Time to shoot for the 1G mark...

Well, the Shipping Gods finally deigned it time to deliver my MSI-6905 r2.3 yesterday (as well as my retail cC0 C-II 600, but that will have to wait a bit...), so I can finally try and take this so-far fairly impressive OEM cC0 C-II 600 up over a gig. Thankfully, my CD-RW was also delivered, so I can back up all of my data on the HD in case it doesn't like running off spec at 112fsb- even with a computer over 4x faster than my old one, I -don't- want to spend that much time re-converting all the video files I've got. I really have high hopes for this chip- it's doing 927 at stock voltage with not a single complaint, so I'm hoping with a few minor voltage bumps I'll get it up to 1008. Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed...

p.s.- I've got to love some of the disclaimers and such on products I've gotten in... the disclaimer about not putting AS-II on your eyes was pretty good, and the irony of having a little "These setting should always be left at default" printed below the rather large voltage jumper table on the MSI Slocket's instructions was just perfect. :)

Don't be too sure, when I got my cCO 600 it would do 927 with 1.75v but wouldn't do 1008mhz, it would post at 1.8v and get into windows with 2v but wasn't stable even with silly voltages like 2.2v, so I tryed burning it in at 600mhz with 2v, after a few months it ran at 900 with just 1.55v and 927 needed 1.6v, lower than the standard voltage, but I needed 1.9v for it to seem stable but I recentally tryed prime95 and it fails, if I increase the voltage it takes longer to fail, but still fails with 2.2v, this is only prime95 but I consider it a very god stress test. Hopefully the millenium copper that I am being sent for being a senior membor will help as I am currently using an FOP 32-1, I did originally put a 47cfm fan on it but found better results by putting the 60mm ys-tech back on and having the 47cfm 80mm blowing cool air into the case directly in front of the cpu.
