P4 NORTHWOOD OVERCLOCKING GUIDE

[paralazarguer]

Duvie, I think that in the context of these articles, he's talking about running a 1.6 at 2.1 on the 533 FSB which the 645DX does very well. I really don't think this article is aimed at anyone that would run the FSB out of spec.

 

[paralazarguer]

By "in spec" I mean 100 or 133. Not in spec for THAT processor but in spec for A processor. Heh heh

 

[THUGSROOK]

so when is intel gonna release the evil 666 spec? :Q

(you know they are gonna have to call it 667)

 

[paralazarguer]

They did that with the celeron and duron. It is 666.6 so I guess it rounds.

Thugs has it right, just askin for a little help

sheeshh..last time i post anything helpful

very interesting article here about the lack of information on websites and the abundance of info scattered all over the forums.

looks like overclockers.com also have some plans for all their scattered forum info

something doesn't seem right there...
not only does the overclocked processor have a huge speed difference, but it also has a faster fsb...

If you look on Page 5, you'll notice that they're using different video cards for each of the test systems. The Intel 845D system had a Radeon 8500 while the SiS645DX system had a Geforce 4 Ti 4600. That's why the results are a bit wierd.

 

[THUGSROOK]

yea um really good comparison theyre doing there

 

[THUGSROOK]

Pentium 4-1.6A $140
Pentium 4-1.8A $165
Pentium 4-2.0A $190
Pentium 4-2.2 $230
Pentium 4-2.26 $270
Pentium 4-2.4 $360
Pentium 4-2.4B $390
Pentium 4-2.53 $630

"The most natural choice would be the least expensive Northwood processor, which in this case is the 1.6A model. The 1.8A GHz retail boxed is only $15 more"

right off the bat hes got a problem - he cant do simple math

Interesting that they've discovered the same thing.

 

[SocrPlyr]

as mentioned before about the benchmarking what is the point of benching two different chipsets? seems kinda stupid to me...

SocrPlyr to show how chitty the SiS boards are :Q lol

I just loved how they had one set up as ddr266 and one with ddr333...or 1:1 and the other 3:4...
nothing is the same...
CPU 1.6A doesn't equal 1.8A
of course MB not the same...
Memory... doh...not the same either
Video Card...hahah...nope
HD...nope...
sound card...nope
PSU...nope
OS...wait...it's the same...OMG

 

[THUGSROOK]

lol!

P4 1.6A @ In Progress

<<<--- lol again!
hows she doin?

Yeah, I noticed that. So what's the point of the tests? Are they trying to tell us that overclocking your computer makes it faster? No ***t. Not enough data to be useful...

thugsrook she is doing okay...she is alittle better than my old one...i was able to boot up with 1.5v but i didn't bother to run benchie cause i wanted to see how far it can go...
i will give all info either tonight or tomorrow...
just a sneak peek...mine isn't as good as yours

Now they're at $146 - two price hikes in one day...makes me wonder if they didn't just get their very last shipment of 1.6As and have decided to raise the price a bit since they're so popular.
