Thugs & Mikki, I happened to like the "funkiness" of BH-7... hehe.. :Q

I'd take a BH7 over a P4PE....

Alright maxSe, you just lost some cool points.... j/k bud....not my cup of tea I guess....I dig those silver ones Albatron is selling tho, and I've seen a black one that's pretty sharp....

 

[jpetermann]

It is a nice board, I don't really care for the color of the board though... me and orange don't get along to good! Hehe
By the way, I am in a Radio Shack typing this right now... I hate being away from my rig, but I had to check in and see how you all were doing.

Heh... Though I wasn't *thrilled* with its color, I think it's still whole lot better than the puky yellow PCB used by Abits of old (hmm.. I *think* there's another manufacturer that still uses them.. ).

Yeah, I like those Albatron ones also. I think my favorite would have to be a black PCB (big points for my IT7 Max2... lol...).

LOL... PJ is officially addicted to AT!

 

[Mikki]

PJ, lol! That's hardcore bud, I know a good doctor...

maxSe, how bout the green pcb's of old? I'd probably be more interested in colors if I was into windows and lights...

 

[oldfart]

<---------Could care less what color a PCB is. Its all about quality.

 

[THUGSROOK]

i never cared what color they are either ~ Asus brown or Intel green was always fine with me.

but Abit orange has to go!

 

[Mikki]

If the best in the world was hot pink, I'd have to think hard about it...or get the spray paint out....

 

[THUGSROOK]

If the best in the world was hot pink, I'd still buy it

i dont have a case window anyway

 

[Spicedaddy]

I like it, throw in some HyperX ram and you got that blue/orange P4 theme going on...

Who's the wacko that came up with the orange dudes anyway? Those adverts are silly...

 

[THUGSROOK]

i liked the old 3dfx commercials best

"we make the fastest computer chip in the world and what do we do with it? ......why, play games of course!"

Thugs, do you think with PC3200 or even 3500 you could have pushed more than 160 fsb?

Or is that chip at its limit?

 

[THUGSROOK]

its a chip limit - i of course tried 1:1 mode and went no further.

 

[bjc112]

COol thugz, i have the same setup right now, running at 2.89 GHZ running PRIME95 overnight...

Wish me luck.. This is stock voltage and retail HSF.

 

[bjc112]

Bumped voltage 5%

Now at 165 FSB, 2.98 Ghz, looping 3dmark and what not...

166 is 3ghz correct?

I am however checking temps in the BIOS immediatley after i run Prime 95 and seeing temps about 50C may-b 52.. i hear Abits are off about 5 degrees so i figure i can be at 3ghz safely...



Let me know...

Abit always runs .4 fsb higher than stock... sooo, 166fsb = 2.995. Just go right up to 167fsb (or 170 if you're feeling lucky.. ). You should be alright. The temp looks about the same as my SL6EF, so everything looks good so far~

Cool...

I am now running 167 FSB = 3.05 ghz..

I looped 3dmark benchmark 10 times and am now running metest 86...

I consider this CPU to be half decent and still think it might have more in it, however it is not my system and i just wanted to make it to 3 for the kid...

I'm in the Club!

I just dropped in a new SL6EF from Newegg into my Abit BH7 (6+ hours of Prime95):

162fsb......2925MHz @ default setting (BH7 undervolts, 1.488v actual)
172fsb......3105MHz @ +5% (BH7 undervolts, 1.575v actual)

I leave it at the BH7 default of 1.488v/2925MHz with Corsair XMS3500C2 512MB running 433MHz @ 2/2/2/5 (CPU : DDR ratio 3:4)

With my ThermalRight SKU-900U, ambient room temp 21C, average temps:

36C Idle
48C Load
