"3.0Ghz Versus 2.6Ghz CPU"

Ok Ive got a little problem;

My 2.8 P4 will only hit 230 fsb ~ 3.2GHz , but I've got RAM capable of hitting ~277 fsb.

I know it means spending more money, but it keeps me happy and therefore worth it...

I want to replace it with either a 15 multiplier (3.0 GHz) or a 13 multiplier (2.6 GHz).

The 2.6 has advantage of being renowned for bad boy overclocks in the region of 1GHz and the bandwidth that would come with such an overclock would be awesome.

The 3.0 has the advantage of being able to achieve close to 4GHz but with limited bandwidth, the prices of both chips are fairly low.

Any thoughts on the better OC path to go down??

I just know these sorts of things...

Notorious Biggles, there you are! go into the general chat forum and then a thread under your name, i need to speak to you about something...

I'm happy for you. Temp isn't too bad, I see you ending up with watercooling in the next few months though.

Here's your challenge: to become the king of SL6Z5 overclocers, beat 3.8 GHz on 1.60 Volts. It's been done. Abit IC7, watercooled.

Allegedly the best O/C on one is 4191 MHz, 1.71 Volts, watercooled, on a modded P4P800.

Go tig!

o well just as long as it aint a celeron and is the 800mhz version you should have no need to worry

Sigh!! Ebay it is unless anyone shouts stop!! before mid-day tomorrow :-(

I just checked my Motherboard, and it doesn't support 800Mhz FSBs. Shame, otherwise I would have probably gone for it.

Yep... never had thermal paste on it either. :-)

Pritty good. What version, the 800Mhz FSB?

Well how does £65.00 sound + brand new Intel heatsink?
