Wow, something I can actually help with. I think I may be the luckiest
overclocker around. I have a CPU from the CPU tester guys that fails some
temperature tests (like its fails at 90C but passes at 85C) and is supposed
to be running at 533/600, but I called up my friends in the EV6 lab, got a
heatsink from that sucker (much larger heatsink/fan combo), and slapped it
on my EV56. The sucker has been running at 667MHz for over a year now
without any problems. The new heatsink is about 3" by 3" by 3". " = inches.
remember 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
This is accomplished by changing the dip switches/jumpers on the
motherboard. I personally have an LX board where the jumpers are near the
power supply part of the board. My board counts up in binary, but jumper on
= 0, jumper off = 1. I guess the PLL has asserted low inputs. Anyway, the
main issue is heat!!! Look at the folks at Kyrotech. They have an Alpha
21164 running at 767MHz with there cooling technology!!! All I can say is
damn!!
Well, thats it for now, enjoy!!!
