Changing multiplers on a locked t'bird. WTF?

[masterofpuppets]

Look at the pic. I changed the multipler on my locked t'bird. I didnt oc it much for the screenie as I was using crap cooling. BTW, this is using a really old and obscure chipset. I will post a screenie of the mobo tab in a sec.

The old and obscure ALi chipset:

The later t/birds were ALL unlocked :)

[masterofpuppets]

AH! Never knew that!

Cheers to AMD for unlocking them :)

/me puts the Mach II on his T'Bird. HEHEHE!

That's something I would like to see! I had 3 1400 T-birds AYHJA, (or something like that) brave little mofos. My best was 1750MHz.

best i saw was a 1ghz tbird@1.9ghz on water :eek:


nice chipset mop, ali "magic" :D

I had one of those magic AXIA 1GHz Tbirds, did 1666Mhz with lot's of volts. I Tightened the WB so much that I cracked the Ceramic package, believe it or not core was intact :slobber:

Well it is old but not obscure...my old TBird system used the same board and chipset! The good ole A7A266. It has both SDRAM and DDR DIMM's on it. It's from back in the days of the transition to DDR.

Here's a review from the [H] when it came out. One of the first boards to offer both SDRAM and DDR support. Not a good OCing board though.

It was perfect for me at the time, I still had PC133 SDRAM, so I bought this board and then upgraded to DDR later.

Also, my 1.2B TBird was unlocked on this board too, default multi of 12, but I had it down at 10 with a 133 FSB; 1.33GHz. My first OC ever :)

[pik-ard v1.1]

my axia 1.2ghz does ok on mediocre air cooling.

1.48ghz 3dmark2k1 stable.
1.52ghz bootable + screeny

1.266mhz everyday, not sure if i could do 1.3ghz everyday, should try sometime ;)

its also unlocked from 9 - 12.5x multi

[saaya]

heh, i have a kt226a sd+ddr board here from asrock (asus) :D

does 160fsb+ without any mods, pci and agp speeds are holding me back. the performence is awesome, its as fast as an nf2 board at the same fsb! and it has lan and 5.1 sound onboard and i paid like 30$ for it :D

great for a folding rig!

[pik-ard v1.1]

hm, my kt133a seems to top out at 142fsb... any higher and the bios gets wierd..... (like erm..... "theres something wrong with the matrix feed" but in blue and gay, not black and green ;))

doubt its my ram, as ive gotten that to 152mhz (using a wierd fsb+33 "divider")

Been wondering lately how the A64 ALI board soyo makes would be? I don't care much for Soyo, so I won't be trying it..

[bh2k]

soyo boards magicaly blow up I hear.

[jmke]

Some TBird 1.4ghz models come factory unlocked!

[Highland3r]

Have a 1.33 t/bird that does 145 fsb on a kt133a mobo (max board will allow) perfectly stable, 1.45ghz on stock v's. The first bit of Oc'ing I ever did, and it got me hooked :D

[LorD_Kvadd]

Weren't those cpu's one of the hotest ones ever made?

My first OC board was an AOpen MK77M-V with a Via KM266 chipset. Board maxed out @ 160fsb(coulden't raise it higher in bios) aircooled with a 1600+.

Nice OC with those old cpu's :P think I'll take out my barton and play with my 1600+ and some silverpaint:D

[$0m#0n#]

Put it under prommy, I wanna see how high ll U get. :slobber:

[ns_ripper]

Masterofpuppets, can you do me a favour? :D

I need some screenshots:

thnx in advance.

all the rest is welcome as well :)

[saaya]

yeah id love to see it under a prommie!

not such a good clockers though it sems, my tbird 1333 does almost 1.6ghz on air.

yes one of the hottest cpus, lets say it was ahead of its time, performence and watt wise :D
i think 70-80W it was, sick numbers back in the days then, those tiny heatsinks of those days had problems keeping them under 60C :D

now were seeing 125W prescotts already :eek:

the ali a64 boards use the amd sb and they dont have a pci agp lock afaik.

[ns_ripper]

Thunderbird 1333 was 69.8W Thermal peak power
Thunderbird 1400 was 72.0W Thermal Peak Power

The modern Toasters of that time :cool:

Hrmm, my tbird smells very horrible. I cant test it cos my only availible mobo is shorted due to my crappy case screwing ARGHH. It deosnt look burnt so I am hoping for the best. Are there any signs to look out for to see if it has burnt? I have cleaned off my AS5 and I have inspected it and it has some dark green spillage looking material on the side of the core. But I have inspected my friends Duron and it looks the same. There is also a grease mark next to the core. Could it be a possible core leak/burnout? Can someone show me a pic of a working tbird?

Hmm, it doesnt look dead like some of those as the core hasnt leaked and meltedduron's duron boots fine after being repeatedly exposed to 75+C (true story, he burnt the writing on the slug into his heatsink). Also,the silver of the core hasnt leaked underneath the slug and there is no burns on the packaging or slug. The doesnt come off either which is a sign of a burnt core. YAY!

[saaya]

well bartons can handle 100C+ for a few seconds :D

heres a review of alis latests chipset for s939 if anybody cares, just sumbeled across it. sounds ok, but unless some manufacturer gives it mad volts and an agp/pci lock it wont be worth it i guess.

[pik-ard v1.1]

well... in all fairness about the heat... they DO come at a stock 1.75v....

mine runs above stock, at 1.575v so im not sure why stock voltage is so incredably high...
