Shuttle SB61g2 rocks

[rally1275]

Hi, I just like to share my experience the Shuttle XPC w/ i865G chipset.

With such little space inside and a 200W PS, the little beast is running at 3.32ghz(limited by BIOS fsb range)!
13x255 w/ 5:4 ratio, using 1.625v and 2.70v for Vcore and Vdimm, respectively.

The 80mm exhaust/hsf combo fan is running at medium speed ~3000rpm.

Load temp = 49C
Idle temp = 31C

I'm currently crunching about 20 SETI wu's a day

If only the max fsb is greater than 255 in the BIOS...

Good to know the sb61g2 is capable of this. This is probably going to be my next upgrade, though I think I'm gonna be a little more conservative and just go for a 2.4c to 3.0 ghz overclock. What kind of ram and latency settings are you using?

I'm using Twinmos PC3700.
It's running at ddr408(5:4) @ 2.5-3-3-7 (SPD)
My sticks don't like 2-2-2-5, but I'll tweak each one of them to see what the most aggressive setting is.

have the same problem with my SB51G. fsb stops at 166. has a nice little 2.4b (C1) that has no problems running at 166 (2.98ghz) coupled with 2 x 512mb kingston valueram pc2700 sticks that can handle ddr333 setting (=208mhz). the whole thing is just begging for more.
