Where did you pickup your cpu from, can you get the d1 stepping which overclocks like a beauty. Too bad its not ht. Do you recomend any other beauties from intel that overclock smothly.

 

[ShakyJake]

Heh...should've read this thread first. Must be not too uncommon for these "lower-end" P4s to o/c so well.

 

[PiSan314159]

Aw, you're beating my computer.

 

[fhanderson]

No quiet up to 3.4, but less money for 3.1G. It might go a little higher but this motherboard gets errors like crazy with PC3200.

Refurb. Albatron 845PE Pro II Silver ED. $39
Refurb 2.0G P4 D1 stepping(copperbased $89
Intel heatsink, 155fsb, 1.575V)
512 MB Crucial PC 2700(had A long time) $70
running around 380, default settings
Total $198

Yeah luck had a big part in this deal.

 

[elec999]

Where are you guys getting the p4 d1 stepping from. Anyone willing to sell one.

 

[fhanderson]

I got mine from the newegg.com refurbished section. I don't know of any pattern to getting these P4 2G D1 steppings. I think it is just luck when you get one. The best gamble would be newegg.com or any other large seller who handle a large volume of processors. I originally bought the motherboard and processor to build a folding rig. I expected to get an overclock around 2.5G. Sometimes you get lucky and everything falls into place, even the old crucial PC2700 overclocked great for me. I don't know why but this computer really seems faster than you would expect with very good 3dmarks.

what I found is that red = 3.3v and the fushia colored (not red) is BOTH the 12v and 5v rail. srry if this has already been told.

 

[elec999]

Crazy overclocking. Can I ask a question please, I do see that D1 are good overclockers, but there are different steppings, theres is C1, M0, D0 are these also good overclockers. Also where can I find a cheap D1 to overclock.
Thanks

@ threadstarter

Looks like another hell of an 2.0A overclock. Mine would boot windows at 3.8Ghz (190FSB), could you try that? I had to pinmod it to 1.9v though. It was prime stabile at 3.6Ghz, 1.8v

 

[veryhumid]

dude awesome system! I will keep an eye out for that chip, too. that is a sweet OC. very good price for... folding computers...

 

[Graphicism]

Please take pictures when it explodes!

Cracking overclock, are they cut down 800fsb northwoods?or summat.
