Overclocking a T-Bird 1GHz

[Imported]

Is there a large difference between the way a 1.2GHz or 1.1GHz are built, etc. compared to the 1GHz? If there isn't, would just bumping up the multiplier be enough to overclock a 1GHz to say 1.1GHz? I'm pretty sure someone has attempted to overclock it. If so, could you post your results and settings to achieve the speed you got? Thanks.

they are not built any different. they did raise the voltage on them to "increase yeilds" or what we like to call overclocking. just raise the multiplier and if it isn't stable make sure you have good cooling and bump up the voltage a little.

I bought my 1Ghz Tbird 1,5 months ago. It was not locked, so i was lucky i suppose. The highest i have been able to oc it is 1150Mhz (11,5x100) But it is not completely stable at that speed. (i get frequent lockups)
I have it running at 11*103=1133 wich runs fine.
I havent tried anything else yet.
The one thing i dont like is the pricedrop since i bought it $250 !!

ach well.

They should all be built the same way. The only difference is that (at least in theory), the 1.1GHz ones have passed more strenuous testing to ensure that they would run at the 1.1GHz speed. As for what people are actually getting, you may want to check out www.overclockers.com and check the CPU database to see how far people are getting with the 1G.

I feel your pain Bastard, I paid near $500 for mine. Thanks for the link Paulip, I'll be sure to check it out.

What settings did you use H4RM to achieve 1.2GHz?
