[FS] $180,OBO - Pentium 4 478 3GHz 'E' Overclocks to 4.2GHz @ 1.475v

[W2hCYK]

$180, OBO

This Pentium 4 3GHz Prescott can be overclocked to 4GHz air, and 4.2GHz water cooling @ 1.475v and 1.5v respectively. I was able to reach 4.2GHz on my XP-90C with a 120mm too.

It has about a total of 3 or 4 months run time.

Not a good lapping job, but it did improve temps by 3c on my air cooling.

Scores 7372 in 3dMark05 with an X800Pro w/ 16pipes.

Heres some pics.

***Drools over conroe*** I'm going to have to buy a celeron D after this sells, and live with that for a while, i need $ for a new camera lens for my vacation to bermuda this summer.

Scratch that... wow.. bad luck... I turned it on this morning and it popped and died.. why!?!?!?!?

good thing it didnt sell.. :-P

Mods, please lock or erase, thanks!

[NamesDontMatter]

wow are you kidding? That's terrible man, you keep killing your hardware.

[W2hCYK]

I know its really a pain in the ass. :-/ The video card was my fault, but this hadnt been running very long, and was completely stable. Strange thing is is that it was running @ 3GHz when it happened. :-/ ugh..

[drade]

Thats very strange.....

[W2hCYK]

I guess it wore itself out from the 4GHz, ehhh.. I feel like crap, $200 down the drain in like... 8 months time... ahhh..

It wasnt 3 months new, it was about 8 or 9 months with a total on time of 3 months.

overclocking does kill the life remember that

[W2hCYK]

Yes i know, ehhhh oh well..

*goes and sits in a corner with his burnt processor.

Would overclocking cause a burnt mark on the bottom?

[drade]

Hmm Id think thatd have to do mauybe with temps BUT IM NOT SURE, so I just think it could be temps or the mobo acting up, either mobo temps mostly mobo actually thats just me, IM NOT SURE :laugh: but thats my gues...


( I dont like giving advice that isnt right, i dont wanna end up on that scale on bikr's thread lol)

That looks like a real nice P4, now if only I had a P4 motherboard, DDR2, a nice cooler, $180, and that thing wasn't broken, I'd be PMing you for final negotiations lol.

Probably not.... something weird there. Just curious, how'd you fry your videocard?

[W2hCYK]

I screwed it up when I was soldering on a Vresistor. that one was my fault.. :-( that card was amazing too... 7372 in 05...
