wow... what a nostalgic thread...
after 6 years the PC is still running strong with 24/7 OC at 3.0Ghz.. gone through 2 graphic cards X800XT and also now running on 7900GS... damn i'm olskool..
this mod has kept my pc running stable all these years. the mesh is doing it's job and i have 2...
This is my LAST OC before i do my volt mod and change my AGP card.. :(
Testbed:
running ATItool to fully OC my Powercolor 9700-nonPRO (flashed and OCed)
OC my cpu to 3.6GHz (need volt mod to fully tap my Mushkin Level2 Special Edition@2226 (heard it was BH6)
Whole system is about...
that means you're using P4 2.4Ghz with 533FSB? these are not so OC-able
Also you're indicating you're running 3 DDR? are you running at single channel mode?
all i know is that my Kingston Hynix BT D43 not compatible with my Mushkin Special Edition BH 6... they can post, but cannot load into windows even with the latency set to favor the Kingston
sand the fan a bit so that the paint can stick better... also use very thin layer of paint as thick and uneven paints can cause the fan blades to be unbalanced, and won't want that to happen
you need bigger fans...
my system runs at 45C on load on my delta 92mm 110cfm fan at full speed
but it'll climb to 55C if i set it at lower speed by using 7V mod
ambient temp is normally 32C with casing temp about 35C
i won't expect much from a 29CFM fan
but is it me or the core speed and multiplier doubled when on load??
further more the core voltage jumps from 1.056v to 1.392v...
you're saying on OC or on load?
so far from what i've seen, the temp is consistent with the cpu OC
