so i wont need the wire mod right??..
wire mods also help you bootup - when it cant.

Isn't setting voltage this high dangerous??
i donno - DinoGucci is running @ 2.0v

What is the default voltage setting for highest Ghz available
Intel chip right now?? (2.53Ghz??)
1.5v

 

[SupermanCK]

Thug - are you running loops??? how's the stability??? try any higher??? keep up the great work man...

 

[THUGSROOK]

im running my all my usual 6 hour loops, etc.

everything is 100% stable so far

YOU SON OF A BITCH 2800MHz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE GOD! Mad props on a 1200MHz overclock!!! Just wait when I get my 2.4GHz and granite bay ... you just watch

thx for all the big smiles guys and girls

anyone taking bets on 180fsb/2880mhz yet? hehe

 

[Barrei]

We know better then to bet against you dude.

$20,000 and my mother for the 180fsb .... heheh ..... what is the setup you are currently on .... I read you got alot of new stuff but what did u use for the 175fsb? Im still amazed ..... 175fsb!

[THUGSROOK]

SSXeon5 all of my current system specs are listed in the main post of this thread.

Thugsrook:

At what point did you determine you needed the wire mode ?

Could please explain ?

Regards,
Jose

 

[THUGSROOK]

jose wire mods are needed when the system will not cold boot when overclocking.
in my case i couldnt cold boot consistantly @ 171fsb.
w/o the wire mod the CPU will only get 1.5v to bootup from the off state.
w/ the mod it now gets 1.7v.
of course my max vcore can be alot higher now too - upto 1.975v in bios

HTH

 

[jose]

Very Clear explaination.

Thank You
Jose

 

[Shimmishim]

can someone explain this wire mod to me? or a thread that explains how to do it?

thanks!

 

[THUGSROOK]

Vid Pin / Wire Mod info here

i actually didnt wrap the pins. i made the wire into a small "U", dropped it into the cpu socket, then installed the cpu. went very easily.

 

[THUGSROOK]

i started a new thread for P4 wire modding - please post those questions there

UPDATE
i passed all my stabilty tests using 1.84v.
its running a little hot (49*C max) so im now gonna lower the voltage to 1.82v and see if its still stable. (and hopfully cooler)
i wanna gather all the info i can before trying for 180fsb

 

[zzzz]

mod, can you delete this thread? It makes me unhappy with my 1.6@2.4ghz

 

[THUGSROOK]

ok we seem to be on to something here....

using the overvolt jumper makes the system & vcore unstable. :Q

 

[THUGSROOK]

zzzz

 

[Nighthawk69]

Exactly my findings Thugs.

I've had some bluescreens with the jumper on that I didn't get with it off. I think there are a few problems with that jumper besides the fact that it also takes a higher setting in the BIOS to get a given true voltage than it does with the jumper on default to get that same voltage (core).

I think the best way to go to get more voltage is the wire mod and NOT use the overvolt jumper at all (set it to default).

 

[Nighthawk69]

Also, I changed my BIOS to Normal instead of Turbo1 at 150FSB--which apparently does not lock the PCI/AGP dividers--and my benches jumped up a little bit and it's still perfectly stable so far.

 

[THUGSROOK]

Nighthawk69 yep, do the wire mod - ignore the overvolt jumper.
from what im told, the mythical AGP/PCI lock is set for 37PCI / 74AGP. so for you its prolly not much different. you still need a better PSU tho

 

[Nighthawk69]

Yeah, yeah...

Hi. I have now read the hole thred so far and damn it's a long one . So why don't I just say a little thing... u might want to check out this link for some SERIOUS P4 overclocking
One crazy jap managed to OC his 1.60A to a CRAZY 3765.88 Mhz !!!!!!!!!!!

Check it out

 

[boObYtRap]

btw, thx to this thread I'm buying a P4B266 mobo instead of the Abit TH7II i was thinking of.

Camma its a crapshoot. it just makes sense that the bare board would have better chances. right now im @ 2800mhz 175fsb - how could i not recommend this board?

How the heck do you keep temperatures that low with a 27 cfm fan?

what's the stock intel fan rated at again?
