I Hate/Love you guys/gals

Ok you addicting people, I couldn't resist it. I OC my "Brand New PIII 1 Ghz. CPU. And I am pleased with it doing the small and simple OC. Some interesting results in terms of Si benchmarks

133 FSB results: Memory- 357/428, CPU benchmark- 2706/1339, MMX Benchmark- 5427/6648


140 FSB results: Memory- 382/476, CPU benchmark- 2834/1410, MMX benchmark- 5685/6963


150 FSB results: Memory- 411/512, CPU benchmark- 3039/1512, MMX benchmark- 6097/7468

And for the fun of it my 3DMark2000 score at 133 FSB was 7532 and at 150 FSB it is 8204. WOW

Is that an impressive score for the small OC or not? BTW I now have a P/// 1.13 Ghz :) LOL Also what is a typical Core voltage for this CPU at this OC? I am at 1.9V right now

looks like its a sweet CPU. I am guessing it goes no farther?

Umm my mobo goes no further :) 150FSB is the max!

I KNEW YOU WOULD GO FOR IT :)

gald to hear of your succes! yep now you'll be thinking about a new MB with higher FSB settings :) as you could get another 100MHZ out of her but is the price of a new MB worth the 100MHZ for me it was easy i only had the vh6 for a week so i took it back paid the extra 30 doolars and got the VH6-2 as far as your CV if you burn in you should be able to lower your CV i think i was running 1.9 at 163FSB and for a while in thw inter i was at 165FSB stable with 1.9. What you can do after burning in [I like Seti] would be to lower your CV .05 at a time until your PC locks up or reboots or gets unstable in anyway then bump it back up again this way you will know for sure exactly how much CV you actualy need. need any info dont be afraid to email me.

:) another overcloker is born!

I think I am quite happy with this set-up now. I can get 99 FPS in Counter-strike 90 percent of the time at 1024x768, That was my goal all along and this little OC is just cream on top to maximize my memory bandwidth. I was originally under the mistaken impression I could do PCI+HOSTCLK and shoot for 166mhz memory speed. But alas I found out after the fact, that it doesn't work that way :( Oh well. I think a memory score of 411/512 is acceptable for my "lowly" system :) J/K. Thanks for your input!

the p3's limit is around 1.1ghz usually. As for the memor option of host+pciclk this doesn't have much effect on the p3 much for the same reasons as ddr doesn't. The p3 bus will end up strangling memory bandwidth unlike amd's which uses a ddr bus.

Phil your advise is rite except for the p3 1g averaging around 1100 maybe when they first came out with low family numbers and stepping that may have been true but anymore there doing pretty well in the CPU database there are more [way more] over 1100 then under most people are bottlenecked at 1125 because there MB will only let them have 150FSB with FSB speeds above 150 and with CV at 1.9 and proper cooling as well as getting the right memory hard drive ect 1200 should be no problem at all.

[Phil]

You'd be lucky to get one to that without using silly voltages and cooling, There are rare cases or just plain bs where people say they have done but I would say 1.1ghz is a reasonable target much higher is luck.

actualy mine ran at 1200 with 1.85CV which is not to bad also running a cheap HSF and running cool at 30C [full load] 25C ambient. but if you look in the CPU database you will see i'm not alone. do you think 2.05 CV is silly? i'm not being sarcastic i would really like your advise now i'm at 1255 running at 31C running Seti, still using the cheap HSF but i'm ducted, huge HSF on northbridge, rounded cables, lapped every HSF on PC running 3 now, CPU,northbridge,videocard. 2 case fans, I know i have not been here as long as you but to this day i have not seen one post about someone who has this chip who says he cant get his 1000 CPU past 1100, as long as his MB will go over 150FSB and has proper CV up to 2.00. and the person has proper ram ect oh and its a 133. ive heard the 100's are not as good. I dont want to argue with you i just dont think you give this CPU enough credit i agree its a far cry from a p3 700 but hey someone has to give those amd boys a run for there money [i'm still gettin hosed] :)
