sure, the Prerequisite is the modded bios or newer official bios released fromAbit, else even we have money to buy the necessary equipment, we still cannot achieve more. for multiplier 10, i believe the highest maybe 250*10 under normal original fan cooling. to increase the fsb further more, we must wait for the newer bios. yesterday i can manage to boot into 300*6 under 6:5 ratio, but it is no value for us. higher fsb will make system less stable. anyway now i am using 246*10 to play safe, everything seems good and goes smoothly. we have already squeeze a lot from this poor 3000+ cpu. I am satisfied now. BUT i am also eagerly waiting for the new bios release because I believe the Geil UP ram has far more potential to be OCed.
One more strange thing, so far I read a lot of articles about the AMD64 3000+ OC, it seems most of them are under 2.3Ghz even in very good conditions of the rest parts(PSU, Mem....). How come ours are so easy to be OCed (with stable preformance)??? you have any ideas? or the articles I (more...)
yes, we already save S$300+ coz we got a 3700+(sandra's PR)
I'm also curious about those articles... but I think reason lies in many aspects:
1. they got a low-class CPUs or they choose to use MB which is not good at OC
2. our information are out-dated, they post their results around May or April, that time K8T800Pro/Nforce250GB MB for 754 are not popular and are expensive.
3.later they succeeded but many of them didnt make it public
4. we are lucky enough :)
I believe with sempron 3000+, the 754 A64 platform will become mainstream for AMD users, higher one is 939
at the end of 2005, or mid of 2006, we shall get a Dual Core K8 with 90nm for acceptable price, and bythen 64-bit platform is ready (OS, driver, application...)
or we get K9 directly :D
as Microsoft's DirectX plan, mid 2006 or early 2007 DX 10 will come out, with their new OS, longhorn. we change platform then :)
