oem 775 boards (31, 33, and 35)

[Somerandomtechyboi]

Interested in them because i wanna try high fsb overclocks (500+ fsb), main reasons being a funny curiosity project and making content out of it cause who doesnt want to see a crappy dell near extreme oced?  Do not try to discourage me cause ill still carry on anyways

 

30 series chipsets due to no arbitrary nb fsb limit, just board, volt, and temp limit, particularly interested in the q chipsets due to basically noone running high fsb on those so free hwbot record, and even if i dont get record its still funny to see an oem board running stupid fsbs, Heres an example of what im trying to do

 

 

Now i just need to know if there are any issues with them other than the extremely obvious need for vmod due to no bios settings, needing to mod vrms (or straight up epower) if i ever want to try proper cpu ocing (prob not since i just wanna see how high i can crank fsb), and prob having to deal with btx (looking at you dell)

 

 

For all i know most of these oems shoudl be using mostly standard power connectors and dont have that many annoying proprietary connectors to deal with 

 

I heard that dells need the proprietary case frontpanel and you cant just short them to turn them on

 

Other than the dells being potentially annoying cause proprietary frontpanel and btx, any other things i should worry about or are those the only things i need to worry about?

40 series had limits? The highest I went on my P45 board was ~467Mhz. That's as far as I was able to push it for 24/7 at the time.

Spoiler

That was a Q9650 @ 4.203GHz with 4x2GB DDR2-1066 @ 933MHz 5-4-4-12 IIRC. I ran it like that for a while before the caps on the board blew. lol.

Thats p45 which doesnt have arbitrary fsb limits, same goes for x48, all the others except p45 and x48 had fsb limits, mainly 41 and 43 + the fakey q45 aka rebranded g43, unsure of g45 though ill avoid it anyways, maybe ill f with it some day since it is a 45 chipset but considering the hwbots for g45 suck ass and my g31m s2c obliterates all of them (542fsb) i wont bother for awhile

 

 

Also isnt 467 a tad slow for p45? Like it is quadcore but id be expecting abit higher than 467, esp if you happen to run giga ud series mobo since those push quads to 500+ with ease, my ds4p does 556 stable on my e8400

I have no clue what FSB is possible with P45. I believe the board I had was a Biostar TP45HP. 4.2GHz was the limit for my CPU/cooling. I would have loved to get 525-533MHz for an 8x multiplier and for the RAM to run closer to 1066. I know I must have tried for it, but I wasn't too experienced at the time so I wouldn't have messed with any settings aside from the FSB voltage. All the same, it was a badass system.

gods sake those do 600+ with ease on dualcores, unfortunately bios is trash and lacks fine adjustments and doesnt even give any voltage values, just stupid offsets so you need a multimeter to even oc properly (flashed on my p5q as a test so thats how i know the bios) so thats quite the limiter for ocing so unsurpirsing you got such trash fsb on a board like that. Youd need vmod just for fine volt adjustment, otherwise great board and would love to get one unless i can get a giga ud board

This also contributes to trash fsb oc. Biostar def not for beginners due to trash bios and vmod requirement, asus is preffered for beginners due to simple bios but very lacking for enthusiast ocers like me, giga would be mid ground due to insane fsb capability and not garbage bios, though it does take a lil bit of time to learn the bios, and i still have no idea on drive settings for the rams so i have to use a god damn preset xD
