Wow, never seen this one here! 1GHz TBird at 1.5GHz!

[compuwiz1]

I'm on a 1GHz bird that I just booted at 1.5GHz! Hmmm, 1650, or 17 with pelt?
500MHz overclock, that works.

Record on a 1GHz for me, til now was 1410.

 

[JokerF15]

nice, my personall record is 1450! w/o a pelt. hehe..didn't try it with. i think that one should go in the cpu hall of fame! =)./

 

[Angst]

And we're not gonna see it either until you post some pics...

 

[compuwiz1]

It's in a test rig, but I just rebooted at 1530.

I didn't even bother to unlock it, just left it at the default multiplier of 10 and stuck it in the IWill KK266, at 133MHz, then kept moving it up. I havent found where it won't post or boot yet. FOP32-1 is what I am cooling it with. This one, may become my personal bird.

 

[KestrelSan]

Done any stability testing yet?

 

[compuwiz1]

Yep, just BSOD'd at 1550. Now back down and try again til I stabilize it. I'd be happy at 1.5 even on this, and I think it will, if I can keep it cool.

 

[KestrelSan]

Oh, oh, I'll be the first to ask. Is there any pertinent info that would indicate why this chip is doing so well (ie blue core, newer week, markings, etc.)?

 

[compuwiz1]

They're week 8, blue core, regular "B", not "C', which would indicate these are 200MHz fsb.

And I got 9 more to try. yipee!

 

[Renob]

Nice overclocking job compuwiz1

 

[flexer1]

Wiz, is that chip OEM or retail??

 

[compuwiz1]

OEM

Some people have had trouble with getting some of these IWill boards to go at 133MHz fsb jumper selected, but no problem with the right chip. I don't think I will be doing any loctite on these babies.

 

[Urinal Mint]

compuwiz1:

got any tips for someone who hasn't done the loctite trick before?

 

[Quad]

compuwiz

1)what kind of ram are you using? still at cas2?
2)what's your core voltage at?


good job!

 

[aknuj]

where did u got that cpu?

 

[DARRIN]

If I were you I would keep that one.

 

[Instigator]

Nice overclock compuwiz!

 

[compuwiz1]

Well, guys, the batch seems to be a good one. I now have 3 of these puppies, more to test.

One only did 1470...darn......a 1GHz core, remember.

Ram is Infineon 128Mb, single sided at CAS2,

Running chips at 1.85v, FOP32, Arctic Silver.

 

[Sharpstick]

glad my MO is heading your way

WOOHOO

 

[compuwiz1]

Sharpstick, if the base core does not matter to you, I can probably get you one of these chips.

[hazzagazza]

At Overclockersworkbench.com they reported that some 1 GHz week 5 tbirds were stable at 1.5 GHz, and the mod was supposed to have some follow-up info, but I haven't seen anything else about these pumped up l GHz chips till compuwiz1 discovered this batch . BTW, how do you tell what week the cpu is?

 

[compuwiz1]

Well here are the numbering on them:
AXIA0108BPAW The 01 is year 2001, and the 08 is week 8.

The AXIA code is rarely found on 1GHz Birds, I just got lucky.

 

[nealh]

How many have hit 1.5ghz...at least 3 and one at 1.47...

wonder what these will sell for .....

Bump for interest and a great guy....

 

[eeut]

compuwiz1 you got lucky w/ that 1ghz. went to local shop 4 days ago looking for that code. well bought 1ghz(200mhz) diff. code but stable @1.333 on default voltage. still i say lucky you.

 

[bigdoggy]

Where can I get one, I want one now.
