3.2 Northwood

[funkyoneboy]

hi guys i got myself a 478 3.2 northwood.. Running on my Abit IC7 how far do they clock to??

ive clocked it to 3.4 at the mo just seein g how it goes?

regards

All depends on the chip and how well your cooling solution works. The Northwoods are typically very good OCers (I had a 2.4GHz northie that would do 3.8 with relative ease). You should see 3.6GHz, perhaps a little more, with a reasonable vcore increase.

My 3.2 Northwood benches at 3550 with ease, never tried any higher.
Should be able to do 3.6 at least if you keep it cool.

On the other hand, I have two 2.4 northies here that won't go above 3.0, no matter what the voltage, although they are stable at 3.0...Memory was kingston hyperX DDR500, but didn't even get close to maxing it out...Cooling was Zalman 7700.

Yeah, but be careful, I had a 3.0 northie that I took to 3.2 and it crashed and from then on it would not boot at one herz higher than 3.05 lol...I just had the worst luck with them....

I have a 3.0C Northwood in my HTPC. It'll do 3.75 gig with good cooling and a modest voltage increase.
