Who has the fastest Duron?

[Blitzkrieg]

Well not fastest comp overall coz i got ****ty graphics card but
anyways

Duron1ghz@1.5ghz
7.5x200

need to upgrade win98 to se or 2k, has missing dll files and not compatible with sandra sisoft i downloaded >:(

Otherwise i love it, nice and fast :D

[RockBoy]

look like asan will have to change his sig ;)

RB

[asanthadenz]

arghhhh wow,
Duron 1ghz@1.5 :eek:

But is ur system Super Stable :p
What Mobo have you got??
How high have u increased the voltage??

But i must say really impressive, its the first time im seing a Duron 1ghz@1.5ghz :cool:

ahh dam it, will hav to change sig to 2nd fastest Duron now. :confused: :(

[Antallica]

ohh that's gotta be a heartbreaker asan :( well u still got the mean desktop hehe

[Tojja]

Plan is to best that this weekend.....no guarentees, but will try to get past 1500

muahaha watch out asan.. g33kflat is after you ;)

[Nebulus]

I got a Duron 1.2ghz that will do 1.6ghz btw it's for sale $90 or highest offer (it still goes fine just upgraded to XP)

[Blitzkrieg]

i have an epox 8k3a
i want to get sandra so i can truly test it
i ran SuperPi and it completed it no problems, played some Aoe2
starcraft etc not a single problem so far

kingmaxpc2700
tnt2 (rofl)
SBlive
8gig Maxtor(rofl too)

ive also booted at 210fsb and it worked, but i get agp tearing issues :(

ive tried 1600 but it didnt post
highest ive posted is 1520 but havent tried for anything in between 1520 and 1600 using 1.85 volts
boots at 1500 at 1.75 thought id give it more just in case
tried booting at 1600 at up to 2volts and wont go
im amazed i got past 180fsb

next purchase i plan on is geforce4ti4200 i think not sure yet tho :)
only got a duron coz im waiting for barton

[Gh0s7 L3mUr]

Nice OC there Blitzkrieg :D

*Eagerly waits on g33kflats' effort*

[dustyslapper]

ATM I have my 1.2 nice and happy at 1.4

Just 140*10, nothing great. Stock voltage, never above 45*C either. I need better ram - I want to push this kk266 another 20mhz faster on the bus....


------------------> zooooooooooom........

[Blitzkrieg]

scratch what i said about not posting at 1600, i meant 1660 it didnt post at
it posts at 1600 at 1.9 volts, nearly gets into windows at 1.95
not sure if i want to try 2volts, its quite alot of voltage :)
hmmm i might still try
not bad for a 1ghz Duron eh? :D

[Blitzkrieg]

oh did i mention i havent seen it go above 35 at 1500? :D

Globalwin Cak38 version2 totally owns :D

[_N_]

I swapped my old Duron 1GHz POS Ocer for a new 1GHz Duron. Does 1.4 stable at normal V, boots into windows at 1.5, but soon crashes, most likely cause of not enough V and FSB so high.

This looks like a challange, :D

BTW, My room is 9°C at the moment, so it's runs pretty fast with these temps.

Well, I'm off to OC so more then, :)

Is that alot of Voltage? My PIII 550 runs at 2 Volts stock standard... back to the differences between AMD and Intel I s'pose

[_N_]

dude, compare apples with apples,

my 486 ran on god knows how high V, so.. it's not in the context,

it runs normal on 1.75, so anything of over 2V is pushing and killing it without seriously good cooling.

[whetu]

btw our durrie is watercooled :D

thats nothing, i seen the duron sitting in my box with 2.2v and a FOP 38.
Had it sitting at 2V on my system, ran fine without a hitch.....didnt really go above 48 full load.......

With my duron at 2v and higher didnt do anything to it, apart form scorch marks all over it (not the core), ran all good, still goes as we speak :)

[Humantuckshop]

Aww, you kids and your Durons. :p It's so cute. ;)

*gives each Duron user a lolly*

LoL - you sound like a Beurepairs ad :p
You're right tho. I just had to crank up my voltage to 2.1V to get it to run @ 120mhz FSB
Sorry all, I know this is the wrong place for my Intel :p

[Wibber]

486's ran at 5v and 3.3v..... WHAT STEPPING!... I have duron 600 @ the mo, and so could really do with a upgrade

[Wibber]

STEPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[_N_]

the old POS stepping was the : AHHAA
the new improved stepping is : AHLCA

[Wibber]

oh man I friend of mine has AHLCA 1.2gig and it won do 1.4

[_N_]

WOT? :(

my 1Ghz AHLCA does 1.4, u sure it ain't the mobo?

if it makes you feel any better my old 1GHz could do 1.2 95% stable. :D

[dustyslapper]

No matter how hard I try I can't get my 1200 AHLCA Z stable at more then 1370.

