P4 2.4B@3.6GHz!!! New personal record

[Gogeta]

FINALLY got my watercooling setup completed last night, and had just enough time to do some overclocking before I passed out...
The max speed my 2.4b SL6DV would POST at is 3.6GHz, 200MHz fsb at 1.7v. At this speed, windows usually freezes up right after login. I think my temps are holding me back :(
I also got to test my new Mushkin PC3500 Level II for the first time, and was able to post at DDR500 2.5-7-3-3 3.04v. Windows was by no means stable though. I'm hoping I'll be able to run a few benches at DDR500 if I crank up the Vdimm to 3.2v, but I'll need to install a modded BIOS and do the +3.3v sense wire mod on my PSU. Wasn't able to stay awake long enough to find its speed ceiling at 2-5-2-2.

Temps at 1.5v are 31 idle, 37 load. 1.7v temps are 35 idle, 41 load.

I'll do some more extensive testing tonight, including overclocking the gpu. Will post some pics/screenies too.
:D

outstanding :toast: keep pushin it, man!

[saaya]

good temps! i get around the same with my xp@2.3ghz and 2.15v (140W:eek: )

can you post pics? :D

[althes]

that is a sweet oc. congrats.pics:D

[Sidebinder]

Very nice, 1200Mhz oc. :toast: Any benches to come? Good luck with your mushkin

[Gogeta]

I'm at work right now, but I'm going to do some more OCing and benching + pics when I get home around 5 tonight (CST).

Funny thing happened to me last night, I hadn't turned on my computer in so long, that I forgot my Windows login password! I eventually remembered around 3am...

It was wayyyy too late last night to start benching when I had work this morning :rolleyes:

Thanks everybody :D

[Mrstickinit]

Excellent job. Wish I could afford some new hardware and do the same :(

[Maxvla]

very nice oc :D

just to push you a bit more... here's my SL6RZ 2.4b ;)

comeon! i know you can do it :D

[Gogeta]

Oh mah goodness, nice OC! I'd be so happy if my SL6DV can run 3.6GHz and pass Prime...

What memory was that system using? Cooling?

[Soulburner]

You guys are making my 2.4b B0 look really bad...

Has trouble crashing at 2700mhz :stick:

that was on water. http://www.maxvla.com/host/water.jpg

however with just a slk900 it was stable at 3618mhz :)

[Gogeta]

You got yourself a heck of a cpu there...
I'm pretty sure the SL6RZ stepping 2.4b's tend to OC better than the rest...I wonder how the new D1 stepping 2.4b cpus scale?

I'm hoping when I install my rad box with a second heatercore and a more powerful pump, my temps will drop enough to make 3.6GHz stable.

Was that screenshot taken at DDR507 (4:5), or DDR406 (1:1)?

[Gogeta]

Went home over lunch to get some pics for you guys :D

I've got a SL6RZ lying here... maybe I should hurry to get someone to test it :D I'ts a Philippine so I don't expect too much out of it but atleast 3ghz should be reachable :D

Nico OC btw, kepp pushingand we might se some 210-215 FSB :D

[DaGooch]

I have noticed that there are some nice "B" series chips out there that clock well. Here is one of my daily rigs on air at 1.625V:

[Gogeta]

Nice OC, DaGooch. First time I've ever seen a 200MHz fsb 2.26b :D

[DaGooch]

Temperatures are not that bad either :)

[sandman]

What cooling is that with?

Maxvla, nice watercolour, what block is that?
Gogeta, where is your videocard :confused:
ps your water needs more colour! :D
gooch, did you ever try it under a prommie?

[sandman]

Max had a Tc-4 iirc.

hehe, I took that pic a few days ago when I was still leak testing the gpu block. As far as water color goes, thats the tone it became after a 1:20 mix of water wetter. I was thinking of adding some red food coloring or something like that...
I'll post a pic of the system with everything installed later tonight...actually, in about 2-3 hours :D

This was at ~34C, wonder what it could do in a Prommie! :)

it was 1:1, my ram can't do 254mhz ;) i've got some in the mail that will but.. lol that screeny was taken like 6 months ago.

don't be too sure ;)

i had a sl6rz that couldn't even do 3ghz stable.. even under water :(

my high clocker was pretty much a golden chip.

pretty much all the chips labeled as such were superb overclockers. nothing else could touch it on a consistent basis.

sandman's right. its a Dtek TC-4, great block, highly underrated.

like that red? its actually UV reactive too, but it turns orange under UV :(

i don't use watercooling anymore so its long gone. in fact everything in that picture except the hd and soundcard and 400w sparkle are long gone.

[Gogeta]

I did some extensive testing with my new watercooling tonight...I opened a window in my bedroom and had idle temps of 18c at 1.7v. :D
Turns out my Mushkin Level II PC3500 kinda sucks. Max stable speed I could get was DDR450 2.5-7-3-3@3.04v. You guys think this is weird as well? Even if it was BH6 I'd expect it to do better than that. I'm wondering if I should RMA, or do some more testing with higher voltage. But it seems like I've seen a lot of problems with this last batch of Mushkin Level II.

I'm also pretty sure my cpu has a speed ceiling of 195MHz fsb or 3510MHz. It will post all the way up to 200MHz, but wont pass windows login even when I throw 1.78v at it. I was able to complete one run of 3DM2001SE at 195fsb 1:1 and scored about 17.4K with the video card at stock...about 1000 points better than my record at 3GHz 4:5 with an OC'd card. I haven't had the chance to test the gpu OC yet, but am hoping it will get me to at least 19k.

For 24/7 use, I'm going to run it at 3.1Ghz 1.55v, 1GB DDR433 2-5-2-2 3v. Should give me some nice frame rates in UT2004 :banana:
