Noob wants to know if this will get me to 3.5??

Norweed · Feb 6, 2004

Intel 2.8c
Abit IC7-MAX3
With either:
Abit IC7-MAX3 i875P P4 800FSB
Corsair TWINX1024-4400PT 1GB DDR550 XMS4400 Ultra-High Bus Speed Memory w/Platinum Heat Spreader
OR
Corsair TWINX1024-4000PT 1GB DDR500 XMS4000 Dual-Channel Memory w/Platinum Heat Spreader

CPU colling would be done with a Zalman CNPS7000A-CU Pure Copper CPU Cooler.

Sorry for the NEWB question but I really want to make it to 3.5 on my first try. Anyhting thing I should watch out for?

Yeah, don't clock it to 3.5 on you first attempt

caboob · Feb 6, 2004

your best chance at getting to 3.5 would be to find a vendor that's selling SL6Z5 steppings like azzo.com or zipzoomfly.com.

You have a good chance of 3.5 gig, although nothing is guaranteed. Look at my signature, I have a 2.8C running at 3.5 gig. The PC4000 will probably be all you need if it's cheaper. The average is probably more like 3.4 gig, but some of the SL6Z5 have gone as much as 3.6 gig on air. It's a gamble.

Should have a decent chance if the chip is an M0.

M0??? SL6Z5???? 'elp

I was planning on getting all of my stuff form zipzoomfly

M0 is the stepping mask name given by intel. Its basically a EE that didin't cut the mustard I believe. SL6Z5 is the stepping code I'm not all too familiar with what they mean exactly but I believe the 5 indicates its a 2.8c and the 6z that its an m0 stepping. Knowldgable intel folk please correct me if i'm mistaken.

Can you see the stepping code on the chip or do u have to use cpu-z to see it?

The stepping is stamped on the chip and it's on the retail box as the last 5 digits of the Prod Code.
