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!
