What's your voltage? [retired sticky]

1.80 as my sig is,but if i raise the fsb to over 171mhz 1.85v

Dang, you beat me for first post.

Volt Modded 2.05v on Epox 8KHA+

Max O/C before v-mod 1743mhz

After v-mod 1930mhz

Call me stupid or something, but what exactly does a voltage mod do?

I gotta say, an extra ~200MHz froma mod is sweet!

Me, Im running @ 1.8V on my XP 2000+ AGOIA, 10x181

I have 1 stick of Corsair XMS PC3000DDR, is it possible to hit a 200FSB with that?

Also, using a Epox 8K3A

, a voltage mod allows you to venture behond 1.85V (Standard max) and go up and even over 2Volts depending on what resisters you decide to use.

My motherboard allows me to go as high as 2.1V after the mod and before the mod, I was limited to 1.85V

1.85V got me 1.4GHz, by raising the voltage to 2.05V, I am running smooth at 1.5GHz.

t-bird 1300 @1367 137fsb and 1.6 vcore. This is the first installment, setting up a killer pelt system.

A new dog or a shotgun or voltage mod
may be necessary to handle those AOL
CD's.

I ran my XP1900+ for a week at 1.775v
12x136 but had some trouble and then
upped it to 1.8v and it's been OK since.
I have my highspeedpc PC2700 on all
the cas2 and interleave 4 optimizations
and all the other mem settings.

Is it best to use edge(northbridge) or
center(cpu) whatzit control? I have
the fast command decode, maybe
ought to try ultra as everything is
fine.

1.82 seems to be this CPU's sweet spot.

my 1800 doesn't like higher than1.825 settings, which is really 1.85+ in the mobo monitor. i'm cought in between so i just chose 1.85, cuz that's what it's closest to in actuality.
although that was with the old hs. my cpu relocked itself, and i'm waiting for a new mobo to unlock it again. so my results could be a little different next go round.
as for now, abit kr7a-raid. but by next weekend, abit kx7.

XP2400+ at 1.75v
XP1800+ at 1.85v

It's all in my sig

****update****

Just made a duct out of dryer tubing and an 80mm fan running from my window.
Got up to 1680 last night @ 38 degrees celcius load. Oh yeah.
here's the stats:

vcore 1.8
fsb 138
multi 11? 11.5? Forgot, hafta do it again tonight!!

Normal everyday overclock is XP2000+@1893Mhz @1.825v
Max stable Overclock XP2000+@[email protected]
Max Overclock w/some issues, but runs through 3dMark [email protected]

I run my 1.2 tbird at 10*150(load 48C) with a 2.0 Vcore with my kingston pc2100. The other night though, I got it up to 9.5*165 by raising the PCI latency. It'd boot fine, but I kept getting little program errors here and there.

I got my TB1200@1450 145fsb running at 2.2V on a KT7A with volt mods.

With 2 120mm fans, my temps are now 35C idle/45C load.

I would like to see the +12 and +5v specs that you high oc'ers have. Post some please.

I had a water problem and fried my 1900+ on KR7A-133R,
so temporarily I moved my highspeedpc.com pc2100 over
to a Shuttle box running a second 1900+ AGOGA. I set
the ram settings the same, basically every setting at
max, cas2, 4 interleave, best numbers all through, and
even at fsb 133 that won't work. The highspeedpc
sticks are based on tested samsung 6ns chips. This
might just mean I have to raise my ddr voltage from
1.75 or whatever, but there's no way on the Shuttle
xpc. Shuttle xpc mboards have a lot of options that
are nice for OC'ing, but voltage is one of the first
things we need to have control over, and you can't
set the voltage up.

There might be a hint that future bios will allow
voltage setting, because cmos has an item for
Frequency and Voltage, but go in there and it's
only frequency.

The heat pipe thing is nice but my temp is higher
than with watercooling, and I had gpu and hd
on my watercooling radiator with cpu. Temp is
minimum 44C with no overclock, and with water
I was at 43.6 to 44.5C max with 5% OC and
add 4C for each 5% more OC. I put arctic
silver grease on the cpu in the Shuttle, and
arctic silver epoxy with the KR7A-133R setup.

I like that TyRex avatar, it expresses the soul and
essence of hacking. I unlocked a 1900+, fried it
when my water ran a little low, retired my first
four pc2100 sticks due to only one working in
the KR7, HPT raid controller went out, several
hard drives lost to water-cooling experiments
before I figured that out, flogging myself trying
to get a driver for linux Xserver on the Shuttle's
VIA Savage chip. Linux is like that, too, but
when it's working, wow. Yesterday I was
compiling X from source on the Shuttle box,
and at the same time serving mail and web
proxy and webserver and dns, no glitch
anywhere, while my win pc was gulping and
belching and puking just to download email
and get it organized, outlook crashing when
symantec scanned email for viruses. puny!

At the autoparts store, same story, throw
away four LED tail and brake lights and
two new tail light housings due to poor
quality control, kludge with caulk to get
the old tail light working, dodge the cops
to get it inspected where a man got shot
by a sniper.

My new 1900+ is only AGOGA but has SMP
stuff that linux can use for one processor.
Linux likes that, and the RTL ethernet chip
in the Shuttle xpc.

That Shuttle box needs source code hacking
on drivers for display and audio and ata133.
A few days there but at least the RTL ethernet
chip was no problem.

I'm actually using the shuttle xpc for a firewall
but it has an agp slot, 8x I think. If they add
voltage control to cmos...power supply is only
200 watts, though, more hacking required!

I'm at 1.85V on my Tbird 1400. I know how to solder but I don't like the idea of taking my CPU any further than that.

That's quite the clock for a 2200+
