Picked this up recently from Intel...
EPoX 8RDA3+
2x256 Crucial RAM (DDR400)
Intel Pentium 4 (Barton, just your average desktop part🙂 )
Cooler GlacialTech Igloo 2520 (2000RPM +/-10%)
At stock speeds, I can undervolt to 1.45V. Haven't pushed it lower. Why bother when it sits at 38°C under full load if the ambient case temp is 34°C?...
Max overclock hit 11x215MHz (2365MHz) @ 1.8V, with memory voltage bumped slightly to 2.63V. Rock solid. Temps peak at 46°C with a 36°C case temp
At 3200+ (2200MHz), it runs on 1.75V)
I'm happy. Running undervolted at stock speeds for now... don't really need a space heater in my room right now🙂
The motherboard is the real star here. Top-tier kit. It even came with 8 heatsinks for the CPU and memory MOSFETs... pretty slick. Plus an extra screwdriver... all the cables and brackets you could need... Great board.
So there it is. Just bragging a bit... maybe not groundbreaking results compared to some others, but this was basically "out of the box" (installed on the first try based on theory🙂 ) so I'm feeling good😁
Did you actually stress test that 2365 MHz with Prime95? Hard to believe it's stable at 1.8 V, especially if you need 1.75V just to hit 2200....
