Duron 650 o'ced to 1GHz on A7V.

[otheos]

I appologise for double posting this (also posted it as an answer to another thread) but I see no other Duron o'c results.
----------------------------------------

My Duron 650 on the A7V oc'ed to 1000MHz (10x100, 1.8V).
I use the Alpha PAL35 HS and YT fan (I have some tips how to remove the pads if you want, otherwise great cooler, but there are some tricks....).

One issue: My 300Watt PSU could NOT handle 4 HD's 4 CD's 6 Fans the mobo and 4 PCI cards, I had to take the fans elsewhere. ASUS says the mobo needs a minimum of 235Watt, so 200-250Watt PSU's won't work.

Also, there are versions of the A7V with multiplier dipswitches and without. Obviously the latter are not of great use.

Finally some Durons are locked some are unlocked, etc etc etc.


Temps, 40-45C, but I cannot find a software cooler that works. Any ideas?

Good luck

Some benchmarks:

Sandra 2000

@ 650

CPU
1794
886

Multi
2185
2999

Mem (133MHz CAS2)
395
480

@ 1000

CPU
2729
1399

Multi
3386
4623

Mem (133 CAS2)
441
532


It feels and benchmarks faster than the Athlon Classic 550 @ 900.

This gives me inspiration, as I am getting a Duron 600 on a Asus A7v soon http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Szech - To tell if its unlocked, you must look at the 'L1' bridges on the CPU. If the 4 of them connect, then its unlocked, If they dont, then the connects have been laser burned, and the Multiplier is locked.

Very nice job there!!!

I just wished I had the money to get me one of those little critters.

Have to save for it a little time I guess.

AuraEdge, is that new info on multiplier locking/unlocking? Do you have a link? Otheos, are all your L1 bridges connected?
