Hello,
I'm thinking on trying how far can I overclock a Tualatin-S 1.4GHz. I already have a few processors but no good motherboard. At the moment I have one QDI with i815 chipset and FSB goes "only" up to 166MHz. That gives top speed of 1743MHz. Not bad, but I want more 😁
I'd want high FSB and easy vcore setup. Google finds these boards to be good for OC:
Asus TUSL2-C
Abit ST6
What do you guys recommend?
Also what are some top overclocks on air? I'd like to get near 2GHz 😉 I know that's impossible as I have only PC133 SDRAMs, maybe I find PC150 somewhere...
For my experience best tualatin's motherboard are: ( for overclocking proupose)
Asus TUSL2-C
Abit ST6-Raid
GIGABYTE GA-6OXET
Epox EP-3PTA
Anyway even with a bad board (for overclocking) you will reach 150-160mhz easily, the most important thing is to find a good batch.
So if i were you, i would try to buy a SL6BY tB1 Philippines.
Lots of tA1 are bad, really bad!. you can push them even at 1.85v or higher but they will go with instability around 150-155mhz on air, no one mhz more.
SDRAM called PC-150 or PC-166 are bad, it's a marketing way (these frequency aren't JEDEC's standard).
Brands like TONICOM, Mushkin during 2000-2001 selled some of these SDRAM but they are simply CAS 3, you will pay more money for nothing. in my experience all memory are able to archieve this score (150-160mhz but they are simply PC-133 CAS 3.
I've tested more than 50 pieces of them if i were you, i would try to find:
Mosel vitelic V54C3256804VDI7PC (you can push them at 160-170mhz with 2-2-2-5/ at 180-190mhz with 2-3-2-5/ at 200mhz 3-3-3-7)
Hynix HY57V28820AT-K (you can push them at 160-170mhz with 2-2-2-5 or over 200mhz with 3-3-3-7)
Qimondq chips ( you can push them at 180-185mhz with 2-2-2-5 or over 200mhz with 2-2-2-7)
