ROCK STABLE @ 1100Mhz " Article Info Overclocking AMD's Thunderbird and Duron Processor -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Created: June 23, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By: Thomas Pabst -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Category: CPU Guide -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary: AMD's new SocketA processors are even better than we all thought. Changing the clock multiplier is not too hard to do and the clock speeds reached are more than promising. Duron 700 reaches 950 MHz; Athlon/Thunderbird can do 1.1 GHz! Overclocking Thunderbird and Duron As soon as I had found out about the overclocking features of the Asus A7V I started to run Duron at higher speeds. I was very impressed with the result! I've got four Duron processors, one 650 MHz type and three Duron 700 types. After raising the voltage to some hefty 1.85 V all four Durons reached 950 MHz without a glitch!!! The results with Thunderbird weren't too shabby either. My 1 Ghz TBird reached 1.1 GHz, also at 1.85 V. More than that was unfortunately not possible, but the 1.1 GHz were rock stable. I ran all my benchmarks with it, including the usual 3-times Sysmark2000 run which takes no less than an hour. We are also in the possession of a pre-release Athlon/Thunderbird 800. This CPU would only reach 900 MHz reliably, but that could be due to its pre-release status. I personally believe that most Duron or Thunderbird processors will reach a stable 900 to 950 MHz in clock speed. " tomshardware.com System setup tomshardware.com Milo
