A 1600 MHz FSB is not actually supported in DDR2 motherboards, but some of the board manufacturers added it anyway. The stiker extreme should be able to hit 1700 MHz so trying to pin mod the board to do what it can already do is probably not worth the effort, but that's up to each individual to decide. I used to screw around with pencil mods in the early days because it could unlock the clock multiplier, and a few graphics cards to unlock disabled hardware to make it a higher model version, but for no other reason. I've even reflashed some graphics cards to a higher model and so far I've been lucky. With the right hardware I've found no reason to pin mod. My current FSB settings are 1708.2 MHz which is more than enough jolt for my money and without altering the board.
which motherboard and CPU do you have if you dont mind me asking?
cause if you got 1700mhz fsb on a quad, you got skilliez!

i really don't wanna start a new thread(very short question) for this so here i go:
on E-Bay, i sold a motherboard last week. The buyer received the board on Tuesday....now he still hasn't given me feedback (i am expecting Positive)....i sent him a message on Wednesday: "Please leave feedback at your convenience".....no reply.....is this normal behavior among buyers or is he playing a sick game?

I have and Asus PQ5 Deluxe and it is also been tested with over 10 hours of dual prime95 and over 10 hours with Orthos and both times it was stopped by me and both times it was stable.
I don't have a quad I have an E8400 dual core, but if I did have a quad I would still get pretty high with this board. The Intel chipsets are genrally better for it than Nvidia chipsets although the new 790i has improved on that.

maybe he is waiting to install the board so won't do a feedback til it is done. what i buy off ebay, mostly plastic model warships, i give feedback once i open the package & look at the model.

I don't shop Ebay much anymore just too many scam artists, but I suppose feedback is really up to the individual although it would be nice. If they don't respond withing the allotted time you can always mention that in their feedback and assure everyone that the item was delivered promptly.

@Sophocles
nice overclock!
@ddp and Sophocles
i guess i will just wait for his response.....well, as long as i don't get a negative feedback, i will be happy
i did the "Delivery Confirmation" thing (tracking # by USPS), does that help if this turn out to be a scam?
thanks,

Yes I remember when that happened to me back in 2003 or early 2004. It was the last promotion I had before they started using the number of posts to promote. Keep posting they way that you've been posting lately and it won't be long until you reach addict status.

lol
i never posted much on this thread until this quad was being a PITA...
never had sooo many problems with overclocking a CPU b4....i mean, even my P4 3ghz (socket 478), overclocked to 3.8ghz on an ECS motherboard!
i have another question for you guys....i have a P4 2ghz (100mhz fsb x 20 multi)...is there a pin mod to mod the cpu to a 133mhz fsb x 20 multi or am i just dreaming?

Not on a 65 NM processor which can easily handle 1.45-1.5 vcore with decent cooling (not water).

my final clock (this is staying....cause it uses "only" 1.36v idle and 1.328v load)
in my opinion, this is very very good....
It looks very good! How's the temps doing? For some reason I though you had a Q9450, which is limited to a lower core voltage. The Q6700 can easily handle 1.40v without problems!

i have a F2 stepping E2140 with a VID of 1.325, and i have OCed mine from 1.6GHz to 3.0 with only 1.35 on the Vcore, and 1.4 on the NB. im sure if i took it to 1.4, i could get to 3.2

yea the duals are easy to overclock....
i got my e6300 (1.86ghz stock) to 3.1ghz with 1.15v...jaw dropping...huh?
and it was 24/7 stable at those setting for a good 10 months (till i upgraded to this q6700...)

my cousin has a q9450 and i was trying to help him overclock...(we both bought our processors at the same exact time...him a q9450 and me a q6700)
i set the voltage to 1.45v in the BIOS but it drops .09v for some reason even w/o a load? so, it actually "only" needs the 1.36v to run stable at that speed...
IDLE: the cpu temp is 24 degrees C and the Core temps are: 45 - 46 - 43 - 40 (lol, this CPU needs a good lapping...maybe later on)
LOAD (100%): CPU temp: 41, Core temps: 61 - 61 - 58 - 60 (some times Core 0 and Core 1 go up to 68)

Sup baltekmi!?!?!,
If you have a second hard drive in the computer that has windows installed:
-> Start
-> My Computer
-> Right Click on the Hard Drive you want to format
-> Click Format
-> Select which File System you want and set the allocation unit size to "default allocation size"
-> select a name for your drive
-> if you are keeping the drive, select "quick format", if you are selling / giving away the drive DO NOT SELECT quick format, none of the other options should be selected either....
-> click "Start"
If you don't have another hard drive with Windows installed:
Use the driver CD that came with your Hard Drive (Boot from the CD during POST) and follow the On-Screen instructions...
If you have any more questions regarding this topic or any other
topic, please ask me and I would be happy to help.
thanks,
-im1992

im1992,
I think Baltekmi has a boot sector virus. He formated the drive and installed XP-Pro on it and it wouldn't allow him to install his programs because he can't get rid of the old registry, which shows the programs already installed. You can re-format and re-install XP and it keeps coming back. I've had 2 like that in the last two weeks and the only cure was to completely wipe the drive with Acronis Disk Cleanser or Killdisk and start over!
Best Regards,
Russ
