IC7-G Canterwood 875P Review (3)
Benchmarking Before we benchmark, we document the FSB the board is running at. Do bear that in mind when comparing results of the boards as a higher FSB usually will impact the benchmarks in one way or another. In our test, we run the 3.0 Ghz (P4 800MHZ) processor at 200Mhz FSB and with 2x256M Corsair DDR333 module at DDR400, CAS 2, 5-2-2 on the Springdale/Canterwood boards. For stability, we set the voltage to 2.7v for the DDR. On the ABIT BH7 (i845PE), we ran it using a single stick of 512M Corsair XMS3500C2 at CAS 2, 5-2-2. PAT is enabled by default on all Canterwood boards. From the Sisoft 2003 Memory Benchmarks, it is apparent that the IC7-G is quite strong compared to other Canterwood boards considering it is not running at overclocked speeds of 202 or 201MHz. It is at 200.48Mhz. Looks like most of the other manufacturers really have a bit more to catch up in terms of tuning their boards to maximum performance at default FSB. |
