<< Heres the Prime95 benchie results for those that care... >>


You know I do....! 😉 How many hours did u left it running eventually? Did it give u any errors?
 
at this point, IMHO 166fsb is 100% stable @ 1.69v (1.7v setting).

im not a big fan of Prime95, but just out of curiosity i let it run for 2 hours - error free.
i wont add voltage, kill my system, or go crazy over Prime95 - but eventually i will let it run for as long as it can. ill post those results when completed.

i also ran some of those promised HD benchmark in hopes of finding out if there is a 1/5 PCI divider somewhere. the results showed nothing obvious, but does hint that there may actually be a 1/5 divider at 166fsb and maybe even 150fsb. ill keep trying to get more info on that.
 
I totally agree with you thugs-u know Prime gave an error in my o/c after 7 hours bit I don't care much either since for 5 days now it's been extremely stable in heavy use plus the all night run of 3DMark2001. I would be 1000%confident if Prime was ok for 12hours + but it's ok. 100% confidence is also enough for me! 😀😉

Superman CK,
What host:memory ratio are you running?

Currently, my system is stable (5+ hours on prime95) on
150fsb, 4:5, Corsair xms pc2700 512 CAS 2-3-3-6
all default voltage and 42c
🙂
 
I just wanted to say that I ordered my 1.6A, P4B266-C and 512MB Samsung PC2700 from NewEgg and it shipped today... it should be here Wednesday!! 😀 😀 😀
 
Nighthawk69 thats great - let us know how well she does 🙂
very interested in how well that Samsung runs too.
its only rated cas2.5 but ive heard some really great things about it.

gluck 😀
 
Will do 🙂 I also read a lot of good stuff about overclocking the Samsung PC2700 and that's why I elected to go with that over the XMS2700 from Corsair (also because it's cheaper too) and if I can get the same overclock for cheaper, well I'm there 😉
 
DinoGucci hahahahaha 😉

Nighthawk69 well be waitin impatiently for that thread 🙂

SupermanCK ill plug a speaker into my board and see if it beeps for me or not. (i never leave those things in my cases)
 
Removing the 'aluminum foil' (i.e. graphite thermal transfer sheet) did not destroyed the HS. As long as you are using a thermal compound it should be OK.
 
SupermanCK no beeping as of yet. (except for the single "beep" while booting) ill msg you if it ever does.

BTW: you can use an LED light insted of a speaker 😉
 
i know alot of ppl that hate hearing that speaker but still want to be able to recieve visual msgs from it.
i had them hookup one of their xtra case LEDs (HD2 or 3 etc) to the board insted of the speaker - they are much happier with it that way.
 
thug - where exactly is the other hdd led at on the p4b266-c?
I think i rather do that cause i am sick of the beeping...and i want to play around with the FSB at night...but I can't cause my gf is sleeping most of the time
 
no no no - you have it backwords.

take a case LED and plug the leads into the same 2 connections that the speaker used on the board.
the LED leads will need to be the "split" type so they can spread 4 pins away from each other. (like the speaker) take a looksee in the manual, youll see what i mean.
 
i guess you dont have the "split" type huh? 😉

cut the wires and splice them together so the LED has the speakers connector. doesnt matter which wire goes to which.
 
<< UPDATE >>
altho i was 100% stable w/1.69v, on a whim i decided to up the vcore another notch giving me 1.72v. i re-ran all my benchmarks and they all ran faster - so ill leave it here @ 1.72v 😀

i also tested the Normal/Turbo1/Turbo2 options in the bios.
Turbo1 mode ran noticibly faster in all benchmarks.
Turbo2 mode ran noticibly slower in all benchmarks. 😕

im still not certain, but i think Turbo1 may have "PCI lock", and Turbo2 may have "PCI & AGP lock". being the gamer that i am, im using Turbo1 mode 😀

any P4B266 owners have any info on this?
