Problem at 1.4?

[Bonka]

Woke up this morning and decided to do an OC to 1.6. I went and jacked my fsb to 133MHz, 1.6v w/out vcore mod, and set the dividers to 1/4. Locks on load into windows. First time I tried that it went ok, but it was very brief. I know the voltage isn't enough, but I'm sure my cooling would have something to do with it? I highly doubt the Volcano II as being suitable for this instant jackup.

So, I took it down to 1.4. Didn't check for stability but all seemed well at 117fsb, yet again, vcore upped to 1.6v. idle temps were around 39-40c. Again, I would ONLY assume that better cooling would allow me to up this thing to 1.5 without mod?

Ok, I will be wire tricking soon; will this guide be enough for me?

I'm planning to do the pinhole method, so should I expect anything unexpected if I place the copper strand in the wrong positions?

No!

You want to connect vid pins 1 and 2.

Check these sheets I think page 21 and 60 for the whole deal. Page 60 will show you a very good pic of the cpu. Find vid pins 1 and 2. Once you do this you will be set.
Make sure you have thr right pins found and mark them maybe with a black marker for the first time so you get the hang of where they are at on the socket.

Also you need very good cooling when above 1.5GHz.

Here is the link, do you have adobe?

Here is a pic to get you going. The pins are in the same corner on the larger pic in the data sheets. This should you help you though maybe get a feel what you are doing!

Umm, yeah it may not boot or worse case scenerio you may fry your chip if you connect the vcc to a vid pin. Not sure though and I never had the balls to try it. Best know for sure which pins are which and mark them on the socket with a marker for the first time. Now that I have done this to a few different boards I can find the right pins very easily. Remember you are looking at the backside of the CPU and not the socket so adjust accordingly! Find the pins on the cpu and then hold it above the SOCKET to find the right pins. It is bass ackwards if you try to go by the socket alone. So far with many different people that have done this I have yet to here of anyone frying a chip. SImply check and recheck and then before you boot recheck again. Then you should be safe and sure they are in the right holes!

How about burning it in more?

I'd rather wait until I get a new hs/fan combo before doing burn in. I'd much prefer to burn in with the chip upped to around 1.4, 1.5 (if stability holds in) :eh?:

39C is a very good temp full load...i think that heatsink is fine for the tually....maybe you shouldnt try to go straight to 1.6 and try intermediate steps in between..

At 117fsb that is not a good temp funnyperson. I am running 125fsb/1.7v and load temps never get above 39 deg. C.

i was running at 1500 (25fsb) and with a VolcanoII my temps never went above 38C.......

I wish those were load temps. Unfortunately, they're idle temps at 1.4.

Darn right these temps suck.

I think you agree that proper cooling enables good temp readings. Personally, I feel my cooling right now is worse than stock. My case didn't come with ANY case fans so I was unable to draw any air from the inside to the outside. However, with the case panel off, it really doesn't seem to make a difference. My ambient temps are about room temp, so better airflow is definitely in order here. I am thinking of getting the Alpha PAL6035 since the clip looks rather interesting to use. I'll also be adding a delta so hopefully, temp readings won't be as shameful.

Hey ol man, I thought you were watercooling that celly, or is it only when you up the fsb to overload?

no, you dont understand...watercooling is too safe for ol' man...he used dry ice just to see how high he could go.....:D
