What's the most common Duron overclock?

[MrCraphead]

Currently I have a CeleronII 633@950 on a Abit BE6-II and I'm thinking about upgrading to a AMD based system sometime in the future. My question is, which Duron has the best price/overclock ratio? And should I go for a Thunderbird instead? I know this subject has probably been beaten into the ground, but don't flame me please. 🙂

Mr. C, imho the 600 Duron is the overclocking king. As for a tbird, my 600 duron@977 w/64megs pc133 runs about the same times on seti as my 800@872 tbird w/128megs pc100.

600 Definatly.

Mine does 1003 without any probs at all and its only got an old FEP32 (Its actually an FDP32 but I had to cut it down)

Probly squeeze a bit more out of it with a better HS

I got my Duron600 to 950, and a friend of mine hit 1.05ghz w/his, deffinatly a good chip.

Wow.. 600 to 1 Ghz more ?
How did you guys cooling this thing ? and how about the voltage setting ?

My 600 duron can't get any higher than 900 which is very HOT

CPUKILLER, KYLE YOU GUYS RUNNING SETI@HOME. IF NOT WHY NOT JOIN OUR TEAM. WE COULD USE YOUR CPU POWER. HEAD ON OVER TO DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING OR FOLLOW THE LINE IN MY SIG. http://hobbitt.worldkey.net/~seti/

Qzruh, what heatsink fan are you using. Beleave it or not, durons are not that hard to keep cool.

Fastvideo - you're insane! 🙂

Oh yeah, the topic. Got my 700 running a 1.0Ghz @ 1.775V - can probably go lower on the voltage. Will probably try to go higher on the cpu range, as I've had it at 1.05, but decided to "break it in" a bit before I went much higher. Thought about seeing how low I could go on the voltage while running at 1.0.

To answer the question - all of them are the most common to overclock. However, the bigger gains %-wise are seen with the lower speed chips. If you're going for overclocking, you'll see better gains in the Duron line. Just remember, motherboard and cooling make a huge difference...also a good power supply.

I had a D600 run stable at 900MHz. I'm now using a D700 that's stable at 1083MHz. Click the link to my rig for the rest of the components.
