How good is this Mobile XP stepping?

[XMan]

I'm still waiting on my video card before I can set up my system. I'm itching to test it.

What do you think this puppy will do? I don't see any exact matches on the overclockers.com database?

AQYFA 0343 WPMW

I just recieved the exact same part. All I've managed so far is 11x200 on 1.6V (potentially less) but it looks promising! I'm waiting for my HSF to arrive before I take it any higher (right now using stock coolermaster).

Good deal! That's 3200+ speed on less than stock voltage. Come on FedEx, get that video card here!

So far I'm at 1.65V, 11x200 on a Silent Boost K7. That's what I set it to when I put the system together and it hasn't missed a lick. The temperature sensor of the motherboard says it was about 48 degrees after being up all night downloading and installing programs . . .

I can do 12x200 at 1.75V, but it will reboot while doing 3D Mark 03 . . . more voltage, perhaps? How much is safe, especially without replacing my heatsink - Silent Boost K7?

I'm perfectly happy with 3200+ speeds, this thing is nice and responsive. I just got done beating Max Payne 2, running at 1600x1200x32 bit, all the goodies turned on, and it was like buttah. Would another 200Mhz be nice? Oh, yeah, but it's not completely necessary.

I wouldn't do more voltage unless you get some better cooling.

My computer I built up over the weekend has got a mobile 2400+ in it with the AQYFA stepping. I can't remember what week it is but it's a hell of a nice chip. I had it over the weekend stable @11.5x204=2346mhz at 1.65vcore. I had it at 12.5x204 @1.675vcore but failed prime95 in a few hours. I'm very pleased with its performance considering I built it up as a "budget" system. The parts include:

Mobile 2400+ cpu
biostar m7ncd Pro mobo
vantec aeroflow HSF
buffalo 512mb pc3200 ddr ram
sapphire 9600xt video card

At the moment I think i've got it stable at 11x200 @1.45vcore. I started the computer and played some games for a little bit but I haven't started prime 95 yet. If it passes that overnight I'll try and get the FSB up bit by bit and try to keep around the stock vcore to keep the temps nice and low. I've also got 3 case fans on the way and hopefully that will pull my temps down in the upper 30's/lower40's at full load. That will give me a lot of room to play with.

EDIT: a bit too much wishful thinking on how much my temps will go down

SECOND EDIT: 11x200 @1.45 was a no go, same for 1.475, I left here for school with it about a 1/2 hour into prime95 at 11x200 @1.5vcore. I'm pretty dissapointed in my HSF after running it for awhile. I was expecting a lot better performance out of it. When the vcore was around 1.7 the CPU would run very hot. It hit 61 celcius at 1.675 after the prime95 ran for a while. I honestly think it would have crashed before 10+ hours worth of it anyways so I'm going for a low temp stable oc at the lowest voltage setting I can get.

That is the exact same stepping I have even the week and wpmw is the same a 2400 MBarton.

Running 2420 Mhz @ 1.75 Vcore perfectly stable prime 18 hours now.


I did manage to get into windows at 2750 @ 2V but failed prime..my PS is a huge issue an I have one on order.

Anyway this might help speed you along.

The Mobiles that have steppings beginning with "A" seem to be OCing less than others, but they are still far superior to the desktop 2500+

1.84v

How high is too high? I needed major volts to get higher speeds however temps are not an issue because water.
