Joined 2Ghz club today!

I know it's not much for some of you guys, seeing how you're up to 2.4-2.7 ghz, but I achieved 2Ghz today with a XP 2100 AGOIA core.

Running Prime 95 to test for stability, so far so good after about 1 hour. I designed a new watercooling tower for my system.

BTW...on air with an AX7 and 40cfm fan, the chip was good to 1800@1.85v. Now at 2Ghz@2.1v.

Nice. That's still a great overclock for a Palomino.

[Scyphe]

Yeah, really nice. I can't get my 2000+ above 1.75Mhz without getting errors in Prime95 after some time (aircooled).

I can even boot at 1.85Mhz (@2.20V) but it's not stable at all. Need watercooling, or a t-bred cpu for better clocking. ;)

[Galifrey]

Nice clock, well done

:toast:

[sysfailur]

What kind of temps?

[DeBastaard]

I Wish my xp1700+ would do 2ghz :'(

[TodB]

May I ask what happened with the other 128k of your CPUs L2 cache? :confused: :)

[X Men SS]

I joined the 2GHz club too (w/ full L2 cache ;)) ...
But it's not stable for 3DMark :( ...

[freeloader]

Well I guess it's not quite 100% stable. Prime 95 gives up at about 2 hours of testing. I'm going to increase the voltage upto 2.2 and retest.

Sysfailur...I get about 40 deg C with ambient temperatures of 25 deg C.

I didn't even notice the loss of 128K of my L2 cache. Although I know this is a problem. Did anyone ever find out why this happens or is it just something that's beyond our control?

Prime95 for 2 hours, that's not BAD! Call it 99.5% stable hehe...

I'm still testing right now. Just wanted to let everyone know that when I increased my Vcore to 2.2V my full L2 cache came back. Go figure...

[SupaMan]

heh keep going, u have a decent batch and can probably get 2.1, maybe 2.2. My 1500+ crappy batch is 335MHz over stock, 1.85V. u sure u need 2.1V for that? make sure u try lower ones.
