Hey, I decided to wait for the holiday rush to cool down before sending that CPU off. It was sent today, and you should see it Wednesday/Thursday...<br><br>Apologies for the delay!<br>Mr Toast<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :busy --><img src=http://www.k6plus.com/siteart/emoticons/smash.gif ALT=":busy"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub70.ezboard.com/bk6plus67153.s ... rtoastz>Mr Toastz</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.ezboard.com/ezgfx/gicons/black_ball.gif" BORDER=0> at: 1/6/03 7:34:41 pm<br></i>

Because I couldn't just leave well enough alone....

Post by His Royal Majesty King V »

All,<br><br>Well, the CPU just arrived today, and I stuck it in my main system (listed below with the K6-III 333@350).<br><br>Voltage the same at 2.2V core, and the FSB has always been 100MHz.<br><br>So I get the settings for 4.5 . . and 5.0. I figure, what the hell, I'll go with 5.0 first.<br><br>Boots up into 98lite at 500MHz, and I'm currently, as I type this, almost halfway through BurnInTest v2.1's MMX test, running at 100% duty cycle for 15 minutes.<br><br>If it works fine, I'll try for a half hour or so, and see how it goes. If *that* works, I may give it a shot at 550MHz, though I'd guess it'd be unlikely to boot at that speed without upping the core voltage (something I have NO intention of doing)<br><br>Then of course, the run for a few days of typical, normal, everyday light use to see if anything weird happens for no reason at all.<br><br>Will keep you all posted.<br><br>Any other suggestions? I know to try the MMX test at 100%, but anything else while I'm thinking of these? Will the regular "Maths" test turn up anything with the burn-in?<br><br>---------------------<br>UPDATE:<br><br>Ran 3 consecutive 15-minute 100% duty cycle MMX tests. Trial version only allows up to a 15 minute test at once. No MMX errors. About a 15 second delay between the 1st and 2nd run, and about a minute or so between the 2nd and 3rd run (I stepped away from the computer for a while).<br><br>500MHz seems quite fine for this processor. I tried 550, but it wouldn't boot. Simply a blank screen and a few error-code beeps.<br><br>Now just to see I guess how it does in the next few days.... <p>--------------------<br>FIC PA-2013 2.0 E-O036, K6-2+ 450 @ 500 1.9V<br><br>FIC PA-2013 2.0 E-O036, K6-III 333 @ 350 2.2V<br><br>Acer Quasi-proprietary Mid-Tower with P-II 266</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub70.ezboard.com/bk6plus67153.s ... ykingv>His Royal Majesty King V</A> at: 1/8/03 4:23:40 pm<br></i>

good to hear the cpu works pretty well. I'm sick, so I'll get plenty of rest (letting everyone know that I'm unavailable for a bit). <p></p><i></i>

Why do people still use BurnInTest v2.1's MMX test? I thought they made a new version and said that it was a bug in the old version that made the mmx problems. Anyways who uses mmx nowadays?! the best test you could do is pcmark in a loop and sandras burn in wizard in a loop for 3 hours, if it lasts that it will handle anything <p>vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv <br>Athlon XP 1600+@1.87ghz(10.5x177) <br>Crucial PC2700 Cas2 fastest settings <br>Epox 8k9a2+(kt400) <br>Radeon 8500@280/340 <br>Sound Blaster Live <br>2xWD 20gb 7200 RPM raid 0 setup <br>1xWD 20gb 7200 RPM <br>16x10x40 Yamaha burner <br>52x Asus CD-ROM <br></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub70.ezboard.com/bk6plus67153.s ... e>ibLuE</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.timeflys.org/images/dancer.gif" BORDER=0> at: 1/10/03 3:06:05 pm<br></i>

The 333 will be up for grabs soon...

Post by Mr Toastz »

I finally located that K62+ 450, and as soon as Mulvihill gets it, we shall proceed on the 333 giveaway (with a new thread). I'm guessing the new contest will start in about a week... <p></p><i></i>

Wow, the burnintest thread will never die huh?<br><br><br><br>2.1 was the *only* version that *definitely* detected problems with the k6+ chips.<br><br>Later versions couldn't do it. Earlier versions couldn't do it. No one really ever came up with a good explanation as to why.<br><br>Oddly, an almost identical thread regarding the k7s5a motherboard vis-a-vis the program memtest86 sprang up about a year later. The test was detecting real errors in the motherboard, yet there was still a very vocal crowd saying the program must have been at fault. <p></p><i></i>
