LOL....looks like this cpu's got a little competition then. I better get as many runs in as I can before I have to return the setup to NJKID32 :p:Quote:

This is silent Air using an Si-120 and 1400 RPM 120 fan.
Ram is Gskill HZ 6400 4,5,4,12
Unmodded board.
Little something from the UK.
Boardy and Thickbrits T2600 on stock air with no mods at all!!
Enjoy, theres more to come!
Boardy
Well, I can confidently state that the Aopen motherboards are some of the biggest pieces of garbage I've ever used. The voltages on the board fluctuate like crazy, the overclocking is erratic, and there are still quite a few bugs that weren't worked out before production. It's just too bad that this gem of a cpu is stuck on such a POS mobo :mad: This particular Yonah DOES NOT appear to have a FSB limit.....

Nice one you got there stephen.
The only place that thing is going is to Arizona:)
Hehe nice to see new results still coming :toast:
I gave up my yonah, I hate FSB wall. Conroes do 400 easily, no stress now :)
What does the "ES" stand for? Engineering Sample?
Indeed.

Is there any difference in an ES from a normal chip? Run the same? Worth buying an ES instead?Quote:

Wasn't really sure what I was doing being an Intel noob so I just raised
voltages and fsb for this first time. (13x231 = 3005Mhz)
Ram timings are stock and a fresh install of
untweaked XP. Used the stock AOpen heatsink that came with the board. Hot
summer weather here didn't help, I think I could use a better heatsink.
Once I figure out how all this works I'll stick it under the mousepot... haha by
then everyone will be on Conroe ;).

LOL....ocing Intel cpu's isn't what I'd call "brain-surgery". There aren't the dozens of memory timings to figure out along with additional mobo settings, OS tweaks and other little nuances which give AMD clocking it's personality. Seems there's only really a couple of things to know with Intel.........Quote:

In all honesty, if the cpu wasn't able to put up some nice benchmarks, I'd be pulling my hair out either from frustration with this POS Aopen board or boredom from "point-and-click" overclocking :D
I hear you Stephen... when I first booted into the AOpen bios I was like... "that's it?? where are all the settings??" I think I do need better cooling. Gautam had this cpu up to 250mhz on air and 280 under DI... I was having trouble going above 235 but the cpu temps were at 50C in the bios... either a crap mount or I really just need a better cooler... :)Quote:

With AMD, you get a lowered HTT the colder you get, but with Intel, you get a way higher FSB once you lower temps.Quote:

Actually just noticed the part about your temps. That'd be the root of the problem. I was quite literally in the low 20's on air, even with 1.5v.
The board has given me many reasons to pull my hair out despite the nice benchies.
Well, I have to say the VCCA mod may not be for everyone ;) I did the mod to the board and tried up to 2.3V vcca only to find that the cpu actually would go HIGHER @ default vcca. With the mod on, I had troubles even clocking above 280fsb. After removing the mod, BENCHING @ 280+FSB was accomplished. Of course there's times which I'm bewildered why the system basically would randomly reboot itself @ speeds which I can do on air :wth:Quote:

Yeah I figured it's the temps for sure... there's no way I should be that high... I did put eletrical tape on the sides for a shim that may have been a tad high. I've got a tuniq tower on the way.. I'd like to fully test it on air before I head to DI.... and I'm sure with the right temps I should be able to go close to 3.1ghz :)Quote:

My step 8 Yonah was always stuck at 235.1MHz on air no matter what-- just a big frustration.
Seems getting a bit higher FSB each time under LN2:D

ES chips usually give you some play with the multiplier, in this case you can change it downwards.Quote:

Well it looks like I need way tighter ram... I made my goal of 250FSB on air... but
the elpida ram, while it clocks high isn't tight. If it was tighter I'm sure I could
have done sub 18.5s on air.
So if anyone has some good ram... ;)

The setup:
http://www.jpop.com/gocchin/yonahsetup.jpg
Very impressive, a lot higher than I bothered to try. Can't wait to see it on the mousepot. Btw, 250x13 is 3250, not 3200. ;)
You'd be surprised though, 2 gigs does perform real well clock for clock, even with looser timings. Tight timing 2 gig obviously is the ticket, if you can get your hands on it. You're performing exactly like a 1 gig set would at 4-3-2-4, a little bit better actually.
Hehehe...just imagine if Gocchin and I actually KNEW how to tweak Intel :p:Quote:
