Got my window open right now and I am taking there advice. It sure is funny to see a 12X multi running on a 50MHz bus;) I think temps are like 10 deg. C in here right now;)

The above link says the way to burn in a chip is too have max vcore+min temps+ min hurtz.

Since gremlins aren't small enough to fit into my CPU, and since I've seen direct benefits from burning in a cpu, I think I can vouch for most of this article's truth.

[Pinky]

Oh, cummon people! This was a very informative article! BUmp!!

[ol' man]

Yeah I already have noticed the difference with my chip. I had it run prime today for like 5 hours on 1.8v @ 1.6GHz. It has never went that long on only the 1.8v setting in the bios. Well right now I am running at a 67MHz fsb and have the vcore maxed while running a 50/50 combination of prime and Sandra burnin’. Tonight again when I sleep I am going to open the window. Temps have been getting pretty low the last couple of nights so it may be working like he said.

This makes me think about the first night I had my chip. If I would have known this I would have ran my chip at 67MHz fsb for like 12hours and vcore maxed with the –70 deg. temps I had. Seems the lower the temps the faster the burnin’ will be. Now I know why those Japanese use LN and stuff for short amounts of time. It must be to get their chips burn’t in real good at the get go. They must have it down to a science and know right away if a chip is going to be a good chip after say like a 4 hour burnin’ with LN or even 1hour. I mean with LN you are talking what –195 deg. C temps. You would probably according to this get the equivalent to two days worth of burnin for only a few minutes with a LN setup you know.

I am thinking this works as good as the guys says. I guess only time will tell huh!

You really should try Toast, it was a recommendation of another member and is available through the link in my signature... very cool little burnin proggie...

let's see if this link (http://www.aoafiles.com/dafiles/CPU_and_Motherboard_Files/CPU_Stability_Testing/toast.zip) helps...

[ol' man]

Thanks man. The main thing with prime is that I can run anything else except that 1.8v for very extended amouts of time. I will run it with the other two tonight. I like how sandra lets you decide how much of its burnin program to dedicate to the clock cycles.

SO what kind of temps are yall getting running these BUrnIns.
I have my FSB at 66 and the Vcore at 1.8
And my temps are at 35C
Even if I turn the Vcore down to 1.65 I still get 32C-34C.
Anything lower than that and the comp isn't stable.
Where do you peeps have your voltage set at?

Well with my window open I think I was at like 15 deg. C last night. My opinion is it helped alot already.

If you would have read the above link and thread it says maximum vcore while having the lowest MHz your system can do as also temps. Do you understand now? I have my vcore at the max of 1.825v. I would assume with the PIII's you would want 2.1v but the FSB at 66MHz or lower. I can handle typing on a system for awhile with the speed at 800MHz. But only a week at best(well maybe a little longer;). If I get in a gaming attitude I will up it to 1600MHz but only for awhile then its back to 66MHz and the burn.

[Malodorous]

Yes I understand the link. BUt If I put the Vcore to the max of 1.95 at 66Mhz FSB the temps will still be 35C. WHich is what the link says to stay away from. Highest Vcore with Lowest Mhz with Lowest Heat.
I can get as low as 66Mhz and as high as 1.95Vcore.But the temps will also be high. I have been running the SETI today for 9hours at 1.85 and the temp is staying at 35C.
WIth my system at 66FSB I am at 500Mhz but I am running Dual Processors. Right now my CPU shows 100%usage, but my beast has no lag at all. I can do everything as normal while running the BUrnins at full blast.
Except the Dnetc one. It uses alot because it prioritizes itself.
Ill try turning up the Vcore more and see how it does.

[Malodorous]

Okay I got the vcore up to 1.95 and i have stabled out at
37C. with 100%CPU usage.
Is this okay?

[ol' man]

Yep that is the coolest you can get it then that is it. Do you sleep in the same room as your computer. If you don't then maybe you can open the window or maybe you could put a AC in their for a couple of days? I see you are in Oregon. Is it cold there? If so ther window would be a good bet at getting those temps down.

[Yodums]

Should I open my window .. I'm in the smallest room... My door is mostly open heh :)

And its really hot in here ! Parents wouldn't allow me moving me comp in the basement!

[ol' man]

Whne I came in my computer room this morning my chip was 22 deg. C which muxt be about 15 deg. C over room temp so it must have been real cold in here last night. Tried the toast program. I am not usre what you mean by opening your window. I mean are you and your omputer in the same room? I see your in Canada. I usually don't reccomens people make themselves into a popsicle.

[[EXC]DDan]

what program would be better to burn-in with: CPUBurn@36C -or- Prime95@28C

i know it sais lowest temp is better, but it also sais you need to stress your cpu as much as possible...

which one?

[6502kid]

Run them both !

[funnyperson1]

cpuburn is much better than prime95, but 6502kid is right, run them at the same time....

i need to download quake demo loop, but i cannot find it anywhere. yes, i know there is a link to download this thing according to the article, but it does not work! somebody?

[Pinky]

I think the demo is available through the link in my signature (below).'
How you use it is another question...

[ol' man]

In case you all didn;t know I got my dry ice cooler going and am in the process of the burn.

Here is the link to that thread.

:eek: .....chilly!! i felt the power of -65...:eh?: Tell us how you do afterward!

[Pinky]

So, Ol' Man, did your scores/performance/voltages improve or did you scr$w-up and fry something :p ??

[WyrmMaster]

Well you guys convinced me. Im at 550mhz, 2.18v. Dang its slow too. Probably run it like this for a couple of days and see if it helps.

Its amazing how much trouble i had to go through to get this thing that SLOW. At first it wouldnt do it, i had to step it down one multiplyer at a time, never could get 5x.

[Yodums]

2.18v !!

What are those temps..

I tried it by upping the voltage 0.5 since that katmai ranges from 2-2.05.. That really suxors.

[WyrmMaster]

35c. At that speed it runs cool no matter what.

[Malodorous]

I ran this for a few days, now I can overclock and run at temps in the 89(29C) range where it use to be 95(33C) range. I have seen a big improvement. NOt only am I running coller I don't have to use as much Voltage to make it stable. I can run stock voltage at 152 FSB and stay cool(Thats coming from 133FSB)
I haven't seen any performance increase, but I did see the increase in overclocking ability, which is what this is for, not performance.

yeah, i am waiting for ur result to determine if doing such will be worth of my time...;)

I assume by the temps you are running an Intell CPU. 2 days didnt do anything for my athlon, maybe AMD CPU's arnt affected by this as much?

[Malodorous]

Yes I am running dual PIII 1.0Ghz overclocked to 1.15Ghz.
Much more stable than before I ran the burnin. I have noticed the difference as I said before. I actually hit 76degrees when Idle today. before at idle it was in the 80's.
