Got mine to 170 FSB with my 2,4B SL6EF but it was not really stable . I don't know if it's the board (most probable) or cpu limit or RDRAM (2x256 Samsung PC800 40ns @ 1020 but they reached
140x4x2=1120 with TH7 II soft FSB within XP not from BIOS so ? )
It was maxed @162 FSB with my faithfull 1,6 a (that i should have kept ).Running actually @167 FSB that give me the 3Ghz I wanted
but i had to raise voltage to 1,85v in BIOS (getting 1,72 v real) but I have more and more problem at start even with 2/5 divider (not fix) i have to reset 1 time out of 2 because even if bios load correctly ,when i chose XP (i have the 3 win installed 98 and 2000 ) it simply dont load or says a file is corrupt .
Was thinking to get IC7 in september(I dont use my PC in vacations!) but reading Intel road map made me hesitate as socket for prescott will change in second Q 2004 and I dont want to change mobo every year .
The first 2 Prescott will fit the IC7 though , but they will be obsolete in just 6 months .
So I might keep my TH7 II for 6-8 months more !
Cordially .
