YA 1700+ Overclock

[cessna152]

Yet another 1700+ Overclock.

I guess I'm kinda behind the bandwagon

1700+ DLT3C JIUHB
-12.0x
-200 FSB
-1.70 VCore
Epox 8rda3+
1GB PC3200 Buffalo (Winbond CH-5)

nice oc, what week is the chip?

 

[pillage2001]

Prime it?

 

[cessna152]

0310 I've had it for awhile just never got around to overclocking it until now. I'm using a SLK-900 as a cooler. Yea I did all the benchmarks after I had run Prime 95 for 12 hours.

xpmw or wmpw?

 

[cessna152]

WPMW

You've got one of the best chips out there. 1.7V is nothing.

 

[BaboonGuy]

what are your mem timings? also, great oc man. that thing is a beast

 

[cessna152]

I actually have not touched the memory timings. Don't really understand them yet. I want to read up some more on them before I play around with those.

512 MB Hyper X

I know next to nothing about overclocking so I'm going to ask a few basic questoins.
1) Theres no real problem overclocking with the default heatsink and fan is there?
2) If I were to increase the volatage what the highest I should go while being safe?
3) Whats a good benchmark to test if your system is stable with the overclocked settings?

 

[cessna152]

The heatsink is there to disipate heat so if your cpu stays at a reasonable temperature its ok. In general, if you plan on overclocking for the longterm an after-market heatsink is best.

MY personal opinon is only 0.2V over default. The higher over default hte greater chance the cpu will die earlier.

Prime95 is a good stress tester.

This is a good thread to start at Text

2.4 on 1.7v is sweet.

Nice overclock.

1.7V is nice for 2.4GHz. When My 1800+ was with Alpha 8045 it needed 1.75V to run 2.4GHz, but now only 1.7V for watercooling. A few degree DOES make difference.

I have a 1700+, but I got unlucky and got an "A" and not a "B" one from Newegg.

Most I can get with my stock fan is 1.71Ghz before things start going unstable I think. Maybe I'll mess with it more later.

Hands down that is a sweet chip!!! You got about a 1ghz oc on and amd chip and that means something....I think you could go to 1.8v and get that last 70mhz....

Good luck..how much did you pay for the 1700+ and when???

 

[cessna152]

I paid about $55 for it about 3 months ago? I bought it from Newegg as a retail cpu and lucky me got this thingy.
