Sharky Extreme heeft een review in elkaar gedraaid van Intel's nieuwste telg, de 600 Mhz versie van de Pentium III.
De grenzen van de 0.25 micron technologie worden zo langzamerhand bereikt, dus wat overklokken betreft hoef je niet veel spectaculairs te verwachten (hoewel, 660 Mhz is toch niet niks...)
For us, 660MHz (6.0 x 110MHz) was the maximum threshold that our P3-600 CPU would function reliably at. This is disappointing as the 110MHz FSB speed option is only available on a few newer mainboards, meaning that if you own an Abit BX6 R2.0 mainboard, for example, you'll have to shoot for 6.0 x 112MHz which we weren't able to obtain with stability. We utilized both the Intel retail heatsink/fan option that comes equipped on all retail P3-600 CPUs as well as a custom made cooling solution that we put together from a few spare fans and large heatsinks. Our cooler was only moderately more successful at keeping the P3-600's temperature lower than the already strong degree of cooling offered by the Intel unit. We achieved a lower temperature that equaled approximately 7 - 8 degrees F than the Intel unit, however it wasn't enough to allow multiple successful bootups into Win98 at 672MHz.
Groot nadeel is dus dat het ding (tenminste, Sharky's ding) het niet trekt op 112 Mhz FSB. 110 werkt wel, maar er zijn bar weinig moederplanken die die optie hebben.
