sorry man. didn't notice your thread until now, but I think you got it already right?

How's it working out?:D

How's it working out?:D yeah, got it.:D i need to pin mod the chip before i can see any real results. i attempted it today foe 1.8, and it failed, so later when i get some time, ill try again.:D

which way are you going? wire or defroster? either way, good luck and remember that i had dd reserve a place for you in his 3ghz mafia:D

you'll get it done with the wire. your advice to me was great -- one strand of speaker wire wrapped tight. i pre-tightened it sort of like a noose, crimped the noose end closed as much as possible (kinda shaped like the eye of a needle when it finally worked) I "threaded the needle" with the 2 pins, and then the hard part was twisting it even a little tighter and keeping it on the pins......Arggghhhhhh! it took me at least an hour and one failed install before i got it right. hang in there!:)

[Wallacebw]

on this note when I get my 2.26B which method should I use? (asuming that it needs it :D) I already have a defoger kit and something like 250+ feet of monster cable...

Either way work better? if not then which is easier...

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT :mad: :mad: :mad: WTF are you guys talking about?? DID JD get a 2.26B???? IS HE DOING IT IS HE TRYING TO HIT 3GHZ!!!! MORE IMPORTANTLY IS HE EVAPORATING THE CHIP!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i knew it! JD was conspiring against me all along! that's it i'm going to vid pin mod my chip now too! And when i do we'll see how far i can take it past 3017mhz MWHAHAHAHAHA!!! JD good luck! Hope your chip doesn't burn out forcing you to RMA it and delaying you to 3ghz :p (doesn't it feel nice to know you have my support ;))

[JudgeDredd]

Wow, good luck on that! If you hit 3 GHz on that 1.6A, you'll be the leader of the mafia, cause you paid about $100-150 less and got the same speeds. :cool:

I did the wire vid mod, but if you can get the defogger kit that seems to be an easier method. Both work equally well.:)

I agree.

I tryed two times to get the pin methed to work...still no good.

I was like "this is just crazy,I have defogger kit from my amd days."

first try worked...I got more than 2.0v at the ready.
It was just too easy.:cool:

mica, that wire trick was hard! It worked out for me after a couple of tries, but before I had those couple of tries I had a tough time roping the stupid pins with the wire and making it stay. Took over an hour to get it to work but it's working great now! I did the wire method because I had wire in the house and didn't have to mess with tracking down a defogger kit but it sure would have been easier with the defogger from what you're telling me.:)

used for a car...."rear window defogger repair kit".

can be perchased at any auto supply store.

COURSE THEY HAVE!!! Before Rasputin's Liver (wtf man you need a new name) sold his 1.6a it was at 2.7ghz.... CS hawkeye had his chip up to 2.9 ghz at a point (i think...) currently on my 1.8a system i have it at 2.9ghz myself!

Yeah, I was up to 2.75 ghz on air without needing the wire volt mod! I had a great chip.....:D Then I sold my best friend and got the 2.26b.

[Darryl_D]

just think ras if you weren't so eager to get to 3ghz you coulda waited and given your chip to jd in exchange for his... so that right about now he would've done the wire mod and be at 3ghz!!!! But no you HAD to sell that thing! :rolleyes:

OK boys, lets do some math.

100% of 1.6ghz = 1.6ghz

so a 100% OC of a 1.6a is........3.2ghz.

for those who use DDR that would mean a 200fsb at 1/1 divesor.

Oh, you're absolutely right! I only made the move because I was abale to sell my whole rig a couple of weeks ago with a couple hundred dollars to spare that I put into the 2.26b. I was very happy with the 1.6a at the time!:D In a lotta ways i still miss that 1.6a. Mine was a 3/26/02 and that was a very good birthday for that chip as you know, jd.:beer:

It's easier because all you have to do is *paint* a line over a few contacts on the socket instead of trying to tie a thin wire over pins that are almost too difficult to see with the naked eye.:D

I think you gotta be lucky to get the darn wire to stay on while you're putting it in the socket. The first time I did it it fell off. Its probably still in the case somewhere lol! The second time I held the wire tightly with one finger against the side of the chip and was determined to not let go of it until the chip was safely in place. Then luck came into play. JD, at first I thought it didn't work but it did. The bios doesn't look any different, you can't tell from that. The truth lies in the voltages showing when you load a diagnostic program to read your voltages in windows. Watch out for that because it fooled me at first. I thought it failed but it worked!!!!!:eek:

[Wallacebw]

the XMS3200 REV 2.1 is suposed to be great... People have it running at 215/DDR430 at 2.5-3-3... You can just take your chances with the standard XMS like I did (aparently thats all that newegg is shipping right now) or you can buy the Platinum stuff which they only started producing with rev 2.1.

the bd7ii bios is different from your th7ii, mica. it doesnt list voltage amounts, but rather says "default", "+5", "+10" and "+15", so you really don't know if it worked until you see the actual voltage readings.

Ouch! What kind of wire are you using? I used a very thin copper wire from a phone wire that didn't work. Then I switched to silver colored (probably nickel?) stereo wire that worked.

Oh well. The defogger method is probably the better way to go anyway.:D

well buddie, i think this sucker has reached its limit.:( just under 2700. i am going to call the place i got the mobo tomorrow and ask about exchanging it, the voltage drop is very bad. i will either get a new one or a asus p4b533 board.:D i think that it has to do with the mem voltage drop too. i have it set at 2.7 in the bios, and im only at 168 fsb. shouldnt i be able to run at default voltage up to like 180 fsb?

[Rasputin'sLiver]

I got up to 2.75ghz at 1:1, without great stability. You're about where I was last able to run stable, man. You're really not doing as bad as you think! Your chip is behaving exactly like mine did... it was also a 3/26/02 pack date.:)

[Darryl_D]

hey jd don't feel bad! you tried and that's all that really matters! I mean look at how many different times and setups it took ras and hawkeye to finaly get a chip that would hit 3ghz! All you need is a better chip (maybe try a 1.8A) or if your just dying to hit 3ghz... do a volt mod on your 2.0a and give it 2.1volts in order to hit 3ghz (just for the benchies i mean.... that's all you really want 3ghz for isn't it?) and then as soon as that's done bring it back down to how many volts you have it at right now! At least that is what i would try to do!
