Only MAJOR overclockers need apply - survey!

Ha, you just want to be top of a section because your in lowly 34th postition.

You'll just have to clock harder cuscus97.

cuscus97 · 21 Aug 2005 at 21:06

darn

ah well, as i said, first Athlon 64 rig, haven't even tried further. I think i'll be in the to 15 by the time i'm finished (prepared hopefully to NOT eat words...)

btw, more info, the core is a Manchester, stepping is CDHBE 0527 TMPW.

cheers.

Mercyless, what week and stepping is your 3700? Also, what mobo are you using?

had a look,its the same as yours
CABGE 0515SPMW

Kesnel · 22 Aug 2005 at 10:44

Ah righto, thanks for taking a look for me.

I hope to be able to post some new clocks by next week when I should hopefully have my Mach II GT. :cool:

mercyless · 22 Aug 2005 at 13:17

nice 1,what you hope to get clock wise, 3.3 3.4ghz?

Not trying to be pedantic m8y, but the Pentium-m CPU's (aka Dothan in my case) are NOT P4-m's. The P4-m is a totaly different type of CPU so you might want to add/change your DB slightly

Anyway.......

Update 4 me

Dothan m740 @ MachII

Changed to Pm(s)

table updated.

Update:
Managed to get my XP-M past 2.6ghz

This is on-air with generic PC2700 at 2.5-3-3-11 and a NF7-s rev2 with Black Mantaray Bios. Stepping is IQHYA, chip is XP-M 2500. For some reason I cant get past 2.61ghz, Tried with low FSB and high multi and vice versa. Perhaps it's the ram holding me back? Any ideas?

cuscus97 · 24 Aug 2005 at 09:55

try really low fsb and multis like 16+. That let me get 2.8ghz stable, but it kills performance.

Maybe it's the 11.3volts on your 12v line! :eek:

cuscus97 · 24 Aug 2005 at 11:55

have you done the L12 mod? I think that's more likely, and i bet that 12v is just bad reporting (my nf7 said my 12v was at 12.4 when my multimeter said it was 12.01v dead...hmm)

Killajaz · 24 Aug 2005 at 12:10

Only the L12 softmod with the Mantaray Bios...dont really know what to put in the socket.
I'm know clocked at a measly 2.45 ghz and the 12v line is .20volt higher.
Could be my PSU.

cuscus97 · 24 Aug 2005 at 12:30

L12 hardmod is better.

Killajaz · 24 Aug 2005 at 12:57

WHat should I use for it? some kind of metal pin?
Length, widht?

Killajaz · 26 Aug 2005 at 09:49

Ok seems Ive found the culprit. PSU isnt up to the job. 12v rails become very low ;/
Weescott, perhaps you can delete my previous entries in the table. This is my best effort so far. PC2700, 2.5-3-3-11 NF7s, air, IQHYA, not stable.

weescott · 26 Aug 2005 at 10:02

Nice one.

I thought it might have been your PSU. My old NF7-S was very reliable at reporting the correct rails.

Kesnel · 28 Aug 2005 at 11:52

Update from me.

My 3700+ at 3.2Ghz under Mach II GT, unfortunately unstable. I'm nearing stability at 3135mhz (280x11), so far that's stable in super pi and the testing continues.

I hoped to be able to take the top A64 spot, but I'd need more volts; volts that my motherboard cannot give it as it tops out at 1.7v in the bios (around 1.66v actual).

Anyway, the clock:

Killajaz · 28 Aug 2005 at 21:47

What is that XP skin!? very nice mate. Oh nice oc btw

Kesnel · 28 Aug 2005 at 21:49

Thanks.

The skin I believe is called Ibar Glass. I'm afraid I don't have a link to hand but I'll try and dig one up for you.

Edit: Actually, it'll be easier if I put it put it up on my ftp space.

sagaboy2 · 28 Aug 2005 at 22:09

OK this is my first overclock, this isnt stable

2.45 seems to be stable with 1.76v
