What Windows do you like?

BC.....i dont believe for a minute that 2600 is doing 9-12 minutes AVERAGE.....there are some small WU ive had that are that fast but........my fastest box is a 2800+ oc'ed to 2.3gig with ddr400 and i average ruffly a hour with that


as a matter afact i just checked my 2600+ and its at about 1:10 to 1:15 a WU......but take that with a grain of salt to its got a dying HD in it :cry:

Thanks... you have 2nd'd my calculations and that other person is 'full of something'... lol

PS: I wish I could OC as much as you guys do... I can't.. and I work with this stuff... I must be missing the obvious.. where are you OC'ing it? The cpu is locked. Are you using MB switches / jumpers? If so, I will install the dip switches on mine and see what happens... it manually adjusts the main multiplier... I should be able to go to 2.37G with no trouble, but using BIOS, that does'nt work.

ya mine are locked. Im just doing it FSB and upping the voltage a bit.
I suppose i could do the wire/pencil trick, but to tell ya the truth im afraid of messing up my chip, and if i do i cant afford to replace it right now :oops:
Biggest problem i found was keeping it cool enuff. so i bought a thermeltake 11? (the solid copper one) and that made a huge difference.
Plus i moved my boxes to the side of the room where the AC blows directly on them

Weiner,
Did you use AS-5 as well with the copper core?

If so, remember it takes 200 hours for AS-5 to cure... AND ... it takes
several "hot to room temp and back to hot" cycles to cure. The
cycles are LONG cycles of hot (so it can spread thin), then just long
enough for the CPU to be completely room temp...


Each time you do that, it will drop.... Overall... you will get 2C - 6C
as AS-5 cures in addition to the heatsink .


As for the math... I am willing to help. Tell me what you need.

yes i used AS5 you can get it alot cheaper offa e-bay i found.
ive got it running now at 38c with the room temp at 80f.... i think thats not bad?
other boxes oc'ed just a lil on fsb.... not enuff to need a voltage bump and still ran prime95 for 24 hours with no flakyness.....they are all under 45c with Thermaltake coolers that are alum with copper inset

Sounds GREAT to me... super job! Yes, AS-5 is cheaper on the web.
I got mine at Fry's. You might FSB bump a bit now. If in the process, you Vdc bump like 0.05 that is right on target. Sometimes 0.075, but VERY rare... only when the supply is over taxed. But that is also dangerous because it could spike and burn down the CPU too. I would up the supply or back the FSB back down if that happens.

My "room" temp (I have to use internal ambient because of HD's etc) is 86F and my CPU is 40C. I'm also at 220 FSB.... I'ld say you are good to go and just make sure you cure it right .. it will fall a little more until finally done.

About my problem everything is ok now.
Thanks BC. :D

Good to hear it's all running... when you wrote ver 5... I knew right away.... yyou will like 6. lots more features.

Version 5 works well under Win Me.

Version 5 works well under Win Me.

so was it product conflict or version under that OS or both?

6 works good under everything.
