Overclocking the P4 Prescott
 

Gamer takes his latest P4 3.0E Prescott for a spin, searching the magical 4ghz, air cooled. Is it obtainable? Read on to find out: http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=190

what kind of memmory did you use?
PC3200?

--> I picked up a 2nd hand Abit IC7 Max, new/old GF4 Ti4200 and used my trusty OCZ PC4200 which ran perfectly at 275+Mhz on my Asus P4C800-E Deluxe.

what bios did you run it on ?

BIOS compile date: 10/30/2003

didn't flash it, because it worked without a problem out of the box.

What temps did u get with air cooling ?

to hot to handle :)

about 75° in bios with 1.65 vcore.

And load @ 3.9GHz ? 80°c 90°c :o

Really nice overclock, I knew these chips had it in them. Your PWM temps don't seem too bad either. How high did they get when running 3D applications?

woah hot and roasty :)
