P4 1.8Ghz Northwood Overclocked to 2.4Ghz Benchmark Results

Xenon · 1st February 2002, 8:37 AM

Here are some screenshots of Sandra, and Wcpuid results of an overclocked 1.8Ghz P4 Nothwood chip.

Just aircooled with the Intel cpu, and 1 case fan.

WcpuID

A very easy chip to overlock. The board used was the Epox EP4BDA. The Ram used was 2x 256MB Crucial PC266 at CL2.

Mmmn, good stuff. I might see how this compares to the 1.8 nw at http://www.dgwcomputing.co.uk/ (it is running rambus)

How much did that cost ya ?

HORUS14 · 1st February 2002, 11:58 PM

Damn, it is running higher than 2.4ghz now. Grr.

Jack the voltage and go for higher man!

Xenon · 2nd February 2002, 12:23 AM

The cpu cost me $445, including GST.

I'll clock it higher, and post some more results tomorrow afternoon.

What motherboard and RAM are you using?

The motherbpard is the Epox 4BDA+ (i845D, ATA133 Raid, DDR). The Ram is Crucial PC2100 SDRAM.

Sounds like a good combo!

Nice overclock dude.. good choice of motherboard chipset as well...

xtreme2k · 16th February 2002, 7:05 AM

Does the 845D have proper dividers at 533FSB?

Microsoft · 16th February 2002, 12:05 PM

and your voltage is?

Xenon · 17th February 2002, 12:54 PM

Yes the board does have proper dividers, at 533Mhz FSB. You can also lock your AGP/PCI, to 66/33 regardless of your FSB on the Epox board. The voltage is 1.7v, up from the original 1.5v

Concerning the epox 4bda:
imho this board has two drawbacks
1. it seems that the montoring chip cant read the internal
diode properly, nearly no fluctations while switching from load
to idle and temperature readings of 35°C under load
(with BD7 temperatures goes from 39°C up to 47°C under
load)
2. the atx +5v line is much more in use then on other 845D boards
(readings as low as 4,6V under load with enermax 330,
with BD7 the +5V line was completely stabel around 5V)

1,6A @ 2,4 @ 1,7V with Epox 4BDA watercooled

what is the max freq at the default 1.5 voltage?

Anarki · 21st February 2002, 8:37 PM

Hey Xenon...whatcha upto now man? Post your results like you promised!

Nice clock.

2.4GHz looks good on paper however I question the rather low 4,500 MIPs.

My Thunderbird 1,450Mhz does 4,000 MIPs.

And the 1,942Mb/s memory rate is about same as VIA KT266A AFAIK.

Nice wallpaper but :-)
