LOL i wish i could have fun with it! i can't even boot now! i even reinstalled my 1900 and STILL it doesn't work. ARG!!! did i kill my board or something? the thing is, it still posts though, and it says it's my memory. i tried 3 sticks of ram and it says the same thing everytime. what's up with this man!?

looking at the high prospects of the 1600+ and overclockability, I am keen to upgrade in that path from my old T-bird 1.0Ghz O/C to 1.4Ghz. (10x140)

But the issue is that I can't get my T-Bird higher than this stable due to the PSU. I'm quite sure as the +5V rail is sitting at 4.81V at 1.4Ghz. Meaning that the PSU is the limiting factor, not the chip. Even at 1425, it drops to 4.75 which causes restarts.

So the question is how much could i expect from the 1600+ with the limited capability of my PSU because I don't intend to purchase a new unit. I know that this is not exact science but I just want an estimate. 1.0Ghz to 1.4Ghz is fairly good IMHO. So do you think that the PSU would severely hinder my attempts? um, how about 1.75Ghz from the 1600+? or am I stuck at 1.4Ghz since that's what my current chip is at.

Will the T-Bred "consume" less or more +5V?

Educate me.

Well aside from buying a new PSU which would run you maybe $75-80 for a real top end model. A Palomino running 1.75Ghz has a comparable power draw to a Tbird of 1.4, although if my numbers are right it is slightly, slightly higher. IMO the Palomino's do run lighter on the 5v rail. With the same PSU here's what I got [email protected] 4.95v. [email protected] 4.98v. At $52 you might want to pull the trigger anyway. Even if you only run at say 1.6Ghz you're still getting all the bells and whistles of the AXP

2Ghz is still a no go. My 5v rail is now 5.05v, and 5.03v under full load. Regardless I cannot post above 188Mhz FSB no matter what I try. I will just give a run at 3D mark now.

Don't hang your head to low buddy. I'm only aware of 4 non-watercooled cpus that have supposedly made it anyway.

Very nice OC, mystif! I'm anxious to see what you score in 3dmark.

**mystifmagic** · 09-02-2002, 03:29 PM

Here is a quick warm-up run

Albeit I am a few a bit let down that I didn't hit 2Ghz, I still know in my head that 1.95Ghz far better than I could have expected from a $54 CPU

Yeah you paid $3 less than me so you should be happier with your 1.95 than I am with mine

Let's see the real deal now buddy...I KNOW you have more than that left in that rig and I KNOW you can do it!

Wow, great oc. I have been away from these forums for a very long time it seems and i have missed most of what is going on here. I have been very busy but i am trying to make an effort to get back into the swing of things in the computer world. I just watched kevs last skydive and that was pretty nice. And once again, i must say nice oc mystif and i look forward to talking to you some more (also, when did you get back here? i thought we had seen the last of you)

**LAG** · 09-02-2002, 06:00 PM

So now, mistic and saps have both reached the 1.95ghz mark! Man, I really need some better ram and see if I can't hit it too. After seeing you 2, I'm almost sure I can.

Mystif hit the 1.95Ghz mark too
