2.4B - Alive and Kickin'

[hallowen]

Been a while since I posted,

Thought I'd see if anyone is doin' good with the old "B" Chips!

Got a pretty good OC with my Sys, but hopefully that will All Change when I Hook it up to my new Vapochill Extreme Edition that I'm waiting for to arrive(YES,it was EXPENSIVE!).

Anyone care to advise me on whether I should buy a 3.06/533, or go COMPLETELY BANNANAS:banana: and buy a new IC7-Max3 and either a 3.0C,3.0E, or anything else?

Proud to be Back....:D

The IC7-MAX3 has some issues with dividers IIRC. The P4C800 is probably the best board right now if you do a simple vdimm and droop mod.

[Clevor]

The 3.06B has a real good core, the very best of the old 'B' CPUs you can imagine. They are best on the old RDRAM boards because they max out around 152-156 fsb at 4x for 3.5-3.6 gig and humongous bandwidth (at the time). I have one on my P4T533-R gaming rig doing 154 fsb on air, or 3.54 gig. Doesn't need more than 1.55 VCORE. Same core in those legendary SL6RZ 2.40Cs would be doing 197 fsb! I don't think anybody was doing that back then at 1.55 volts, 3D benchable. Intel IS really testing these cores before they bin them. Mine has a pack date of mid-2003.

Of course the 3.0C -WUs will do 3.6 gig pretty easy on air. Not so for the 2.60-2.80Cs though.

With my 2.4B right now, I'm runnin' it at 179FSB/Ram at 224 with a 4:5 divider, and that's with the 18X on this chip.

If I go with the 3.06 and a vapochill,even with the IT7, it COULD get very Interesting,don,t you Think?

[skate2snow]

If you whant a High FSB chip, low divider take the 2.4C M0, you should do do AT LEAST 3.6(1200FSB) or higher(3.8-4.2GHz) w/ that VAPO EE.Most of the new 3.0C are doing 4GHz on air!

And talk me about the VAPO EE, its the first time I see that.

[Clevor]

You will get much (waay) better benches with that Vapochill on a 3.0C, but you need to upgrade the motherboard. You could salvage your ram though.

[Soulburner]

I would get a good stepping 2.4b instead (D1 or later).

If you can make 200fsb, that's 1:1 at 3600mhz.

You will need an 865/875 board though to reach those high FSB's.

The VapoChill Extreme Edition Has R404 instaed of R134,so it gets COLDER than the Standard(SE),or the Premium(PE) Models.

It also has a revision 2 Chill Controller so you can adjust the settings In Windows without having to shut your system down,and an additional Fan for compressor cooling ,i.e., Colder Temps=Higher Compressor Temps.

If you look in the Xtreme System Reviews, Oppainter has an article that tells all!

[Clevor]

How does it compare to a MachII?

[hallowen]

I don't really know how the Vapo EE compares to a Prommy or other brands since this is the First one I am going to use, but since Oppainter gave it Excellent Reviews in his article, I Just HAD to Have It!

Besides Cooling Good, The Black Case is Awesome!

BTW,

Did anyone buy that .09(Prescott core) 2.4A/533/1Mb Cache from NEWEGG?

Would like to know more about that ......maybe a good candidate for the Vapochill.

waiting for ppl to try it :toast: I might get one, but it would be on air http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30490 heres the thread

Just to add my 2.4b results to the thread...

SL6DV (C1)
Max stable OC is 195MHz fsb 3.53GHz on my BH7 (1:1). This seems to be the chip's ceiling, because no matter how much voltage I throw at it, it wont go any higher. I guess it could be the board, but I have no way of testing that.

Been running at 175MHz (3.15GHz) 4:5 for months, and has kept my sickness at bay throughout the 2.4C craze...which was VERY tempting :D

[lutjens]

That's an excellent overclock for a C1 core Gogeta. I had a couple of 3.06's (both C1's) and neither would get to that speed (although the second one did get to 3.45GHz).

IC7 Rev. 1.1
2.4B SL6RZ Malaysia Week 52
4x256MB assorted DIMMs
bong cooling + ice water @ >33C

[Dominos]

I have a 2.4B SL6RZ too :p Mine only did 3.1 but at 1.575v... I tried in a mates rigg and his 2.4C stops at 3.1 too and that att stock volts? I think it's a bad MB but I'm only using AMD atm so I'm not really in to "the way of P4" yet ;)

My tip would be a 3.0C and a P4C800 or P4P800. The Max-3 seems to have alot of small issues making it a pain in the ass!
