[WyWyWyWy]

Hey ASUS A7S333 won't allow voltage adjustment... not recommended. If I had another chance I'd go for MSI 745 Ultra (or the new 748) instead of Asus A7S333... mis-advertisement!!!

And yes I'm seriously bottlenecked by the SDRAM... no money.

Back to topic, are you sure the max for core is 230mhz? Can't go any further??

make that MSI and ECS for SIS

[WyWyWyWy]

My ECS SiS is BLOODY slow though, comparing with my mate's P4S533 with the same cpu (my cpu!)

[Pace]

Yeah, as you noted, it's the SDRAM limitation. There really shouldn't have been a third party SDRAM board, SiS should've jumped right into DDR boards for P4 (although there might've been some logistical problems with this ).

[Wombat]

DDR was restricted on P4 due to Intel's agreement with Rambus, I believe.
