Finally got around to installing my Mobile Athlon XP 2400+, IQHYA 0402.
It's been sitting on the table alongside an unopened SLK-947U.
So yesterday I had some time (im about to graduate high school, so times are busy!), and got everything installed, and got a chance to clean up the inside of my PC (my sloppily installed SATA RAID setup was a mess as it mingled with old PATA drives)...
First off I am very impressed by the SLK947u.. that thing is freaking solid!
Well, Ive posted at 2665mhz or somewhere around there, below 50c on 1.9v at 213fsb...
Im in Windows right now at 2.5ghz, the machine POSTs intermittently on the 12.5x multiplier so I guess Ill watch my temps and feed it 1.95v...
Performs freakin awesome! Just dinking around in Windows I can tell that stuff is happening in a flash... and its nice to finally be running WinXP off my SATA RAID, as both drives are 80GB 7200rpm 8MB cache drives, coming from a 40GB 5400rpm 2MB cache drive...
blazing!
Seems like a lot of people have been seeing the notorious and controversial 'break-in' time, too... getting higher speeds after extended period of run-time... If this is my starting point, lets see how I fare in a couple days/weeks!
Only problem is im limited by the 12.5x multiplier. I'm already at 12x, and once I get things stable here, its time to pick up to 12.5x.
Ive already settled in at a max 213fsb with my Corsair PC3200c2, timings at 11-3-3-cas2.0 with 2.9v... Id rather not overvolt any more.
Could be chipset, could be RAM, but my Chaintech 7NJS has the newer revision of the Nforce2 chipset (without the silver slug)... which attains higher FSB.
Perhaps I should clock down my mem ratio to test highest FSB the chipset can handle, then consider some faster RAM? Then I start sacrificing low timings, though...
Haven't done any concrete tests to determine whether Im stable here at 2560mhz, but things are looking pretty good... I guess I'll go for a Prime95 run, but I have a feeling its going to let me down hehe...
thoughts? reccommendations? experiences?
