Check out my rig, I have all good stuff. I just want to wait till I get my Alpha to get my crazy high speeds.

Uh-oh, I booted at 160fsb, but got windows errors, and somehow my temporary files got deleted.

System didn't hang though. That's just her telling me she wants more vcore.

Once I get my new RAM, I'll do the jumper mod and put it at 1.75 or 1.775 vcore and see how everything works.
I have a feeling I can hit 160fsb without a problem, with the extra vcore. I was only trying it at 1.7vcore.

Next, in the news, I may be getting a P4S533, due to my latest acquisition... A job! :Q

Thugs are you able to run Windows at 2864 mhz?

 

[THUGSROOK]

i am able to run windows just fine @ 2880mhz

 

[CrawlingEye]

Latest temporary OC, until I get my new RAM, so I'm not even going to update my profile with it...

I've been in the 10k club since 153 fsb.
I just had to back down to 150 fsb because I accidentally broke 3 blades off my AVC Sunflower though.

I'm ordering the swiftech heatsink with a sunon 80mm (50cfm) fan and my second steatlh.
After that comes my Samsung RAM, being followed by a new Antec case and psu, then finally if I have money leftover, a P4S533.

Be afraid...

Great Thugs just wanted to know , I'm at 2610mhz now and new samsung original pc2700 should be here soon , once I burn it in I will attempt to go to 2700 mhz slow and easy and wanted to know if Windows was going to hinder me .

 

[THUGSROOK]

why would windows hinder you?

 

[Barrei]

I read a review in I think it was overclocker forum , he was reveiwing the alpha 8942 and he said when he took the system to 2.61 ghz quote "of course windows wouldn't boot up " now I'm at 2.61ghz and windows is fine but I didn't know if it would be a problem going higher based on what the reviewer said , so I thought I would ask you as your one of the few who is above 2.61ghz.

 

[THUGSROOK]

generally heres is how "stabilty" pans out.

1) bios can post - yea!
2) it loaded windows - kewl
3) it ran 3dmark2001se - sweet!
4) it ran prime95 for 9.2 hours! - its stable!

im pretty sure that what he means. windows is a piece of cake compared to 3dmark2001 or prime95.

I'll be building a 1.6A (Costa Rica, 03/27/02 I think) this weekend for a friend on a P4B266-C so I'll report back on what we get out of this puppy!

 

[THUGSROOK]

Nighthawk69 make sure you do it in private so you can swap his chip for yours

 

[Nighthawk69]

hehehe

If his does more than 2561Mhz perfectly stable, then, yeah!!

I wonder why I can't go higher... grr... I got a "dud" Maybe it just needs to "burn-in" ...?

 

[THUGSROOK]

hahahaha 160 fsb - a dud - lmao!

would be nice to hit 166 with less voltage tho.

 

[Barrei]

Yes I have run 3dmarkse at 2.61ghz several times and prime for 4 hours no problem, but his article still made me wonder , anyways thanks.

 

[AgentSmith]

hey does the epox4bda+ also suffer from the usb problem ? or is this unique to the p4b266-c ?

 

[BadThad]

Hey thugs old pal! Can you play Quake3 for an hour without a crash at that speed? That's the ultimate test IMHO. Q3 is the ONLY app that ever gives me issues during an OC.

 

[THUGSROOK]

well actually i havent played much Q3 lately. Ive been plaing Serious Sam 1 & 2. from a stability standpoint, Q3 is easier on a system compared to Serious Sam. but for your sake, ill go play some Q3 for exactly an hour

IBBL

 

[Bobbyeyes]

i agree w/ thugs
there are games that are much more taxing on a system, than quake.
motocross madness 2 is a perfect example..
i could play quake for hours on a "borderline stable" system.
but start motocross madness 2, and you crash in just minutes!
i must check out this serious sam game that many people have mentioned.

 

[THUGSROOK]

played just fine

was seeing 500+ fps at times :Q

 

[SupermanCK]

500 fps...haha...
man...anyone play counterstrike here? I am getting random crashes to desktop...really bothering me...

 

[oldfart]

Thugs is correct. SS will crash a system sooner than any other game I have played. If you can play SS for a few hrs, you are in pretty good shape. UT is also a good test. Q3 is pretty forgiving. RTCW is also crash prone on a system that is unstable.

 

[DinoGucci]

ok my new toy!
i ordered a P4B533 today and my friend gonna hook me up with a P4 2.4B so i am gonna check this combo out wooooot!
i have a good feeling about this and i might sell my 1.6@2700 combo!
hmmmmm

Hi! Yesterday I got a BD7-R and a 1.6A from Malay with a 5/5 pack date. This was the newest I have heard of so I was obviously very excited. To make a long story short, I am running at 2816MHz with 1.7V and the stock cooler as I type. This speed seems stable, but whenever the temps hit in the mid 60's it freezes. I will order an Alpha PAL8492 later, but this chip seems to have extreme potential. I may try to get some screenshots up of the sandra scores when I have the time.
