List Your Overclocks..

[Homer]

Changed my settings on mine a little while ago. I got it stable at 2.2ghz 400FSB 1.675 VCore, i pushed it to 2.3ghz 420FSB same voltage but it BSOD so my ram aint too good for overclocking.

Besides that im happy. Temps have gone down and the performance has gone up!

Not so, you need to up your vcore. Your RAM is good;);)

Me did up it.... .25 :p

2800 Barton @ 2.27ghz 433FSB, Ram timings 2-2-2-6. Nice and fast. (Y) :D

[Arrowhead]

Homer, you need to push it to at least 1.8 volts to get about 2.35 gig, and if your prepared to go further 1.9 volts should get you to 2.4gig! although i find upping my FSB is sometimes a no no, which is why it is at 203, i tend to slide the multi up. Tell me how you get on.

The temps were beginning to get stupid even with 1.7, im talking 62-64 idle and around 70-75 under load.

I'll wait to get better cooling before i go further. :D

chicke:p:p

[Arrowhead]

62-64?? Wow, if you want a cooler for a sensible price i recommend a volcano 12.

[Homer]

Hehe in your face here samoa;

Earlier i pushed this thing to 12 x 205 = 2460mhz

As my power supply is crap i had to take the core to 1.8v... things were hot we're talking about 65 idle in the bios... god knows what it would go to if windows would actually start.

Anyway, just thought i'd say.

It did actually work though... :p

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

hehe i managed to get my 2400 to 2.490ghz...(@44 idle) but i think the rams craped out cos it deleted all my drives >_<

homer invest in beter cooling , your akasa just cant take the stress.. your rams good for it... and if only you'd do the wire trick like i keep telling you

Yeah yeah i know. I just need to find something good. lol

That's great. But probably that wasn't stable at all. My system can OC pretty high, but that doesn't make it stable. But just like you found, Heat is a problem with such a high vcore and multiplier setting;);)

tbred-b 1700+@2600+ 200x10.5 on an ECS: L7S7A2 using pc2100@ 184mhz cas2 safe timings(faster then the 3200 i got that only works at cas3)

can run prime for HOURS stable

use a tr2tt m2 cooler :)

this is by far the best mobo i have delt with and i have delt with menny got an fic au13 thats brand new tested it for a few days and desided i liked my ecs better (au13 is nf2-spp/u400 l7s7a2 is sis746)

also played with epox,abit,asus nf2 boards really the max manual multi of this mobo being 12.5 isnt an issue 12.5x200 would be 2500mhz thats a good oc for any barton/tbred cpu and i could get 233/250 fsb with a slight mod to the mobo (up the vchipset to 2v)

i can post and load windows up to 2300mhz but prime fails so i leave it as is

oh for those that dont know the sis746-746fx-748 are the same chipset just remarked and offical support for 200fsb

its the only chipset that acctuly LIKES running the ram async to the cpu(eg running cpu at 333 and ram at 400+)

[techquilla]

to what extent can i up my cpu vcore? i'm @ 1.75, a barton 2500+ overclocked to 3200+

how high is safe...?

[PF Prophet]

1.95 is the highest i have taken a cpu using air cooling we took a chip(1800+ tbredb) to 2.2 but we had a mosnter water/tech(pelter) rig going on the puppy the cpu never went over 36c and it hit 2.8gz (the board maxed out POS)

[techquilla]

i meant what should be the max vcore acceptable that won't harm the cpu....

[ShaneSparky_YYZ]

My P4 2.6Ghz C overcloked to 3.2Ghz :)

Bus speed from 800 to 960 :)

Idle 29C

Load 36C

[PF Prophet]

that depends on temp/cooling iomayho u could be fine at 1.95 as long as the chips not getting to hot just depends on the setup ur running

[edgrale]

I used to overclock my old Athlon 600 MHz to 666Mhz, just because the number was "cool" :devil:

[ram]

Here you go guys, Thus I pushed it more with the 233* and It was working perfectly but so far I'm so satisfied with this speed as well , @ the end I don't wanna fry my Cpu ;)

[ram]

Here's with the full capabilities of my M.b still working well at this speed :)

[Samoa]

2.23ghz 425FSB, RAM timings @ 2-3-2-6 1T. That's the best I can do just now with my current hardware. My two ram sticks are not working as well together as I had hoped.

[Khujo]

Tried to overclock my prescott more today, using a 5:4 divider and couldn't get higher then 3.5Ghz stable and performance wasn't as good as running 3375Mhz 1:1 with ram clocked @ 225Mhz. Oh well hope the next stepping makes some nice improvements to these chips.

[Samoa]

Correction:

I've gotten my system back to 2.27ghz 433FSB, CAS 2-3-2-6, 1.72vcore. :D (Y)

It runs even better with the BIOS update I did yesterday. But I had it there prior to. Which is why I'm not getting an NF7-S like I had posted. I've got my system running how I like it. I could easily do a bit better with better cooling. I wouldn't gain much out of the NF7-S over what I got now, for the same reason. So that given I don't have the money, I'm not getting it.

Instead I will set my sights on the Athlon64 3200 cpu and a good 64Bit Mobo. Well not for a while...anyway.

[digital vibe]

I didn't OC my CPU yet but I OCed my graphics card right now. I have an nVidia GeForce FX 5200 128mb original specs before the OC were core clock frequency 250MHz & memory clock frequency 400MHz. I OCed the core clock frequency to 316MHz & memory clock frequency to 500MHz. It runs very stable with no problems with the graphics or fan trouble while playings games and my cooling is good.

I did a benchmark before and after the OC. I used the 3DMark 2003 benchmark.

Before the OC 1213 3DMark points

After the OC 1312 3DMark pionts.

I know those points are nothing great but meh! My card does the job for me.
