The beast is back, PIII tualatin 1.2 @ 1.6GHz, 177MHz fsb. The ST6 rocks @ high FSB!

[ol' man]

Intel "fixed" my cpu today! It works greand indeed hitting 1600MHz on 1.68~1.69v. Here are some screenies.

[ol' man]

More....

Wow, that's really sweet! Congrats!

[ol' man]

Well here is what it can do on low vcore. 1.2GHz @ 1.2v. The IHS has not been removed yet but soon it will be. I am going to run this chip with only a fan on the PSU and OC as much as I can. I am going to duct the HS to the PSU like Dell and Gateway do with some of their computers. Should be a ultra quiet system.

[ol' man]

What do you see wrong with the above picture?

The L2 latency is at 1!

On the tualatin it is supposed to be at 0! Hmmm, I may rma this back to intel again! Well maybe I won't, crap, sucks anyway! O well I can't complain since my first chip was well hacksawed:D

[tainice]

ol'man is back, watch out:) anyway, cpu-z won't recog my L2 cashe.....strange, and it won't even read my vcore!!

[ol' man]

wcpuid says the latency is at 1 also!

[tainice]

damn, that suckz!! are you sure they did not "accidentally" switch a celeron on you? or it must be a super celeron with 9m and 133f and will be recong as PIII.....:)

[ol' man]

914MHz @ 1.07v

:D

Temps @ that speed/voltage?

[Flu!d]

Mabye the L2 cache latency on the Celerons and 256k P3's isn't 1 at all and it is just reported wrong by various CPU identification proggys?

As I haven't noticed a peformance drop due to this supposed L2 cache latency cycle at all?!

Just a thought....

LOL!

Can you drop it down to 66 FSB? Hehe...it'd be interesting to see if there was anyway to run one on a fraction of one volt....and also see if you could run one with a small heat sink and no fan....

Not because it's useful, but because it'd be interesting! Heh....600 MHz Tualatin....mwahahaha!

[Yodums]

Wow thats some crazy stuff. Send the screen shot to them sites where they post those high things :D

Yodums

[Pecos]

Hmm... anyone else check their P3 Tually chips for the L2 latency?

Maybe Intel sent ya the first 133MHz bus Tualeron!

[tainice]

mine says ^O^

[ol' man]

I installed some tweaker proggies for my vid card and have noticed all kinds of weird things going on here. I am going to get rid of the tweaks and reinstall. This can't be right.

Ok ol'man how did you get the multiplier lower.

Extol:

ol'man is using a PIII-s 1200 chip, so his multiplier is 9.0 sharp. canot change multiplier on Pentium III......at least i have not seen anyone "unlock" an piii.

[oldfart]

CPUZ seems to not be able to read my Vcore. It's 1.50

[tainice]

ol'man, i told u already, cpu-z cannot deal with P-s 512.

[ol' man]

Well I sure can tell the difference between my 1.6GHz vs. my 1.2GHz when running apps and going online believe it or not. My plan was to run my PIII @ 1.2GHz and low volts but now after I see the performence hit I think I may stay with the 1.6GHz cel-t. Rats, foiled again:D

[gnif]

I have a PIII 1.2Ghz Tuli, I have it running at 1.5Ghz:) on a 160Mhz FSB, my mb suppots a max of 166Mhz on the FSB but when I clock it up there I get GPFs and BSODs under windows 98 & 2K, I think it's a memory related problem but I can't find any faster memory to test with. I have tried upping the voltage on the chip with no success.

Also at 160Mhz FSB once the sys is running, if I reboot I get an two tone siren from the PC spkr and the sys wont post. If i power down and up again I 50% of the time get post beeps(for memory):eek:. I am allready running the ram at CAS 3 as the sys wont even post at CAS2 when it is not overclocked.

PS: ol'man's CPU isn't a PIII-S, the PIII-S has 512K Cache, not 256K

[jdmcnudgent]

nice:D

[Sklathill]

What kind of hard drives are you using that can work with that high PCI bus?

[ol' man]

Seagate cuda's with fluid bearing!

I am using a 30Gig Segate Barracuda ATA II w/fluid bearing & a 40Gig Western Digital 7200RPM HDD
