my P4 is back to live

[LandShark]

after my 1.6a decided to take a looooooooong sleep b/c of the 1.775v long term shock! i have a complete P4 rig minus CPU sitting under my desk for a whole month!

yesterday i finally go (hand) pick up a 1.8a to put in it. wow! running 2.7G right out the box with memory (only) at 4:5, 187.5MHz (2700ish Sandra memroy score........only). too bad, it just don't wanna go any higher even w/ more v.core (but didn't really play w/ it tho 'cos i'll NEED it go working, oh, crunching ). but 900Mhz o/c, i'm happy w/ it already.

after a full day crunching w/out a crash, i decided my next step is to up the memory speed. tonight, i just "try" to set the memory ratio to 4:6 and see. WOW! boot right into windows and start crunching @ 225MHz memory speed!! Sandra memory score of 3100+!! i'm a happy man!!!

now, i will have to wait and see if it's still crunching when i woke up 2morrow then..........(crossing my fingers...)

Nice work man, what mem you got in there to get to 450DDR ?

I have Corsair PC3200 CAS2 and can only get to 217.5Mhz be nice to know what to go for next time

Thats a nice O/C LS...

thinking about a new setup myself... the AXIA 1.0 @ 1.424 just dosnt cut it these days....

ehhh... I remember when 1.4 was just a pipe dream... an I was happy with my P1 200MMX at 225..

Awsome stuff man. Is your 1.8a the SL68Q? Those are sweet. Alot of them hit 2.7 @ default voltage.

Glack!

i'm using Muskin PC3000. well, bad news, it doesn't seem stable at 225MHz . got SETI client error from windows.... but it didn't crash nor bsod tho..... might need more juice....

it's a SL63x. after i've read this thread: http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118544 not as good as those guys 2.8G+, but 900MHz o/c is good enough for me

least your crunchen right?

The fact that it can crunch at all doesn't really mean much - it could be tearing those WUs apart, writing nothing but gibberish for results. Be sure to stress test the thing, with Prim95 or UT or something, before crunching and sending in bad results. :S
