Which P4 C to get??

nimrod0031 · 06-01-03, 10:40 PM

I will be getting a new cpu in the next week or 2 and am wondering what cpu I should try and get my hands on? I will probably be ordering from newegg.

whats the rest of the rig look like? using parts in your sig?

nimrod0031 · 06-01-03, 11:15 PM

right now I have 512mb xms pc3500. I will have to get a second stick of it for DC lovin

120gig 8mb WD. I will be getting a 9800pro (RIP 9700p) in a modded chieftec dragon case with jpiperformance watercooling. With my 2.53 in the sig I could get temps idle-31c load-34c @1.75volts.

The P4c will be going into either an IC7 or an asus p4p800.

I think a 2.4C might be the best choice. You have good enough ram to support some high memory bus speeds.

sangapski · 06-01-03, 11:20 PM

2.4C for the price and most had luck OC'ing it

nimrod0031 · 06-01-03, 11:25 PM

I was looking hard at the 2.8c Do you think the 2.4c is a better choice even if I order from newegg? I cant guarante I will get a stellar overclocker like my 2.53

My ram should be good it will do 470mhz @ 2,2,2,5 with 2.9v I just need another stick of it.

the "C" chips get about 3.5ghz-3.6ghz or so on air.
you'll need more then watercooling to get much higher.

I see no reason to get a new chip at this time.

your 2.53 at 3.5ghz will be about 5% slower in real world benchies then a 2.6C at 3.5ghz.

just get a dual DDR mobo and stick that 2.53 in it.
you''ll get a boost in speed just by doing that.

if you have the budget for it, 2.8C should be good

here a link Alphys thread on a 2.8C
looks like its doing good so far

but more have been getting the 2.4C coz its a lot cheaper
both chips been doing good OC'ing so far

exactly the reason i haven't upgraded to a c chip.

i might end up in a IC7 so i can get dual channel memory and a little better rails. but i'm not swapping chips til prescott.

same here...not till prescott.

then I'm jumping on them.(prescott that is)

well see the thing is I'm not sure if my 2.53 will still run. I had a accident with my 9700pro. The little green vmod wire of death got loose hit my mobo and shorted my whole system. Now my p4pe will not read my ide devices nor give power to my agp slot. I couldnt get the 2.53 to post either. This is why I'm getting new gear. I will be trying my 2.53's in my IC7 when it arrives (just ordered it)

Maxvla · 06-02-03, 12:16 AM

see.. this is why i don't vmod stuff

nimrod0031 · 06-02-03, 12:26 AM

I have learned...and never again will I use anything with a vmod. As if 400mhz core isnt enough for the 9700

dinster · 06-02-03, 01:00 PM

i think u should go for 2.4C since it'll give u the lowest multiplier compared to 2.8C, unless u can unlock ur processor
