edit edit: Would you rather have (AXP): 166mhz fsb @ 39c or 173mhz fsb @ 49c

new new edit:

what would you rather have:

A: 13.5 x 166mhz = 2250mhz @ 39c (102F)

or

B: 13.5 x 173mhz = 2333mhz @ 49c (120F)


???

Remember kids, your bus speed determines the size of your penis!

/me votes for 12.5x176

Def. Higher FSB on Athlon AND P4.

Higher FSB, more bandwidth.

 

[edmundoab]

obviously higher FSB would be more desirable.

 

[MDE]

I'll take option B, 49C is nowhere near hot enough to shorten that chip's lifespan.

 

[high]

heh i'll take 220 @ 54C

 

[Corporate Thug]

higher FSB

It would be fine in the 60's..

Remember, the AXP core is good till about 92C i believe ( Not to say it will be stable though )

Are those IDLE temps? If so than definatly A until you can buy better cooling.

If those are LOAD temps then i would go with B, 49C load isn't too bad at all.

I don't think temp readings are accurate. If it can run Prime95 then the temps are fine because if it starts running too hot it won't function properly and will give errors. Even if it says something like 65C but runs Prime95 its fine.

Close enough for goverment work, and I completely agree.

just a question, how does that small increase in fsb result in a 10C difference? i would expect like 5C difference at full load tops...

the 1st one i can do no sweat at 1.65v

the 2nd one i have to raise the vcore to 1.85v via pin mod (there's no intermediate, only one big jump)
