[olug] unlocked athlon goodness

[Hungate Jim]

That's not bad, I have my Duron 700 running at 100Mhz, it's not stable if I
up the FSB with KT133 chipset.
As a side note, I picked up a Thermaltake Dragon Orb 3 yesterday from
Computers 2 Go in Bellevue for $24.50. It dropped my CPU temp by 11 degrees
celcius! I was using the "stock" HSF that came with the CPU and I have a
couple of extra case fans. It was running at 44, now it's running at 33.

Have you found a good temperature monitoring program?
I use Mother Board Monitor in Windows, but I haven't found an equivalent
program for Linux.

The box said "Requires Windows95 or better", so I installed Linux

At the meeting last night I asked a question concerning L1 bridges which
didn't get an answer but from what I've read I think they shipped me an
unlocked AXIA T-bird.  Which apparently isn't as uncommon as you might
think.

Anyway, I said I'd post my O/C results to the list so I will. The FSB
would do 155Mhz (up from 133Mhz) and the core would do 1460Mhz (up from
1200Mhz), but they wouldn't do it together and weren't totally stable
(some drive read errors).  It has been totally stable at 144Mhz FSB and
1440 core (10x multiplier), so that's what I'm running it at right now.

It hasn't choked yet on 7 hrs of continuous kernel compile loops combined
with Q3A demo001 loops so I'd say it's pretty stable.

Bottom line, yes virginia, there is a santa claus, and he delivers via
FedEx.
