Socket A mobo

You'll need more than air to hit 3GHz, and you won't be able to do it even on an NF7-S v2.0 (i used to have one as well) without the northbridge volt mod. Stock voltage...no way.

I think my best stable score was inbetween 2.65-2.7GHz out of my XP-M 2600+ on air with the volt mod (pencil method). And it only ran stock for a short while, then the motherboard crapped out. Probably too much heat for the northbridge. It was actively cooled with a copper HS and 40mm fan, but probly needed water.
 
I didnt do any mods to the board and I had 2.5-2.6 on air stable. That chip rocks and the board is stable too, I loved it.
 
Why is everyone fighting over weather he can OC to 3ghz? Why does it matter? He is trying to buy a socket a mobo.....thats it.....


Am i right?
 
Yeah, but he claims he can get 3GHz when theres not really a chance of being able to do it with just air cooling.

OH WELL!?????? If you donjt think he can, then maybe he cant, but what is the point of fighting over it? let his WTB ad, stay at a WTB add, and everyone stop acting so dumb.
 
What's the max northbridge voltage on that epox board you're getting? Personally I'd think maybe you can hit 3GHz running a large multi and normal FSB with proper cooling. But low multi's and a high FSB on an epox might prove deadly, my old EP-8RDA3+ would never do past 230FSB and it had the exact same chipset, similiar board all around infact. The NF7-S was pushing 265FSB, but if you can't find one anymore i understand, no one wants to let go of them lol.
 
Just a ?, why do you always have to do better or have better then people you know? :P My cousin grew out of that phase when he was 12 or 13. I cant wait till my GTX comes.

Exactly 4W4K3, Im not selling mine for a long time, same goes for the Voodoo2 SLI I have and original Voodoo1 card.
