I am not all that happy w/ .................P4 3.1Ghz.

[TimeKeeper]

Okay, maybe I should say 2.4B!
1.65V for only 3.1Ghz (173X18)???? that's only 700Mhz increase w/ 0.125V increase!!!!!!

I had a 1.6A running 2.4Ghz @ 1.65V too........and that's 800Mhz increase w/ only .05V increase.

why are you guys seems so happy w/ 2.4B?

 

[Krk3561]

Umm... 3.1GHz is a great overclock and so is 2.4 for the 1.6A. Are you using air cooling and what mobo and ram are you using?

I am happy with my 3.1 chip 🙂

Are you seriously upset that you can "only" get 700MHz o/c???? :Q I'd take that o/c myself...

Definantly, TimeKeeper must be a little off. AMD people are happy at a 400MHz overclock.

I feel for you TimeKeeper I certainly missed my 1.8A@2.66 1.525v when my recently purchased 2.4B C1 won't even go above 2.7! Hm... but then again it could be the P4PE AGP/PCI lock issue that I just learnt in another thread give that a try tonight... Fingers crossed.

 

[TimeKeeper]

well...its just..hmm..................I was hoping to get at least 800mhz out of this CPU.
I am using Abit BE7 non-raid.
And VT PC2700 RAM

Although, it will post @ 3240 (18X180), but I am not going to go higher than 1.65V though...🙁
And I am sure my RAM can handle it, as it run 200Mhz on my nForce2 mobo.

Actually, my XP1700 (1.47Ghz) is happily running at 2.1Ghz. That's also close to 700mhz increase.


p.s. I use stock cooling for Intel
I use Dr.Thermal's HS + 60-80mm adaptor + 80mm fan.
I can't stand loud noise..

Isn't that a .15V increase?

Neither can I. I found a nice combo. Alpha 8942 and a Panaflo L1A. Very cool and Very quiet.

I went from a 1.6A @ 2.4 @ 1.675 Vcore to a 2.4B @ 3.06 @ 1.55 Vcore and am very happy with it. To get that last extra 100 MHz usually needs a bunch more Vcore. I'm keeping my Vcore low this time. The small increase in MHz is not worth it.

spoiled rotten! spoiled spoiled spoiled! 😉

...and whats wrong with 3ghz on def vcore @ a better 167fsb for a fraction of the price?

spoiled rotten i tell you! 😉 😉 😉

LOL! 😀 I was thinking the same! Its hard to get a 50% overclock when you start @ 2.4 GHz and 533 FSB! $160 for 3GHz+ is not such a bad deal.

 

[TimeKeeper]

Okay..I shouldn't be complaining...😉
I figure I'd rather run it @ 1.55V @ 3.06 now. 🙁