I thought 1400 was Ok, till I tried more then surfing and sandra benchmarks. Prime with 3dmark makes the system hang after about 35 seconds.

Thats at 1.93 volts - max my board will allow - I don't think its heat causing it to hang - the chips well under 50* according to Via HWM.

Any advice - this is my 1st AMD system. I am running it on a kk266+. Not really designed for Morgan chips - but it seems Ok - except for the 1370 top OC.

I was hoping for around 1500 or so:(

[Wibber]

yeah, this one does 1450 not very stable @ 2.05v, runss windows ok, but if you try anything heavy it craps out...., does 1300 @1.85v but only 1350 @1.95v, which isn't worth the heat in my book

[dustyslapper]

Weird how some chips are hitting so high though - what gives with the huge disparity with the same steppings?

[Humantuckshop]

Originally posted by dustyslapper

I would say luck. Some chips will overclock better than others - even if they have the same stepping........ Some people were lucky and got the high yeild chips and others, well, didn't.

[Theory]
Also the time of production can be important. There may have been a surplus of 1.2GHz Durons at that time and a shortage of 1GHz Durons so the 1.2's may have been clocked down to 1GHz and rebadged as 1GHz Durons, when in actual fact they are 1.2GHz Durons.
[Theory]

Intel used to do that, ie: some P3 866MHz and 933MHz chips are actually rebadged 1GHz chips. ;)

[Blitzkrieg]

mine is a AHLCA
not sure about other things on it, didnt bother to check
epox8k3a is a pretty nice board :)

[asanthadenz]

am i the only one with a Duron 1.3gHz in this Forums. :D

[Blitzkrieg]

for your viewing pleasure :P

[Volodkovich]

Blitzkrieg - was CAS are u running ur Kingmax at? Im guessing it must be CAS3 to get to 205mhz...seeming there only rated at 166mhz CAS2.5???

His RAM is DDR. There is no such thing as CAS3 DDR. Only CAS2 and CAS2.5 for teh DDR. ;)

[Volodkovich]

ohh sorry, me did not know that :)

[Wibber]

what if its ddr400?

[Volodkovich]

pretty much all DDR400 at the moment are CAS2.5, infact i dont think ive seen a CAS2 DDR400 stick - even the Corsair XMS range arent that fast yet.

[SilverPriest]

'Tis (semi) official!
Asan, change your sig!

[asanthadenz]

nooooooooo curse you Blitzkrieg :p

[I.R]

damn 41.75Mhz....... looks like you might have to bump up that multi by 0.5 Asan...... then you'd be in the lead by.......... um..... er........ 33.25Mhz ;)

[Wibber]

*pokes whetu*
still waiting! what'd ya do drown it?

[Antallica]

nice sig asan ;)......... oh the glory has gone :( whatever will you do now?

[_N_]

why not look at the biggest % increase, eg, my oc of 1000 to 1430 is more than some else taking their 1.2 or 1.3 to 1.5.

This is what my one is like: it's only at 1.85V, looks stable to me, I'm able to do 3d mark etc,

[Antallica]

_N_ you waste my XP 1600+ by lookin at that pic :D I dunno about performance but that's better than mine at stock, but that's to be expected heh :p.

[asanthadenz]

ohh N i must really admit, tht Overclock is one of the best iv seen for Duron 1ghz, Congrats.

BTW are those Benches fake, Duron at 2.2ghz. Hmmm :rolleyes:

[Volodkovich]

nah, OPP wouldnt fake them, i spose he was prob using his MX-EVA3 to cool this one to 2.2ghz...

ummm at this time I'd like to say that Tijs and myself are focusing on another challenge, however we did say that we would give it a shot this weekend. No guarantees however as we are both going to be busy this weekend.. busy as bugs...

*mutters off about the *other* challenge*

[KingJackal]

Yeah - if it's got OPPAINTER next to it, it's probably not a fake :D.

He has an Athlon XP @ 2.2GHz ATM - runs at -32C full load last time I checked.

Hmmmm 2.2 GHz.... coincidence? Or just MO have problems IDing his chip up there? :confused:

[Blitzkrieg]

N my Duron IS a 1gig :) sorry you lose there too :P

[_N_]

serious, :(

I'll have to look into it more now, :D

[Volodkovich]

well if it is a duron....im surprised hes getting that high of a score..i thought the athlons were a good 1-2k behind the p4's.

