My IWill XP333 setup...

[BlvdKing]

Two days ago I recieved my IWill XP333 and 256mb Kingmax TinyBGA PC2700. Setting this board up was a breeze and went without a hitch, except for putting the IDE LED wire on backwards.

I recieved the revision 2.1 board which is supposed to have a better layout. Anyways, I have my TBird 1200 running at 8*175 MHz for 1.4 GHz. I'm betting I haven't maxed this board out yet either. It's fast and stable; this is a really impressive board! I highly recommend it for someone who wants an easy to assemble, rock solid overclockers board.

The only problem I ran into is that I found out the HS Fan my VisionTek GeForce 3 Ti 200 has seized up and now I have to send it back to VisionTek, which could take weeks.

Good to hear about your setup and bad to hear about your video card. I also have an XP333-R v2.1 and it was extremely easy to set up. I'm only running 145 FSB now, but I'm gonna do some more this weekend hopefully. A friend also has this board and he loves it. I don't know if you have noticed, but if you can use a 1/4 PCI divider it would be better. Run the Sandra memory benchmark with the 1/4 and 1/5 dividers. You will see that anything about the 1/4 cuts the the memory scores down Hopefully Iwill will fix this problem.

yes, i also have the XP333-R. it setup the first time without a hitch. runs as good as i expected...one thing though grendal99, does ur board have a xp333-r sticker on it?? also... i have a Xp1800 cpu and it locks up past 147...should i take it back or get a HSF(currently Dragon orb 3)??? and could someone point me to alink that has DETAILED info on on all the stuff this board has to offer ie vio and oc'ing the mem...thnx

Well, it looks like you may be pushing the CPU a bit too far. You got 1690 MHz out of it which is basically a 2000+; I don't think you can ask for much more.

About the PCI divider, mine is at 1/5 and the computer still feels plenty fast. How does lowering the divider affect memory scores?

Hey fellas, I just recieved my XP333 today, it LOOKS great. Hey AMDyababy, mine has a sticker on it. Get this ya'll ordered the combo of the Iwill xp333 and 256 meg OCZ PC3000 for like 189.00 @webuildpcs.com. Got the mobo in 1, I repeat ONE day later. Only thing is when I ordered it, I figured it would come together, in the same box. Wrong, the d@mn ram was backordered and now I can't do a darn thing till they send it to me. Heck of a deal if ya ask me, but I would REALLY have appreciated it if they told me it was backordered. Oh well, just my lil' centz.

-Peace

Did you have the 1/5 divider set when you were at 147fsb? Every review I've read had that board running at atleast 166 stable(with good ram), just change the divider and keep the pci bus in-spec. Although any more than 166 will probably require some multiplier tweakin. Good ole Anand had it up to 193 (1/6th) before stability became a problem.

I received mine today also but how do you look for rev 2.1. I can't find it anywhere on the box. I havn't opened it yet is it inside or on the box? Some please tell me where to look for rev 2.1.

It's printed on the PCB of the motherboard, right in the middle.

Well, I guess I have to post to this one. Good seeing you doing well with the XP333-R!! It is a great board! The 2.1 is the only revision they have for the XP333-R. It's the XP333 you have to worry about. How to you like the rotation of the socket? Pretty cool huh? You can see my system below in my Rig's page. (Don't feel like typing it all.

AkumaBao,Grendel99,AMDYEHBABY,LetapVJ and any other iwill xp333r user/owners is the ATX connector on the mobo still on the upper middle left towards the backpane ( area where just about everything...PS/2,USB,etc. ...connects ) and what HSF combo (AkumaBao you using a Dragon I see ) everyone is using ( temps too please ) ??

Yep, right behind the gamport. I'm quite happy with my Dragon Orb 3. Running at 37celcuis at full load. Plus I'm using 3 neon's in the case, and only 4 other fans. 2 intake ( 1x80 1x60 ), and 2 exhaust. ( 2x80 ) I guess the Digital DOc & the Enermax might have a bit to do with that though.
