Yet another 1700+ Overclock.

I guess I'm kinda behind the bandwagon 😛

1700+ DLT3C JIUHB
-12.0x
-200 FSB
-1.70 VCore
Epox 8rda3+
1GB PC3200 Buffalo (Winbond CH-5)

0310 I've had it for awhile just never got around to overclocking it until now. I'm using a SLK-900 as a cooler. Yea I did all the benchmarks after I had run Prime 95 for 12 hours.
 
I actually have not touched the memory timings. Don't really understand them yet. I want to read up some more on them before I play around with those.
 
AMD Barton 1.833Mhz @ 2.102Mhz - stock volatage
Gigabyte 7N400 PR02
512 MB Hyper X

I know next to nothing about overclocking so I'm going to ask a few basic questoins.
1) Theres no real problem overclocking with the default heatsink and fan is there?
2) If I were to increase the volatage what the highest I should go while being safe?
3) Whats a good benchmark to test if your system is stable with the overclocked settings?
 
The heatsink is there to disipate heat so if your cpu stays at a reasonable temperature its ok. In general, if you plan on overclocking for the longterm an after-market heatsink is best.

MY personal opinon is only 0.2V over default. The higher over default hte greater chance the cpu will die earlier.

Prime95 is a good stress tester.

This is a good thread to start at Text

1.7V is nice for 2.4GHz. When My 1800+ was with Alpha 8045 it needed 1.75V to run 2.4GHz, but now only 1.7V for watercooling. A few degree DOES make difference.
 
I have a 1700+, but I got unlucky and got an "A" and not a "B" one from Newegg.

Most I can get with my stock fan is 1.71Ghz before things start going unstable I think. Maybe I'll mess with it more later.
 
Hands down that is a sweet chip!!! You got about a 1ghz oc on and amd chip and that means something....I think you could go to 1.8v and get that last 70mhz....

Good luck..how much did you pay for the 1700+ and when???
