Just ordered 2600 Moblie

[Zebo]

Well I was hitting the wall with the 2400 @ 2690 Mhz which required massive 2.0Vcore to hit. Later it had trouble getting past 2500MHZ with 1.8Vcore which when I first got it I did'nt seem to have a problem. Weird huh.

Anyway well see if this puppy gets those 2.7-2.9Ghz I've been seeing on water.

So what's a safe Vcore and does anyone have a clue as to degredation of OC on the 2400? Currently even my sig is wrong. I'm running 2380 @ 1.7Vcore in bios.

wow....wut a beauty. my dream pc setup actually composes of a mobile 2600 with water cooling.

I've got a mobile 2600 on nf7--s v2 with a tr-sp97 heatpipe heatsink and a quiet 80mm fan. HItting 200x12.5 right now w/ 1.775 vcore and 2.9 v-dram and 70 ambient/90 system/100 cpu.

Maybe I'll try a little higher later. This is the highest I've tried so far.

I don't believe degradation can happen that way, but what do I know?

My first guess is your cooling went astray. How're your temps?

Maybe something else changed in your hw setup, your bios, your os, your drivers? I couldn't hit 12.5 w/o raising the dram voltage - maybe your's got reset lower somehow?
Good luck.

Link for you.:beer: Oh, and it does feel alot "snappier" than my T-bred B XP2400 at 10.5x212.5 did.

Good luck.

My temps never get above 40C even when I was OCing 2600 Mhz +

The main problem was my antec PS caught fire and blew a cap. Ever since then, what was one my great 2400 moblie gets prime errors even at once trivial overclock which you see in my sig. I think either the board or processor is fluxed. I ordered all new gear just to be sure.

Translation... don't buy any used parts from Zebo in the FS/FT forums

Hehe


Well the 2600 seems to be around 200 mhz better than the 2400 in all overclocks and voltage requirements. Is it worth it? I don't think so. 25% more money for 10% more performance the 2400 moblie still wins the price performance crown however IT will not get to the super high Mhz.

Chip___OC/maxMhz__Vcore

2600___2491____1.65
2400___2280____1.65

2600___2595____1.75
2400___2405____1.77

2600___2691____1.80
2400___2605____1.85

Here's what I'm running right now...decided to tone down because I want my computer silent. Running fans at only 5Volts
