1100 MHz from a 600 MHz duron =]

[Navi]

Well. I was sick and tired of my p133 and a 14" monitor and 24MB of ram (it was great as a server when the beta engine of quake 1 came out, but that was it). Does anybody remember the rabbit in the corner?

So I built me a new system. A duron 600, an Abit kt7 raid, mushkin rev 2.2 pc133 mem in a nice SM 760A case with all the fans =]. I put in a few other nice items, but they aren't the point. It was nice, but of course I couldn't leave well enough alone.

I took my trusty 0.7 mm mechanical pencil and filled in the jumpers. Installed my Alpha heatsink and artic silver grease. Went to soft menu III and said screw it and tried 12x1000 @ 1.8V. No go. Well, how bout 1100 @ 1.8...DING DING DING...and it is still stable =]...@49deg C in moderate use

Who ever would of thought. My Duron isn't special or nifty, just bought it flat out. My memory is also at CAS2 @ 133MHz with all the bells and whistles enabled. My machines sounds like a vacuum, but what do you expect from 13 fans.

Hope you enjoy this little bit of fun

Ok, cool. Can you post a few benches and picks of your syetem? Thanx...

BTW: for what company do you design CMOS devices?

 

[Techwhore]

i'm jealous... i really thought my chip could do it, 10x110. The hardware is all good, but windows says "NO" and BSOD's giving me some crazy crap (different everytime) at almost any speeds over 1000... oh well, what's another 100mhz gonna do for me when i'm at 1000 anyway, i see very little difference between this and my old classic 550, oh well. Congratz!

Wow, that is sweet! 1100 from a Duron 600, if only they all overclocked that good

 

[Mustanggt]

Wow way to go that is one sweet system.

 

[StickHead]

Cool. Maybe my 700 will hit 1200

Navi: I'm impressed. My Duron 600 tops out at 900MHz on the same mobo. Of course, I don't have 13 case fans. More to the point, I'm using NEC PC-133 RAM (128MB). (Other relevant items: a Cooler Master DP5-6H11 Heatsink/Fan and silicone grease.) Do you think the memory is the limiting factor?

 

[Dark4ng3l]

If you send me your system I could "test" it for stability and return it in a few years

 

[VladTrishkin]

I'll just keep your chip

 

[Navi]

Well....like before I couldn't leave well enough alone and overclock my Geforce2 MX card as well....I'm waiting to get my broadband connection so I can download peformance analysis tool and I'll post the numbers.

My overclocked TI-85 still works great too...

[qacwac]

You overclocked your TI-85 calculator? To do what?

And since I ahve one I'm curious as to how.

 

[randomlinh]

that's an old mod, to make the games run.. errr graphs graph faster

 

[VladTrishkin]

from 5Hz to 6Hz!

 

[VladTrishkin]

No really, how the hell do you o/c a TI?

 

[abracadabra1]

1100 mhz is 1 in a gabillion (i know it's not a number )
my duron 600 hits 980 stable, but can't seem to get past 10. multiplier

they're great chips though, aren't they.

 

[Navi]

There are bunch of links for it in most seach engines...just use the keywords ti-85 and overclock. Basically, all you do is change one cap and more batteries more often =]

Navi, please reply to my other thread- on what does your case look like!

 

[Heifetz]

With that kind of memory, you should be running at a higher FSB. 100 doesn't take advantage of the good memory. When you run at a higher FSB, with a lower multiplier, it would be faster then the same mhz with 100FSB. I changed my settings from 9 x 100 to 8 x 113, and its definately a lot faster! With your mushkin, you could probably run at 133 w/o any problems.

Hey Navi ,you lucky sod! ,a damn fast cpu you have there

A good stress tester & system benchmark to run is SETI ,fancy giving it a try? (whilst your at it you could join Team Anandtech)*end of shameless plug*
