View Full Version : still at 1240
well looks like i can go no farther. i made it all of the way though the windows 2k loading screen at 1333 but then i got a blue error screen. 1290 worked but the voltage was a bit high at 1.9v.
right now i'm running at 1240 at the default voltage (1.75v).
i think i'm gonna pull out my old isa network card and see if that was holding me back.
Wish you the best man. My P3 1000 / 100FSB SL5QV arrives Wednesday and I'm hoping that I can at least get 1250 or so out of it.
I'll be sure to post what mine does -- if anything!
Wish ya luck both of yah...
Nice ocing Ebola :P
thanks. even if it wont go any higher with the new memory i got, it was worth the purchase since it benchmarks about 8-10% faster with the cas 2-2-2 setting.
The nice UPS person delivered my SL5QV CPU before 10:00am this morning...
Right now it's running at 1250MHz (highest I've tried so far) at default voltage (1.75v). Motherboard monitor is reporting a temp of 48C running Prime95 so it's probably actually around 51/52C. Need to adjust some case fans and look into a new HSF probably.
Gonna let it crank on some Prime95 while I go cut up more of the tree that fell in the backyard...
I'm too lazy to search: what temps, HSF, speed and voltages are you brothers running one of these chips experiencing?

I've had one of these chips for about a week. I've got it in a Abit BX-133 RAID mobo with 768MB of PC150 King Max mini-bga dimms. This RAM is supposed to be top notch I believe. I am using an agilent arcticooler with ASII. If I run at 124Mhz FSB, i will be running the PCI at 1/3 clock at 31 MHz, is this acceptable? And will I just have to play with the voltage to see what works best? Thanks in advance.

LOL I made it. hahahahahahaha
Here's my good result.
Just received a P3 1Ghz cD0 10x multiplier and was able to load windows, rock stable, and as I am typing this message right now without a hipcup @ 1333mhz@ Vcc: 1.80 & VIO: 3.60@ CAS222 5/7 straight out of the box! LOL.. Well it looks like getting my hope too high is working as I anticipated, LOL. Remember, this is with the first try.. I just started off with Vcc: 1.8 volts (thought it should be adequate) and this holly cpu is giving me what I wanted. I should try and see if it will run at default voltage heehee.. I haven't overclocked it farther yet! We'll see what I will get out of this mean cpu! Wanna know my cooling setup? heehee :eek:
Excellent man!
Mine is running 1.33GHz at 1.75V at this moment... and haven't tried any higher. Seems to be running okay, but when my system comes up from a cold boot, it detects the CPU as a P3 667 and pops me into CMOS. I'll have to check to see if there is a bios update for this CUSL2...

Scott21,
1/3 of 124MHz is ~41MHz... Depending on what other cards you've got installed, I believe you may be able to hit that fine. There's only one good way to find out and you know what that is! If you hit a problem, yank all the cards but the video and if that works okay, start putting them in one at a time.

I'm sorry, I meant PCI would be running at 1/4 clock for 31Mhz. I was just wondering if running 2 mhz slower than normal would have any great effect on anything. I also read that anythng over 38MHz for PCI will cause problems, like scrambling HDs.
I've gotten 110MHz FSB to work fine. The only other I tried was 133MHz bus at 1.9v, PCI @ 1/4 for 33MHz and AGP @ 2/3 for 87MHz. I have a GeForce 2 PRO 64MB video card and I know it will take the increase in bus like a champ. When I attempted to boot the monitor clicked on like it was about to post, but then went back into standby mode and nothing else happened. Any suggestions? Does 1240 seem to be the sweet spot?
i have mine at 1300Mhz but cant increase the vcore to 1.85V.
i bought it from enpc.com. any idea ?? thanks

Yeh Pecos, where did you get your cpu at? also check out www.asusboards.com and in the forum search for "cold boot"
where you will find that if the default is not enough to boot at, a cusl2 will default to 66 mhz. there is a wire trick to help with this.

zPackRat --
Got my CPU at ENPC.com. Thanks for the tip on that website! I updated the BIOS (I was running 1006a and the latest is 1009!). I guess since the rig was working so good, I never bothered up update the damn BIOS!
Win2000 did NOT like it after I updated the BIOS. Since I didn't have an emergency repair disk, I had to boot from the CD and do an install over the top. It worked just like an emergency repair disk though!
CMOS reports my CPU temp at 45.5C at either 1.0GHz or 1.333GHz. I dunno what's up with that. The Alpha PEP66 doesn't feel warm and I've readjusted it upteen times and there's no difference. Right now MBM is reporting 36/37C with only IE open... I've got VB homework to do, so I'll let the system run some torture tests. I haven't tried any higher than 1.33GHz yet. I wonder where my ceiling is since I haven't even bumped up the voltage yet. BIOS reports vcore at 1.71/1.72 even!
auky--
What do you mean that you can't increase the vcore to 1.8? Does your BIOS not have an option, or does the system not work when you try 1.8? Love to help, but need more info -- motherboard type, temps, etc.

