PIII 1ghz/CD0/SL5QV - Any experience out there?

[LarryJoe]

Thinking about picking one of these up. There is limited info in the overclockers.com database. It seems that the few posted are getting at least 1.2ghz with little voltage increase and air cooling. There are about 7 posts, ranging from 1.2 to 1.5. I would like to at least run it at 1.24 (10x124) with hopes of 1.333 (10x133). I am limited to 1.95 volts but have good air cooling in my Alpha6035/Sunon combo. ASII of course.

I can pick one of these up for about $150. I am getting bored with my PIII700@933 and am looking for something to mess with. But is this is a definite dog, then I won't bother.

thanks

ps - please no T-Bird/mobo recommendations. Not interested.

Yeah dude this should work for ya and if you want to get that last little bit of juice we can shown you how to do the wire trick to get to 2v but I am thinking you won't need it. About half the people I know can hit 1.33GHz pretty easily at around 1.85v. DO youhvae a board where you can use 1/4 dividers if you can only hit in the 125MHz fsb range?

You say this but did you know they are coming out with a new version of the .13u celeries. They are going to be 1 and 1.1GHz varieties and the prices will range from like $79~$89. One of these coupled with the ST6 or other suitable mobo would give you a price of about $180 for all and I a would assume a 1GHz .13u celery should hit at least 133~150fsb. Most of these tualatins cores do 1500MHz easily and the celery has actually a higher IPC than a PIII cumine by a few percentage points. The celery at 150+fsb would be a real kick a$$ setup bandwith wise. Also the new Gigabyte GA-6OXET-c has a turbo pLL bios that allows you to keep your PCI and AGP within spec no matter what your fsb is so with a 1GHz multi you could go really nutz on the fsb and keep everything in spec.

Thanks man. I have a Soyo 6BA+IV with the 1/4 divider, so I should be all set. My voltage increase can only go up by +10%, which will bring me to 1.93 volts. I could probably mess with the slocket to have it default to 1.85 and go from there if necessary. My experience with jumping slockets from anything but "auto" has been bad.

Yes, I do realize that if I wanted to swap out the mobo, then I would have a million more options and yes the tutlatin looks sweet. I just don't feel like taking my rig apart and formatting the hard drive. I just got XP installed and running smooth.

I think I will pick one of these up today. $150 shipped minus what I can sell my PIII700@933 w/orb for. Seems worth it for a 400mhz increase.

LarryJoe,

Those P3 cD0 SL5QV 1000E Flip-Chip are very good overclockers. You'll probably have good luck with them to get to 1.33Ghz+. With nominal air cooling level, it is feasible.
With superb air cooling, addition of voltage nourishment, and a little bit of luck, 1400+mhz is also possible. I believe that.. based on what I have seen, you stated that your current P3 system goes upto 1.95 Vcore, once you put the P3 1000E chip in there, the Vcore selector will jump to one step higher. this is adjusted accordingly by the new CPU therefore you might not have to worry about needing more voltage unless you go for insane level of OC.
Have fun. =)
