Fastest FSB? Haha! Mikke, Thugs, and Erikean laught at you!

Yes, it is false advertising...... I'm running my IT7 MAX @ 225MHz FSB.

Thugsrook,

LastRide, hehe...the one he has now is only a month or two old...

Wow,I didn't know that

.

 

[pr497]

i have a friend that has a gigabyte GA-8PE667 that he might want to lend (or even sell) to me. anyone know the overclocking potential of this board? im wondering if i can hit 200+ FSB with this mobo and a P4m.

 

[THUGSROOK]

Rhett ~ 53*C is probably just in my case. Erik is on water and never gets that high.

Mikki ~ yea the one im using now is only 2 months old, but the P4 HSFs bend the board a good 3mm leaving the p4m out of reach of the HS

BigJ2078 ~ LOL

pr497 ~ its my understanding that i845pe boards cant go past 200fsb (could be wrong tho)

 

[pr497]

yea...the max FSB on the 8PE667 is 355 with 1MHZ steppings...but i dunno if this board has problems with agp/pci lock. perhaps i can run a few tests with my friends board just for benchmarking purposes...but i would have to talk to him 1st...

hopefully i can get my avc sunflower heatsink to make contact with the core of the P4m...otherwise ill start lapping a penny...

got a new unbent p4b533 today......

hmmmmm....I don't see a thread up yet..

 

[THUGSROOK]

na, im just gonna append to this thread.....

new board is up and running.
np at all making contact with the core now

@ 200fsb:
cpu idle = 29*C
board idle = 30*C

cpu p95 = 41*C
board p95 = 31*C

thats a good 8*C cooler then using the shim :Q

i also used the thermaltake tiger1 HSF on the moboard chipset this time around.

 

[jpetermann]

Sweet! What a difference that unbent board made!

PJ

 

[THUGSROOK]

hehe ~ what a difference 1.5mm made :Q

 

[THUGSROOK]

i gotta bench it anyways ~ may as well post the new scores....

 

[Mikki]

Nice temps Thugsrook! Those are bout a degree cooler than mine run...:Q How do you like that Tiger? I was pretty surprised at how quiet the fan is...

 

[THUGSROOK]

cant even tell that fan is there, its so quiet :Q

temps are still holding nice and low

 

[Mikki]

Brilliant! ...so no shims, that's great, that Alpha go down okay then? Did you have to modify anything from how you normally do it?

 

[THUGSROOK]

nope ~ the alpha slapped right on, np

and BTW...
the thermaltake TT HS is a POS!!
already removed it ~ fan is good tho

 

[jpetermann]

Haha! In reguards to the Tiger, Yes, the fan is ok. I just put it on my IT7m2v2. The heatsink royally stinks!

PJ

 

[Keysplayr]

Must be nice to have all this money...

 

[THUGSROOK]

there's an old automotive saying when it comes to hot rods ~

if ya wanna play, you gotta pay

 

[THUGSROOK]

benchmarks went up to 225fsb ~ not as far as last time for some reason

im running P95 right now @ 225fsb...
cpu = 43*C
board = 32*C

thats a 7*C drop in temps :Q

 

[dbwillis]

Nice temp drop!

 

[THUGSROOK]

> Prime95 < 5 hour loop
passed upto 2700mhz 225fsb 450ddr

 

[Mikki]

Nice...very nice Yeah, I'll have to rip that Tiger off mine and try again. I'd like to see some comparison scores with the heat/board difference....

 

[Technonut]

Glad your new mobo is working out THUGS.....

Asus board temps are just that ~ board temps, not chipset temps.
a 3*C difference can be a big problem.

thx Technonut