Damn.....a stable 1333 mhz......now my P3 1 ghz cd0 / 133 @ 155 FSB (1162 mhz) is feeling slow :( At least I'm at 155 FSB @ cas 2-2-2 with idle/pipeline dram leadoff set to "0" :) But I'd be angry if I couldnt get past 1290 on the 100 chip....
Someone said that the SL5DV and SL5QV (both the cd0 1 ghz chips) were originally the "Coppermine-T" chips, although something got redesigned or they were going to be Tualatin's at first. Is this true? The person mentioned the SL5QV was 'supposed' to be Cumine-T, but what about the SL5DV?
Are there ANY differences betweeen SL5QV and SL5DV, except the multiplier?
as of now, it can be booted with vcore 1.85V. my 1000e is from enpc also. but my pc will just freeze at 1250Mhz. the symptoms are strange --> monitor shut off, cdrom, cdr and harddisks' light all turn on.
could it be my psu problem cox i'm only using a crap 250W psu.
my specs are:
abit be6-2 rev1.2 (flashed to rev2.0/bx133)
p3 1000E from enpc.com (SL5QV)
voodoo3 3k
2 fans for voodoo3 (might have pulled some power)
kingston NIC
sblive value
WD 10Gig
any help would be appreciated. thanks
Ebola, as long as you have good cooling and watch your CPU load temps, 1.9v is ok to run. I've been running 1,9v with my P-III since last spring. Just keep the temps down to about 40 degrees. Yank that network card out and crank it up dude.
well its not the network card. i took that out since i dont use it anyways. i'm going to replace my modem soon so maybe that will help.
i think my board just doesnt like the high fsb speed.
what kinda modem are u using now
its a Conexant 56k PCI modem. I think its made by whoever makes the sound blaster sound cards. I'm looking at getting a hardware modem so i can run linux.

Maybe that "burn-in" theory works. I've been running 1110 all day today and I just tried 124fsb and this time it worked! 1.8 core and 3.6 i/o. Awesome!! This is screamin now! :D
edit: Idles in Win2k @ 82*F, or 28*C.

Pecos, contrats! That is a nice cpu u got there. You said u can run it at 1.33ghz@ default Voltage, that is facinating =)
So far, I concluded that my system is very stable at the voltages I mentioned above in office apps, but not in intensive gaming. I tried to run the Q3A demo continuesly but it froze. All games are now very stable at 1333@ 1.85 Vcore & 3.60 I/O, no crashes! haha :D :p Oh..my..gosh.. look at my CPU temp. I think SK6 is a bit of overkill for this processor even cauze I thought those 10x multiplier would heat up more than the lower multipliers, that's why I got this cooler. However in the CMOS, the cpu temp registers as 31- 32C. This cooler is a freak, haha
Anyways, here's my benchy on the Sissy Soft:

Just bumped my p3 1Ghz@ 1350 (135mhz FSB) and the benchy.. =)
yo...what power supply are you using?? and what's your max temp??? mine will not pass 1200mhz...i can boot to 1300mhz at default voltage but not beyond that and after a while, my monitor turn off and all the cdrom, cdr and harddisk lights turn on. can you tell me what's wrong with my system? thanks..

auky,
a 250Watt PSU :D surprised ha? I still suggest you 2 use a 300watt PSU for enough power.
My max load temp during the Sissy soft sandra burn-in 100 runs looped, 38 degree celsius.
What mobo are u using? What Vcore voltage (and I/O Voltage if available in your mobo)? What cooling are u using? Is your room temperature very hot? all these affects OC'ing especially the Vcore voltage setting. Mine wouldn't run stable in windows at default voltage at 1333mhz so I had to bump it to 1.80 and 1.85 if I want all my games run stable without crash.
If you have 2 to 3 sticks of RAM on your mobo, try taking it out one by one because starting at 133mhz bus, instability on the RAM are common. Make sure you have good quality RAM.
Another thing is that having a good CPU chip(one that OC's better than the other even though they both have the same stepping). You might have reached the limit but keep trying, game isn't over yet.
I don't think you have to worry about cooling the AGP chipset so much we are not talking very high FSB here.. Just have some good thermal compound between the AGP chipset and that Greeny factory heatsink to give yourself some room for OC.
You have Artic Silver compound on your CPU also? That's a must.
I don't think u have to worry about the Video card so much at the moment cauze once again, the FSB we are doing isn't that high.
Hope any of these helps.. =)

