Pentium D 805 (2.66 GHz stock) Asus P5W DH Deluxe 1 GB 667 Corsair XMS2 Twinx (4-4-4-12) X1950XTX Sapphire 850W enermax Galaxy Zalman 9500 (amazing lil bugger) 40 degrees idle, 57 degrees with both cores max out with prime 95 and super PI. I just amazed that the Zalman can cool this thing when my room temp is about 30 C. Gonna save up for a water cooling kit, hopefully i can push it farther. p.s. How high can i go with memory, FSB termination, ICH, and MCH voltages?? I don't wanna go and blow my board just yet .
Those 805s are impressive but at those speeds they are power hogs. http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/05/10/dual_41_ghz_cores/page14.html
With that power consumption it'd be trouble bringing it to LAN parties. In the worlds largest LAN party, held last weekend in Jönköping, Sweden (7752 paying participants, 7788 connected computers), each user was alloted 275W of power. With Tom's system using 258W without overclocking that leaves only 17W for the monitor and any other peripheral devices used. Tough! /Olle
OT : Jönköping? i have a friend who is gonna study at the business school there as an exchange student
ummmm..... yeah i'm not sure i wanna go any higher with air cooling (although i always want to make eggs in my computer...). 4Ghz should be good enuff for now.
Pentium D 805 is always hot - pushing this to 4 ghz must require either a very strong cooler or a water based cooler. By all means, this got to be the most bizzare thing - never seen such special results at 57 degrees full load! Hope it's running stable all day long. Btw, where to get the Celeron 300As? Heard that they are very rare antique. Suddenly I got the urge to play with it, and max it until 500...
I remember playing around with my 600MHz coppermine celery (my home's very first PC )at ~1100MHz It's stable for normal use, but definitely not prime95 stable. The mainboard can't take FSB133, so I never get a chance to try out 1200MHz I almost got a 100% overclock on this celery LOL oh, I killed it when I put it into someone else mainboard and run it without a heatsink
well now i'm getting around 53 degrees under stress testing (i'm using speedfan, pc probe 2 doesn't want to play nice right now), and under regular gaming i'm getting about 47-48, so its now that bad.... but it could be faster. a side note, anybody out there got any pcmark scores i can compare to?? i wanna see if theres a lil more speed that i can tweak out.
This is really good overclock. Make sure you don't let it throttle down - it'll affect the overclock. Anyway, nice one you have. I wonder will it beat X2 3800+ ?
