Man this thread is awesome! This is exactly the information I've been looking for. I've been planning out my next rig and this is the combo I'm looking to buy at the moment. As far as the memory goes though I really like the looks of that Crucial Ballistix and it seems to be a great deal. On...

I can run stable at 247 FSB with a vCore of 1.600 with PAT/PAM and PM enabled, that is if you consider 12 hours of Prime 95 stable. I just can't go above 247 without moving the vCore all the way up to 1.7. At 1.7 I'm stable at 250 (and maybe at little higher, but 255 was a no go), I'm just...

Yeah it's a Rev 2.00

CPU-Z identifies it as a 1.xx. What's the difference? No other CPU or RAM to test with unfortunately.

I'm running an Antec Truepower 480. All the rest of my voltages are stable as a rock. It's just the vcore.

It doesn't appear that I'm going to get any higher than 250 FSB so I am just gonna back off to 248 and drop the vCore back down to a normal 1.6v. The extra 25 MHz isn't worth the risk of losing my chip due to voltage wackiness. I wonder how much higher these boards would go if the voltage were...

Well I'm still running at 1.7v and I thought I would mention I just saw the voltage drop to 1.584. Amazing....

Well this stinks. My system seems completely stable at 1.7v at 250 FSB. I'm guessing it's because the voltage never drops below 1.6v, it's the 1.728 at idle that scares me. :frown: Anyone here tried the "droop mod" to stabilize the voltage?

Okay next question. How much vCore is safe on these processors? I see what you guys are talking about with the drops in voltage if you up it. I'm still testing 250 FSB but I'm at 1.7 now. That's the only voltage that doesn't drop below 1.6 when under load. So far I'm stable but I'm letting...

Hi Everyone, I'm using the following settings since they are defaults for my memory and I just started overclocking, but I have a couple of questions. Configure DRAM Timing by SPC. . . . . . .[Disabled] DRAM CAS# Latency. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.5 DRAM RAS# Precharge . . . . . . . . . ...

I am running my P4B533-V at 163 FSB right now at 1.65V. So far it's stable, I've been running Prime95 for about 12 hours now. I'm running the memory at 2.7V and the AGP card at default. Sandra scores at little bit over 3100 at 2.5/3/3/6. My CPU Temp is about 2 degrees over anything else...

Finally! I figured out my temp problems. I just need to add some more airflow to my case. I had a feeling it was case temp related. So I put a fan in the side of the case right on top of where the Alpha sits. Now I'm maxxing out at 53 C in Prime95. :cool: That still a bit warmer than you...

I had the same exact experiences are you are absolutely correct! ;)

Well having the fan sucking or blowing on the Alpha doesn't make any difference for me I still get the same temps...maybe even a little worse with it sucking.

Actually I have the Sunon blowing onto the Alpha. I'll switch it around and try that. I have 2 case fans, one in front pulling air into the case and one in the back exhausting air. The are the fans that came with the case, I'm not sure what brand they are or what they are rated at. Thanks...
