Throughbred 1700+ from Newegg overclock, wow!

[KIAman]

Seems like most of these new AIUGA 0245 steppings are good overclockers. Nice everyone is getting good oc!

Darn I had to back down to 11.5 x 166 = 1909 at 1.65v (1.69 effective). What is the consensus here for a "safe" increase in vcore - I am thinking 1.75v (from 1.5 approx 16.7% boost). Perhaps I may be able to see 1955 but is it worth it (170n x 11.5) ??

I will be getting my new rig next week. I got the new Asus A7N8X baord, 2 256mb of PC3500 Cosair XMS, and and AXP 1800+ thoroughbred core from newegg. I will be using an Alpha PAL 8045 wiht a Delta SHE 68 cfm fan on it controlled through a reobus. I will post results in here. I is not a 1700, but close right?

 

[Dean_Jen]

well, my overclocking ability is limited by the motherboard...the newer MSI KT7V only allows up to 1.6v.

at 1.55v(actually, I haven't tried default yet), I manage to get 1666MHz/2000+ from the 1700+ I acquire. For some reasons, even that I did NOT unlock the CPU, the bios allows me to fiddle around the multiplier.

BUT, when I tried 14x133, the CPU read-out was striked down to a 733MHz at POST. STrange...

And 166MHz ain't working...something's not right in this picture, I guess...

I'll see what else I can dig out of it.

 

[Dean_Jen]

okay, right now I'm running it at 10x166 at default voltage...not bad at all.

May try the multiplier of 11 later and see if it'll still boot-up...

CPU Temp. as MBM indates, is at 39 degree C. I'm using a CoolerMaster 001 copper heatsink with 6000RPM fan.

 

[KIAman]

Once you get past the 12.5x multiplier, it recycles back down to 6x multiplier. You have free range from 6x-12.5x for the multiplier.

Also, I am running my vcore at 1.725. Ive heard people running all to 1.9v air cooling. I guess it is all at your discretion and when you think your temperatures are too high.

 

[Dean_Jen]

okay, 10x166 is working at default voltage.

11x166 will give me no screen at all, even if I raise it up to 1.6v, the max KT7V allows.

STrange...any suggestion(besides changing a motherboard, of course)

Remember that 8k3a takes the temprature from inside the CPU and therefore gives about 10C more. I think 49C is more than exceptable!

 

[>>>Newbie<<<]

pltguy,

What vcore are you using? Also did it pass any torture test?

Dean_Jen,

Not sure about the TBred, I remember the Palomino you can connect a bridge or so to raise .2v.

 

[Superman9534]

i feel left out with my OC disabled K7S5A....And i'm ordering one of these 1700+ tonight too...since i fuxored up my Palomino 1700 trying to OC the multi using a knife...i'll never try that again. Oh well, 1.47ghz is plenty fast for me.

 

[Dean_Jen]

hehe...with big finger-guy like me, connecting the bridge ain't an easy task

I didn't do any bridge modification on that CPU. But the BIOS still allows me to adjust(somehow) the multiplier. Strange...

Just tried everything again. 11x multiplier will ONLY work with 133Mhz bus speed. 10x can work up to 166(haven't tried beyond yet).

and the current CPU speed is 166x10/2000+ via default 1.5v.

Anybody figure out why KT4V can only raise up to 1.6v max.?

1.95 v-core,the chip is only about 4 hrs. of run time so i need to let the as3 set a few days longer.
did run 10 loops each of pc mark pro 02 and sandra pro 03 so far. Just got it and still trying differnt muti x fsb combo.

 

[Dean_Jen]

well, I'm using a small program called "BCM" from my company to test it, and that one goes well.

SisSanDra works, too. But 3DMark will terminate for some reasons...no error message, no reboot. Just...gone.

I'll see if Q3A will get me any more problem.

I was able to get 166fsb on default core... now I'm on 1.7volt and running @ 180fsb(2.0ghz) =) . I'm using a Swiftech 462 and idle is 49C and full is 53C, right now til I get my 120mm and adapter to slap onto it.

Specs
Chaintech 7NJS nForce2

^^, I can't wait for the new bios update =), I'm gonna run some 200fsb x 10 hehe... and samsung probably makes the best low priced oc'ing ram ever =)
*PCMark thinks it's a Duron =S... lol <shrug> I don't care.. as long is it passes prime and I've had UD running 24/7 =). w00t w00t again =)

where did you get the samsung ram?
what's it officially rated @ 2700?
has it run 3200 (400) successfully before.
is it CL2 or 2.5 ram
what's the marking on the chips?

i was wondering if i should get the volcano 7+ to clock my 1700+ B?

NO
and they dont have 1700B's just A's

 

[>>>Newbie<<<]

3DMark will terminate for some reasons

Which means your system is not stable enough.

 

[Dean_Jen]

well, that's why I'm so curious about...

ONLY these 2 particular tests are bad...so bad that it can't even run once.

I tried an overnight last night, with those 2 tests disabled, and everything else passed.

I'm more favoring that this may be a driver or software issue than hardware...I also have a little CPU burn-in utility that stress the CPU...and that one can run all night without problem.

if you're video card is overclocked, try reducing the speeds on memory/core. it might not like the higher agp bus.

 

[Dean_Jen]

well, it's all original speed...I won't bother for Video card overclock since it's a MX440...

Besides, KT400 chipset "officially" support 166MHz bus speed, which means that AGP/PCI speeds should remain at 66/33 MHz.

Besides, I'm considering going back to my good old Matrox G400...2D is just something I can't give up.

 

[>>>Newbie<<<]

My system will pass Sisoft at ~2g, but will not go through 3dmark or UT2003 unless I clock it down to ~1.9g.

 

[Dean_Jen]

mm...let me try the 3DMark again with the default clock.

 

[Duvie]

sissoft is a crap rpogram to test stability...I have had it pass at 2.8ghz with my system at 1.73v...it will pass 3dmark up to 2.77ghz, but will fail prime unless it is at 2.75ghz....

In conclusion as is stated above by crazysaint, do not use 3dmark as your solestability test...prime and a program called cpuburn will take the system to higher temps then you will see with the 3dmark. in my opinion 3dmark is stressing the gpu more then it is stressing the cpu...with slower vid cards unlike the 9700pros and such the card is already the limiting factor and thus is not stressing the cpu enough.

You guys need to run a cpu dependent program for a length of 12-24hours and then in my experience run apps you use and if it runs flawlessly then lets talk about "stable as a rock"......

Also basic ocing you should keep ram at most conservative timings and try not oc other things like the vid card and ram until you find the cpus true limit...

I run my TBred 1700+ using the volcano 7+ at medium speed at 190 x 10 on the A7N8X at 1.675 core voltage (actual 1.71v). I can get as high as 1947 on med speed at 1.7 core volt. So the volcano 7+ is fine. At high speed I bet I can do 2000
