Personaly I think it was the cooler, not the motherboard... you ever see what a cold winter day does to auto engines?

I'll wait for the GB prices to decrease before I'll buy one. Considering the only games I play are Starcraft and Star Wars Rebellion, my main computer is really overkill (1.6 Williamate @ 2.336GHz, plus a secondary 2GHz celery @ 2.88GHz). The only reason I have these fast computers is to crunch away on SoB for TA .

How the heck did you get a 1.6 Willamette to oc to 2.33ghz????? That would be a record as fas as I have seen...Most northwoods when they first came out could not do that....


Edit: Willamette is a river that runs through the middle of downtown Portland, OR and then merges with the Columbia just north of downtown on its way to the ocean....

Very simple. It's called an Abit BE7-Raid
That and I took the IHS off the CPU. Doing that added another 200+MHz (Forgot what I had it at before I removed it)
It will also go faster @ +15% voltage, but it is not stable.
I thought they were called Williamates?
In either case it is the 256k cache version

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, I feel right at home from the start

I just noticed that you are from Sweden. I suggest you look around for an OEM SL6S2 2.53 processor. At the moment it is your best bet to hit the FSB you desire..

You want an SL6S2 2.53 CPU.You still are not guaranteed a big overclock but its your best shot.

So what you're telling me is that I would have been better off with a 2.53 tray than the 2.66 vanilla box I got? I just knew I should have posted here before getting the gear Oh well, I'm stuck with the 2.66 now but I'll keep my eyes open for the 2.53 OEM SL6S2 for future "upgrades". I see tray versions here and there at retailers in Sweden, but I never see anything even close to hinting it would be a "SL6S2". I'll keep looking though.

if you really needed 1.625v to run 150fsb, you aint going no further

That's the thing. I can't get 150fsb stable with a lower setting than 1.625V. 3DMark 2001 crashed in the nature scene test with 1.575 and at 1.525 it wouldn't even boot. I'm not feeling brave enough to go past 1.625V

If I understand above correctly, you should be in slots 0/1 or even better 2/3.

I'll take that as a lesson in not posting when the eyelids are kept open with matchsticks. I really didn't mean 1/3, I meant DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1. They *are* closest to the CPU though so I'll move them to A2 and B2 later on. I figured I'd put them in A1/B1 to make it easier to install a possible future set of sticks, but I don't really plan to get more RAM very soon so it doesn't matter.

One important piece of information that you did not list is the sSpec, Mfg code, etc.

This is what it says:
Pentium(R) 4 Processor 2.66GHz 1.525V max.
System Bus 533MHz 512KB L2-Cache PGA-478 Pkg

PROD CODE: BX80532PE2667DSL6EH
MM#: 849344
FPO#: Q252A455
VERSION#: C10945-002
PACKDATE: 02/21/03

I don't really know what the different #'s really stand for (except packdate..), so I'll leave it up to you guys to tell me

Another question, I haven't messed around with WPCREDIT and WPCRSET, but would you think I'd get some boost from setting the corsairs down to 2-2-2-5 or even 2-2-2-6, or would it be a marginal boost not really worth the hassle?

Thanks again for all the replies!

It is a newer chip...It is a Malaysian week 52 of 2002....It should do 3ghz+....

ic we have new icons...

WOW!!! I need to come up with uses for half of this stuff now....:evil::moon:

huh!!!

im only running 1.6v bios which equals 1.648v idle.

i ran 1.625v (1.67v idle) only out of curiousity, and for the sake of the thread of course.
these chips get very hot running this fast ~ adding vcore only makes things hotter and for very little result.

new IMHO: 1.65v idle max on C1s, or youre gonna deal with some serious heat above 3ghz

Yep, and when you have a P4G8X which overvolts even more, it's brutal. I'm happy with 3.3ghz at 175fsb with 1.55vcore. Much lower temps than at 1.6vcore for only 2-3 more fsb.

 

[THUGSROOK]

Thor86 ~ ill assume your board overvolts that 1.55v to 1.625v idle in windows?

Yeah, it hovers around 1.6-1.62.

I just put together a 2.53 Intel that I got from Outpost together for a buddy. I got a BH7 and some Corsair pc3200 256mb. I got it stable at 3.49 +15% vcore 184 fsb with 4-5 divider. Anyways in Sandra cpu arithmetric benchmark score was 6113 and 2280/4582. Is it me or does this score seem low? The memory bandwith is great at 3567/3327. He wants 512mb of ram so I ordered Corsair pc3500 thinking it will oc some more. With 1-1 186fsb was stable but 191fsb was a no go unless I uped the vcore and then it starts running to hot and beeps. Right now I have a AVC Sun Flower on there and seems to be doing good. Frostytech gave it a good review and it's only 26 delievered. I'm thinking now that I should have gotten the newer AVC that was 10 more. Could someone please post or PM me some scores and some thoughts? Maybe some BH7 tips?

 

[THUGSROOK]

you might wanna ask that in a BH7 thread ~ or start a new thread

 

[LastRide]

Early night tonight eh Thugs..LOL.You said the CPU had a couple bent pins did yeah,back she goes.

 

[THUGSROOK]

oh dont even remind me

(2.26b)

...on the verge of something extreamly fun ~ then hit a wall

im sure we (Erik and I) saved quite a few ppl some $ tho

 

[LastRide]

I'll have to agree with you there about saving people some money.There is not much else new to test out there other than another SL6S2 or SL6RZ.Maybe when the new Canterwood and Springdale mobo's come along.

[DragonReborn]

Are we all going to get the Springdale? Or see what AMD has up its sleeve? Personally, I want to see what the 800fsb 2.8 can do... =)

Remember the Springdale is supposed to be a canterwood that didn't pass....hense binning...
