Hi

 

 

I've tested a few socket 7 cpus under my vapo ls.

Since there's no socket7-kit available, i decided to build my own one.

 

Here are some pics:

 

I used a Epox EP-MVP3G5 socket 7 board for my tests.

 

 

 

First insulation layer:

 

 

 

Second insulation layer (here's already a P 233MMX installed):

 

 

 

Third insulation layer:

 

 

 

Fourth (last) insulation layer:

 

 

 

I also installed the heatpad on the back of the board, to avoid possible condensation:

 

 

For fixing the evaporator on the board i was using 2 "fastening clamps" (i hope thats the right word in english ):

 

 

 

 

 

Here, i was installing Heavy Metal Fakk2. It ran pretty good on the K6-3 @ 567Mhz.

 

 

If you look into my hwbot result you guys wil notice that i use mainly "old" hardware to get points.

But i oced every socket 7 cpus to the max, so i think the results aren't that bad.

 

It took me several hours of testing , because first i often got condensation problems.

It's also very hard, to get a good contact between the Evap and the CPU, because of the "uncommon Evap mounting" :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

the used hardware:

 

Epox EP-MVP3G5 (2MB L2(3)-Cache)

2 x 128MB PC133 @ 2-2-2-5

Geforce 4 Ti 4600

 

 

AMD CPUs:

 

AMD K6 266 0.25µ @ 450mhz @ 2.5V

AMD K6-2 500 0.25µ @ 619mhz @ 2.8V

AMD K6-3 450 0.25µ @ 567mhz @ 2.8V

 

 

Intel CPUs:

 

Intel Pentium 200 0.35µ @ 250mhz @ 3.3V

Intel Pentium MMX 233 0.35µ @ 334mhz @ 3.3V

 

 

these are the 24/7 stable results. for the benches just look at the results in my hwbot-profile.

of course the cpu-z max. was a little bit higher, as the 24/7 results.

 

 

If anyone has questions, just ask.

 

 

best regards,

Great pics, just what I needed

looks like great fun!

i've now also benched 3dmark01 on a few cpus.

the results aren't that great, but it's all about fun, hehe

 

 

p 233mmx @ 334 (with L3 Cache enabled)----->1726 Points

 

 

K6 266 @ 450 (with L3 Cache enabled)----->2131 Points

 

 

k6-2 500 @ 619 (with L3 Cache enabled)----->2550 Points

 

 

k6-3 400+ @ 619 (with L3 Cache enabled)----->3180 Points

 

 

 

on the p 200 w/o mmx, 3dmark01 didn't run because of no mmx support.

 

 

next, i'm getting a k6-2+ 550. yep, that one with 0.18µ.

i hope it will clock much better than the 0.25µ ones.

 

so, stay tuned.

Nice work Turrican, looks like you had some fun there

new results with the k6-2+ 550. @ 2.4V (stock is 2.0V)

 

this one clocks like hell

 

the highest stable clock was an impressive 744mhz (124x6).

 

 

unfortunately the mobo is limiting me. so the max. is "only" 800mhz (133x6). pci & agp clock was already way out of spec, but the HDD didn't care. :lol:

 

 

super pi @ 744mhz (124x6) with disabled l3-cache:

 

 

the lowest temp i achived idle (-29°C) :

 

 

an impressive 800mhz:

 

 

but only windows stable. not super pi stable i guess it's the mobo.

 

3dmark01 (3315 Points):

 

 

3dmark03 (just for fun :lol: 854 Points):

 

 

aquamark3

 

 

pcmark2002:

854 in 3Dmark03 is quite an achievement with a AMD K6-3!

although 3dmark and other programs recoginze the cpu as a k6-3, it's a k6-2+.

 

even cpu-z doesn't recognize the cpu correct -->it shows "amd k6-3+ or k6-2+".

 

but there's on hint to see if it's a k6-2+ ot k6-3+.

 

it's the on-die l2-cache.

 

 

the k6-2+ has got 128kb and the k6-3+ 256kb l2-cache on-die

 

 

for example, here's a super pi screen form the k6-3+ 400 @ 619mhz. see what i mean

 

You might want to fire up the setup again ... I just managed to go sub 6min with only 574 mhz (115 * 5)
