For Cache adjustments use CPUCool. Though if u use a tbird you dont need this anyway.

 

My TNT2 Pro just accepts 105Mhz Bus speed so I can not benefit from my KA7. Very bad...

I have 700 T-bird also. Maybe we have a little sub contest inside a contest? :celebration:

Sure, why not.

My Tbird is pretty bad overclocker though http://hwbot.org/submission/2256175_havli_superpi___1m_athlon_700mhz_%28slot_t_bird%29_2min_35sec_964ms And I think it won't be faster than Pluto 900 MHz... let's see.

anyone know how rare Thunderbirds are compared to the cpus withseparate cashe when looking at the 1ghz version? worth taking the chanse and hope to get lucky?

1Ghz Orion runs with 333Mhz Cache while Thunderbirds Cache is 1:1. Should be important in 3D.

That I know, was a question about how rare it would be to get a thunderbird instead of a Orion when buing a random slot A 1000Mhz.

AMD Athlon (Slot A) microprocessor family

i hope that helps

 

Also have the innovatek oc card, but it does not work on Asus K7V rev 1.03 and older according to the description. Guess what... my board is K7V 1.01. So it does not POST.

 

The other problem is anything higher than 101 FSB in bios does not post.

110MHz with the jumpers works, but that's the maximum one can set.

How about 110 with jumpers and then more in win?

Consider yourself lucky enough to own this 1.0Ghz Tbird cpu and forget all the rest.

 

First loss of this comp.

My 700 T-bird no longer posts.

That sucks, any interesting mods done or just died randomly from normal OC?

Depends on what you call normal.

I was leaning on it pretty hard (over 2v) on the chiller.

Pretty much normal for me.

It's ok. The road to high clockspeed is littered with dead hardware.

Yes, I was extremely lucky to find that CPU and really cheap (classified as useless stuff).

I got a whole PC for like 25 euro - this T-Bird, the board, some generic sdram, quantum hdd, psu, case, cd-rom, riva tnt2 32MB.

Have no windows installed yet, but will try. Hopefully will work, otherwise it is just plain boring - set 10x110 and that's it.

Isn't 2V and above pretty normal and "safe"?

It is 18nm CPU and although not a socket it should be similar to s.A.

Thats totaly a normal OC id say, 2V doesnt sound extreme at all for a thunderbird chip (atleast not for a socket A one..), hope you got some good scores saved before it gave up atleast

 

 

@I\.nfraR\.ed, thats an amazing deal, those CPUs seems really hard to come by as they only shipped in OEM computers... I was contacted by a guy that wanted to sell one on a swedish forum, he wanted $200 for just the cpu...

I thought it was fairly normal.

Must have just been weak.

Whaaaaat?!

Whaaaaat?!

 

Actually it was over 200 euro...

 

Mr. Scott, have you looked at the core? These are really fragile and "chips" easily.

Whaaaaat?!

 

Haha, yea its true, no deal on that one! But must say Id like one of those after seeing Infrareds ressult in 3dmark99, those thunderbirds are amazing! Wonder if he can reach 10k even?!

 

Mr. Scott, have you looked at the core? These are really fragile and "chips" easily.

Yup, core looks fine.

I'm totally familiar with all of the old school hardware. Been doing this since the mid 90's.

Found today working K7V with Pluto 750. OC from bios working fine, post up to 112mhz bus. More limited by mobo? or this shitty cpu cant do normal clocks?

Could be MB limit or the external L2 cache is holding you back.

Respect to Mr.Scott

 

Until right now infared is the only guy how has ATHLON 1000 Mhz cpu

For the first stage i think we have a winner here

 

The second stage PCMARK 2004 is tricky...

I think Ive added now all available Slot A motherboards to our db. Maybe it helps some people finding a board.

Hi, I am new here. I got this competition in my mailbox for some reason. Maybe I visited here doing some overclocking in the past. As I have some old hardware laying around here I did find a motherboard with Slot A, a processor that fits and a Riva gpucard .... can still compete with you ?

Absolutely! Get it fired up and post some scores! You have to be able to beat up on my Argon core, so many fancy Thunderbirds laying around in this competition that my CPU will make you look awesome.
