OK, I've received my shiny new week 8 2003 JIUHB 1700+ Tbred B. The thing is my Mobo is the old KG7, so I'm going to need to hardwire the multiplier using the L3 bridges.
My dilema is this. I'm used to messing about with mult's on the fly and testing at this and that. Now I have to go back to the old days when we had 'GoldFingers' and the like. Except this is even more tricky, but that doesn't phase me. So I'm looking at the the best all round multiplier based upon the following factors:
- This chip 'should' do around 2.3-2.4Ghz, I have got the week and Steppings sorted, ppl report these speeds are 'easy' with this puppy
- My RAM ain't the best, but is PC2700, so is good for 166Mhz. The ABIT KG7 has not been known to breach about 155, so this is no problem on the RAM front but also a consideration on the multiplier choice
- Cooling is sorted. Got a GW802 with intake, exhaust fans powered by TT Smartfan2's on manual adjust. Chip cooled by a CAKII38, which allows my current AXIA to steam on at 1.54Ghz@46C@1.85v at full load(socket temp probe, sure, but a good guide). As the Tbred runs at lower voltage, 1.5v in this case and runs cooler anyhow it should be more than enough (I know, smaller die area, but not much smaller)
I am looking at a hardwire multiplier of 16 as I can boot at 1.6 and move up through the FSB options. This will give me a(very) theoretical 2.48Ghz max out.
Any comments?
