Is this a good 1.8a overclock?

[technic]

I have a p4b533e board with a 1.8a. Currently running at 2.7ghz with 1.6volts. totally stable after 12 hours of prime95. Using Corsair 3200 along with 3:4 ratio for 400mhz.

Can go higher but the voltage needed far outweighs the speed increase.

Is this a good overclock? what speeds are you guys getting with your 1.8a's?

Welocme to the forums and well done mate, my 1.8A ES does 2.4ghz stable, I have hit 2.62ghz at highest but not stable, vCore is 1.8v!!

yes, that is a very good overclock.:D

[technic]

thats good to here ;). I have seen some posts of people running as high as 3gig with a 1.8a, is this currently possible or will we need to wait for the c1 steppings?

Also what is a B0 shrink? I thought the die shrink took place with the change from Willamette to Northwood?

Thanks for the responses.

My 1.6a only provides 2.4GHz, but in conjunction with the 150/600 fsb and async memory operation similar to yours this means an ugly fast system. 2.7GHz is that much better. Even if you could find a chip that yields 3GHz it would translate into a system that is only barely faster than what you have. Consider it a job well done and start saving for the next generation of products, as they will be required to pick up a worthwhile amount of speed over what you already have (dual channel DDR, 3.5GHz+....)

that's a real good overclock. are you new to overclocking or just the forums? b.tw. what are you load and idle temps?

[technic]

Im new to the forums but not overclocking. my first overclock was a 286, After that I was hooked. I find it more fun overclocking the machine than actually using it as I work with pc's all day.

idle 35,max load 51 but its hot here is Australia :cool:

Don't you just LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE even numbers? LOL!

LOL 900Mhz overclock... 150% stock speed... and you have to ASK?

These sort of overclocks on 1.8A's are gr8, and when you consider the C1 stepping 1.8A's will hit 3ghz, at a super high FSB, whats the point in buying a 2.x ghz P4? Your memory bandwidth will be so much better on an overclocked 1.8A, even at 2.7ghz you will likely be faster than a 2.8 at default, or even a 3.06 if you dont think about HyperT....I love overclocking :D
Wish I hadnt bought my 2.5/400 though!

I tried to gt this setup working originally with kingmax ddr400 but it would go much above 333mhz in my board even with a voltage increase. Got some Corsair and it runn 400 all day long at default 2.6v.

Has anyone else had any experience with kingmax?
