quote: Overclocking: Not A Whole Lot Possible: Prior to the test, the THG engineers had some rather high expectations: overclocking with the smaller CPU core should prove to be easily accomplished. The serial settings run at 13.5 x 133 MHz = 1800 MHz. But our attempt to overclock the processor's FSB to 148 MHz, similar to the Athlon XP 2100+ (Palomino), failed. Here, it should be mentioned that both systems were operated with a high-quality watercooling setup. The result: the system remained stable only at 140 MHz FSB, meaning that the CPU clock was increased to 1890 MHz. This is an increase of 5%, which is clearly a weaker result than with the older Palomino, which ran with perfect stability at 1918 MHz (11.2% increase).
guys, maybe i'm just being dumb here so help me out some....
frank volkel (i love my ski's btw) apparently tried to overclock this t-bred by increasing the frontside bus. excuse me here frank, but athlon NEVER has been a good fsb overclocker. he never bothers to mention if he even attempted to adjust the multipliers or voltage settings (am i missing something in your article here frank, or was it even attempted?) i would suggest that increasing the multipliers (if possible, is this still possible with the t-bred?) or increasing the voltage (did you ever attempt this?) would reap better results.
anyhow i want to make it clear, i'm not trying to offend anyone here or cause any problems. i'm just intrested in the facts: was multiplier increases ever attempted? was there an attempt to increase the voltage? what were the subsequent tempature increases.
if you going to give the tbred such a harsh looking over, why omit such critical information from readers? are we not capable? seems to me his article has created more questions in my mind, than answers.....
