LOL...what mother board and ram are you using that will let you run 330fsb?

seriously, without screens, i can't believe you, and btw 1.725v on air is NOT SAFE. chips at that voltage can die out of nowhere, even on a vapo.

*edit*, i would LOVE to see some screens if you got em, cuz that would be an insane OC, that would be the highest fsb i've seen, short of running a ES chip and phasechange cooling the NB.

Awesome chip m8.

BTW, mine (2.4c) @3,2ghz 1,575vcore on ic7 (not max3) cooled with a Spark from ttake reports as high as 69c under prime torture test, but is 100% stable trough 24hs or more of it.
I'd really like a poll of everyday idle / full load temps among inel overclockers in order to know wich temps have proven safe or dangerous to the life of the cpus. Once more: REALLY NICE OC

true, you should show us some proof of this lovely oc and get a thermalright sp-94 with a 92mm vantec tornado

NICE!

I just updated to 2.1 BIOS on my IC7-G and now I can get 285FSB to run stable, whereas I could only get 282 before. I am testing now...hopefully it will go higher. :)

Case: 31C
Load: 49-50C
Vcore @ load: 1.51V

Keep us updated.

P.S. I also would appreciate some temps that people are running on their 2.4C's.

Im running an IC7-Max3- The room it is in also has sub-45º Farenheit ambient temperatures. Would anyone care to tell me how to take a screenshot?

The Chipset is cooled by a DANFOSS compressor setup custom made by JaG-CAM technologies.

By the way, my chip failed at 13 hours, 3 minutes, 56 seconds Prime95.

yeah press the prntscn button on your keyboard, to the right of your f12 button and then go to paint go to the edit menu and press paste then safe the file. Run CPUID and take a screenshot.

InvisGreenMan

02-14-04, 01:40 PM

Does anyone else get the Vcore drops that I get? I have it set at 1.55V in BIOS, but it goes down to 1.504-1.520 when under and jumps around between those. I think this is why I am having trouble getting over 285FSB. Any suggestions?

02-14-04, 02:20 PM

any screens yet?

use cpuZ, hit ctrl-alt printscreen, and it will only take a shot of the active screen.

i am EAGERLY awaiting a screen of 330fsb with a max-3, seeing as the pci/agp lock usually craps out after 300fsb in that board (same as i've got btw..).

02-14-04, 02:54 PM

I sure hopy my 2.4c that's arriving this Tuesday is as much a champion among cpus as it seems yours is. My early production 2.8b it will be replacing sure isn't, i don't think any of the 533fsb northwoods ever really were great overclockers.

My 2.4c will have everything going for it though, IC7-Max3, BH-5, Prommey, 550w Sparkle : )

I'm day dreaming of 4ghz (my 2.8b even with 1.75v couldn't ever stabalize past 3.15ghz).

Krowa 02

02-14-04, 03:18 PM

IC7's report higher than normal temps all the time, mine does the same thing, my Idle temps are usually 38-40 and load goes to 43. Actually tems are much lower because before I fixed my cooling setup my hsf was never hot when i touched it (it isnt now either)

Jimbob7

02-14-04, 03:22 PM

Nice overclock AMD_Me, get some good cooling, see what that chip has left in it ;)

02-14-04, 03:50 PM

I am sorry but i will not believe you withput proof. THG who hold the record (5.25ghz) could not get over 308fsb and that was with -192c liquid nitrogen cooling. There north bridge was a compressor alone with ram. @ 5.25ghz they said that they could not run a thing and only at 4.7 could they run programmes.

Arkangyl

02-14-04, 03:52 PM

crazy OC there AMD_Me (traitor...)

on the whole Abit temp thing, I assume the overtemp is true on the AMD boards too? if thats the case then my temps are crazy low... 41c load @ 1.9 vcore 2.5ghz seems pretty damn good by itself, if thats a high number then I'm in heaven

02-14-04, 04:11 PM

everyone just believes this straight up? 330fsb on a ic7-max3 is ABNORMALLY high. when posting overclocks such as this, it is customary to include MANY screens of diff progs..

the highest i've ever seen a 2.4 go was jdmcnuggets, and i think that's 316fsb on a p4c800-e.

i won't believe untill i see some screens....

so if i came up with a new thread claiming to have a 2.8 @ 4.5 on AIR COOLING, and provided NO proof, you would believe me?

its the 330FSB i find unbelievable. 3.9ghz isn't unheard of (ON A PROMMIE), but on a ic7-max3, AFAIK 330fsb IS unheard of. a few simple screenshots isn't really asking for much, and until i see them, i call bullshieeet. :rolleyes:

btw, he asked how to take screenshots a few hours ago, i still see none. and frankly, i don't see how someone who has to ask how to take a screenshot could acheive a OC like that, as we are talking heavy modifications to make 330fsb even possible (i think, i've never SEEN more than 316, and that was by a VERY accomplished OC'er).

02-14-04, 07:31 PM

I think beatbox has it right; be skeptical but not cynical because both optimism and cynicism are equally blinding. I'd be interested in seeing some caps as well as I've never heard of a 2.4C doing speeds like that. Maybe if Oppainter or MrIcee posted this, I'd believe it without proof but then again, if either of them did it, they woulda posted caps with the first post.

~THT

AMD_Me

02-14-04, 07:46 PM

First, to clear up any confusion, I had a compressor running on the Northbridge. I was using air cooling on the CPU only.

Now,

I am writing this from my 3.51 GHz P4.

