Puerto Rico P4 1.6A??? 3/20/02 though =)

Tr0LL · 05-16-02, 03:40 AM

I just bought another p4... Haven't gotten it yet, but the seller told me it's a puerto rican chip. FPO/BATCH# : 3207A055 PACK DATE : 03/20/02

I know the pack date is good (or so I've heard), but puerto rico? Never heard of one of those... Anyway, if any of you have one, or even just a 3/20/02 pack date lemme know how far you got yours?

I have a Costa Rica 4/14/02 pack date right now that I have high hopes for... it can do 2.5 at 1.625V easy, but my hdd can't handle that bus speed so I can't push it any further until I get my Epox 4bda2+

I am only going to keep one of them, so what have you guys been hitting with these assembly/pack dates???

Ok, I think the seller just didn't look carefully, because I found out the 3 in the Batch# means it's a costa rica...

BUT, I still would like to know what people with 3/20/02 pack dates (exactly that date) have gotten their p4's to.... speed and volts please...

I would like to know the same for anyone with 4/14/02 pack dates as well...

Generally, the newer the chip, the more likely it will overclock better, but I have heard some horror stories about the 4/04/02 pack date... Anyway, this is just out of curiousity as I will do my own testing as soon as I get the new chip and new motherboard....

hmm, seems this 3/20/02 pack date will only do about 2.56ghz max... still good... but not quite 2.6-2.7 that i want.. =) good enuff for now...

what voltage an board are you using to get 2.56. i got 1.775 voltage on a bd7 raid and got 2.633 with 1.85 volts. I might just knock it back due to it being .75 volts lower.

Tr0LL · 05-25-02, 10:56 AM

for 2.56ghz it takes teh full 1.85 bios volt settings however, mbm and bios only reports 1.78v at max...

never seen it go higher according to the high/low page on mbm5

i put it at 1.8 volts with 160 fsb and will prolly stay with this until i get some watercooling action going on.

So what can i expect from 18/04/2002 :"P For now i`m running well at 2652 Mhz :PP stable 49C max - full load with titan cooler at 1.7V
