Finally did it

[Elchulo]

I have finally after wasting a lot of time I have finally completed past 24 hours of dual prime 95 at 3.5ghz on my 2.8ghz p4 northwood highest celcius reached was 39c and i have some pics lets see if i can upload those somehow

Nice temps, what kinda cooler you got?

[Time4aMassiveOC]

yeah really, he kinda has to either have water cooling or a super cold house and a thermalright xp series

[fAlCoNNiAn]

nice clock and temps.

i vote mess up mobo sensor. :p

[Elchulo]

My goal has always been 3.6ghz with this processor but I am afraid to do 1.7volts. My 3.5ghz was reached under 1.625 in bios cpuz says 1.664, and no i dont have water cooling, I am just running on air. I live in boston,ma is not that hot summer almost over

[Skeen]

So...stock cooling? No need to be coy.:D

Congrats, I could only make 3.6Ghz after going watercooling but the 7Mhz FSB difference @ 3.5Ghz is negligible. Your system already flies!

[Elchulo]

Skeen not stock cooling i dont even know what to call that heatsink i bought a couple of months ago and i have vantec tornado on top of that heatsink with artic silver on the processor.

[Elchulo]

Lancelot how hot does your processor run 3.6ghz under full load and have you tried going higher with water cooling?

[Lancelot]

Currently at 42C with 22C ambient. (full load running two Folding clients)
Take note that this is with a NB and GPU block in the loop as well...

I tried going higher but I don't want to go above 1.65Vcore. At 3.64Ghz 260FSB Prime95 becomes unstable, one of the clients drops out. And if I leave it at that speed I sometimes find a black screen and locked up system overnight. 257FSB is rock solid though, I even run Partitionmagic, DriveImage etc. at that speed! What's the sense in having a great OC but having to revert back down everytime you need to work on your setup anyways?
