Been awhile since I posted here..last time I posted here I was posting the results of my AMD XP mobile 2600+... After that I wanted to start on a P4 overclock project.
After trying to decide which P4 to get..i ended up going with the P4 3.0C.. I figured at worst if it didnt overclock well at least is was 3.0Ghz
So finally had some time today to do some testing and I was surprised by the results. Was able to hit 3.4 with stock voltage of 1.48v and then took it up more to 3.6 at 1.52 and then hit 3.7 at 1.55v. Ran Prime95 for a couple of hours and was stable..
Here are some the benchamrks I ran:
Now I'm curious to see if i can take this chip to 4Ghz, but i wont probably try that til i get a water cooling system in this unit. Not sure if the aircooling would be enough.
Any comments on fine tunning this processor??? Seems like my memory scores might be low, not sure... I want to get every point out of it at its current speed.
