Thugs don't u think that upping the core voltage by 0.22v (1,5-->1.72) is too much for the cpu? Aren't u worried? What is the max limit your ASUS gives u?

 

[SupermanCK]

Up 0.2v is not really that bad because there are many o/cer out there who did a wire trick to get 0.4v...what this wire trick does is that it give you 0.2v more to your default voltage...so you can overclock it even more...but i don't suggest doing this unless you have a good cooler and AC3...I myself is waiting for AC3 and a not bended TT volcano 7+

 

[THUGSROOK]

dbal 1.72v is just fine by me. my temps are very low, i aint worried. the board goes upto 1.775v max.

SupermanCK actually there are 4 different wire tricks - 1.7v, 1.75v, 1.8v 1.85v. the 1.7v and 1.85v are the easier ones to do.



anyone have any info on Turbo1 or Turbo2 settings?

 

[SupermanCK]

OH YEAH...I forgot to mention that...read it all in virtual-hideout and hexus.net
btw thug, did you up your voltage for your mem?
i haven't done any mem test yet @ 150fsb...i might as well tonight...anyone know how long does Memtest 2.9 test takes?

 

[THUGSROOK]

SupermanCK im using PC2700 ram @ 333DDR Cas222 - i dont need to boost mem voltage. its @ 2.5v.

been running Prime95 today - 5:15:00 and still going strong

 

[SupermanCK]

WHAT'S YOUR CPU TEMP THUG?

 

[THUGSROOK]

right now - 43*C
max temp has been 47*C

05:53:00 and still going

my temp goes down? um, ok

 

[dbal]

Hhhmmmmm......Running Prime95 for 6 hours already without a hinch @166FSB at this temp? This is reaaaaaaaally good scoring Rook! Congrats!

P.S: If it reaches 12+ hours shut it down. We don't need more evidence!

Let it take a nap

Try cpuburn, it will show if your system is stable within minutes.

 

[THUGSROOK]

still going strong....

08:41:00
cpu temp is 47*C / 47*C max
moboard temp is 29*C (yes i have a 10cfm fan on it)

im gonna stop it @ 10:00:00, if thats ok with everyone?

 

[dbwillis]

Yes, 10 hrs is good enough for me..gonna try 170fsb?

 

[THUGSROOK]

i dont think i have enough voltage left to make 170fsb THIS stable.
i might go for 167fsb & 168fsb, but for now im just going to enjoy it

BTW: i am running Turbo1 mode - but i still have no clue as to what it does :Q
...its nothing to do with memory cause sandra scores dont go up.

 

[Jwyatt]

From what ive read turbo1 locks the pci/agp to 35/72 respectivly.

 

[THUGSROOK]

hmmm, im doubting it locks AGP - that means it would drop me from 88mhz to 72mhz.
but my gaming benchmarks go up?
that doesnt make sense, they should drop with the mhz.
i do believe that it locks the PCI tho.

 

[Skawttey]

What are you using to monitor your temps?

 

[THUGSROOK]

Asus PCProbe (logging)

 

[THUGSROOK]

09:27:32 - good enough for me

FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.4976873836, expected less than 0.4

 

[SupermanCK]

I haven't try setting it to turbo-1...i am running everything normal as of now...i tried before when i just got all my parts...but it won't boot after awhile...but perfectly fine at normal except that beeping i get once in awhile

 

[Demonicon]

This thread=EVIL!!!

Here I am trying to lead a nice peaceful 1 Ghz T-bird into prime T-bred season and you start this thread. Now i'm try to convince myself I don't NEED one of these.(yeah right)

Now, I was already aware that the 1.6A OC'd very well, but somehow this thread makes it seem so much better. Hence EVIL

BTW, congrats on the killer system!

 

[Shimmishim]

LOL....

tell me about it demonican!!!

i have a t-bird 1 ghz running at 1.33 ghz... and i was goign to wait for the thoroughbred...

but i think i might have to go with this 1.6a o/c system

<< FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.4976873836, expected less than 0.4 >>



So it gave an error @9.5 hours? Don't worry rook-it reminds me of my case but it proved very stable so far. After all 9 hour successful run is already a very good score!

 

[DinoGucci]

wow its quiet. i think thug is sleep and his pc is hybernating hehe

 

[dbwillis]

Well maybe he needs some sleep after all that testing!!!

 

[THUGSROOK]

thx for all the big smiles guys

im more then happy with 9+ hours on prime95.
the system is still running great. im extreamly happy with it

im sure it wont be too long before i start going for 167, 168, 169fsb - id really like to get it to 2700mhz

again - this is right out of the box!
* no wire tricks
* no water cooling
* not even a high dollar HSF!

thx again for everyones interest and support