During testing, my computer crashed and now will fail to boot under any circumstances. The CPU has been tested in 3 motherboards.

I can boot at 330 MHz with my old chip, but I am lucky if I can get a Screenshot. I did snag a screenshot with the old setup and it will be up in the morning.

This has all been done with my friend's custom-written BIOS that he wrote as a project for his class at CTI (local technology school.)The BIOS addresses several known issues (one being that the PCI Lock craps out at between 299-300.5 MHz [Clock Generator margin of error] on each and every IC7 Max 3 I have tested.)

I will be able to upload a Beta version of the BIOS after I test it more thoroughly.

This project has been a joint venture of JaG-CAM Technologies and Christopher Mayo. Look at our temporary home at my homepage of www.nolifeforever.net.

I thank Josh at JaG-CAM for his handpicking my chip and motherboard and making this venture possible with his selection skills and CNC milling machines.

[MINI-SOAPBOX]
I do not claim myself to be an accomplished overclocker. I myself have never ventured beyond the 4 GHz mark, not to the likes of MrIcee. I appear to have received a chip that burned very brightly for a short period of time. I apoligize for not capping any screens for the first post, but as I have said, I didn't know exactly how. Again, the screens will be up tomorrow morning.
[END SOAPBOX]

Regards,
AMD_Me with the P4

P.S. The screen reports only 320 MHz FSB

Under the very same logic what good is a screenshot, I know nothing about Photoshop, and I could fake a 6ghz overclock easily.

Where are the screenshots though, mate. Just press print screen above the home, end, insert, pageup, pagedown keys on the board, open up paint, and hit paste. You can host them here.

I did and still do believe he hit 330. Not stable obviously, and for how long at 1.725v? Not very is the answer.

I agree, screenies aren't ultimate proof, but they are the best we can do and much better then someones word with as easy as it is to lie on forums.

02-14-04, 09:51 PM

Beatbox, you read me wrong, what i was saying is, just because something is a bit outof the ordinary, or 'better than expected' as it were doesnt mean to say that they are lying, you should give him a chance, and take into account that he might have got an overclock of 3.9ghz, and if he doesnt prove it then so be it.

no one here can prove that he is lying so therefor give him a break, he could have achieved this. Some chips do have good headroom so why not?

I've ran 2 NWs at 1.75 volts for over a year and it doesn't kill them. 12 hours at 1.725 ain't killin anything. SNDS I think is a bit of a myth or just made out to be more than it is. Maybe voltages higher then 1.75 will kill, I wouldn't know. 1.75 volts and down should be quite safe. Hell if it yielded decent benifits I'd run my chips at 1.85+ just to see if they would die.

Also I have been here for a couple years now and even lately someone called me a liar for saying my 2.4@3.2 runs on only 1.28v. It is belivable, macci ran @ the same speeds with a 2.4C quite a long damn time ago air cooled. I have a screen shot @ 3.98GHz aircooled with my 3.0C. I also have a screen shot of 2.4C @ 3.2 on only like 1.18v.

2.4C @ 0.94v

2.4C @ 3.2GHz @ 1.18v.

It is not stable at 1.18v but it would boot into windows at this voltage.

What does this really prove.

If you don't believe don't start crap. Just shut up and walk away.

So because of these few incidents and because you were called a liar we should never question anything posted?

When it was claimed the thing ran at a speed for 12 hours of prime, then all of a sudden after screen shots were asked for it couldn't even boot at that speed and was only stable at 500 mhz less its fairly obvious somethings going on. When its at a FSB no one has reached yet it was fishy. When after being questioned about problems at FSB higher then 300, a brand new hacked bios from a friend was being used that fixes those problems. Of course, after the fact like so much information that would have been put in the original post had it been legit. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what is going on.

Attepting to find out the truth isn't starting crap. The best thing about these boards is that we have people who know what they are talking about and it keeps the lying and BSing to some what of a minimum. Telling people who know better then to believe anything posted on the internet to "shut up and walk away," that is "starting crap."

IMO, this thread is officially BS. I'll not waste anymore time waiting for some form of proof. If you'd like to discuss this further or just tell me to shut up again, PM me.

02-16-04, 10:54 AM

AFAIK, they don't let anyone into the Guiness Book of World Records without some proof of their achievemnt. Why should we accept otherwise? Given that this would be a record FSB for an IC7-MaxIII (by quite a big margin), it's perfectly natural to expect and demand some proof.

wow amazing i wonder what the actual techincal explaintion of why it wont run as fst as b4.

some 2.4c's THEMSELVES i'm sure are capable of 4GHz. its the MOBO i'd say won't cooperate. 335FSB afaik isn't really feasible without an insane amount of mods. yes, 400FSB has been acheived, but only on a ES chip with an unlocked multi...

once some new revisions of current boards come out with higher fsb's possible (dam abit, fix your agp/pci!!), then MAYBE we'll see a bunch of 4GHz 2.4c's.

My 2.4c can hit 289FSB on stock voltage, but the moment I hit 290, the BIOS shoots itself in the foot and corrupts upon POST. I really wish that I could believe a new mobo would let me hit 300+, but I strongly doubt it.

im gettin one of those r2d2 jobs that measure pci speed... im thinking that there is a window where things go awry. for example 299-301 then it corrects its self till the stock components just wont push it any further- probably around 310 315 . i doubt seriously if any un modded boards would run that hi. for 335 you absolutely gota get extra juice to the northbridge, not to mention precision caps to even out the peaks, and god knows what else ,that only the maniac hipro has figured out...
