OK About Time i Am Up And Running 1.6a@2720 170FSB P4B266-C

[DinoGucci]

Ok now there comes my journy of OverClocking the baby.

right now i am all default nothing changed just jacked the to 150 FSB.

16 X 160 = 2560 33c idle 45c load
16 X 170 = 2720 40c idle [52cLoad wire mod

damn you What are your total specs cuz i sent back the EPOX Sis645 chipset (forgot name and too lazy to look ) And boy was that horrid ... it crashed so much so i RMAed it .... and im going to order th P4B266-C and I wana know what specs your rig is, and what chip is it ... thanx man and once again another great 800Mhz overclocks .... Intel baby!

[DinoGucci]

here are my specs
P4 1.6a with an Asus P4B266-C
SamSung PC2700 DDR
Antech True 430Watts
GF3 Ti200 128 GoldPlated SE
EtherLink 10/100TX NIC
Sound Blaster Live!
Maxtor 160 GB ATA/133
Maxtor 133 PCI Controller
Bios 1003

ok PC Probe Temp doesnt go above or under 40c. MotherBoard Monitor gives me a reading of 30c at the minute so is the bios.

thats it for now i am downloading 3dmark2001 and prime right after it.
is there any final intel 845 chip drivers out there other than the one that came with the CD?

[THUGSROOK]

youre all set to go there.

make sure you enable DMA on all your drives in windows.
use the turbo1 setting in bios and the overvolt jumper on the board.

 

[SmackdownHotel]

<< the overvolt jumper on the board >>




Why would he want to do that?

 

[RPB]

DinoGucci flashing to the 1003 bios will fix that temp issue.

 

[oldfart]

<< cuz i sent back the EPOX Sis645 chipset >>


You got the wrong EPOX board. You want the EPOX 4BDA Intel i845 board.


<< Intel baby! >>


Indeed!

 

[ChrisADuffy]

DinoGucci, who makes your gf3 ti 200?

 

[DinoGucci]

chaintech makes it.
i see some progress but i havent oced my graphic card yet.
so i will see how am i gonna deal with the rest of the testing first then announce results.

[DinoGucci]

pika poo still testing

 

[DinoGucci]

not not not stable

 

[DinoGucci]

ok back up and running.
16X133 @ 2133 27c

[Challenger]

Have you upped the core voltage in the bios little by little then stress tested it each step to get it stable @150mhz?

 

[SupermanCK]

Thugsrock - What do you mean by enabling DMA for all drive under windows? Are they disabled @ default?

 

[THUGSROOK]

SupermanCK yes once you install the Intel_inf update it will disable DMA on all drives.

a couple things to help Dino...
set memory by SPD
use turbo1 mode
disable PCI delay
bump the vcore upto 1.775v
disable all USB in bios

as a last resort - remove your NIC

HTH

 

[DinoGucci]

hahah yah remove your nic! not to mention, this is a brandnew board from MWAVE i got it today.
so we will see how things will go

16X150 @ 2400 29c default voltage.
now time for some tests at default voltage.

[SupermanCK]

THUGSROOK - How can you check if DMA is disalbe and if so how to enable it?
Thanks
SORRY ROOK...I KEPT ON MISPELLING YOUR NICK

 

[THUGSROOK]

alot of ppl dont realize what a POS their NIC is - i dont care how much you paid for it or what brand it is
alot of nics wont even run @ 38mhz PCI.

enable DMA from windows system properties / device manager.
check your HD and cdroms then reboot.

 

[DinoGucci]

thug, whats intel_inf update??

[THUGSROOK]

Intel_inf update is on your cd - install it!

 

[DinoGucci]

i scored 7124 on 3DMark2001 SE with default voltage @2400 , 175/400 GF3.
do i need to install that intel_inf ?

Yes you do.

 

[DinoGucci]

ok i noticed that eventho that i am 1.5v in the bios, asus probe reports higher voltage i.e 1.56 @2400. while its in high voltage stage its stable. anycomments?

anyways, i oced my v card 220/465 and i got 8098 @ 2400 31c idle 38c load.

dino

 

[THUGSROOK]

concider yourself lucky.
i wish my voltage read higher then what i set it at
most P4Bs run lower then what its set at.

right now im thinking 2 things....
1) more power is needed.
2) the motherboards just plain cant distribute this kind of power correctly. (i dont mean just the P4B - i mean all P4 motherboards)

just about every P4 overclocker/overvolter there is has flux in their voltages under heavy load.
if those fluctuations werent there, wed all be overclocking alot higher.
my vcore is set at 1.775v - i get 1.74v - under load its 1.66v.
obviously something is very very wrong here.