[mird-OC]

Originally posted by Volodkovich

well this is OPPAINTER. he's a hardcore overclocker... he's also currently running a tbred @ near 2.45GHz on ice water. and yes, it spanks some P4 ass.

[Volodkovich]

heh...i cant wait till amd bring out some proper steppings of tbred, I reckon they'll be able to get past 2.6ghz. *crosses fingers*

[Binky Stunt Cat]

lol, you've prooven yourself correct there.......

[kozmic]

good stuff :D

when i get my rig ima b out there to get the highest duron from 1.1GHz :)

[Blitzkrieg]

heres mem bandwidth
i go for max mem bandwidth so i only run it at 180x8 or 1440
so i guess the other guy can have fastest duron title back :P

[p01s0n_p1e]

hehe
we'll see what spanks some p4 ass when i get my system worked out...

heh heh heh....

[swiftynz]

/me has duron 1.1 on the way :D

hopefully its not as bad with heat as this bloody tbird :p

i'll be looking to run it at 1.4ghz most days, and 1.5 or 1.6 for benchmarking hopefully.... it is almost summer though :(

btw i used to have a Duron 1.2 AHLCA. it was a crap overclocker. got it to post @ 1400, 1.85V but wouldn't boot windows. 1350 was about its limit at 1.85V. it was stable @ 1300, 1.75V.

[dustyslapper]

I can't get my board to run at anything faster then 140mhz with my durrie 1200 - damn jumper selects dividers.

I therefore can only get 9853 in 3dmark 2k1 (http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4394244) with a ti4200. If I can get the jumper sorted and a stable chip at 160-180mhz then we would see a duron 10000 score easily.

Whats the best 3dmark duron score at the moment? Anyone else hit 10000?

[_N_]

Who cares about what CPU you got,
in 3d mark, the video card makes more difference at defualt res then cpu.
so, yeah, I'm on 4700 with GF2Ti and my duron

Games 1, 2, and 3 are quite CPU intensive.

Especially 1 and 3. When I have my Ti4200 at stock, I get extremely similar scores to the ones I get when I oc it.

Game 4 however...I seem to own in it compared to the other Ti4200s ;) Must be the 340/645 thing eh?

In saying that, I was running everything so hot the other day in an upstairs apartment during a hot day playing network games...so only ran it at 320/620 to save it from burning itself!

Anyway...with a Duron 850 (little old spitfire core) running at 1020 (170x6) I can get 7600...its REALLY sucking my system down, so perhaps a new CPU is in the near future...

[_N_]

just chuck in a new 1.2GHz Duron, :)

I find that it doesn't make much difference if I oc to 1.3 or 1.4,
oh well, :)

[Method]

**** you think u have a crap duron?
mines a 1.1 i ocd it to 1.2 it boots loads windows 90% of the time the v core is at 1.85 the fsb was around 140 and the multiplyer well i cant member.

i have a soltek drv5..

is it me or my rig? me guessing its my rig

[_N_]

nah, I don't think that being able to OC from 1GHz to 1.4 is crap,

but the performance increases are not exactly huge going that extra bit from 1.3 to 1.4, so it's not worth it. Especially with my cooling setup for winter mode not really coping with the heat.

[asanthadenz]

jst bought a new Duron 1.1 frm StylesPC 2 days ago, when they were having theyre Specials, i paid 30minutes after the specials were over, luckily i hold Dibs on one of em CPU's

Ill get it tmrw morning (Wednesday), Fingers XXX'ed, i hope i get the AHHAA stepping, theyre the best Overclockers for a Duron 1.1, will keep u guys posted on my Overclock tmrw, :D

[max]

i got a 1.1 AHHAA stepping and it wont even do 1.3 stably with water:confused:
good luck asan:)

where did u buy it frm, ?? if it aint frm StylesPC it aint a good overclockers:p jokes

i checked out a review of the Duron 1.1 in AMDMB's website and they got theyre Duron 1.1@1.4 (133X10.5), but not sure wht the stepping was.

Well only one way to find out, is to overclock teh **** out of the Duron tmrw, lol.

[_N_]

>>where did u buy it frm, ?? if it aint frm StylesPC it aint a good overclockers

my first duron was an AHHAA 1GHz and could only do 1.2 max

[Method]

i wish my 1.1 duron was abit better it can even oc to 1.2 it ca but its not stable and the temps are crazy but now my temp probe is broke so i dont know the temps

hmm mate, no offense but u got urself one ****ty CPU, either somethings wrong wif the CPU or u have bad cooling.

wht are ur temps btw

[max]

i got mine from blitz pcs (i know its not styles:confused: but i wanted it real quick and stylespc said i had to wait a few days)
If you look at the cpu db at overclockers.com you see that they are not that good at OCing. Average is just over 1200 mhz.

