Northwood 2.26 @ 3.4

Post by r53s »

I am not an overclocker, but I have a Pentium 2.26 on an Asrock motherboard, and was curious about that.
The mobo is a p4145 gv 5, a value one.
Fsb can go to 248 on it, but as a non overclocker I only went to 200 fsb with one gig A-Data 333 memory.
The multiplier is 17, so the clock went to 3.4 (verified with Everest).
It went stable.
I am posting mainly because that mobo overclocked without changing volts or anything, and it even auto overclocked the memory to 400, and you can select the fsb in one point increments.

Watch your temps! And how do you define "stable?" Did you run 3dMark05 for 12 hours? Or SuperPi? You gotta use those, if there's artifacting you have an issue.

It wont artifact if proccessor is unstable, cept for possibly in the CPU tests. The rest are completely GPU dependable.

What you want to run is sisoft Sandra burn in, Memtest to check for errors, a few runs of 3dmark0* and look for crashing, and just overall stableness. If you notice programs crashing, then it is unstable. Or blue screens for that matter.

As for the OC, thats not too crazy. I mean, it is a huge overclock, and I'm not sure how you got it, simply going from 166 mhz fsb to 200mhz. Thats what, a 34mhz oc on the fsb. Its just a crazy huge multi you have there.

I would watch temps, but you should'nt have to worry too much as long as you don't inrease the voltage.

And doing a little math...You must have increased the multi...@ 166 fsb, which your memory will default at, and @ a 17x multi, that puts you at around 2.8 ghz.
