What were the first 166 MHz FSB fully capable motherboards (both CPU and RAM officially supported) and when did they appear on the market? According to the Wikipedia page the the first chipsets to have such features were: - VIA KT333CE (April 2002) - nForce2 (July 2002) - SiS 746FX (August? 2002) …

Thats a good trick. Thank you. Will it work also with non-SSD disk? With HDD? Yes, but the results will probably have smaller differences in performance since normal HDD drivers are slower than SSD ones. Maybe I've found the answer. But I have it only theoreticaly. .... In the case you are …

It seems there is other way, than the one described above,(besides using the oscilloscope) to check the PCI dividers ;) I have found a differnt way to check if there are proper PCI dividers by using an external PCI SATA RAID CONTROLLER :D I've used ASUS TUSL 2-C for testing, which is known for …

Nice 3dmark 2001 results. My best socket 370 score was 12105 : epox 3pta / celeron 1.1a sl6ca @ 1793 (163fsb) / radeon 9800 pro. Thank you :) This mobo can score a lot on almost every graphics card :) I think the best option would be to run this configuration with GeForce 6800 ULTRA :) - then, even …

Just a small update! I've managed to run a different batch of that ECS P6S5AT at 166 MHz and Tualatin at CL2 ! (2-2-2-6 exactly) but there are some bad side effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRKR7M4D408 You can see lots of artifacts. When I switch to CL 2,5 the problem is gone... I think that …

“TualGod” project is, in a way, a continuation of the fastest socket 370 motherboard thread I started in 2018. This time I wanted to focus only on the 5 best chipset for socket 370 based platforms and present the way they perform when overclocked to 166 MHz. I will be comparing those overclocked …

Haha, wait till I overclock it a little bit my friend 😉 here's the result when I OCed it to the same values as you 😜 Still The momory results will be better when I lower the timings to 2-2-2-5 :] The next step is to run this baby at 200 MHz 😁 😁 😁 I will improve my results on WinXP later 😉

Another 5 MHz of FSB, another few hundred points. The 6800GT is slightly overclocked, at 385/540. This particular card is a pretty bad overclocker, but it's enough to push this machine over the 14K mark.

Nice project ! One question... is there a reason why you did not overvolt Coppermines beyond 1.85v ? Thanks ;) Yes, the answer is simple - my motherboards limited me :D There was no such option to go beyond that, and I did not want to make any mods... Besides, even if it was possible to go higher I …

Thanks for all the comments! I think that it's pointless to buy PC150 and PC166 stuff... especially after this project ;) Almost EVERY 7ns stick will reach 166 MHZ at CL 3-3-3-6/7. And it's sometimes really hard to find one that WON'T run at 150 MHz.... If you REALLY need one with a sticker no …

Ecs P6s5at seems to be a decent oc platform. I recommend Abit ST6 Raid as well, watercooling setup as well as delid that nasty tualatin heatsink and remove thermal glue. I personally use cusl2-c bp with pentium III 1.2Ghz 512kB cache not for oc, but stable purist gaming. (GeFore 2 Ti rulez!) …

Great results, congratulations! Do you have any news about the modified bios, any progress has been made? Unfortunatelly, BIOS is not ready yet... and it will be VERY hard to do ANYTHING about it without the DataSheet for this mobo, or SiS 635T specification – those documents seem to be lost or …

The aim of this project was to find out how well Pentium III processors overclock. I needed to select some Tualatin CPUs that overclock at least to 166 MHz. Also, I wanted to find out if there are any Coppermine CPUs that would be able to reach 200 MHz and more. Motivation: There is one project that …
