Athlon 750 and 3D rage on water

[ben333]

I just grabbed this pretty cheap at OC forums and want to watercool it. I have made a block with pulmbers goop and an electrical box but I want this to be a bit nicer. If any of you guys have some cheap blocks or crossdrilled blocks then post here or send a PM to me I plan to run it at first on snow because I can't run out But I am also looking for a cheap used TEC for it.
Here is what I got:
Asus K7V
half a gig of PC133
3D Rage AGP

I know this board supports overclocking in the BIOS and in jumpers and the nice thing is it also supports voltage change in the BIOS.

Thumbs up for Old School!

Not only old school but rare old school. Those athlon Slot CPU's didn't last to long before Socket A took over. Before that was the flip chip K6's on sock370. I completely ignored the Slot CPU's and went from socket 370 to Socket A.

I doubt you will find to many water blocks, even DIY, that are around. Water cooling was still pretty much DIY back then and not to many made stuff for slot CPU's.

Just the price for the copper will probably buy you a faster system these days.

I know man but this is for fun. The block dosn't even need to be copper. I want one like joe used in the first double header project. I will have to make one if I can't find one but thats OK too! The system arrived today and boy is she pretty lol. I will post some pics in the coming week. Happy holliday overclocking

Old school? Rare? I have one of these. KryoTech SuperG. I'm looking for a Intel Pentium III 1.0GHz Slot 1 CPU and an overclocking slot 1 motherboard. (tired of CPU FSB, CPU Cool, etc).

Oh no. The Intel Slot CPU's were a lot more popular and covered a large amount of processors and a large time span. I was referring to the AMD slot CPU's. They covered a very short range of CPU's and short time span.

That does raise the question though if the Intel coolers are universal with AMD's for the slot CPU's? If so that makes finding a WB a lot more possible.

[ben333]

Exactly what I was thinking. A simple crossdrilled block would be easy to add the AMD holes to.

Hah! I think I still have my old OC-watercool polyblock with slot A adapter. Last I remember a spider climbed in it and sorta died...

Still have the little "afterburner" slot adapter that lets you change the multiplier.

Btw, thanks for the thread it actually made me smile.

lmk if you'd like to sell anything
Un related but my room was hot and so http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=541157

No, no...
This thing came with an AND 700mhz CPU/Gigabyte motherboard. From what I can find out the CPU has a larger than "stock" cache and the BIOS is an overclocked BIOS (but, alas, without any provision to make changes in the BIOS) I'm going to convert it over to Intel just because that what I'm playing with now.

As to the coolers fitting both Intel and AMD slot 1 CPUs, I think they do.

I got you now. I read that wrong. I didn't even know you could convert from one to the other.

I finally found some info on the life span of the Slot A AMD's. They had a larger range than I remember but not by much. Looks like 550mhz to 1000mhz.

Jaydee, I know you're interested in road racing, how's it going?
We brought one of our cars (SRF) to the runoffs in Topeka this year. Long story short, we had electrical problems and did badly due to limited track time. But I crewed for Tonis Kasamets's Atlantic car and he got a second, a first would have given him the "Tripple Crown" ...Division, Runoofs and National championship.
We leave for Sebring next week with two SRFs. Gonna do Homestead too.
And one of my drivers just won the 25 hours of Thunderhill in a Crawford Daytona Prototype.

I think you got me mixed up with Joe as he was doing some racing. That pretty damn cool though. If I had the time and money...

So you guys are saying that slot one and slot A are mixable? Like having socket 7 and using a K6 or an MMX, right?

Yeah, but not without an adapter of some kind I would think. I don't think you can use a AMD Slot A with Intel Slot 1 directly. Don't really know though. I skipped the Slot CPU's all together and stuck with flip chip as they are easier to work with in my opinion.

Sorry jaydee.......
Age/confusion/.......WTF I rermember now.

AMD's K5, K6, K6-2 and K6-3 were all Socket 7 and Super Socket 7 processors.

AMD's K7 came out in Slot A format from 550MHz to 1GHz I believe. Slot A was not compatible with Slot 1 (Intel's slot) and vice versa.

Socket 370 appeared with the Celeron CPU's. Once Intel released their 0,18u based Pentium !!!'s they spanned both the Slot 1 and Socket 370 range.

Slot 1 held early Celeron's (anyone remember the 300A?), Pentium II's as well as Pentium !!!'s.

Yes indeed. I got 370 confused.... Socket 7 started with Pentium 133. http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Soc...(Socket7).html

I still have a few Cyrix CPU's around somewhere.
