Well, I recently volt-modded the boards
, so that helps the cpu out a bit; but memory is usually running maxed out....MAN! I just tweaked a couple today and I forget! lol I'll do an edit after I check this one
.
But I run high voltages all the time, playing the odds -if MOST chips will last ten years, then the 2 years i cut off of mine doesn't bother me.....of course I could end up with one of the short-lived ones.....oh well.
Edit in a minute.
Kicked up the fsb while I was there
Chip- XP 1700+ (don't know which stepping is in here!)
fsb- 171
Multi- 10x
vcore- 2.1v (+.075 and volt mod)
vdimm- 3.2v
mem settings:
dram clock- 133
sdram cycle- 2
4 bank interleave
3
5
3
dram command rate 1t
Temps too: case 25c, cpu 35c (watercooled)
Thats this one- the other 1700 is ( I think!)
170 fsb, 10x, vcore 1.95v, vdimm 3.2v
mem settings:
sdram 2.5
2
5
2
dram command 2t
and gets better bandwidth in Sandra.
I have tried duplicating back and forth, but each one runs far better with unique settings..to the tune of about 100 mhz of overclock! So definetely mess around, just back up data: finding the optimal settings and OC for each one I have lost operating system countless times!!!
Post the results, and any ideas or possible improvements you can come up with!!!
I have two goals right now: Quest for 1.8ghz- STABLE and a Seti work unit average under 3 hours. I'm close on both, but not there yet.
