Please post your Pentium D overclocks here. Specify your type of Pentium D (e.g 920) and what motherboard, and what cooling. :)

hello m8,

that is the premium version of my board,dual giga lan,more sata.more expensive.
i did have to up the voltage a tad.these boards let you go up in 0.01v increments so dont worry,just go up by .01 every time till it stabilizes.
these boards "apparently do crossfire",but the second slot only does x4.if you can afford it get that board,i'm sure this will do more but the temp went up to 46c on win at 4.1,i'm dying to know the max it will post at but the temp is a bit :mad: .i'm sure your chip will do well in that board as its a pressie and just a lower multi than mine,14x mine 15x.i dont see no reason it wont go mad for it tho' lol
stock mine is 15x multi,200 fsb,1.29-3 vcore wonder if it will do 300 fsb lol lol

So... you reckon I can get to 4.0GHz on the premium version?

Bearing in mind I'll be using stock cooling, because I dont have a high budget :(

i dont see why not,it's not gonna run any hotter than mine is it.it depends how fast your ram will run at mines at 902.you will probably need to use a divider to run it at what it will do.if you can i'd try and get some 667 or higher.you'll gain on the overall speed if your ram is running faster.that board will be like a breath of fresh air,i've had no probs with mine at all.i'm changing mine soon for one that supports conroe(core 2 duo).
this one-http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/en/news/newspop.php?pDOCNO=en_0606051
or this one-http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=248&model=1198&modelmenu=1
that one may be core compatible now.
look at this bad boy-http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2295&ProductName=GA-965P-DQ6 £187 tho' lol

I got a Pentium D 930 3.0GHz w/ stock cooling on an ASRock 775Dual-VSTA. I haven't tried an OC yet, but would like some input about stock temps. I'm running idle @ CPU=41c(105f) and mobo=33c(91f). Are these typical stock temps? Used Arctic Silver 5 for stock HSF install, but not sure what temps to expect. Anybody?

EDIT: BTW, I'm running Corsair Value DDR2 667 PC5300, what type of OC could I get with that?

by stock cooling do you mean the fan from the box??.if so your not gonna get much of a clock out of it.you can see what mine will do,but that is with an arctic pro.your 930 WILL clock tho' it depends on the clocking settings on your board.

edit:your ram should be okay,its corsair and its 667 so you have a good start with that ram.
my temp has settled to 40c idle on win,tv card and the net running.

Well, I'm talking about overclocking WHEN i get his board you see. My board at the moment (ASUS P5LP-LE) is "unoverclockable" you see? BIOS locked. Can't be flashed. NOTHING can be changed to alter anything. So I will buy that board and then I will overclock using that.

A person who finds a way to overclock MY motherboard is a God among men.

Amazing: 4++ ghz overclocks outta your Intel rig CPU's!

See subject-line/title:

To quote Darth Vader: "IMPRESSIVE... (most impressive)"

:)

See, I never had any luck o/c'ing Dual Pentium III 1ghz cpu's I had in an SMP rig (Abit VP-6), only got them up to 1152mhz (1.2ghz approximately)!

I also never had much luck o/c'ing my HyperThreaded Pentium IV @ 3.2ghz either (some small margin gained via FSB speedups only, I don't do it on that 2nd rig of mine anymore with o/c's though)...

* IMO & experience - The Intel Pentium III & Pentium IV are NOT great overclockers using air-cooling methods @ least!

(So, it is good to see that Intel has "flipped-the-script", & now Intel CPU's ARE good overclockers... on air no less it seems!)

APK

P.S.=> Or, are you guys using hydro-cooling, or "phase-change" cooling methods to achieve those overclock rates...? apk

Im guessing most air or liquid cooling.... Do they processers run really good BTW? Pentuim D, Im not much of a gooroo on these processers there probably gonna be my next one along with two 7900's, But these things runs good? Good prices? Good mobos? I have liquid cooling ect. as it is, I just want to know if these are worth getting isncei m upgrading the end of this year.

I think it's MORE about the Pentium "D" line, than anything

I know that Pentium III 1ghz cpu's & std. Pentium IV's (3.2ghz model) aren't great for overclocks...

(& I pulled EVERY trick in the book to get them higher, you just did not get much outta them using air-cooling (some, but not much, see above, maybe 10% on both rigs)).

* However, it appears these Pentium "D" units do very well in o/c's, bigtime... these guys are crossing 4++ ghz, no problem!

i'm sure this chip has more to go as well.it just seems to want to go higher and higher.ram was at 933 as well oMfg.are ye getting that board then m8?.

Do a google on pentium d overclocking, it's insane what people are doing with them:eek: Don't forget the 4 MEGABYTE L2 cache :rockout:

Motherboards, YES, they have amazing mobo's for Pentium D's like the ASUS Intel 955X P5WD2 Premium http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=184&model=493&modelmenu=1 . That is an overclocker's dream!

And prices, they couldn't be any better... they might as well be giving them away:D
I got my Pentium D 930 3.0GHz (Presler) for $173.50 (shipped! http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80851&prodlist=pricegrabber). It's doesn't get any better than this :cool:

i had an 805 before this 930,i could'nt get the best outta my ram tho'.this ram is good,i've had it at 1000mhz at 3.75ghz or summat.
i think the reason they clock ok is the 65nm core,i guess they dont need so much juice and definatly dont cook.i dont see why any presler cored cpu wont be a good clocker in the right board.you need pretty good ram for a 930 or you'd have to use a divider and have the chip fast and the ram slow.
thats the same as my board,mine just isnt the premium.same 955x chipset i think.i think the fsb goes to 450 apparently.i have mine at 280 not a bad jump from 200.

Tigger69, sounds about as "right/dead on" an explanation for Pentium "D" overclockability as any I have ever heard of... nice!

:)

* Probably explains why I was not able to get very much out of its predecessors in the std. Pentium IV 3.2ghz & its forebear, the Pentium III 1ghz cpu.

i have been reading some of the 930 overclocking threads from a search on google.my chip seems to do better than some others,on one thread,they said that the 930 they tested would only do 4ghz with 1.5v.mebbe mine is "special" lol.

is the 930 only on a b1 rev or are there some b0's too?.anyone who has a 930 can you look,i have seen a 920 on b0 but i dont know if the 930 is available on b0 too.

i'm gonna try it l8r and see what the highest it will do with stock cooling,i have only tried the vcore on 1.35 max at the moment.i dont really want to go much higher.

they certainly have changed it around,intels do now clock it seems..

Pentium D 930 3.0GHz stock voltage, stock cooling, 4.125GHz out of box. :rockout:

No B0's, B1 was the first release. There is supposedly a C1 that was released in June, but haven't seen any yet. There were some stability issues with the B1 thermal dissipation and lower power consumption settings, which of some were disabled in the B1. Supposedly they fixed all that for the C1 release.

"First batch of Presler CPUs (revision B1) have EIST feature turned off by microcode update because of stability issues. This affects only idle power consumption and thermal dissipation. Chips with working EIST will start shipping in Q2 2006. They will have different S-Spec number which can be found in Intel errata documentation, or here"
