Ga60xet-c + Piiis

[pappypete]

XET-C PIII 1.26S-1.45 CV @ 160FSB=1.52 GHz

This board works great...including dividers. At
the moment i'm limited by ram, crucial PC133.
It will load windows @ 165FSB but is flaky. I
haven't experienced a hang or reset......and
believe this chip will do 1.6+GHz. I'm not going
to do any testing until i get better ram.

Very nice. I wish my TUSL2-C had those dividers. :(

[tainice]

uh, what'z your stepping?

[tainice]

Wow!! guess what? i see alot of people owning a P800eb and P-S1.26!! dunno what gives but i am just like that...a 800eb and a 1.26:)

[pappypete]

The chip is a philly SL5LW

I'm glad to see it's working well for you pappypete....

What dividers are we talkin about here i'm just curios cuz this board is maybe my next option.Does anyone know a good review of this mobo?
thx

[pappypete]

Thanks Fluid......i believe i got lucky with this chip.
The fact that it does 160FSB@ 1.45 CV, i have no
idea what the top end might be. The way it runs
now, i feel sure of 170FSB?

very well done!

these boards are showing better and better overclocks!

Good work pappypete!!!

You could run your RAM at FSB-PCI speed, so you could see if it's really your RAM that is holding you back!!

Yes, I did that with my XET board because the Crucial ram I have isn't reliable past 155 fsb @ 2-2-2 5/7 timings. I then went ahead and set the jumpers on my board to fsb - 33 mhz and got my proc up @ 1549/163 fsb w/1.63 volts vcore showing in bios. Sounds like you got a real sweet chip, but my pelt/watercooling setup is almost ready.:D Then I really plan to wring out my 1.26S and see what it will really do. I'm hoping to get this proc stable in the 170-180 fsb range.:D

I thought about changing the ram speed, but, i'd
still like ram that can do the job..... Don't take me
wrong, i'm happy with my ram. It's only cas 3....it
will run 3,2,2, 7/9 @ 160FSB

I also plan to upgrade my memory sometime in the future but I'm kind of tapped out right now with all the costs involved getting this pelt/wc system running. I've been going in with new components because I don't want to fight old parts frying or leaking while overclocking as high as I plan to get this system. Just the psu for the pelt was around $150 shipped and the case, block and radiator ate up a good chunk of change too. I'm not regretting it though; everything is starting to look real good on this project and it's coming together real nice.

pappypete, you mentioned about the divider, so what's the PCI bus at 160 fsb? fixed at 33?:rolleyes:

[pappypete]

At 160FSB w/PLL 16 it's at 30/60....i did manage to
get a few more, @165FSB it's 32/64, i think

[pappypete]

I just went into bios....at 165FSB it's 31/62...
at 175FSB it's 33/66

165/31=1/5

175/33=1/5.3

is there a rule, formula, choice governing the PCI bus figures for FSB>133?:rolleyes:

[pappypete]

If i understand......1/4, at 133FSB 33/66, at 150FSB
37/74...the PLL 16 (1/5) is a choice in bios
