have this new axia chip 1giger running at defult voltage up to 1425 9.5*150. it is super sweet. I swaped out my 1giger that was at 1133 at 1.85v for this one. have to say I notice a differance on some things but not on evertrhing. Benchmarks sure noticed it though.

in sandra I got huge increases....and in N-bench I almost gained 1000 points well 800 or there about. with a radeon that ant bad I have t say. Ohwell back to seti and folding.

nice! i wnat to get one of those axia's but really can't justify it 'cause i'm at 1.265 already with my avha - this can get downright silly.

Damnit !!! I only got my Axia 1Ghz up to 1.4Ghz...oh well

nexus_7, what heatsink and fan are you using ? What type of ram, I think it's time for an upgrade on my main computer

Oh yeah, also what voltage for cpu and i/o ?

Greg, that's on an Iwill board, right? Did you try just goosing it with the multiplier only and if you did, what could get? Temps? Copper-bottomed Taisol with ?? fan?

He uses those Asus a1337vZ's or whatever they are, not Iwill. He'd get higher FSB speeds if he did use an Iwill. I think he might have one incoming. Smart move.

You're better off raising the FSB than upping the multi when OCing 266 T-birds. The idea is to max the FSB as high as it will go. That's where you get the best performance increases, especially in memory bandwidth department. Of course having good OCing memory would be appropriate for that approach too.

As far as temps go, I'm using a KK266R with a Taisol (w/copper) and a Delta 38 . I get about 27-28C @ idle and 42-44C under full load, 9.5*162 FSB @ 1.85v. A bit noisy, but nice and cool.

BTW, I'm guessing that's your spleen under your user ID?

I can't seem to go any higher than 140 with my FSB and even at 140 it becomes unstable

What kind of ram are you guys using ?

Also I tried 150 and got into windows but my videocard drivers didn't seem to load up so it looked like I didn't install my videocard drivers yet.

Is that a problem with ram, cpu or videocard ?

I've just recently started having stability problems at 1.4Ghz

I'm gonna order a Swiftech MC462-A with Delta FFB0812SHE 80mm fan soon

I'm also thinking about either getting 2 sticks of 256MB Kingmax PC150 SDRAM or Tonicom PC160 SCRAM

Just got 3 orders to build computers so I'm gonna use the money I get from that to upgrade a little

Most likely the culprit is your KT7A and /or your RAM. I had a KT7A and it wouldn't do anything higher than 137 FSB stable. That's why I dumped it in favor of the KK266R. In order to find the Highest FSB your mobo is capable of, set your RAM to it's slowest timings (cas3, 3-3) and disable 4-way interleave. Then move your FSB up a bit at a time.

As far as the RAM goes. I'd get either the Tonicom PC166 cas2 from atacom or some Corsair PC150 cas2. I'd skip the Kingmax stuff.

OR just get a DDR board

Kazer · Post by **Kazer** » Wed May 30, 2001 1:22 am

I'm waiting for a good DDR Raid mobo

Any offerings from Asus or Abit yet ?

VidmanII · Post by **VidmanII** » Wed May 30, 2001 6:21 am

....Abit KG7 RAID

Kazer · Post by **Kazer** » Wed May 30, 2001 12:43 pm

VidmanII, yea I'm waiting for that to come out

Have you heard any news on it ? like when it will be released ?

Okay, but don't tell anyone.

That thing was a tumor of the STAGE THREE BIGASS COLON CANCER type. That whole section of me is gone - ascending colon. I just think it's a nice mystery pic. )*

Undy, you are one very lucky and determined guy to get through that. Scary stuff. Could happen to anybody

Don't know if I could handle that. We are glad you're here.
