have you seen This List ?

hey
it was the best I could do on short notice

DUDE, long time no speak!

Hey i've been busy. Working a lot and in my spare time, playing WoW and other games. I finally got my WoW review out over at Macologist. Took months to get that one done.

Funny thing about my fans. OWC ships one with the upgrade, but the connector doesn't fit in the VRM spot despite the fact it is made for it. The connector actually I think is just slightly bigger than the socket. Now since OWC didnt advertise it shipped with a fan, I ordered another fan for only about $6 from OWC. Now this fan did fit and worked but instead of putting it in my Cube and replacing my GigaBluefan, I spliced the wires and got my Bluefan back on the proper connector (the old connector snapped off and I had it rigged thru the onboard 5V socket). So now I got my Giga fan back up and running nice again along with my new CPU.

Hey if those 19x or 20x settings ever are found i'd gladly try 1.9 or 2Ghz on this. So far heatlevels haven't been that bad. You do notice the performance from 1.5-1.8Ghz. At 1.5Ghz it didn't feel much faster than my original 600Mhz 7410, but at 1.8...its now feeling more like an upgrade. I'd post benchmarks but I got some HD problems impacting speed so at the moment its like things are trying to run faster but the disk really needs an overhaul. I think its time I got a new Diskwarrior.

hey, i just got this cpu here for my da/466.  man its awsome.  and i'd like to try some oc'ing myself.  has anyone else done it with this chip?  i do know what settings i need for the higher mutiplyers because of the paper that came with the cpu, but it only lists the speeds for those setings for 100mhz bus macs.  and how can i find out what temp its running at, and when its too hot?

btw, just so you know, i am a x86 experienced oc'er, but i know very little about ppc oc'ing.


<EDIT>  i did find this which lists the speeds.  but i still don't know what is too much as for heat and stabilty.  so if there's any that have done it let me know.

so you're telling me that 2ghz is out of the question, right? )~

i guess after a couple months i might up it to 1.6, thanks.

how high would a 7457 that is clocked at 1.2Ghz go up to? its a powerlogix dual processor card on a 133 mhz bus. the ambient room temp is about 60°F, but the processor deosnt have a temp hookup so i cant tell what it is.
currently (the 1.2Ghz PIII in the same room in a pizzabox case never goes over 130°F(cpu) 90°F(chassis))

oh and before you ask, the pc runs fah, winxp (i needed to be able to use the networking bridge feature), and a VPN server so that i can access it with my mac. basically, its purpose is to act as a wireless access point, and to run fah.
