The high FSB Club - is your hardware still going strong?

[spirits247]

OK, grabbed a cheap second hand locked 1500 XP and it’s been a bargain! J

Slapped it in and running on a 150 FSB at default (1.75) voltage, with Crucial 2100 RAM set at 2.6V. That’s 1.33@1.50 hassle free. This chip will probably do 1600+ before it max’s out. Kind if reminds me of those Duron 600’s that would do 900+.

It’s been the easiest oc every! Temps are all fine.

How many of you have been running high FSB without issues for long periods of time? Just need reassuring it’s safe(ish)

Share you experiences - good and bad.

Ive been running 166fsb on my P4- and 198fsb on my XP 1600~ they are still running.... after a few months...

[MiGGinZ]

been running 179mhz FSB (180) for 6months, no probs yet.

(every setting shows up as 1mhz more in benchie progs)

[Allan]

Mine runs fine @ 172 MHz FSB if I use the default 10.5 multiplier.

180 fsb with corsair 2100 c2.5
got more and higher rated ram coming in a few weeks.this has been running for over a month now at this speed.

no stability problems,as of yet. i do get some hdd corruption with my old maxtor after i try 181fsb,but thats coming out this week for wd 7200's w/raid 0 ,should clear that up.
my goal is 200 fsb @c2

[Random Nonsense]

Er does 150 count? (limit of my mobo and enough to prevent my memory running CAS2 reliably! though i think thats the boards fault)

[NoStra]

My hardware is going very strong....

XP1800(tbred)+@2800+ with 8k5a2+

[stigweed]

170FSB. Had problems with HD damage around 155-160 but at 16 the 1/5 divider kicks in and brings the pci abck to spec. Solid as a rock now.

[WyrmMaster]

166ish with no 1/5 divider. No problems that i am aware of :P

[piccoLEW]

i dont got an xp but my athlon 1333 is running nicely at 1405 i'm thinking about unlocking the multiplier, which makes me wonder why you havnt unlocked you XP's yet
they got a video of how to do it at tomshardware.com somewhere

I've got an AXP AUIGA T-bred 1800+ @ 1.92GHz 1.85v w/vmodding on the 8-KHA+. 160*12. Using CL2.5 PC2100 DDR @ 2.8v (corsair C2 400MHz will come in soon)... very happy! 2 months with all PCI slots filled no prob.

Have been running 200MHz FSB on my KX7(40MHz PCI) for ~5months, and before I was running 200MHz FSB on my KR7A(50MHz PCI) for 4 months, and NEVER had a problem on either, It's so stable

[Holst]

Ive had my system/s above 170fsb on various boards (8kha+, 8k3a+ 8RDA+) for over a year now.

I killed some Crucial 2100 by using 3.2v

Ive had some HDD corruption from time to time, but I allways keep a ghost.

I dont think ive killed anything from running high FSB alone.
