TH7II and P4T-E owners! Post your overclocking results!

[Athlon4all]

Anand has criticized the 850's fsb overclocking compared to 845-D. And something occured to me. I remembered that when MSi released their 4 layer 850 solution the 850 Pro2, it had very poor fsb overclocking and considering that allmost everybody that has a P4 has a P4T-E which like the 850 Pro2, changes the orientation of some of the RIMM slots, you see what I'm getting at? There are TH7II users out there and Abit hasn't switched the orientation of the RIMM slots. I guess, it doesn't make any sense that 845-D would be any better of an overclocker than 850. Also, don't forget that if your RDRAM can't make it beyond 120MHz, switch the ratio to 3x rather than 4x. So if TH7II and P4T-E users would post their overclocking results I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

EDIT: Btw, In Anand's September roundup of 850 boards, the TH7II hit 140Mhz+ and P4T (original, non 4layer, Socket 423) hit that as well.

I just overclocked my P4T-E FSB by 10% -- never tried anything higher, since I do need stability. I didn't fiddle with anything else. Predictably, my memory-intensive benchmarks went up 10%. . At that setting, I ran calculations that used 600 MB of arrays for a week solid. I've used the same low-tech approach to oc my Ath XP/ DDR system, but could never push it past 7% oc; I could never get standard PC133 SDRAM past about 5%.

p4t-e (socket 423) with a p4 1.4 running at 133mhz (1867mhz) rdram @ 3x cant go any higher no more settings

Just upped the FSB to 115 (X4 for RDRAM at 460 MHz). All seems fine -- I'm running an enormous, memory and FPU-intensive calculation, and simultaneously surfing via IE 5.5, etc. System is completely stable. I have 1 GB of run-of-the-mill RDRAM.

Oops, forgot to add that is a 1.7 GHz 478-pin non-Northwood, running now at 1.955 GHz. Haven't fiddled with any voltages or multipliers apart for FSB.

 

[Diable]

I my P4T-E is running a 126mhz fsb with the RDRAM multiplier set to 4. I can run 133mhz but I have to set the multiplier to 3.

TH-II and 1.5Ghz (478) doing 1.9Ghz(127x15) with x4 RDRAM.

So Link.. what would you say is your better machine.. the Penty or Athy?
