Is a 1ghz at 1120mhz good enough?

[oreoafk]

Or should i squeeze some more juice.. i know i can't do 1200 cuz it smell some smoke

a 12% increase shouldn't be sniffed at.
remember not all chips are equal!:frown:

 

[oreoafk]

so?

 

[TeMpT]

Got mine to 1133. I think that's it for my chip. I've heard someone got 1G to go 1.4G, but I think he is doing something "unnatural", like water/nitrogen-cooled

 

[Lars]

got mie to 1102
won't even post at higher settings

 

[mastertech01]

AMD TBIRD? Possible..

<< cuz it smell some smoke >>



You smelt smoke? Bad, very bad...

 

[bacillus]

smelling smoke is a sure sign of a scorching pc.
maybe he should just squeeze some more juice.

I guess it depends on what you mean by good enough. With some of the other posts about 1gig doing 1.4, I thought 1.2 was going to be cake walk. It's not. So my expectations were not met thus I was dissapointed. Now that I know a little more, I see the performance of my scant 1gig at 1100 and I think back to just a little while ago when I was running my pII 300 and i think Yeah, it's good enough....for now

its never good enough

the guys reaching 1.4 ghz are using 133mhz FSB, which means buying a new motherboard

Yep. You would need the KT133a chipset on the mobo to get a reliable 133FSB.

Unfortunately, I AM using a kt133a board. Still can't get it stable over 1100. Running at 7.5x146. Good ram too. Oh well. Got it as high as 1197 but won't run some programs i.e. unstable

THANKS ALL

sheesh smoke .. sheesh

Hmmm, right now I'm running my 1 GHz at 10*110, 143 MHz 2-2-2 on VCM RAM.

Going to unlock my chip next weekend....

BTW, what's the standard voltage of the 1 gig T-bird?

 

[gecko991]

I believe its 1.75.

 

[Bad Dude]

Don't you guys ever wonder why we push the CPUs so far? How much does the human mind really perceive how fast from 1Ghz to 1.4Ghz? Oh well! I got my friend's 1Ghz up to 1.3Ghz. Too bad the MB does not allow 133 bus speed. It's the Abit KT7-RAID.

 

[marooned]

It's like a car... why have one that can do 300km/h when there are no speed limits that are even remotely close to that? (except in germany) It's about bragging rights, and seeing how far you can push your cpu. It's a hobby for me, and many others heh. My 1gig bird is flying at mach chicken right now, 1406mhz with no unnatural cooling, just a simple fop 32... I know it's probably overkill, but I had a lot of fun and heartache tweaking it. My 2 cents

i saw someone at 1.6ghz in a link off of hardocp... but it was water cooled