[asanthadenz]

Originally posted by max
(i know its not styles:confused:

I was only joking on tht part about Stylespc, :D

a good Duron to overclock IMO are the Duron 600's, 800's, 950's, maybe 1100 (not sure) and the 1300 (depends on wht board u got), i was able to Oc the Duron 1300@1500 with a Abit KR7a, which i sold btw, :(

Im plannin to get teh Shuttle AK35GT2 soonish

[Dawg]

Im gettin a duron 850 tomorrow hopefully......im gonna oc the **** outta it i dont really care if i **** it cause its only $50 so meh im gonna try my harderest

I oc'ed my 667 pIII to 700mhz!!!!! wooooohoooooooo 33mhz!!!!!!! i tryed faster but it just ****ed itself

[Method]

My duron 1.1 can only get to 1.2 and its not rock solid it crashes time to time but its stable at 1.188.

Its brand new so im wearing it in running prime 95's torture test in the background unless im playing games.

Also i suspect that the batch it came from arnt the best ocers D;

[swiftynz]

well i'm writing this on a new AHHAA duron 1.1.

basically i got it, unlocked it, took my tbird out, slapped the duron in its place and shes all go :D. in fact its never been running at stock speed :D.

as some of you might know, i was undervolting my 1ghz tbird cos of the heat (and running it @ 1200mhz) and this durons running sweetly at the same settings :). current vcore according to mobo is 1.69V (set to 1.60 in bios). so far i'm pretty happpy, i'll see how high she can go later tonight :).

[asanthadenz]

Default 1100mhz (11X100)

http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~desilva/4.JPG

Overclocked

http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~desilva/spec.JPG

1274mhz (11X115)

http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~desilva/nice.JPG

put the Athlon 1.2/PIII 1.2/P4 1.2 all in shame, mind you im only
running the system at 115mhz FSB.

Heres my temp btw

http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~desilva/temp.JPG

i dont knw ayy, i set the vcore at 1.85 in bios and it shows up
as 1.93v in the bios after i reboot ???


Just borrowed a 2B Pencil frm my mate (i only got HB pencils),
and will unlock CPU tonite,and post benchies and specs tmrw.

[max]

Asan i had to have about 4 goes to unlock my duron 1.1 with a 3b pencil. This is what i got in sandra at 130 x 10:

[swiftynz]

this is @ ~1200mhz (133x9).

i've been having problems running 133fsb. it works fine at 1200/133 but takes a while to boot (pauses at Verifying DMI data) and if i go higher than 1200 weird things start to happen such as when i tried to save the bios settings it froze and next time i started it up it would say CMOS checksum error. i cant reproduce these symptoms when the board was set to 100 fsb (ie 100-132) no matter what the fsb speed or cpu mult. odd. :confused:

anyway i'm trading the 1100 cpu for a Duron 800 (whats the point in having a 1ghz tbird for a server :p) + cash. so it looks like i wont get to try it out when its properly burnt in :(. oh well, its no faster than my tbird anyway. :)

[_N_]

yeah, it just show how important the spec code is when buying a cpu, I mean, compare my 1GHz Duron to swiftynz's 1.1GHz, :D

Strange PR rating...

[max]

i got a new duron 1.2 AHCLA stepping and it barely does 1.35 :(

[_N_]

ouch, my AHLCA 1GHz does 1.33 at stock V & temp,

[SecretSquirrel]

What is with that PR thing? I took out my Duron 1300 and shoved an XP 2000+ in it, overclocked it immediately of course! And it now has a PR of 2800?!

So does that mean it performs similar to a 2.8GHz P4?

[mird-OC]

the PR rating is kinda redundant these days. it's based on performance in comparison to a Pentium 66 or something.

[Antimatter]

Strange how PR varies with FSB though...just as a matter of interest.

[[H]arls]

Originally posted by SecretSquirrel

As I understand it, Athlon XP PR ratings are how the fast the chip would be compared to a Thunderbird core athlon. So an 1800+ (1.533GHz) Palomino is comparable to a Thunderbird 1.8GHz.

It really is a stupid system, I hate PR ratings.

[Sydog]

If AMD didn't have the PR system then they would fall behind in sales. comparing a 1.8 P4 and a 1800Xp although the XP is rated slower it will perform better. Now if some rich computer noob was looking for parts to build a system he would definately take the P4 as it is "faster". With this system AMD makes money from the noobs and the computer enthusiasts
