Went ahead and installed my 1000/133 chip....

[Falkentyne]

After a lot of delibreating, decided to go ahead and install this chip.

The first thing I noticed is that the heatsink /fan is absolutely huge, GOOD JOB intel. Much bigger than the slot 1 hsf's. I had to remove my PSU to even put the CPU into the slot, on my inwin a500 case :( oh well, time for a new case :(

Anyway....its doing 155 x 7.5=1162.5 with default voltage, and more stable at 155 FSB than the 600E @ 930 ever was (930 was unusuable because of the RAM errors that occred, regardless of cas latency).

So far, Unreal engine games have not crashed while loading in 40 load/exit/reload attempts. (On the 600e@930, Unreal games would usually crash about 50% of the time with property/c++ errors while attempting to load). BurnBX still quits fast, but I can't explain why 155 FSB is more stable on this chp. My best guess is that the heatsink/fan is a MONSTER.....MUCH better than those rinky slot 1 HSFs', and the fan is probalby blowing a lot more air on the motherboard, cooling it better. Either that or something is more stable since the 600e needed a slight voltage jump at 900 (1.7v), and 930 (1.75v) in order for burnP6 to not lock the system.

All I can say is, I'm quite happy :) 1162.5 @ 155 fsb, default voltage and my memory timings maxed out is nothing to sneeze at :) very fast :)


Not sure how it compares to a 1240 mhz (124 fsb) chip though..maybe ill take some sandra timings and compare to what Ebola posted. (Ebola, did you post your timings?).

my sandra scores should be in the 1240 and raising post. i have a bx board so for me it was a no brainer to get the 1000e chip vs the 1000eb. i have an alpha pal 6035 with a 3500rpm fan and 5 80mm case fans so i think i'll have good enough cooling to get to 1333. my current videocard is crap but it didnt mind running at up to 2x103 mhz when i had the agp at 1/1.

i think the 1000eb cdo is probably the best intel chip if you can get if your motherboard can handle a high fsb (160+) because your memory score should rule for sdram.

You're probably seeing the increased stepping shining through. It's bound to show up somewhere. Why not in the fsb possibilities. That's a darn good board you've got. I mean getting this high an overclock with todays high tech mobo's is one thing but you're really proving just how good a chipset the BX really was. It refuses to be put out to pasture.
