T-Bird800...how high can you get stable using only the multiplyer?

[fluxcapacitorMB]

I run mine @ 1Ghz just fine. Has anyone gone to 10.5x100 or 11x100 on this chip and stayed stable? I have a 200fsb, and its year2000 week41. I run it at 1.80 voltage jumper setting, but the BIOS reads it at 1.78v. When I try to go to 1.85 at 1050 it either won't boot or locks up, etc. I do not want to use any FSB OCing, I don't like the idea that it OC's other things besides my proc. Extra speed ain't worth data corruption and the possibility of ruining other components, even the mobo. So I stick w/ my 10x100 OC. But if anyone's got pointers on getting this thing higher, lemme know. I like that I've hit the 1 Ghz level, but I want to go higher.

my 850 maxes out at 1GHz too, so does my friends.
I think that the stepping of the T-birds under 1Ghz, will usually max out at about 1Ghz with OCing.

Oh well, I'm still getting a 25% faster proc than I paid for, yours being about 18% faster.

I'm running 11x100 on my week 37 ADFA 800 right at the moment, since I got the new vantec heatsink yesterday (just killing time until the millennium copper arrives).
I had the old blue vantec and I could run stable at 10.5x100 or 10.5x101 at 1.75 volts, 10.5x103 at 1.80, but not 11x100 or 11x101 at all(would crash in 3dmark2k1 or windows BSODs). Now, I've
been running 11x100 all day, but 11x101 will still give me BSODs. I guess this chip is maxed.
I lapped both the heatsink and the core, and used arctic silver.

Man, you lapped the core on your T-bird????

I dont know whether to call you extremely dumb or smart.....


But since you have no problems with it, then Congrats!

A brave or foolish man laps a ceramic plug, but if it did work without chipping it then it would be that much better. Less ceramic between the actual core and the heatsink.
