P3 800 (100 MHz FSB) @ 1064 MHz?

[Wunder]

I was thinking, maybe ill try to run a faster processor in my motherboard. The motherboard has a x8 multiplier, so it could possibly take on a 800 MHz P3. Then i would try to run it at 133 MHz FSB to get 1064 MHz! The motherboard has a BX chipset so i suppose i would have to change the graphics card (currently savage4) to some nVidia stuff. My questions are these: What do i need to get the processor run stable at this speed? Possible at all? Need watercooling? Need peltier? Need what fan? What GPUs can handle the speeded AGP bus?

Any thoughts welcome!
me new to oc!
me learn alot thru overclockers.com!

Forgot to mention, me also need tips about socket to slot converters. Which ones are the best and which ones are most priceworthy?

to start I would recomend either the asus s370-dl it's pretty cheap and I have heard no problems about stability with it. as for the chip, you would need water cooling or a peltier really for an 800 overclocked to that speed, the 700 is probabally better as most will go to 933mhz with aircooling and some higher, most nvidia cards from the tnt2 generation onwards will take high agp bus speeds quite easily, also just because your board only has an 8X multiplyer doesn't mean chips with higher won't work, intel chips do the multiplying them selfs becasue they are locked so even if your board only supported a 5.5X (like one of my friends) they can still run any intel chip as long as they have the correct microcode for that chip. I would go for the 700E cCO and run it at 933 maybe higher (more difficult on the bx chipset) and just buy a good air cooler like one of the FOP's

think a 750 @ 1 GHz will settle with peltier? Does the asus modjo have adjustable FSB and voltage?

[Phil]

what boards is it? if you are going to pelt it then the 800 should be fine actually, as a lot of people with pelts get to around 1.1ghz

Well I'm running a 50w pelt on my 800E and I'm stable to 1000mhz. But I do plan on getting a 72w or 86w pelt. Then I do believe I will get close to 1100mhz.

I have almost exactly the same components as Bdf24 but I didn't install my Peltier on yet..Mine is running stable in 1000mhz with Air-Cooled Alpha. I would do 1008 but it restarts my computer after some of the 3D games (Even though Fallout Tactics)...I think It would go higher if I installed it back my peltier after I order the Copper Plate :)

Go with a board with the 815E chipset..me and warduck did our own evaluation between the BX and the 815E, and the difference isn't enough to buy the old technology..in my opinion, the BX is finaly dead, sure it can still out score anything out there, but not by much, and it sure isn't noticeable (in the real world), and the gains with the 815 outweighs the little extra performance the bx has. And the 815 will take you places the bx couldn't touch.
Asus, Abit, and MSI all have 815E boards....with Abit having the only slot one version

My pc PIII 800@992 its very stable and it doesn't run hot without any extra cooling , ik cant go higher than fsb124 when i set the fdb at 133 he wont start====>>> may somebody can help me??

I agree.

I have an MSI 815e pro, 800eb, 256 ram (1 stick being 100 mhz) tnt2 ultra.

Since putting her together she's been running at 1 gig, 166 fbs, at cas 2.
Not only that but after 6 weeks of running I now have

cycle time to 5/7,
ras to cas delay set to 2,
and ras precharge time set at 2.

But the icing on the cake is that I now can enable system bios and video bios ( was not able to do this 2 weeks ago) And still she's purring along taking every thing in her stride. To say Iam pleased is an understatment.

Btw my cooler is a good one. NOT the best by a long way but a good one.

So yes my friend go for the 815. I only wish Id gone for the 800 (100 mhz chip)

As I feel sure 1100+ would be no trouble with a good cooler.


Nanook a no no...watch out where the huskies go
