T-Bird and GFD???

[NOX]

I was really thinking of using a GFD for my Slot-A T-Bird. I would hope for 800Mhz at least from this chip. Is it in fact better to use a GFD, then FSB?

As anyone decased their T-Bird yet, and was it easy. What GFD are you using, and at what speed is your T-Bird running at o/c?

It's just the same as stripping a normal Athlon classic.. 😉 Go for it man!

Tey work, only the lower multipliers on the GFD are then usually higher.

Well, I have it running at 740MHz (105FSB) now; it'll do 770MHz using FSB (110FSB) stable. I was just wondering if a GFD would allow me to do 800MHz without having to rise the FSB, thus AGP and PCI.

Yes it would allow you to do that.

NOX I have a 700 T-Bird O/C'd to 900Mhz using a K7OC from 2cooltek.com.

It is very stable @ 900. No lockups or glitches after 1 week.

[edit]

An after thought, you might want more info on the setup.
MSI K7Pro Board
128MB Crucial PC133 RAM
GlobalWIn VOS32 HS/Fan
K7OC GFD
100FSB x 9 @ 1.9v

Next week I'll try reducing the voltage back down to 1.85.

Great to hear that, I really want to do it. I would be happy getting 800Mhz, but if I can get 900Mhz, wow great! I'll check out that K7OC.

I'm also looking for a HS that will fit on my soon to be decased T-Bird and K7M (because of the PS socket).

BTW: Was it hard taking off the backplate of the T-Bird case, the metal part?
