My chip was unlocked- but it won't post to 133!!

A peltier is a backwords thermocouple. two differant metals stuck together, a temp differance produces a voltage and can be used to tell temp, and a voltage produces a temp diff. making one side hot the other cold. it sorta sucks the heat off the cpu.

For an update to all those who helped make my computer such a kick ass machine...10x+12(cpu plus)=145FSB

I can run stable at 1450! I posted the highest scores at www.madonion.com for the geforce1 ddr chipset, 9690 3dmarks!

I JUST HAD to go higher though so I bought a Hurcules geforce2 gts pro. Same settings posted a 11,622! Im ranked 17th for ALL VC's (only 5 different people though), and seventh for the geforce pro (with only 3 who were in the other field also are higher)!!!!!

My fop38 keeps it smooth at about 46-48 after benching and playing Q3 for an hour. I used regular white grease but have ordered arctic silver2 to replace it with to see if I can get more out of it. To make the guy who wrote me with 15 fans in his case jealous... I HAVE ONE, and it's just an exaust PCI card next to my VC! I have "modified" my case for retrofitting with a 80mm fan thats going to mount on the side wall and blow straight onto my RAM and processor- it will hit the back side of my VC also. Sound good?

I have a OSD micron cas3 256 stick which benches at 615/675(sandra), which seems not too shabby compared to what I have seen even with DDR.

Would I really benefit from CAS2 muskin? I am overclocking the ram I have at 145 but I crash at 146FSB. The mushkin rev. 3 is supposedly rated at 150mhz, but will the VC and drives handle that speed also? That would in effect get me to 10x +17/133 =150mhzFSB. I know CAS2 is supposed to be faster so that alone I'm assuming will get me to 12,000 3Dmarks which is my goal, of course to have the most bad-ass system out there (for the moment). The other wuestion is that mushkin only sells rev.3 ram in 128sticks so I should get two. BUT- is two sticks slower than one 256? Do I need 256, or is one rev 3 going to better my scores or make them go down from the 256 scores?

Those sandra scores...Left P4 in my dust for all but mem!
4049/2004 CPU BM
8147/9892 MMX
615/675 Mem
1.85V

BTW- playing Q3 with all of the highest settings is F'in MINDBLOWING, I wish you all could see the frames blaze by in high-rez! Those with fast systems can back me on this!!

Thanks again to helping my quest to have one of the fastest MO FO air cooled machines on the planet!!

Any thoughts apprecaiated in helping me go to bed before 3AM!

All I can suggest now that your hitting an FSB barrier is to up your io voltage. This should help your mem stability and thus get you higher FSB!! Pretty cool huh? Hope it helps, Laterz.

P.S. Lucky bastard 😉

Hey, I forgot to mention... That computer shop that I bought the unlocked chip, my honey hole, has TWO more 1.2 gigs factory MISSED (Unlocked). They sell for $330(+.06% MI sales tax) which I'll admit is higher than an internet price but I love their return policy- 7 days full refund, 30 days exchange. If somebody REALLY wants one so they don't have to dick w/ unlocking, and the fact that I think these may overclock better than doing it yourself as I can attest (unless mine is a freak), I could get it until the 2 are gone. Private message me for details.

Thanks, but what's this? I've had people tell me the I/o doesnt mean [-peep-]. It's at 3.5V and my core is at 8.5. What does the I/O do and what are the consequences? I don't want smoke here!

Dude I can't wait until I get enough money to get a new vid card and everything... not that what i have now is bad. Gf2 GTS and TBird 1.2GHz.. But I am going to KICK YOUR ASS! Maybe not buy hey I can dream LOL!
