Overclocking fun, on a budget

piotke · 14th May 2006, 00:57

Setup:

XFX 7600 Gt XXX (default 580/800)
Pentium M 740 (1733 / 533 / 2 m)
Asus p4pgl-X + Asus ct479

The entire setup was bought second handed and cost me 370 euro.

The cpu is a beaty, overclocks with the simple air cooler up to 2650 Mhz, on only 1.45 vCore. Running temps over 55 °C.

The vga card is also a nice overclocker, only 625 on the core, but 935 on the memory.

Some results:

3d 01 : 30500
3d 03: 16100

More to come

how is PI doing ?

piotke · 14th May 2006, 10:38

pi is 29 seconds.

Unfortunalety I can't change multi on that mainboard. But next week I'll hipro-mod my convertor and add more vcore. Now I'm limited to 1.45 Volt
