What are you guys ocing the Duron 800 to?

[holdencommodore]

I have just oc'ed my Duron 800 to 950... That seems about as far as it will go.... It is at 1.725V.
It is also a AKCA0040MPMW core......

Cheers

Thts about the average duron do. Mine 800@994 now running 7.0 X 142 FSB stable @ vcore 1.75v. Can go higher to 1015 Mhz...but...didn't like the temp.

I did the pencil trick on my old one and got it up to 1gig. 10*100 on a A7pro Asus board. Vcore was 1.75

Thanks for the replies. I thought it was average too. Even though I have the Vcore at 1.725 in the BIOS, PC Alert shows the Vcore is 1.78. Does anyone know why this is? The m/b is (as below) a MSI K7T Pro2-A.

Thanks

Holdencommodore, hey, I drive one of those, a wagon actually!

Anyway back to the issue at hand, I ran my Duron 800 at 7.5x140=1050 for about six months, and it was really stable with a vcore of 1.8, running temps of around 40degC untill we hit summer where it was running low 50's and eventually started spontaniously re-booting at some awkward times.
I figured I had a good run out of it so I have now upgraded to an XP.
Crank up your voltage to 1.8 or 1.85 and you should get a bit more out of it.
I have another 800 that will only go to 950, but I figured that was because it has a chip in the core.

Good luck

Hehe, I like Holdens especially the new Monaro

A short while ago I cranked the voltage upto 1.85 (highest in BIOS), then tried 10x100... the CPU then booted to 550 MHz!! Is this a sign that I have reached the max (950) for the processor? I set the CPU to default (Default VCore and x8 mulitplier), and it booted at 800, then I set it again to 1.725V and 9.5 multiplier. It seems stable again. Unfortunately, cos my m/b is based on the VIA KT133, I am limited to FSB speeds less than 108...and even then it can be unstable
Current temps are 33C for CPU and 27C for case according to PC Alert 3 (computer is in Melbourne)
Any input appreciated.

Cheers.

I have a duron 850 at 1060 right now. Its on a 7.5 multiplier and a 142 FSB. i have about 2.07v to the core. I have a volt modded kt7a-raid if u are wondering. basically my temps are 38 idle, and about 46 load running prime 95. those aren't the greatest temps, but it's pretty damn good for that overclock, and the amount of juice that's running into the chip.

 

[tchybrid]

oh and another thing, alwayz check the bridges, make sure they are connected properly. i've had a simular problem before lik eur durom becoming a 550. so yeah. check it out, and just try different things.

 

[holdencommodore]

That is one good o/c Damn KT133... I wish I could run it at 133+ FSB :|

Just one the note of checking the bridges, I re-penciled the bridges, tried to get to x10 multiplier, but after saving changes to CMOS, the computer did not reboot, I turned it off, then on..... same thing... 550MHz..

Is there much difference between the 950 to 1000MHz Duron if both are on the Spitfire core?

Cheers

Get a conductive pen from Dick Smith, they work better than a pencil, only a lot dearer.

 

[holdencommodore]

yeah a conductive pen costs $32 form DSE!! The strange thing is that it is now running 950MHz, stable - again
