tbirdinside, Try the real deal, Fugger im here !!!

Hey, tbirdinside you better worry your t-bird's and duron's aren't safe anymore. I have my P3 500e @ 1ghz 200fsb using a Aopen AX3SP Pro(i815ep). It whips my friends Athlon t-bird 1ghz.

Friends pc:
1ghz T-bird
386mb PC133 cl2
Abit kt7(via kt133)
(2)40gb 7200rpm ATA66 = Raid 0
Geforce2 gts 64mb
TB santa cruz
WinME w/ Office 2k

My new kick-ass rig:
P3 500e @ 1ghz 200fsb (the room it runs in is at 50c, pelter, and over 15 fans)
386mb PC150 sdram
Aopen AX3SP Pro(i815ep)
(4)9.1gb 7200rpm ATA100 w/ Abit Hotrod 100 = RAID 0+1
ATi Radeon 32mb DDR-sdram @ 200/200
Soundblaster mp3+
Win98se w/ staroffice 5.2

Well what you think....

First person to get a topic banned. ABIT BP6 Lives FOREVER!!! VIA SUCKS !!!

What do I think?

Should i be impressed?

Take some screenshots in sandra and let us all see what 1 Ghz machine, also WCPUID, for the bus please...

What I think is that comparisons between AMD and Intel should be made based on the chip the company puts out. Because you can overclock a 500 MHz system to beat a 1GHz Tbird doesn't mean Intel is faster than AMD. Is your average user going to DOUBLE the clock speed of their processor and kick their bus to 200 with FIFTEEN fans in a 50 celsius room?!? What the? How can this possibly mean anything? Thats like saying a pentium 4 1.5 GHz is better than an AMD 1.2 GHz because when I overclock my pentium 4 to 5000 MHz in my freezer storage room with 100 fans it is faster than the amd 1.2 GHz, thus intel is better and AMD sucks.
Ummm..... no.
Comparisons should be based on what each company puts out.

That said, very impressive, if what you say is true. Way to pump your system!! Curious how long it will last though...

I can believe it. Getting the 500 to 1000 is not that hard on the chip or the chipset, just the RAM and the cards. But you can set your RAM 1/3 slower than the processor with this board, which gives you 166MHz RAM, fairly easy with Mushkin Revision 3. The chipset usually only requires slightly additional cooling-a lot of guys get by just with putting a dab of Artic Silver under the sink. The pin modification to raise the voltage of the CPU beyond what the board would normally allow is easily done. The clock generator can get a little warm, but a heatsink there is easily done. I wouldn't be suprized if he could have ran this system with only an FOP38 on it.

Suicide is painless...........

Well i'm thinking about getting a P3 DDR mobo. I dont like VIA so i have to wait for ALi for DDR. I wonder if this would help the 200fsb P3

P3 500e@1ghz/i815ep/386mb/36gb/sb mp3+/radeon32mb k6-2 300/430tx/64mb/13gb/sb512/Sav4 32mb

I can't speak for his machine but it has been done before check out www.h-oda.com the writer of soft fsb, wcupid etc. there are links here to verified overclocks in excess of this.

yeah, that where i got the idea. I wasted 4qty p3 500e processors. Well it was worth it. Well it's really 199fsb but i rounded it to 200fsb.

Good call. I was wondering some of the same things myself, especially the one about the tv. It's like someone telling you a flashlight isn't good if it doesn't 'kick' when you turn it on.....works great, but do you really need it self propelled?

"LOL bigguy. I once had a PC based server with full height hard drives, and when I turned it on it sounded like a turbine helicopter starting, the lights would dimm, etc, lots of fun!"

I'll bet it had a thermal alarm too! When smoke was coming out of the walls, it meant time to power down!
