2.5a to 3ghz story...

[fkloster]

1) Bought Asus P4T-E for 145 bones.
2) Flashed it to 1007e
3) Flashed to become an Asus P4T-533c with bios 1006c (asus P4T-533c bios) now worth 175 bones
4) Bought Retail P4 2.5A w/C1 stepping and threw away retail HS/F
5) Attached cpu to mobo then used AC3 in conjunction with a Swiftech MCX-478 and a Delta 80mm 80cfm 'blowing' not 'sucking'
6) Cranked the voltage to 1.7 volts
7) Set the FSB to 120 and the PCI/AGP speed to 30 (as the new 9700's are very sensitive to OC'd fsb's...

Walla...rock stable @ 3 ghz!!

any questions?

Yeah...these "bones" you keep talking about. Which online vendors accept these? I have hassled with Newegg and Googlegear to no end; and no matter how many chicken bones I offer them for a product, they refuse. Do you buy your parts from a local shop? If so, please let me know where they are, as I live in Oregon as well!!!



Nice overclock, though, fkloster. Did you buy a new P4T-E after you flashed your old one dead? Or did you and dexvx figure out a way to fix it? Congrats! (But you beat my o/c......I guess 2.85GHz aint what it used to be)

congrats fkloster...where are your benchmarks?

 

[fkloster]

No this is the new P4T-E....old one is dead. I'm not into benchmarks but I did do 3dmark 2k1SE see my sig

Is that all your 2.5 can do? j/k Nice oc!

What's the stepping on your cpu?

 

[SupermanCK]

C1...all 2.5 are C1 stepping

 

[LouPoir]

Excellent

What happened to your old P4T-E? Nice overclock BTW.
You always got the top of the line stuffs.

Edit: Ok, I did a search and found out what happened about your old P4t-e. Sorry for your lost. Don't throw away the board, someone might want it. Also, what is C1 stepping? Shrink die?

 

[ronnie0738]

I didn't mean what core revision, but what is printed on the CPU (S-code)? Like mine is SL683.

 

[Asrial]

Neat. You can flash a motherboard into thinking it's another motherboard?!

What are your temps? (Full and idle please). Oh by the way, I couldn't find the 533-c bios v1006c, only 1007c on the Asus website.

 

[BadThad]

Did you try any lower voltages?
