Pentium D Overclock

[Canuto]

Man that's really a shitty mobo you need a good one and fast, with a a good mid-range mobo you can get a great OC even with that cooler maybe 3400mhz or more i don't know this ram is really holding me back.

The max i can get with my borrowed Pd 805 is 4.1ghz, 1.52v. I'll try it out with my new watercooling stuff arriving monday. Hopefully 4.5ghz at least.

Well, I'm talking about overclocking WHEN i get his board you see. My board at the moment (ASUS P5LP-LE) is "unoverclockable" you see? BIOS locked. Can't be flashed. NOTHING can be changed to alter anything. So I will buy that board and then I will overclock using that.

A person who finds a way to overclock MY motherboard is a God among men.

Good luck, because, you'll NEED it (you & Tigger69, both) to overtake me again here:

LOL!

P.S.=> That's right - I'm NOT above "gloating"!

(... especially when someone rubs salt into the cut on me, first...)

Seriously though: Good luck!

I wouldn't mind seeing either yourself OR Tigger69 "getting the better of me" once more (Tigger69 did for a bit) there, as it would give me reason to try for yet another HIGHER o/c also... on air here though, not exotic methods like Arctic 7 Freezer Pro (looks like a GREAT cooler Tigger69), etc. (& normal RAM here too, DDR-400 stock stuff)... apk

* Conroes vs. Pentium D shootout...

I'd like see that conroe against a Pentium D 930 clocked at 4.125Ghz.

Same.

 

[infrared]

the 930 wouldn't stand a chance against an overclocked conroe.

I'd like see that conroe against a Pentium D 930 clocked at 4.125Ghz.

Tigger69's got one, clocked WAY up there... he gave me a HELL OF A TIME beating his rig in the ScienceMark 2.0 benchmark contest we had here in fact because of it!

the 930 wouldn't stand a chance against an overclocked conroe.

You're dead-on right... we ALL got "floored" by a machine like that, in Devious' rig...

APK

P.S.=> What I found somewhat "weird" was the fact that a NON-OC'd rig in a CONROE no less (g R 3 i F^^), did not do better than mine did, again: see the sciencemark 2.0 thread url I put up above... apk

i think my 930 did pretty well really.holding its own up there.

that 805 vs 6600 test is pretty pointless,dont really see why the guy did it.the 6600 has a 1066 bus and the 805 has a 533 bus.its pretty obvious it was gonna be quicker.the tester must have some spare time on his hands i think.

 

[infrared]

yeah, the 805 is a crap chip. Even overclocked to 4ghz you still only have an 800mhz fsb.

Thankfully the 805 i'm playing with isn't mine! It's good for folding, but i much prefer my 640.

oh, tigger, what's the stock multiplier on the 930? 14x? how far can you lower the multi using intel speedstep?

 

[Canuto]

The multiplier for the Pentium D 930 is 15x

 

[Casheti]

Yeah...

 

[infrared]

The multiplier for the Pentium D 930 is 15x

And that will drop to 14x with Speedstep? Thanks

 

[Canuto]

Honestly i don't know

 

[infrared]

hehe, it's alright

i'm thinkin i might get one for my next cpu, i just wanna know how far i would be able to raise the fsb on that baby. I should be able to get 4.5ghz+ on watercooling, so 1288mhz fsb if i can drop the multiplier to 14x or 1200mhz fsb if i can't. That's pretty cool

 

[Casheti]

Omfg, 920 Ftw!

 

[Deleted member 24505]

mine will definatley do 4.3ghz.ive had 4.4ghz but not able to do the science test.i can only figure it needs more vcore than i can give it,because of the temp,not cause i cant supply enuff.i have had it to 4.5ghz(300fsb)but only to the bios,not to windows.again must be more vcore.my ram will do 900mhz with no probs as that is what it is rated to and i have had it to 1000mhz.

in my view it is a pretty good chip,gave a 4800x2 a run for its money,i am only beaten by temp,not capabilities.with some good h20 on it,i reckon there is 4.5ghz+ in this chip without a problem.i found some guy who's had 4.8 outta his with 1.57vcore.that kind of voltage is only possible with water.at that speed it would be pretty impressive i reckon.

 

[strick94u]

comes a point when overclocking only gets you the speed of the front side bus floating point calculations go down the toilet after awhile and that leaves you with a fast yet stupid cpu. oh it still run damn nice but its only numbers. The work the processor does is not much faster than when you hit the point that the floating point starts to drop. And you draw to many watts which is heat which = more fule consumed for the same amount of work which= shorter life span of the cpu,but it all looks cool on paper

Good chip, good cooler, & GOOD mobo no doubt... credit to your choices for componentry purposes, & your tenacity + abilities in o/c'ing there!

You're my "main impetus/inspiration" to keep trying out newer/higher o-c rates via FSB increases (mostly) here... doing it @ nite, or in early A.M., because of lower ambient temps possible/present then.

It's been a "real battle" vs. you, lol!



* Anyhow - I am seriously considering running my A/C directly into the side of my box via a makeshift duct I will construct outta cardboard most likely... to assure those lower ambients! Right now, it is in my living room out of consideration for guests etc. & what-not!

QUESTION:

I wasn't aware that your Pentium D was not considered a "peer" to my processor, albeit from the Intel side... is that how it is? Is the Pentium D 903 not considered an "equal" of sorts to my AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800+??

APK

P.S.=> It'd work, & do think about it - ordinarily? I am not usually in the practice of "helping out the competition" but, it'd only be a matter of time before others thought this little "trick" out & implemented it... apk

 

[Deleted member 24505]

i'd have considered the 4800+ to be higher up the scale than my 930.dont forget there is a 940,950,955 and extreme above mine i believe,correct me if i'm wrong.that is why i was quite happy that my 930 could compete with your 4800+.

if you duct your ac to your cooler,you probs will get higher.i just cant coz unless i get watter cooling theres no way i can go higher than the 4386 i did the 1430 at.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

well i proved myself wrong.i did do better,another 10 points up on my previous score,have at ye alec.consider the gauntlet well and truly thrown down.

 

[infrared]

Hmmm, i just got my watercooling stuff installed. Managed to get this borrowed Pd 805 clocked to 4.3ghz stable Been folding away all night.

[error_f0rce]

WTF??? FTW!!! How did I get on here?: http://valid.x86-secret.com/records.php

Someone please explain to me how this happened??? I have no adjustable FSB:RAM divider, it auto-sets, I have value RAM and an ASROCK mobo with VIA chipset (yes W1zz, VIA!!! ) I don't even have the option to up the DIMM voltage by any set amount, so is this a mistake, or just some crazy ass perfect coincidental component combination?

Right now I'm running at 3,497MHz, x15 multi, FSB 233.2, Bus speed 932.7, RAM 466.4MHz, FSB:RAM 1:2, 3-3-3-9 2T. Is that 466.4MHz OC'd from 333?

EDIT: That's weird, they guy in #2 place for Highest RAM Freq has the same mobo as me!?
