But I could do 2.9 just for the benching couldnt I? It would be ok?Quote:

Macci is probably cooling his memory some way.. But I doubt with a prommie :D :D
Probably a nice tornado blowing over the ramsinks on his memory to keep it cool... Since at 2.9v they heatup rather nicely :D
As long as your RAM has heatspreaders (which, IIRC, it does), you'll be absolutely fine.Quote:

i raised my AGP frequency to 73 from 72 and gained one point. i didn't bother submitting, so it looks like i'm done for tonight. hopefully i'll find something new tomorrow.
edit: i run 2.9 vdimm when benching and i don't even have heatspreaders.
Yes it does, if memory could be sex, hyper x would be it. Those blue heat spreaders are sexy! :DQuote:

I dunno, my Corsair looks pretty damn fine too. :)Quote:

Mushkin also has time nice colours. :eek:
Alright so 2-3-3-6, 2.9 vdimm and try to OC the core a bit more huh? Think I could reach 275 fsb?Quote:

Well, I'm no soothsayer, but yes, I do think so. :)Quote:

I daresay you might even get further, but YOU HAVE TO RAISE YOUR VCORE! :p :) 1.6 is a good round number...
Alright 1.6 vcore (should I back down to 1.5 after i finish OC'ing or is 1.6 ok to keep 24/7 with my cooling?) 2.9 vdimm with 2-3-3-6 timings. Wish me luck!Quote:

Awww dude, no wonder you couldn't o/c the CPU any more. 260MHz FSB at 1.5V is very good. Going to say 1.6V should get you to 275 or 280MHz FSB.:D
Good luck!
2.9v is fine for a case that has good air movement for 24/7 use as long as it has some sort of heatsink... After benchmarking with my Corsair at 2.8v or 2.9v the heatsinks are very warm...
I dont know if that would allow you to push the FSB harder since you did have it at 3:2 and if it couldnt do 3:2 then it wont go higher if you just add some more vdimm :D
BUT.. Adding vcore can help!! I would keep it at or around 1.650v (depending on the overvoltage of the board) Maybe even 1.70v.. I did push 1.85v into my 2.4c before and it worked... But i didnt gain anything from it...
If I were you, I'd back down, but that's only because I'm extremely paranoid. :) Most OCers, however, run their P4's 24/7 at about 1.55-1.65, so I imagine 1.6 should be fine (it definately won't result in SNDS).Quote:

Personally, I'd try for 2-2-2-5, but that's just me and my 3200LL. :cool: :D
Hope that your next reply is from a 275FSB machine! :)
Well my tornado is RIGHT beside the memory and the exhaust air is blowing on the memory, and it is still cool air. So hopefully that helps, I have 2 exhaust fans and 2 3 input fans.Quote:

Soooo... did extra vcore help?
Havent gone for it yet. Talking on msn! hehe sorry, I will in a bit though so keep your shirt on, and check back in a bit!
