... equals.... A rather nippy CPU! Dothan at 2.8ghz was pretty quick, but these chips LOVE winter climates. So, strap a Gray Mole modded Mach1 to a Dothan and what happens, well the CPU gets a bit chilly (-37 to be exact) and begins to giggle with glee. Once his toes are covered with frost, the real monster within is unleashed. Down and -35 deg (real CPU temp) with a healthy 1.65v up its rear the Dottie 750 managed a healthy 3.25ghz running on a 13* multiplier and 250FSB. With this extra CPU speed, and another Gray Mole special on the GPU the 6800LE (modded to 16 pipes) has smashed the previous 01 WR by 1300 points, first LE to break 34 and 35k, settling for now at 35051 It's not an awsome CPU, but 3.25 ghz isnt bad, a little more time and 3.3 should be do-able, with a more favourable FSB too. Superpi ain't bad either
nicely done mate! cant believe you still managed to squeeze more out of that dothan! still one of the quickest cpu's about, despite being old now (well in terms of technology!)...shame I have to sell my dothan rig... any chance of getting a higher fsb, with a lower multi or does it just not boot then?
Can run up to ~ 270 FSB with the BH (more with more volts hopefully) but CPU isnt quite stable up there. With more voltage (CPU) it should be do able though. Mach's not quite cold enough to get the most out of the CPU really, it needs the Chilly1 tube sticking on at some point. It's been interesting to see the speed increase with various cooling though, 2.65 benchable stock air, 2.85 under water and now 3.25 under phase.. Maybe 3.4 will fall under DICE??
I think you have hit the nail on the head there...when they first came out and I saw some overclocks just on the standard air cooler, and a couple under water, it showed just how big the potential of these dothans are, but I also would have to say it takes a nutter like you to get the most out of it...is your mobo vMod(ed)?
Nutter? No... this is pretty tame compared to others. Yea, vDroop, and vCore mods. Feeding her 1.65v atm for 3.2ghz, run 1.7 for 3.25, so hopefully pushing towards 1.75 should give 3.3.. Need VCCA mods to the CT-479 sometime soon too, which should help things out a bit.
1 target down, 22 secs pi (now for 21....!) Shocked that 3.3ghz actually ran, the chip seems to respond to volts when frozen, something it never did under water or air! Heading closer to 36k 01 too... http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8965959 As well as breaking 6k 05! http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1994808
