Pushing a T-Bird

[AcidzT]

how far can a 900 T-Bird bew pushed? Im getting a Vantec CCK-6035D also, the POS $15 thing i got is junk and ive killed 2 freaking CPU's with it! Im getting a shim too

I'll be getting one tomorrow casue im upgrading, its not much, i got a cheap new MB with onboard justabout everything that i'll be adding to my network, so im taking the duron 750 @ 855 out of here and throwing in a T-bird 900

Well AcidzT.........tell em waht the Batch stepping of your T-Bird 900 is and I migth be able to help........I can give u a few ideas though.....HONESTLY...i know you'lkl be bale to get it at 1000MHz with a FSB of 133Mhz (7.5x Multiplier and 133MHz FSB) as i have a friends 750 T-Bird at 7.5Multiplier and FSB of 133) 1000MHz chip =) also have a freinds 800 T-Bird at 1000MHz with 133MHz FSB.....BOTH at default voltage.......and they both have ASII and run idle at about 42 Degrees Celcious.....air cooled.......

hell, you might get lucky and be able to run yours at 1.13GHz or even 1.2GHz......both with 133MHz FSB....remember....no matetr what, FSB ALWAYS makes for betetr performance over jumping the multipllier...so right off the bat, pencil in your L1 bridges, than drop the multiplier to 7.5 and raise the FSB to 133...let her post and try to load windows, if she works, than just raise the Multiplier up a notch (with Default voltage) and if she becomes unstable, just crank up the Voltage and keep trying =) I'm sure u already know all this, just givign some input =)

Thanks, i know what yoy mean, What do u expect i could get without changing the multiplyer?

But really now that i think of it thats really my best way to go, i have done the pencil thing before on my duron, the duron i have tho is stubborn so i sut increase the FSB (i think its at 114 or 115 now)

But i think i'll seriously concider that, mmm i cant wait to have a 1 Gig pluss machine

I have an Athlon 900MHz running at 1050GHz on the wife's system. Other relevant components include an FIC AD11 mobo, Volcano 6cu+ heatsink and a 256MB stick of Kingston DDR memory.

i have a 1000 mhz tbird myself...but if you really want to push it, you can get your fsb even higher. i fiddled with mine to see exactly where the pcis would cause trouble, since my cheap ass mobo doesnt have dividers. my particular chip gets up to about 150-51 fsb before things crash. of course the default is 133, wearas yours is probably a bit lower, but you still have much more room for improvement after you hit that 1 gig mark. 150x7.5 = 1126 mhz

other relative componets = thermalright sk6 + copper shim + sunon 26 cfm hsf.

Well using a SK6 and AS 11 I got a 1 GHZ 266 all the way up to 887 MHz but it wasn't all that stable so I backed it back down to 750 MHz

 

[AcidzT]

well i got my T-Bird 900, and i order all my new toys, its nerve racking to sit here on my Duron 750 @855 when i have a 900 t-bird sitting in front of me, i msut resist the urge to throw down my case and put her in, but i must wait for my new shim and heatsink, or i know i will break it!!!


But i do have a question whats the color on the Core mean? mine is green, i saw some redish ones there too, i think i rember its for telling where its made, is it a big deal?

Saw this and figured it was a loaded question...? (I`d say till it gets pissed off... )

Most 900`s only make 1Ghz some to 1.1Ghz... The 1Ghz AXIA`s were the bad birds of OC`ing
