dual 533's@600

[James He]

Finally stable at 75 FSB.
CPU core currently at 2.2v. I think I can knock that down a bit.
temps running around 45c.

I actually got it to post as high as 83 fsb, but hangs on startup. at 78 or 80 (or 82!) I can boot into 2000 but it will reboot after a minute or so.

My CPU coolers are standard AMD coolers- perfect fit! There's less than a milimeter betweem the sink and a few of the caps. connecting the lead for the fans was a trick! I can't recall what model they are.

Today a put a 50mm fan from my old CPU heatsinks on the BX greenie- just put it on with one screw! seems to be fine! have it blowing into the greenie. No case fans but I keep it open.

no mods to the board yet. I actuallly have a burned up power connector and a leaking cap- so the board defintly needs attention. exspecting the worst to happen anytime now lol.

haha running a board with a leaking cap, that's living on the edge
45c is a little toasty, you might want to check the heatsink and make sure that it's contacting right

Oh and...

83MHz is the Devil's FSB

[BCN]

hey you have amazing celerons! the usual is not coming very close to 600MHz.... if you put pelt and water cooling I am sure you could be fine at like 700MHz+...

[Holodeck2]

lol, BCN I think you're starting to get a little obscessed with this watercooling thing

[BCN]

yeah, cause I have been waiting a LONG time till i could actually do anything in this direction because of the finiancial situation...

And Now... well, actually doing something...

Dual Celi PPGA 533 @ 600 2.2vcore (8 x 75MHz)
3 x 128MB PC133 - 384MB at 75MHz CAS 2.0
Intel Pro 100+ Ethernet
Diamond Speedstar A50 8MB AGP 2x (AGP set 2/3)

Idle temp : 33 Celcius CPUs and 38 Celcius CASE

2 x CDROM on ATA 33 Secondary

2 x 20GB 7200RPM disks on ATA 33 Primary
(Sandra2004 @ 18 - 20 MB/s)

1 x 30GB 7200RPM hard disks on ATA 66 Primary
(Sandra2004 @ 44 MB/s)

Running Highpoint BIOS version 1.25 and Win2K driver version 1.25,
version 1.25 gives me 44MB/s.

Highpoint BIOS/driver versions 1.28 and 1.30 perform horribly,
both give me 12MB/s.

Basic Socket 370 CPU heat-sinks and fans, using Artic Silver 5 on lapped CPU heat-sinks. Added generic thermal paste to North Bridge heat-sink. Used Arctic Alumina adhesive to heat-sink South Bridge and Highpoint chips.

Enermax 350 W with dual exhaust fans

1 x 120mm intake, in drive cage
2 x 80mm exhaust mid-back of case

120mm intake and two 80mm exhaust on thermal sensitive speed control to reduce noise at low or no load.

Several successful Prime95 stress tests at 600MHz ( 8 x 75MHz )

I was able to run my 533's @ 600MHz on regular voltage for some bit until I stressed the system hard. So I lowered the fsb down to 72MHz.

I guess I should give 600 another go with 2.2 volts
