If you are too lazy to read the article, the overclocking results are:
3.31GHz @ 1.67V
3.41GHz @ 1.8V (volt modded)
3.51GHz @ 1.85V (volt modded, not stable due to excess heat).
Testing was done on a Volcano 7+ on full speed, using an Abit BD7-II and OCZ PC3500 RAM. Not bad for an el cheapo V7+ methinks. Imagine the results using an Alpha PAL 8942/MCX4000!
The sweet spot looks to be 3.31GHz @ 1.67V to me. 3.41GHz @ 1.8V looks good, though personally I would never feed a Northwood P4 with more than 1.75V for prolonged use, just to be safe. Maybe just for bragging rights and a high 3DMark I would though... but not for long. 😉
Just for a bit of a twist, the guy got 3GHz @ 1.42V (undervolted by 0.1V!). Heh. That's pretty rare I gotta say, overclocking while undervolting in the process.
But hey, if you want a silent 3GHz system, thats what you gotta do. 😉
These 'C1' stepping P4s are starting to look good - now I'm just waiting for the prices to come down for a Christmas spending spree. 😀
