So what week is it from....alot depends on that.

From memory weeks 8 or 9 were good and week 19/ 20 also.

What is a week? I'm sorry but i don't know what you're talking about pitA^N0rf.

Week number signifies exactly which week of which year the CPU was manufactured.

eg 0312 would mean 2003 week 12.

This is on the 2nd line of the code.

It should be OK at 1.8v, generally speaking if you keep it below 1.85v then you shouldn't damage the CPU. If you start heading over that then you can shorten the life of the CPU as it can start burning transistors out.

pita norf. thae announce date of my cpu is june 10 2002.

what sort of cooling would i need to take this processor to 1.85 volts?

If your CPU is a DLT3C then it will have been manufactured in 2003.

With regards to the cooling, it really depends on the overclock you're trying to otain. Given the fact thats its a DLT, then I think the worst it could do it 2gig true speed.

Ask others for advice on heat sinks as i've been water cooling for the last year and haven't checked which are the in vogue coolers (maybe Aero 7 ?)

With regards to voltages I'm from the school of thought where the thinking is that the life cycle of my CPU will be 2 years max - it either dies or I upgrade, given this I don't really give much thought into safe voltages, I mean I'm an overclocker do I really want to keep this CPU for 5 / 10 years that it was designed for ? I'm currently running 1.95v through my CPU and have done so for the last 7 months at 2.5 gig on H2o

I would be very surprised indeed if you CPU failed to hit 2ghz, even with a crappy HS

Would buying an ABIt NF7-s, dual channel pc 3500 memory and a good heatsink for the sole intent of overclocking be practical with my cpu? The mobo, RAM and heatsink will cost a couple hundred dollars so it seems like it might not be worth it?

[conan]

What mobo and memory do you have at the moment Paul? PC3500 shouldn't be neccessary unless you intend to go much above a 200fsb. PC3200 is fine for a 200fsb and if you get a good brand such as corsair/kingston/geil then you should get a bit more out of it.

Remember, a 200fsb is a very good overclock for a XP1700+ which was intended to run at a 133fsb. I had mine at 10x200. It would hit 10x213 but the temps were a bit high. I could hit 10x200 on the stock AMD HSF running at 1.6v vcore and 2.7v mem voltage.

I have an ecs k7s5a motherboard which can only be OC'ed with if you have a cheepoman bios. And it will have very limited OCing options anyway. I need a new mobo. Not just for OCing but for hardware compatibility as well. And i only have 256 MB of PC 2100 RAM.

[conan]

Well the Abit is probably one of the best for overclocking although I have 2 Asus A7N8X Dlx mobo's. The voltage options aren't as high as the abit but it will still go up to 1.85v in the bios. It would be best to decide what features you need on the mobo then go from there. Depending on the qualkity of your ram you may be4 able to increase the fsb, but if not with an Nforce2 mobo your CPU will be multiplier inlocked so you could still overclock it without changing the ram. I guess it's down to how much you want to overclock and how much dinero you have to spend

What heatsink should i buy. A peltier or water cooling system won't do much good because the cpu can run at high voltages on air and anything above around 1.8 volts will damage the cpu despite the temperature.

TBH I would'nt go for a pelt since the gains you will see wont be worth the money IMO.

As per my previous post the voltages levels you run are entirely upto you but do note that high overclocks and low voltages do not reconcile with each other in the world of overclocking.

Also when I was asking about the week and year of manufacture of your CPU (easily descernable) well there was a reason for that, the week 8 or 9's DLT's were not very voltage tolerant and any voltage above 1.85 would just lockup the machine.

I learned this the hard way because I went into the BIOS and upped the Vcore to 1.875 and was at the same time adjusting the FSB settings and it locked up half way through the saving process and resulted in a corrupt BIOS

How do I find out what week my cpu is? Can I download a program that will tell me this information? I don't think I will need 1.85 volts or higher. When I get the motherboard and the memory then I will try 1.75 volts. Seems like a safe overvolt if you have good cooling.

only way is to read the code off of the cpu.
