Day
One
(Well, I guess
the frost means it's working.... I hate to think
how much water
will form when we turn the peltiers off tho....)

300a --> 504MHz
:(
Unfortunately
my (koen's) PC66 SDRAM just won't go over 112MHz. The 300a at 464
is a lock. 504 is a no-go. Bugger. It'll POST and boot
windows, but it's not stable enough to run full time. Doesn't matter, that
300a has served me well, i'll retire it to the server pc now i think.
433 --> 650Mhz
Rock!
After a bit
of dicking around, it seems 650MHz will be a likely permanent solution.
With both Peltiers running and sub 10degrees C water in the jacket, 650
with L2 latency at 10 is as stable as. We retire for the night satisfied
with our own brilliance :)

433 --> 433
No go?!?!?!
Fuck. For some
reason i can't get the CPU to even POST at 433@2.0V with the intel retail
HSF anymore. The BH6 just beeps at me. God i hate that beep.
I jiggle everything to make sure it's not a loose CPU or vid card.
Still won't POST. I go to bed thinking i've just fried 140 dollars
worth of silicon....
Day Two:
(Screen grab you
say!?! too easy, we prefer the annoyance
and ugliness
only a photo of your monitor can give! :))
update:there
you go, a nice capture for you. bloody whingers.

433 --> 728MHz
Yeah!
I try the 433
again when i wake up. Without touching anything i power the system
up, waiting for the hated beeps. Nothing but the click of my cheap
monitor powering up. WTF? it's working! It beeps once
and continues to load win2000. I feel like i've just won the fucking
lotto. Thank christ for that.
After some time
for the CPU to get back to normal (sounds bizarre i know, but my 300a did
the same thing. After first running it at 450 for a while it would
no longer run 300 at default voltage. After a cpl of days it was
fine. Fucks me.) we tried booting windows with the default L2 latency
(5 i think) and it booted and ran perfectly. No weird errors, no
crashes. Water in the reservoir is at 3degrees and slowly rising.
After satisfying ourselves it was solid, numerous Synthetic CPU benches
in 3DMark 99, and a cpl of runs through SiSoft Sandra 99 is enough for
the moment, we tried for 6.5x112=728. Success! Of a sort.
It POSTs at 728 every time, but won't boot windows. Ah well, might
try again tomorrow with some actual PC100 ram. I really hope we can
get this baby stable at 728. I haven't heard of *any* other 433 running
over 700. Would be very sweet indeed :)