Thanks man! Right now I'm running at 1.33GHz @ 1.80 volts... the system would do everything but complete 3DMark2001 at default voltage. :( Mind you that I haven't tried an extended gaming period yet, just about 20 min worth of Quake3.
I've gotta look into getting a new HSF. This Alpha PEP66 is just not cutting it on a socket board (Asus CUSL2) since it was designed for a slocket. Booted up at 1.35GHz @ 1.80v and it POSTed and booted Win2K fine, but it wouldn't get through the 3DMark2001 test. I don't wanna up the voltage more until I get the temps down. BIOS is still showing 44/45C at idle (even at 1.0GHz).
Tried 1.4GHz @ 1.80v and the system POSTed, but would not boot. Again, I'll have to wait until I get a new HSF combo.
yo..i have everything you mentioned.
-artic silver applied with golden orb
-abit be6-2 rev1.2 flashed to rev2.0
-256M pc133 (able to go 144mhz @ 2-2-2)
-temperature was freezing here...i live in buffalo!!
-chip from enpc.com SL5QV
-max temp was 51C
i think i have almost the sam rig as you do. but i can only run it at 1800Mhz @ default voltage without freezing.
somehow, my freezing symptoms are strange and i never seen it in my life before.. booted into windows, after a few minutes, monitor turn off, lights from all the cdrom, cdr, and harddrive turn on and remain forever. do you know what's wrong??? thanks for any inputs.
btw, do you need some sort of cpu burn-in???

1800mhz
hahaha
sorry i'm sure you made an error.
oh yea throw your gorb in the trash and buy a real heat sink. you'll thank me later.
hell yeah :D 1800mhz was too much:D ... 1200mhz at default voltage hahahha...

i discover new thing, the lights not turn on forever. they stay there for a while and then my pc rebooted.:mad:
btw, what's the top hsf out there? thanks

i really wouldnt know for sure. alpha makes a ton fo good p3 slocket370 heatsinks like the pal 6035 and pep 66.
check with the cooling section. they let you know whats best.
ebola, can you crank you system to 1300 mhz stable??? if so, what is your settings. thanks
auky:p
i can get to 1290. i dont have a 130 fsb setting.
my board supports 66,75,83,100,103,112,117,124,129,133 and a couple more
at 1290 its a bit unstable and i have to raise the voltage up to arround 1.95v. i could probably do better but there is no way in hell i'm putting my delta back in the case.
at 1240 im doing good and my memory scores are awesome for a p3 board.
you're rite..as of now, i'm finally stable @ 1240mhz..no 1250 or beyond that...i think it's the max for this chip... :rolleyes:

auky, sorry I was busy yesterday so I wasn't able to answer you. Anyways, there isn't clearly which one is the top HSF. There are many highly competitive, high performance HSF's out there.
The Top list as follows:
-Swiftech MC462A
-Thermalright SK-6 Pro
-Alpha Pal 8045
-Taisol 760
-Glaciator
-and many more..
Every individuals have their preference that fits their need such as having quieter fan noise, size of the HSF, price-to-performance ratio, compatibility, etc.. Many people claim that Swiftech MC462A is the best out there. Thermalright SK-6 in my opinion, is better. You can immediately scratch off Swiftech MC462A and Alpha Pal 8045 because they are specifically designed for the Socket A Athlon boards and you'll have trouble fitting them on the slotket. These don't have metal clips like the most other HSF's that you would attach it on the Slocket or the Socket 370. SK-6 works on both Socket A, Socket 370, Socket 462, and can also fit on most Slotkets. Alpha PEP66 that Ebola has is a pretty good. That's designed very well for the Slotket.
One more thing, you haven't answered my ques.. What Vcore voltage are you at? Can you bump it little more? What's the max available voltage in your BIOS menu? Running at default voltage for OC'ing these chips over 1.2- 1.3+ Ghz is pushing it. Try upping the voltage if you haven't done it as long as you can maintain the temperature within safe range. Let me know! =)
i already ordered the thermalright sk-6 with delta 8000rpm :eek:
i'm using 1.7V that's below default at 1260mhz. mine was award bios which will allow me to up the vcore to 2.00
