Prime stable for 24 hrs, full load 56oC after 24 hrs

Got it loading into windows at 1Ghz but prime would fail after a hr or so
Amazing what you can do with a pencil :)

Processor: Duron 750Mhz
Motherboard: Abit KT7A-Raid
PSU: QuietPC 300w Silent PSU
Ram: 512mb Cosair 133Mhz SD-Ram
 
You know, people are far to quick to blame there PSU nowaday, I have (and have got witnesses to prove it) run an AMD XP2500 barton on a voltmodded Abit NF7 with a gig of RAM in it at 2400mhz (240x10) at a Vcore of 2.23v, chipset was at 2.05v and the RAM was at 3.3v, add this with a vlotmodded 9800pro at 480mhz core and 385mhz RAM and you get a pretty demending system.

What was it all run on i hear you ask? a 230w Macron PSU, even with the 12v line dropping below 10.5v it still held stable at that speeds.

PSU's are not the be all and end all of overclocking.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

That sounds like an attempt to burn it with fire!!!!
 
Cope and stable are different though, 10v on a 12v line might work at stock speeds but you cant overclock like that. Thats what Ive found anyway

Yes, but a quietpc 300w psu, is a quality psu. No way they couldn't cope with a GF4MX!!!!

to clarify it worked at stock with everything in it.
But when i was overclocking i put a old gfx card in to reduce the load on the psu as i suspected 300w wasnt enough to reach the speeds i wanted, when i switched to the GF4 (previously working) it didnt even post.
Put it all back to stock booted up fine.
So i came to the conclusion the PSU was to blame :)

10.5v ? Sounds like your PSU was struggling tbh ;)

no **** sherlock!!!!!!!

It was a 230w supply, of course it was going to struggle, but that's not the point i was making!
 
I was being facetious. :)

What point were you trying to make? That a 230w PSU clearly can't cope? How does your 230w PSU not coping mean that a 300w one will? :confused:

Point i was making was that although the 230w was struggling, it was coping, it wasn't unstable and run like that for over a week 24/7 crunching seti.
 
i've got one of the old OcUK 800mhz durons that they guarenteed to 1 gig sat around here somewhere..

i could have taken it further but when i ran prime for prolongued periods of time the coolmaster wasnt up to the job (its in a media pc cage also) so it got too hot :) (in my eyes unless its 24h prime stable, its not stable at all, personal preference etc)
I was going to mod a zalman aeroflower to fit a socket A but decided it was more effort than it was worth for a few extra Mhz :)
