my 700 duron wont let me go higher than 900 reliably 🙁
@ 8.5x100, the voltage requirements are a decent 1.725
for 9.0x100, i have to increase the voltage to 1.8 to get Prime95 to run without errors
the board i have (abit kt7) doesn't like any FSB settings above 110 - that requires me to up the Voltage from 3.3 to 3.5. i can set the RAM independently to 133.
considering this chip is less than a week old, do you think longer use of it would enable me to get a better overclock maybe a month or so down the line? looking at the chip in the week i've had it (running seti@home all night with the 850mhz speed and 46C full load cpu temp), i've seen that the inner cermaic of the chip has become darker and slightly shiny. is this good or bad? it seems to me like the heat is curing the chip, but it might be my dumb imagination.
any help would be nice 🙂
