oh yeah...guess i should have mentioned that this was on stock cooling... ;) and i'm not kidding either. 310 is about the max i can do, though. if i push it any higher then 3dmark locks up and freezes and then "skips" sections of the tests...

the 14k score i got i am unable to publish because the processor speed was "fluxing". i did run the test just a little while ago, though, without so much of an overclock. i can put the link up, but i'll need to go get it first...be back with an edit soon...

edit - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=6889090

there it is...

yea I get that too with my core at 310, it locks up for a few seconds then resumes, sometimes it locks up more than once and when it resumes, it skips parts of the test and the skipped parts appearently dont count, thus really hurting my score. You must really have a champ ti4200 core, many cant do even 300MHz, not even a3 reguardless of what some say, well 300MHz is possible on any core, especially a3 but far from guaranteed netherless, a3 is the best chance but not a sure shot at 300+ good air cooling will gain you a little as well. anyway I never got speed flux, 3dmark either crashed to the desktop or locked up with an excess cpu oc. anyway if you can get 210+ fsb and 2.4+ GHz you can get mid 14k :)

yeah. i actually had my fsb to 202 giving me 2.525 GHz. i think i can push it farther, i will just have to see, though. and it's going to wait until i get more time, especially so i can get win2k installed to see if i can pick a few more points there... :)

Thought you said reinstalling for 3DMark wasn't worth the hassle... :p;)

Anything for a few points huh?:D

If you're running a Ti4400, I'd suggest you just get the 3DMark 2K1, not the 2K3 version. With no DX9, you'll get really really crappy scores and we're all talking 2K1 (mostly) here so it's easier to compare if you use 2K1 as well.:cool:

Look forward to your scores! :)

When the 3DMark bug bites you, it's bad, real BAD!!! :eek: Hell, I even clasp my hands inprayer when I'm running 3DMark, yer never know if the GOD of 3DMark is listening!:p :D Anyway, the race for top dog in Ti4200 class is getting real hot, I'm always at the sidelines cheering you guys on!:D Keep on benching, dudes!!!:D :eek: :D

Yep.. I'm here cheering you all on also! :D

Hey Shultz,
Don't mind if I ask you a question : Just checked your sig, you're using an SLK800A and the Sunon Tornado :eek: , what's your temp like?:confused: Reason for my asking is that I've been thinking of getting the Tornado myself.;) Also, is that badboy loud?:confused:

hehehe.. good for you Shark! Look forward to some more 3DMakr scores from you! :D

3ed place looks like its reachable, i hope i can get there, if not, as long as i beat my old score i'll be happy, i really wanna take the potential of PAT and higher FSB for my chipset. :D :D lostlilchild6 watch out..

SHARKYPINOY IS GOING BACK INTO the top 5

sorta, its more like upgrading for me, because i'm building my cousin a computer, and i'm just putting my current motherboard in that computer and maybe pop a celeron in there, (she only needs for web surfing/homework/research) and its only costing me 70$CND for the new motherboard instead of buying a brand new one...
