AOPEN AX4C Max i875 Canterwood Mainboard (3)
Overclocker 21 Apr 2003

Benchmarking

Before we benchmark, we document the FSB the board is running at.

ASUS P4C800 DC-DDR400 (2-5-2-2)	202.04
ABIT BH7 (2-5-2-2)	200.49
AOPEN AX4C Max (2-5-2-2)	201.02
GIGABYTE 8KNXPUltra (2-5-2-2)	202.04

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 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 the AOPEN AX4C Max on board.

From the chart, we can see that the canterwood boards performs pretty good in the memory bandwidth tests. It scores a nice 4699/4700 at 201.02mhz fsb. The two other Canterwood boards are running at least 1mhz higher than the AOpen board.

We also observed that both AOPEN and Gigabyte which uses ICH5R seems to have similar results where ASUS uses ICH5. Will the south bridge affect the memory bandwidth or is the BIOS of the ASUS tuned more for performance?
