XP1700+ @ 2100+ AGKGA "Y"

My 1700+ @ 2100+ with 1.93volts on my Iwill XP333
11x158mhz (256mb Corsair 2400XMS + 256mb Kingmax 2700DDR)
In few days, I am going to set the voltage at 1.75v and see if runs stable.

Case temp is currently 33C
CPU temp 38C, 42C at full load
Watercooled 🙂
 
Very nice. Going to try an OC my XP1700+ higher as soon as my 8K3A+ and AS3 arrive 😀

Currently have it runing at 11x150 @ 1.85v and Alpha PAL8045. Going to add more case cooling and bump the core when the above parts arrive.
 
What PCI divider are you using? If you're running an overclocked 133 bus, you're at 39.5 MHz PCI, which is extremely dangerous for your data and peripheral cards. 79 MHz AGP will probably be ok, but it's still way out of spec.

Or, are you using an underclocked 166 bus? Which would be closer to spec (31.6PCI / 63.2 AGP), but not as fast. Either way, it's an iffy OC.

If I were you, I'd try unlocking that chip and run the PCI in spec and OC the processor to 2100. (13x133) Or, use the 2000+ multiplier (12.5) and use 139 FSB or something. You'll be much safer on your peripherals. At least go to 12x145 or something. I fear for your HDs in a few months.
 


<< I fear for your HDs in a few months. >>



I know high FSB means high PCI, AGP, memory freqs., but can it really damage/decrease lifespan of your peripherals?? like HDs? I have my FSB set to 152 right now really stable. My hds would have problems at 156FSB. My limit right now is my memory starting to fail at 154FSB.
 
Overclocking anything will shorten the life of your hardware, but some things are more sensitive than others. You can probably OC your RAM until it screams for mercy, and it'll survive long enough that it'll be outdated by the time it dies. Same with the CPU. Video cards are relatively tolerant of high AGP clocks. However, your PCI bus is different. The HDs are the main thing to worry about, since high PCI clocks can eventually lead to corrupted data. You might not even notice it until you go to access a file from 3 months ago and it's no longer readable. Or, programs start going to hell. Eventually, it can lead to drive failure. Now, if I fry a DIMM while overclocking, it's not that big of a deal, since I can just buy a new DIMM, but my HD is BAD, especially if I haven't done a recent backup (though I try to keep most important stuff backed up.).

39MHz PCI is way out of spec...almost 20%. I'd try to keep that around 36-37MHz tops. If you can go for a 145 FSB with a higher multiplier, I'd do that, although quite a few people around here run 150 FSB, but I'm not comfortable going that high. If you can, try and get to 166 and LOWER the multiplier a notch, if your RAM can handle it. If your mobo supports it, it'll switch the PCI/AGP dividers and you'll be in spec for them.
 
I am not using any PCI divider and I don't plan to. From my previous experience, uping FSB lasted long enough til my hardware goes obsolete.
If I see any signs of instability, I'll reduce the FSB. I've had some important data go bad from crapping on high FSB.
 
i have my xp 1700+ running at 1766 mhz (160x11 i think) and ive had no problems. Im on an 8kha+ and my maxtor is an ata 133 so i thought it should be able to handle those high speeds.
