Hi all, new here, but been studying this overclocking thing for a while and finally decided to go for it. My old Dell PIII setup was feeling a bit underpowered compared to the 2+ Ghz setups everyone has these days...
Here's mine:
1. 1.8A @ 2.52 (140 fsb) default 1.5v
2. Alpha 8942 w/ Sunon 50cfm and ASIII. (OK, so it's not stock Intel HSF...)
3. Corsair XMS 3200 (rev 2.1, cas 2.5) @ DDR 420 2-6T-3-3 (2:3)
I'm thinking this is very good, considering I'm running everything (w/ a bunch of drives, fans, and a cold cathode) at only 300watts. The pack date for the processor is 6/9/02, Made in the Phillipines. Does anyone know how high this one can go, preferrebly, at around 1.65-1.7v max? I can't test too much higher because my PSU can't provide the juice! I have a feeling I can get around 2.7Ghz stable with more juice. What do ya'll think? Even if I can't, 2.52 Ghz is more than sufficient for me....!
Anyway, been considering modding and OCing quite a while, and this is my first attempt (it's so danged easy these days!). My old 933PIII was crampin my style....so here I am! This looks to be a fun hobby
