2.4GHz, FINALLY!

[magnux]

Well, I finally did it! 2.4GHz on air!
Click here for a WCPUID screenshot

My Rig:
AMD XP2400+
Thermalright SK-7 w/ Tt Smartcase Fan II
EPoX 8RDA+
Corsair XMS3200 512MBx1
ATI Radeon 9700

Settings:
192x12.5, Aggressive, 4-2-2-2, VCore@2.025

Idle: 47C, Load: 51C

This required NO +VDimm increase!

Not bad at all

 

[THUGSROOK]

can those chips survive on 2.025v?

 

[Anubis]

yea id be afarid to run my chip at that voltage

 

[THUGSROOK]

id just hate to see a bunch of n00bies come in here, read this, and think that 2.025v is OK :Q

i can run my p4 @ 2.0v, probably get about 3.4ghz out of it, and fry it before the days done too

 

[magnux]

Hey now, it's not like I'll be leaving it at this voltage.

Currently, I'm running at 200x11.5@2300MHz. VCore@1.85, No VDimm increase... and it's stable.

Ram timings @ 4-2-2-2. I really like this nForce2 board.

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

:Q Yowsa, that's an awfully high Vcore for a .13 micron processor. I hope this was just a test and that you run it at lower voltages for every day use .

*edit* Even 1.85 Vcore seems a little high to me. Then again I've never been someone too agressive with overvolting.

 

[SFang]

Reaching 2.3G @ 1.85Vcore already made me uncomfortable, 2.025V might give me a heartattack. :frown:

Nice OCing BTW!

Hmm, well if you want to do something productive with that beast, get on the AnandTech distributed-computing team and cut loose. You'd be producing about 10 SETI@home work units per day with that rig even if you back down a bit, or there are a whole passel of other projects ranging from Folding@Home to prime-number searches (Seventeen or Bust), the UD Cancer project...

Seriously, it would be very interesting to see how fast your rig could blast through the "reference" work unit. SETI@Home absolutely loves low-latency, high-bandwidth, large-cache setups. Your rig should absolutely annihilate the current record-holder here, probably by at least 1/2 hour! Benchmark file is found from here and you would need to run the program with the -stop_after_process switch so it halts when done and puts its total time into the result.sah file. If you do it, please post the results If it aborts after five minutes or so, that's a sign that your OC has the system on the bleeding edge.

the cleanliness of that desktop makes me nervous...





but nice overclock anyway!


although, that voltage makes me nervous as well...

 

[ChampionAtTufshop]

have there been any STDS reported? (sudden tbred death syndrome) similar to SNDS (sudden northwood death syndrome) caused by gate oxide breakdown??

Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

What only 2.4ghz?

 

[panhead49]

2.0 - 2.1 is no problem for a 18 micron chip............but 13.......uhhh.......dont do it for very long.....(please).........o buy the way.......killer o/c..!!!

nice going.......

LOL. I'll give 2.5 a try, just for you.

.. and for my next trick, we'll see if she'll do 2300MHz@250FSB -- stay tuned!
