What can i expect from this system?

[ollyjones]

Hey guys. Fairly new to overclocking and am wondering what kind of results i can expect from this setup:

2800 amd barton
Asus A7V600 mobo
1024 Corsair DDR3200
Saphire Radeon 9600 pro
120 serial/ata hd

All built into a CM 201 (the black one), which has 4 coolermaster led fans and a aero 7+ for the cpu.

Any input would really be appreciated.

expect to rma at least one of the parts (just kidding) its a nice mid range performer for games and a nippy peice of kit for desktop apps.

err he means what kind of overclcok can he expect. I should think you'l be able to run your barton at least at 3200 speeds maybe a bit more

Need any help ask here mate i know very little but we do have some overclocking gurus around

oh right i got my barton @220x10.5 it gives me just over 2.3 with a temp of 39-43 degrees. and my sapphire 9800 pro clocks well so if the name is nething to go by you should get a good clock speed out of ur card although the gfx mem speed o/c was a little disapointing. the ram performs really well against my mushkin there really aint a lot in it at standard settings. Although not sure about overclocking should be ok to at least 210 fsb and prolly more if you slacken timings (not really usefull though).
hope that helps a bit more than the last post

Thx for the replys. supose i will give give it a go tonight and c what i get. I will let you guys know what results come from it

You should run 3dmark01 (maybe even 3dmark03, and sandra ) before you begin to overclock and after it so you know how much of a performace gain you get. I would be personally intrested in your score myself =)

sounds like a great overclock mate.. good temps

Olly, let us know how you get on mate and have you overclocked your graphics card

[ollyjones]

just scored 10,035 in 3d mark 2001 se.

Is this any good for a score with no overclocking?

[steve threlfall]

Yes thats a good score but 3d mark is mainly telling you about your graphics

[dgr]

hint - i have the same pcish cept with a 9700pro. at stock i got 15000 3dm2k3.

its all down to graphics. ocing to 195*11.5 netted almost no 3dmark gain at all.

dgr

[evildoc614]

anything over 10,000 is pretty good.. from the reviews i have read the 9600pro after a good o/c you can get around 12000+. with My computer and my crappy video card iam bearly breaking 6000+!!!! so it goes to show a good video card will go a long way.

[ollyjones]

Is there any other benchmark that is free to download that will give me a score about everything my pc is doing?

[dgr]

sys mark
pifast
memtest

[ollyjones]

stupid question probably but where can i get sysmark from? I have heard of this b4 but just cant find it anywhere

Yeah your graphics really do let down your whole system mate
If its a money issue i understand.. im running a tnt2

[bouncin]

the guy a few posts up is right in thinking its grafix card orientated but when i increased my fsb to 200x10.5 i got an increase of 1,500 points go figure what speed ram where u running to get no increase?
