I spent a few years working out if clutching onto the P4G8X Deluxe was worth it, I still love it, so took a bit risky punt on the CHINA chips.
On the outside
SL6PG CHINA
The other numbers said it was...
It was Factory 5, Shanghai China?
2004 November
On the inside
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.06GHz (ES)
Stepping 12-23
It is unlocked! And the P4G8X did not sweat and unlocked all the settings.
I have an XP-90c heatsink with a ducted fan system. After I installed it the temp was 44 and under load (I use DVD Shrink "analyze" for this as it always crashes if the system is overclocked to much) it was 59... My 2.4@3 and [email protected] never went over 55. Might be better after it settles in (The idle usually drops 4C, but it has never gone over 55 b4, so fingers crossed)
Nice CPU anyway, just thought I would let you know as I could not find much info on it.
I will OC it next week, when it beds.
Oh, anyone got any advice on multipliers? I have only really changed FSB in the past. I am temped to drop the Multi to 19 and up the FSB to 667... would this be safe do you think? Are there any programs that edit multipliers in XP on the fly?
Oh and I ordered a PowerColor HD3850 AGP, it will be CPU bound, but should be fun (maybe even funny), I might be one of the first to get this via retail so I will tell you how it goes next week sometime.
Cheers.
