2.0 C1 stepping o/c to 3.26Ghz

[Fwiler]

Just thought I would report. I traded my old 2.0 for one that came out of a Dell box.

It's a Malay SL6GQ
1.7v on an Epox 4g4a+
water cooled with a maze 3. 33c idle 39c load

Dhrystone ALU 9308 MIPS
Whetstone FPU 1879/4280 MFLOPS

Integer 13103
Floating Point 16441

Not as impressive as that 1.8. But not bad non the less.

NICE. Dell is the shiz. LOL.

Nice O/C. Do you think thats the chip's max, or do you think something is holding you back?

I'm pretty sure my power supply is holding me back. I forgot what brand it is, but its only 300w.

The reason I think this, is because my voltages all read perfect at 3Ghz. After that they go down hill. I get 5.03 at 3Ghz, and 4.76 at 3.26Ghz.

Plus I can hear my fans adjust speed when I start apps!

You possibly might need to put your fans on powers cord not passing though or connected to your HDD.

Thats pretty funny though, it probably is the PSU holding it back. Thats pretty awsome.

The Hd and floppy share one power cord. Plus the fans don't do that at 3Ghz. Only when the cpu is being used, and the fans go back to normal speed when the cpu usage drops.

I've been recommended a 430w true power. What do you guys think?

I would like to get a pcp&c ps, but too much $$$

can you post some screenies for us?? nice oc btw.

I took a screenshot of my desktop with Sandra, wcpuid, and mbm, but its 267KB. How do I shrink it to fit 51K?

Make it a jpeg if you hadn't yet. You can also shrink jpegs while reducing quality though. Otherwise zip it into a zip file and give a link.

Can i have that chip??? Please????

If you have a deep case, you could try the PS I just started using on my AMD Dualie.
It's a Robaton 600W (although their 500W is probably as good with a different power distribution - more 12v and less 3.3v - 'pends on your needs).

It is the quietest PS I've ever (not) heard, but you should know it uses a streight through airflow design, not from the bottom.

It got a good review at LostCircuits.

The 600W is $80 at Outpost.com

They also have the 500W for $70.

Hope this helps!

nice OC....and I have the true 430w.....it's nice.

ur maze 3 setup should be the otherway around. the center should be inlet and the one closest tot eh edge should be outlet if im looking at the pics correctly...

Until you learn more about robaton and learn if the companies PSUs are good or not, i would not buy one. PSUs are a grey area. Most are rated falsly. Some putting out more, but most putting out way less.

Antec true powers are pretty good psus. Also, i suggest Sparkle's PSUs. I just bought the 400w and it is way more than i need. The 300w Sparkle has been tested at 390w, and the 350w has been tested at 450w.

Checkout the tomshardware roundup. http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/02q4/021021/index.html

The Conrad fsp350 and Verax fsp300 are relabeled sparkle PSUs. Sparkle PSUs are also some of the cheapest PSUs around. My 400w was $60 something at newegg. While the 350w is around $40.

Very nice! Is it Prime95 stable at that speed?

Nice. Get a new PS and see how high it can go.
