With
“super-cooling” I was able to get my 1,33ghz processor
to 1666 MHz, (it could do 1600 with just aircooling and a
high-performance heatsink.) The “super-cooling” used was
CPUFX’s Z3 watercooler, which I reviewed
here, and its water tank was filled with ice… The
temperature was 14C/57F (measured with the tempsensor)
quite chilly… There is also a bug in the BIOS on my Abit KT7A
v1.3 motherboard, the multiplier named 13x is actually 12,5x
and the processor speed is displayed as 1664mhz and not
1666mhz, just ignore this if you have that “problem”, as
you see below the much more accurate WCPUID
by H-Oda displays that correct CPU speed…
1666mhz
is the highest you can get without overclocking with the FSB
speed, in which case you risk the stability and actually
probability that any of your other devices will get
destroyed, I have had an cd-rom drive die due to FSB
overclocking and thus I will refrain from displaying results
obtained by such overclocking …
I
hope this article has been as useful to you as it has been
fun for me writing, if you have any problems getting it all
to work and you gone through my “Q & A” section
above please ask your questions in the “tweaking
and overclocking” section of our forums, please
don’t send e-mails to me and ask why it
doesn’t work if it isn’t entirely necessary, you will
get a much faster response in our forums and I will have
more free time to work on other articles that way… ;-).
Btw,
I’ve managed to decode the multipliers above 12,5x all the
way to 20x, but to ensure that they are “safe” and will
not be harmful to the CPU I need a test sample, if you are a
reseller and has such a CPU which can do 2000mhz or more
don’t hesitate to contact
me! (12,5x
* 160mhz FSB)
