Currently the P3-S is offline, but has been replaced by a 2.4C on a P4C800-E running at 3GHz & default settings & 2-3-3-6-8 / 5:4 timings... (should go much higher--I hope--with some tweaks)...
Looks like it is putting out 2 per 3.75 hours--but it is really to early to come up with an average, and, perhaps, I will get more when I reach my top GHz... :D
Crunch on!!!
Very nice addition! :) Have we ever had pics of the famous Morph pharm?

You can push that a little farther I bet. What did you get for ram? Keep the 5:4 ratio and you should be able to run up to 215-220 on the ram if it's half decent. That would put you up around 3.3-3.4GHz. My corsair 3500 will run 230 with 2.85 volts - cas 2448. My 2.4C at 3400 is averaging 2 units every 2.75 hours, so yours sounds a little bit slow even for 3GHz.

I ended up with Kingston Hyper-X 3500 Cas2 (256x2)...
Wish I knew default voltages for the CPU, RAM and AGP... then I could start to crank it up and see where it all tops out... Not even sure what is considered "safe" for the P4 core voltage... MBM shows it at 1.6--default, I assume?
Temps are running 32 / 38 at full load... SKL-900 really is a nice heatsink... and with a 92mm panaflow on top it is very quite too....

Kris,
Sounds like a mighty fine addition to the pharm you got there! I have to agree with you about those SLK-900's, but you ain't lived till you tie a Tornado 92 on it. Talk about having bees in your bonnet, but boy does it do a job cooling.
Anyway, nice production booster for you there.

Default on your cpu should be 1.55, 2.55 for the ram, and 1.5 for the agp. Most D1 stepping P4's don't benefit from anything beyond 1.65. I run mine at 1.6.

Very nice rig with lots of crunching power. :D

Default on the 2.4C should be 1.525v and you might want to use Asus Probe for temps and voltages. The Asus board will not give you any voltages for the ram or agp from any utility. Asus boards traditionally overvolt by about 0.015 but under load will drop about 0.025 or more.
If that 2.4C is a Malay chip then you can start at 250fsb=3Ghz with default vcore and just cruise on up from there.
Use all manual settings and not any of that AI +% stuff.
The Kingston HyperX KHX3500 should run @ 2-2-2-5 up to at least DDR418-420. All four of my sticks do with 2.85vdimm.
Set the vagp to 1.7v. That has been proven to help stability on this board.

Well... looks loike I will be running @ 3.1GHz... the CPU seems to not like anything more... causes Win2K to BSOD "dump memory to disk"... :( :(
not the 3.3-3.4 I had hoped for, but it will have to do...... :( :(
Have you isolated your cpu by dropping the ram down and make sure the agp/pci is locked?
Morpheus

yep... agp/pci locked ay 66/33...
RAM timings seem to make no difference after 258, 2-3-3-8, 2.5-4-4-8... turbo/standard...?? I'm running 256 for stability... Weird how Win 2k crashs on me...
it is a bit depressing, but I do suspect the CPU...

Memory Dump - Don't use turbo/standard - Use auto
Did you increase the vagp to 1.7v and the vdimm to 2.85v? The HyperX also runs better for me at Cas2. Try setting the ram to 2-2-2-5 with 2.85vdimm (5:4 ratio) and boot into MemTest86. Run all 11 tests and not the default 7 tests. Start with default vcore at about 250fsb and see if you get any errors. If you get errors, increase the vcore one step and run memtest again. No errors = increase fsb. Errors = increase vcore.
edit: One other point is that Intel recommends that you disable HT when using Win2K. Processors/HT (http://www.intel.com/support/platform/ht/os.htm) I have 3 HT systems running Win2K with HT enabled of course, but I have been curious if Linux Red Hat or WinXP would really perform better.

Well, even if you don't get it any faster, Hyper-Threading makes me feel like all my former boxes running SETI have been doing nothing over the years! So it's always a great addition to the team. When you check the stats you can immediatly pick the HT guys out of the list cuz they all have like 10-20 WU's per day, lol!
Or maybe 1 HT box and lots of "former boxes" ;)

Or if you got double bit by the seti bug
maybe 1 "former box" and 5 HT boxes :burn:

thanks for the adder..... with 2 girls leaveing for college,,,, Im fighting to hold on to pennys.... but one day the petting zoo will turn into a farm with c-class cpus poping up like weeds and the amds dying a death like roundup on weeds.... well only one amd and I spent the weekend fighting its junk arse again.... texas welfare junk.....
