All these crazy OCs on Stock HSF are just insane :P ... going out to grab me 1 this weekend ... Keep up the good work guys ... How abt sticking it with some good old W/C and more voltage loving to see where it maxes :D

Max is 9*278 so 2.5ghz with 1.63v and it's not stable ...
If someone wants to make happy a poor french guy before christmas , sell me your cpu ... :)
Got mine to do 2.8ghz. Didnt try any higher.
Hi all.
Was fiddling with a Winchester 3200+ and a Abit AV8 for the last few days.
Could not get it stable over 2200 mhz. Found and finally understood the LDT thing in BIOS but would still not make my system stable. Lowered RAM settings etc.
Big discovery: The AV8 did not like FAST WRITES enabled (read it somewher). So I disabled. WOW
100% stable at 2500 mhz now HT=4 , 3-4-4-8 1T (Corsair twinX 1024 pro)
Radeon 9700PRO. Vcore 1.65 Corsair Hydrocool200 EX
Hope this helps others. It sure helped me. Now going for 1:1 RAM/CPU ratio, RAM at 200
Oh.. Temps 51 idle / 55 heavy load (Prime95 12 hours)
damn , in aircooling ?Quote:

It's in the picture. Memory Voltage 2.85v
default volt of winchester is 1.4 right? A lot of ADs saying 3500+ runs at 1.5V
Hmz when I have mine on auto I dont get it on 1.4v I think. I use to get lower like 1.35 or something.
this is with a Abit AV8 & MachII its not stable (yet) but... :slobber:

I'm planning on buying a Winny too, but I'm doubting a bit between the 3200+ and 3500+, they seem to overclock about the same, but I've seen more 3500+ do high speeds and more 3200+ stay at lower speeds. And there's the multi difference. The price difference is about 60 Euro, so that's not very much, what would you guys recommend me?
great stuff camel! where did you buy your AV8? did it already have latest bios installed?
i...ummm...got it from....ummm...Tiger Direct
it had BIOS 15 which let me boot with the winnie...
then i flashed to 16....TicTac / Merlin / other BIOS modders: where are you...mod us up some Abit subZero BIOSs :toast:
PS that 3GHz is NOT stable....cant really get anything in the 2900's stable...ill be spending this weekend getting SOMETHING stable...(i hope)
I wanted to report my experiances and blunders overclocking a Winchester 3200.
I went with the MSI Neo2, and I love it. I am in Canada, so RAM is hard to find and not cheap! I went with 2* 512 of Kingmax Hard-core PC4000 . My current O/C - timings are as follows, all Prime stable.
FSB 250, mult * 10, mem @ 1:1, timings @ 2.5,3,3,10 (not bad for Kingmax!)
My CPU runs at 41 C idle and 53 Load using a Zalman 7000 Al-Cu.
The real fun started when my Antec Truepower 380 blew up. It came with my Antec Sonata case and while I knew overclocking might be iffy on it, it had 21A of 12 V so I thought it was worth a try. I thought it would at least gracefully shut down under too much load, however after about 12 hours of use it made a very loud popping sound and faded away. I replaced it with an Enermax Noisetaker 470 (hard to find OCZ here), and it's humming along fine.
I will go higher with the FSB, I'm just afraid of another PSU blow up :) PLus my 1M super pi is only 33s so who can complain? I just love this Winnie!

Same thing happened to my Antec 480 TPower. But mine killed itself after onli 5mins of use :P Wonder if its a problem with the Antecs and the MSI mobos
It turns out my Corsair 3200XL is not so good at high fsbs (not stable at even 250fsb no matter the timings :(). Currently running at 235fsb on 2-3-3-6 (295x8.5 with 166 mem divider)
What do u guys think ... should I trade those in for with a US$60 and upgrade to the 4400CPT models with 2.5-4-4-8 in hopes of running 1 to 1 at 290ish FSB.
Is it really worth the upgrade or am I better off sticking to tighter timings with a lower fsb??
Maybe go for some other TCCD chips....OCZ makes some nice ones as well...Newegg got em in 1gb dual channel package (2x512mb)

the XLs are TCCD ... they are the ones rated at 2-2-2-5.
Just that corsair doesnt use the brainpower PCBs
Damn .... I really want to run at 1:1 ... but as of right now. .. the speed is already blazing fast at 235fsb 2-3-3-6 :P
Then again .... the ram is really expensive here locally .. abt US$350 for the platinum 4400CPT TCCD Corsairs ... with tade of 3200XL and topup is US$60
Worth it?? :confused:
what other brands of RAM can you get your hands on? Maybe you could try one of those out, if one brand doesn't work well enough, move on. OCZ works well, Corsair, Patroit seems to be good as well...
