going down.......

[sendatooli]

things are looking good. as they usually are with these lucky intel cpu's!
just yesterday the max my machine would do was 1008 at 1.98vcore. today after running prime95 for 19 hours it is already running 1008 at 1.93vcore.
a couple of months and i should be up to 1085(my mobo's maximum).
in my experience i bring home a cpu and am dissapointed it will not even run where everyone elses does. six monthes later it is running faster than everyone elses. time and again. i guess i have backwords luck?

i saw a post from milkpowder (i think it was him) that said he was at 1008....then a post months later stating he was at 1064 and could even do 1085.
hey i was just wondering if anyone reads this that is above 1008 with a p!!!700 and air cooling. are you rock stable ABOVE 1008(1050,1064,1085)
in games and such? or do you need to turn down to 1008 to be 100% stable in every app?

burn in is the key,

My cb0 700 on a BF6 is rock stable at 1050. It was slightly unstable at 1078 but I haven't tried it in at least a couple months. I don't see a point, since the difference won't matter at all. 5% increase at this point is meaningless.

My cc0's on my dual board weren't happy above 1002 when I built it a few weeks ago. I will try to bump it up since they have been burning in with 2 concurrent Seti's ever since then. It won't make a difference either, but I'm curious to see how the burnin process has faired. Maybe over the weekend I'll have a chance to play a little.

It is very very important to read someone else's message very carefully and not to overlook quickly. If you go look at my post again where I said the all games both D3D & OGL games run rock stable at 1064mhz (152fsb) , that is the fact.

It is the 1085mhz that I cannot run games steadily. I said this before too if you go read my posts again. Reading posts extremely carefully can save great deal of time, m8! haha.. ;-)

running games at 1008mhz was long long time ago. Time as passed and reached for higher clock spds as a common thing, hehe.. You got it now?? cheers. ^_^

And please dont make me to repeat everything I had said... it's in there..... hehe

[[OC]_SR20DE]

Oh! and One more thing,.. Please read very carefully every single words in my last three posts at least.. so you wont mis-understand anything or be mis-informed . Dont miss out any words, thank you. :-)

milkpowder, im really sorry for not reading more carefully! you are right! i just got done ragging on people in another forum for not reading carefully!

anyways, i spoke too soon! i had to go back up to 1.98vcore. now i dont even know if it is stable there. damn, i shouldnt have backed it down so soon. is it just my chip is maxed out? or will time help? it usually does.
what did you do to get to 1064 stable?
thanx,
sendatooli.

sendatooli ,

yes.. that is correct. and yes.. im sorry too.. I shouldn't have bragged my CPU too much because it looks like im teasing other people here. :)

what I have done to run cC0 700E@ 1064 was not much of great deal of work at all.. I started upping from 1050.
No sign of any trouble @ 1050@ 1.85Vcore & 3.80 I/O. with air cooling: two case fans attached side by side and mounted above the Slot1 CPU cartridge & HSF(without touching them). The HSF with a single fan is used(not retail) because I dont have the room for Alphas.. The modified HS on the AGP chipset is sticking up high and that's why it's blocking the way.
Two case fans and CPU case side open kept fairly low temperature 28C idle % 39C full load. All games ran without any problems at this mhz.

At 1057 and 1064mhz, at first, one of my games(Q3A) ran not steadily. It froze after a while. I found the problem. I realized that it was the Vcore voltage little weak. I bumped the Vcore one step higher(1.90V) and leave the I/O Voltage alone.. and I added another Case Fan mounted. it's blowing the 3rd air directly toward the CPU HSF for extra added cooling. And I left the computer just sit and run for constant 4 days non-stop. It's not technically called burn-in method. I'd call it warming up, trying to get the CPU to get used to with its new mhz frequency.

Result at 1064mhz was totally stable in all applications ever since. That is how I got to this setting. :)

thanks for the info milkpowder. although, isnt the 1.85vc. in your sig. misleading a bit? you just mentioned in the post that 1.90vc. was one key factor to getting you to 1064. i dont mean to rag on you, just asking.
also i bet if i could change my i/o voltage it would do it for me too. since the problem seems to lie with my video card. although, you posted earlier that the i/o voltage was not my problem. so i dont really know.
why does your i/o voltage need to be so high and not mine?

You should know that all P3 700E cC0 don't perform exactly the same overclockability. They all perform differently "with" different Vcore and I/O voltages. If you check out "Bas"(another guy from this forum) , he has couple of 700E cC0s and apparently they overclock very well with "Default Voltage" that is 1.70V I think that's what he said from his posts. He also had his I/O Voltage upped only "1" or "2" Notches. That's what he said. Now, that is not much of increase in I/O voltage to sup his system up to 1064mhz heh?????? you may have no guarantee even if you're able to increase your I/O.

Same thing applies to cB0s.. they all perform differently in overclocking.

Apparently Bas's CPUs are the ones I am surprised about. He's lucky because he's got very impressive CPUs. Im not trying to discourage you that you cannot overclock where you want it. Dont take my words for it if you dont feel comfortable about it because my setup may not have any effect on overclocking your CPU.

BTW, the Vcore voltage in my signature was indeed at 1.85 that is because I "Forgot" to change it, and guess what .... I only made "one" mistake for that. I think that's pretty darn good for trying to make honest post as possible. I would not take that as "bit misleading". hahahahahahaha.........

Hello Tim,

Nice Pic you got there on your profile. :P You look like a college professor in Computer Tech. hahaha Nice ! :)

[sendatooli]

hey milkpowder, im sorry ididnt mean to offend you!
your posts are VERY honest.
i dont know if 1050 is that much faster than 1008, anyways. i just wish my voltage was lower. im working on more cooling. i dont know if that will help or not.
also, my temps have gone up for some reason. they are now 26c chipset. 33-34c cpu. at max load. i will reposition the heatsink later.

My good luck might have run out. Lately I have been having lockups even at 700mhz. dont know if something is corrupt like a file/registery or what. I finally got tired of it and reformated and so far so good.

But Its only a couple hours on the fresh install so I'll see how it goes. But Any way I was able to run at 1080 @ default voltage. But over 150fsb the TNT2 m64 will freeze or go back to desktop in games/3Dmark2000. I can run ate 1102 at 1.75volts .It is stable for surfing/benchmarks but not in the video department.

[sendatooli]

bas, your luck was amazing while it lasted! i have never been so lucky with a cpu. all my cpu's always satisfied me by reaching what i at least expected.
but, none of them ever really surprised me and made me say "wow"!
well, i hope your luck comes back!
