ludek - EP-3PTA @ 207.2MHz - 207.19 MHz Reference Clock

[ludek]

@Gradus, @Terra, @michaeln and to others olschool ocers. It looks like we have another good motherboard on "want to buy" list michaelnm I want you to beat this score, come on, possible on AIR and you have valid at 166 MHz chipset. Use CPUFSB program (http://www.cpufsb.de/FSB.HTM) to OC under Windows.

Thanks Piotr. However we buy what is available - haven't seen 3PTA ever listed locally for sale.

ye, never saw this mobo for sale.

Nice one, ludek! I told you, recapping works! Now... why CPU-Z is complaining about the score? (reporting "unchecked")

 

Looks within the realm of possibility to me, tough this is only CPU overclocking, the memory is not that well overclocked at 155MHz. Never the less, still pretty impressive!

Unchecked - XOC=1

[trodas]

Oh Never need such setting, as I mostly aim for benchable O/C... so that is the reason. Will it change to "validated" when "checked" or something...?

[ludek]

I use XOC=1 so I don't know... On my today;s submissions says "validated". Solano is so good platform Another motherboard in my collection the Abit SA6R. That epox 3PTA maybe fly as good as TUSL2 but subzero needed

 

Nice one, ludek! I told you, recapping works!

 

If blowen caps has got 5% of manufacturer's declarated capacity was bad, but (shock!) is was POSTing without problems. Recapped using 2.5 V caps, will see if they blown when "extreme oc" will come

Interesting. Did you also used XOC=1 for todays validated subs?

Classic...

Must be quite stable sturdy board! That is actually a good sign.

But to match Gradus speeds, you need to go thru plenty of Qimonda rams in order to get the possibility of 3-3-3-7 at 240+MHz ones And I doubt that it will be easy to get the board into such clocks w/o extreme mods I would stick with the Asus TUSL2-C, as TerraRaptor is using to these absolutelly stunning scores with SDRAMs!

You can source it easily on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-TUSL2-C-motherboard-Intel-Tualatin-1-4GHz-512MB-memory-/281808235276?hash=item419d146b0c

Please don't overvolt them. 2.5V polymers have at most 2.8V that they can take - for brief period of time (at least that is what Nichicon ones can take, but I never tried this...). Use 4V polymers, if you are planing to go bad a*s on the poor mobo, please

My mistake. I used XOC=0. Now I'm using XOC=1 and it says "unchecked".
