Peltec? T-B 750@950

[Guest]

OK, here's a thought. Maybe Tom could add this to his review if he happen to go through this message.

Got an Athlon TB 750 already OC to 950mhz.
9.5x100 on 1.88v <--99.8% stable. (will not post higher in Windows)
CPU@950 on a Hedgehog with Delta 38CFM HSF.

Currently avg. Temp at 33C
Max LOAD High at 41C.
Now those Temp are LOW for Passive Cooling. and I'm able to hit 950mhz.

Here the question, IF i add a TEC kit and get the Temp down to say 10C <--LOAD.
CAN I expect any higher clock speed on my CPU?? or is 950mhz the upper limit of my CPU and will not post anyhigher no-matter how low I can get the CPU temp to be.

There are a few things you must check, first.
Look if the clock multiplier of your motherboard allows you to set higher settings than 950. If it does, check out if you can still raise CPU voltage a lot. If you can, then there's no real problem. Keep the CPU cool, and you can still raise it.

I have an ABIT KT7 which is able to clock the multiplier to 12.5 and the max. bios setting is 1.85 <--which I'm running. but I can modify the board to put out 2v on the CPU core. so I'm thinking YESS I'll get higher CLOCK most definately IF i modify the board to take on 2v.

BUT wait, will i see any speed improvement on the CPU IF i added a Peltier and get the TEMP down.<-- Say I already MOD my board to run at 2v and getting say 1050MHZ(reasonable number) stable at maybe 38C avg and 48C LOAD. IF i shell out $50 on a Peltier, drop the Temp to about say 15C can i get hit an extreme speed to where the the CPU will be at 30C with the TEC. which probably something like a 1200mhz -1300mhz or above????

I guess my real question is, IS there an actual limit on these chip or are the chip LIMIT base on how well you are able cool it and how much Voltage you feed the sucker.

if all youve gotten is 950 outta that at 1.88v, i would have to say that you have a "green" 750. if so, the most you can reasonably expect is about 1ghz. which is about the limit for aluminum chips.

the "green" cpu's are aluminum, i have 2 "blue"(copper) 750's and they run 1200&1250. both will do 1100 at 1.85v and the rest i got with the voltage mod.

but good luck

hey wana sell me the 750?? hehehe, actually it's oke, don't really wana spend any kind of money anymore. but 950-1100 without mod, is a good jump. nahhhhh but nice though, I'll just wait around for the next generation batch to come around before my next upgrade.

I think I'll just settle with 950, heheehe, and when i'm about to run out of my 20gig space, try RAID. hehehe, i think raid will improve the performance alot, since HD are probably one of the most bottleneck in any system.

yeah....the HD manufacturers are milking everything they can, more so than the rest of the industry. we should have already had 10,000 rpm IDE drives. with the density of the platters up to 20gigs on a single platter, we should have phenominal HD speed. but alas, they drag their feet so that most everyone buys the current fastest HD before the step it up ever so slightly.
