Since no one OC's a Sempron it seems

[Jimmah]

Killed my old Duron 1800 when doing a peltier install, and since I was a student at the time I was uber cheap, found this Sempron 2400 for 75$ CDN retail box with HSF, nice deal I think. Anyways, bought a new mobo when my old ECS K7V TA3 one didn't suit my needs and got into OC'ing out of boredom.

Specs:

Watercooled Sempron 2400 @ 211 & 1.65v, can't unlock the multi's so I'm stuck with 10x it seems.
Asus A7V600-X
Watercooled 9500 Pro

BTW, my cpu temps are 37c idle/case 30c, 40c load/31c case with an ultra ghetto WC rig, uses a broken-then-repaired heater core, on sale fountain pump and tupperware res. Also buggered up the hose routing, put the gpu block 'before' the cpu one, will fix it once I get my new res built.

....and once I figure out how to work this forsaken digicam I'll post some pics

An uber cheap student with a peltier/water setup? 😕

 

[Jimmah]

The pelt I got from school snagged it off'n one of the comp-sci kids, and the watercooling is new since I'm now working and not-so-poor.


....still working on the pics, please be patient.

I thought you meant the Socket 754 Sempron. The Socket A Sempron is lacking in performance compared to the Socket 754s.

Of course its socket A, it wouldn't be uber cheap and ghetto any other way!

Can't get the digicam to connect with my machine, so its off to Futureshop for a new one.

A 2600+ socket 754 isnt exactly expensive either,i seen them sold for 92$ CDN at http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=14111&promoid=1030

Yeah, no one takes the Sempron 2400s and ratchets them up to 2.0 with a simple FSB change (no Vcore, no extra cooling over stock, nothing) .. no one ever does that.

If I had an Nforce2 mobo I'd have 'er well past 2.2 or 2.3 ghz, maybe even 2.4 if I'm lucky. I got it to do 2150 @ 1.7 but the ram started to geek out. Plus, its not like the hundreds of other threads about someones oc'd barton 2500, I don't see many oc'd semprons when I search yahoo or google mang.
