    Old Skool socket 7

    Last night I tried to fit my modded mach2 on the Asus P5A socket7 motherboard. The board doesn't have any socket holes, so I had to improvise a bit :p

    This is why I like old school system to the max: I managed to run my k6/2 500MHz. to 6x120MHz, which is the absolute maximum of the board.

    Haha ... you're so funny

    Actually, I couldn't run pi at 720Mhz, but maybe I can run at 650+.

    If you're really interested, this is how a k6/2 performs:

    great, finally you've also benched with a phase change cooling


    what was you max winodws-bootable clock?

    looks like, i've to strike back.

    120*6 = 720Mhz., the max of my motherboard

    I currently trying to get the max bench freq. up to 689mhz, but it's really hard to keep it stable for 10 minutes (PiFast)

    yeah, i know what you're talking about

    unfortunately i have no chance against your tweaking skills in super pi.
    my cpu is faster (more mhz, more l2-cache), but still a lot slower.

    Superpi is easy to tweak, pifast on the other hand ...

    Your 622s is a hard nut to crack. At the same speeds + tweaks I only managed to get 634s. I bet the l2 does mather a lot when it comes to pifast benching .

    The problem is that I really need to bench at 650+ Mhz. to beat that score, but the system is not at all stable at those speeds. I've tried 115*6, 110*6 and 120*5.5 and nothing works stable 'till the end of the bench.

    By the way, do you have problems too when you up the voltage up to 3.2v? 2.9-3.0v seems to be the sweet spot for stability/performance.

    I fell down from my chair.I like it oooh i want one of those phase change...but... Anyway its cool!Also good improvisation.This should be called HDD Phase Clipper

    yes, some of my cpus don't even boot with more than 2,9V. Looks like the cpus can't handle that voltage.
    very strange.

    maybe next week i'm gonna set my sockel7 rig for some benching up again.
    now i must bench my main-system a little bit

    I hope you do. The only WR you have left is the pifast WR

    32M is weird, I have never been able to run it. Even on stock speeds, the system freezes

    Buy a few more and do handpick
    Maybe you'll squeeze 720Mhz at benchmarks stable.
    This is with 6x83FSB or 5x100 by default?
    Or search for K6-III with 256KB cache and 180nm, that will break a wall.
    By the way, your spi score is incredibly slow, my PII 366Mhz laptop can do spi1m about 50sec faster.

    The only chip I have left is a K6-2 350Mhz, but I'll have to search for it

    Default 5*100

    The k6/2 is indeed very slow, I have tested the pentium II's myself and I'm pretty sure that the k6/2 will never touch a PII when it comes to SPi performance. The time isn't slow because of the bad OS, it's because the chip itself is incredibly slow

    The lack of (onchip) L2 cache kills SuperPi performance indeed. The K6-2+/3+ are definitely better.

    Blah, checked prices on ebay for K6-III. For that price you can buy nF2 motherboard and barton. Sheesh.

    If your mobo is hitting the limits you might want to change the 14MHz crystal. Try 15MHz instead (and hope for your HD's that they not loose any data)

    Also check for any voltmod for you NB.
    What memory's are being used?

    nice one
    you should get a K6-2+ or K6-3+ (with 6x mulitplier)
    and try to break fsb 150 (maybe @ ln2 )
    6*150 =900mhz the fastest socket7 processor

    150Mhz. will be very dificult as I'm bios limited to 120Mhz.

    The 6x multiplier is already okay
