P4 2000 C1

[cokehero]

hi,
i own one of these p4´s but it´s supposed to get on 3300 mhz stable but i just can´t push it that far!!

i only can go to 3000mhz at 1.525V!!

what to do????????????????

i am a bit pissed!

Gosh I'd kill for that chip. I've got a B0 2.0A and I'm lucky to get a couple hundred MHZ out of it now(it seems to have GNDS).

How stable is it 3 GHZ? What does the rest of your system look like? Temps?

ohh......of course my system!

MSI Neo-2 fisr/Epox 4GEA+
2x256mb Infineon @ max. 240 3.2V 2-2-2-6
FX5800 @ Ultra

everything is watercooled with a german watercooling system.
temps are around 34-36idle and max 40load!
and its rockstable!!


but i want mor than these 3ghz!!

[SPQQKY]

Why not bump the volts up a bit. Go up to 1.6, you should be okay with watercooling.

[cokehero]

i went to 1.65V
but no mhz!

[Peen]

id say it could be maxed!

[lalPOOO]

Have you tried other dividers on the ram?

[cokehero]

it can´t be maxed out cause i bought it from a friend and he managed to push it over 3ghz!!
i have tried all dividers!

[a5h]

well if he got it higher ...then either he is lying, or the chip has GNDS and will OC lower and lower.

[cokehero]

he didn´t lie because i saw the :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: running!!

but i bought a new system!!

so... who cares!!

but thanks anyway

uhh...yeah. :rolleyes:

Most C1s in the low clock range top out at 2.7-2.8. Yours actually did quite well.

Do not be pissed.

[Clevor]

Nope, I tried a half dozen of the 2.0As recently, and the C1s top 3.1 gig easily. One I have does 3.25 at 1.65 VCORE. The new D1 steps are even better, doing around 164-166 or 3.28-3.3 at 1.58-1.60 VCORE. I need them for my Intel 850 RDRAM boards which max out around 156 fsb. Needless to say, I got buffer so I can run them there at default voltage or less.

The CPUs are extremely consistent, with early C1s doing 3.0-3.1 gig, the later ones 3.2 and the D1s close to 3.3. Haven't seen a dud yet. This is on air with an Alpha8942. The D1s I have are made in China.

3.25 gig is a 62.5% overclock, or equivalent to a 2.40C doing 3.9 gig or a 3.0C doing 4.8 gig!
