Guest duir66 Posted November 14, 2002 Report Share Posted November 14, 2002 Just wanted to share..... Got my Duron 650MHz O'cd to 900MHz on Abit KT7A w256MB Ram running ML9 & SETI@Home for 36 hours straight. Core Voltage = 1.8v I/O Voltage = 3.5v Core Temp = 44C/111F Cooled with oversized CoolerMaster Aluminum Heatsink and 60mm/low profile fan & Arctic Silver III. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Very cool. Hopefully it stays very cool. :) Was this a simple BIOS configuration, or did you have to modify the chip at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest duir66 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 No pencil marks here. All I did was play with the settings in the BIOS until it worked like I wanted. It started to boot into the OS @ 950 but just couldn't do it. Seems I am pushing the chip to it's limits though. It locked up on shutdown just now. (Testing some SDRAMs in it). Nevertheless, I tried overclocking it a while back with Windows on it and the best I could get it to truly stabilize at was 750. Mark another one up for Linux.

Guest duir66 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 Testing a guy's 2 256MB sticks, slapped 32 of my own in. = ~548MB SDRAM.... (I might just have to order him some more... lol) But it will NOT run Mozilla for any reason whatsoever with this ram in it, and I had to restart it a few times (even before the extra 32mb).

Guest duir66 Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Finally lowered Duron 650 from 900MHz to 850MHz. Solid as a rock now. On another note, I oc'd my PIV from 2.53 to 2.85GHz. Posted at 3GHz but wouldn't boot up. FSB was 533, now 600. DDR 2100 went down to PC 1600 though. Using Epox 4g4m+/1GB ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
