Intel Dothan Overclocking, going for 100% OC on Dry Ice
 

Today we go for a 100% overclock with a 1.6Ghz Pentium M Dothan CPU, using Dry Ice to cool the CPU this might be possible. To make things more interesting we also push an ATI X800 to its limit running it at -52°C

:ws:

beating a 3.2 GHz FX with stock aircooling :eek:

Now imagine it with a dual 120 Shogun o_O. You could shovel tonns of volts up its ***.


Intel could sooo whoop AMD if they wanted to.

the Dothan/Pentium M fails in multimedia, applications and multi tasking

it's gold for games and CPU intensive benchmarks, but it stops there :)

all they need is hyperthreading in it, and this would be one sweet chip.
Then again, would HT be as helpfull with a smaller pipeline??
Dual core it for all I care. You could quad core it, and still use less power then a presscot.

Nice one again :)

Lets put a FX-57 on Dice ;)

Great article guys, looks like you had some fun. :super:

:klap: Freaky stuff...:grr:

Whip that CPU boys:spank:

dual core dothan is coming (yonah) ;)

why would the pipeline influence the hyperthreading capabilities?

wow tnx for the positive reactions:D

till the next article i supose:D

nice work people :)

but how do you guys clean up all that vasiline mess you made...?
must be a pain in the *** for sure :D

with nailpolish remover without aceton
or methanol or iso propanol ;)

Hmmm,... with regards to the issues experienced with the X800;

This screen here looks familiar to me: http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/In...-jmke-7876.jpg

This kind of screen corruption had happened the first time i'd overclocked my 9600XT to the maximum core frequency. The way i'd fixed it was to disable overdrive.

Apparently, overdrive will attempt to increase your core frequency in increments above your current core clock, so the highest overdrive steps may be beyond the core's tolerance.

The moral of the story? Don't overclock the core using ATI tool while overdrive is enabled. (it should be ok overclocking manually, since overdrive would be operating during regular stress tests and the resulting overclock would have the headroom for overdrive to work without screwing things up.)

Hope this helps.

you clean up vaseline with nailpolish remover?
Never heard of that solution, but i'm gonna try it out tho' :super:

goddamn powerful stuff...

hey sicopath, it wasn't due the overdriver isue.
It was because there was condensation formed onto the agp slot:)

just wash it off in the shower with hot water and place it in the oven to dry quick :) right jort? :D

PS: I'm having probs with the card again :( :

I had stripes in windows - wherever I moved the mouse and also when windows loads you could see discolored stripes in the load bar and the windows xp logo, also serious tearing in games - after the dry ice run so I placed the card in the oven for a couple of hours and everything was fine after that but now yesterday (messing about with my own P4C800 + adapter + dothan) I had installed a new windows and the stripes were back... :grum:

damn that suckes kristos, did you measured the voltage allready?

maybe you sweat on the card because you don't have a case around?j/k

i hope its not dying:s

yeah, it's at 1.45V wich should do the trick, just to be sure, I put it back on 1.5v like it was before.

I haven't sweated since the weather changed so that won't be it :p

I don't mind the card dying, it wasn't a good clocker, but it's the RMA waiting (I don't have a spare vidcard that can handle modern games...) and having to clean the card (solder) and flash it back and all that that I'm not exactly looking forward too :/

mhh maybe i got my x800 back in 1-2 weeks, if so i can send it too you.

or if you don't mind a Fx5200?:^D

i am going to pcstore tomorrow:)

lol that would be awesome * 10 :D

but I've posted about it on XS and there was a somewhat hopefull reply so right now all i can do is wait and see if he can offer me a sollution to the problem. in the mean while I've turned my attention to cooking: who wants some oven roasted x800? :^D

:super: finger-licking article!

tnx Matti;)

every article is finger licking here;)

how do Chinese websites report news? a link? a small quote? a small image?

no sir, they completel COPY the whole thing.. arghl http://www.pconline.com.cn/diy/front...07/655340.html
:grum: :grum: :grum: :grum: :grum: :grum: :grum:

The mind could not catch up fast enough with economic growth.

Mind = right/wrong = general education

at least they mention the source...

dead link for me :/

what did they do? copy your newspost? copy the entire article? ...

link is live and well, copied the whole thing

[M] logo on every picture becomes necessity ; or simply the full name whenever possible.

that still won't stop them from copying everything, who cares what the pictures says, they have copied more then 5 articles now, with and without [M] logo on pics; all to no avail

I was thinking at minimum, readers could read Madshrimps.be being the source. There is not much we could do. Even big businesses can do nothing, hence my reluctancy in dealing with them. Getting ripped off is the worst feeling :(

I think it's best to send them at least a mail or something, maybe they just give a translation for the chinese readers. And there is a link to madshrimps and I guess "??:Madshrimps" probably means, by/source/... madshrimps.

damn chinese:chop:

emailed them 100's of times to no avail

Great article. Nice work guys. ;)

Hey Jort, this articly inspired me. Thx dude ;)

lol np, next one is on the way. with some colder medium :D

That would be perfect :D

out tomorrow, if all goes well
