* I have no clue why X-isle crashes to the desktop with an error. It always crashes on cubemapping and I have the feeling that my geforce 4 is dying. There are gray blocks in the benchmarks at 184/185fsb and crashes. Also right before the crash, the textures on screen will flicker. Enabling v-sync didn't help and should not be turned on for benchmarking anyway. I tried the 30.82 drivers, and it hard locked in the first two seconds of the demo. All the other FSb tests though, there were no problems.

** I was/am getting tired of benchmarking. It was ~100mhz gain from the previous benchmark and I saw no fit to run the benchmark. I tried to run at 195 fsb and a higher speed of mhz but the system would not boot or load into windows. I know I need more vdd voltage and better cooling BUT I will not do either mod. I am perfeclty happy with 180fsb, memory at 100% and good timings. For $64, this chip is amazing! It has been a pleasure doing a fist "real" ocing adventure

Thanks to Thugs for the format

Nice overclock

If your doing 2035MHz at 1.6v vcore then you can be certain it'll go higher
Why not raise the multiplier & see how high it'll go?

Btw my XP1700 Tbred @2052MHz ,1.7v
Will do 2173MHz but it takes 1.85v to do that & it gets about 7c hotter!:Q

@185 fsb with default vcore I raised the multiplier to 12.5. Computer would post but windows would not load. I had to set vcore to 1.800 to boot into windows. That was my limit on vcore as it overvolts a little bit. My temps were in the middle 50s.. but Prime 95 crashed after 5-10 mins. I lowered my memory timings to 6,3,3,cas2 and still could not run prime 95 for long. I had hit my limit it seemed

 

[Assimilator1]

Presumable you tried between 2035 & 2250MHz?

re vcore,yeah so does my mbrd,isnt a A7N8X is it?

 

[Soulkeeper]

good job

800mhz oc on an AMD chip rocks....good job!!!!

Is the fsb limited on that board??? No way to make board run 200fsb with a lower multiplier???

 

[Jmman]

My 1700+ B that I got as a refurb from newegg with an $8 cooler is running at 2200MHZ right now......

Refurb 1700+ B $35
Coolermaster heatsink/fan $8

800 MHZ overclock PRICELESS!!

I am gonna try 11.5,11 X 200 and 11,11.5 X 195 later today.

Maybe the vdd voltage will be enough
