So far I've managed to get it to 2.26 GHz with 205 FSB. No voltage change. I have Zalman CNPS700A-AlCu and it keeps it at 38C/42C Idle/CPU Max. Motherboard is Asus A7N8X-X (2x200MHz FSB). How far can I push it more, anyone OC'd it higher? What temperature is still OK, 60C, 70C? BTW, just to make...

Hello, I have an Athlon XP2600+ CPU in a NForce2 motherboard machine. I am a bit confused as to what type of CPU it is i.e."Barton" etc. The CPU is green in colour and has a 333MHZ fsb. The small print on the packaging says that it is also rated to run at 2083MHZ. I was thinking of upgrading...

Folks: I am interested in building my own Network Server Appliances. For now I just want to study/investigate the necessary HARDWARE to build my Appliances. Specifically, I am interested in getting the following hardwa * Tyan Mini 1U Rack Mount Chassis (14", 200W, 1/2 HD, 1 CD,...

Hi you all! I would be very grateful if someone here will help me with some suggestions on bulding my new computer. Here's what I'm preparing to build: case: AOpen QF 50C (Windowed) motherboard: GA-7VM400AMF Athlon XP 2500+ (AMD Processor

My new athlon XP system just got fried.. I have some questions. I've heard the Athlon64 3200+ can beat a P4 3.2 EE in most tests. Is this true, and is there any reason why one would buy the P4 over the A64 other than bias? Also, i'm a bit confused now.. I see A64 3200+ listed at pricewatch.....

I have a xp 2800 that's at idle running In the low 50's. Im currently using the stock heatsink and fan. What im looking for is somthing that will cool this thing down. I also have four 80mm case fans in my case. I looking for somthing not to exspensive. But noise is not a problem. I was looking at...

Have you fitted the heatsink the other way around? Did you use the thermal paste? You can try touching the heatsink with your finger and feel if it's hot. When not then it does not make proper contact with the cpu. I had a alluminium heatsink suited for xp2000 on my xp2400 and only with 30C ambient...

My Athlon 700MHz hangs when it hits 35C. I have not even overclocked it. Yet... MB is a MSI K7PRO (MS-6195). CPU cooler is a Golden Orb and I've got an extra 80mm fan blowing directly at the CPU. Room temperature is about 22C. I've thought about ripping off the plastic cover from the CPU but...

Have the socket 940 mobo's been updated yet with the newer chipsets such as the nividia nf3 250gb etc? Cheers Chris

Hi, Can anybody please help me to configure A7V266-C motherboard to work properly with AMD Athlon XP 1700+? Since a recent power loss all the BIOS configurations were reset, so now it works only at 1100MZ, when CPU System Frequency Multiple is x11.0 and System/PCI Frequency is 100/33 MHz. Before...

I got a barton 2500 and it's made before the lock of the multiplicator and it's at the moment running at 12.5\175.The reason I don't raise the bus speed more is my bad memorys.I got 2 256 pc4000.The brand it's something like Acer Apacer or something.I think Compac use them in theirs machines.And...

A question especially to oc's fans. Planning to buy the NF7 v2 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...oduct_uid=63166 with 2x OCZ Premier (OCZ400256PH) 256MB DDR400 PC3200 CL2.5. Q1: are those suitable mem's for oc'ing? Want to go up to 230MHZ FSB & 11 multiplyer with my trusty Barton 2500. Will...

I am upgrading. For a difference of about $125, I can purchase a Athlon64 2.8 instead of the AthlonXP 2.4 mobile (overclocked to XP 3.2 speeds - 11x200.) If I go Athlon64 - I'd do it with the MSI NEO platnum(Nforce3-250). If I go XP2.4, I'll go Abit NF7-S. I would not overclock the Athlon64.

I don't know if this is well known or not but AMD has used different criteria in giving the Sempron line of cpu's its PR numbers. So don't buy a Sempron 3100+ expecting it to be faster than an Athlon 64 3000+. Because it's nowhere close to as fast. AMD ommitted a bunch of the benchmarks used for...

Has this newsgroup taken a back seat ? Fig

I have some regular IDE to Serial ATA adapters that came with an Abit NF7-S motherboard. I tried using one on an Asus K8V SE Deluxe with a Western Digital 250 GB (WD2500BB) hard drive. I could not get the drive recognized by the BIOS. Are these convertors sometimes known to be flaky, or is it...

I'm a little ****ed about this. Newegg has raiseed the price of the TR2-M1 cooler from $8.99 to $15.99. The only reason I can see for this is the popularity and the five star ratings in 40 reviews. This cooler can still be bought for $8-$12 elsewhere. The TR2-M2 is now $3 cheaper than the M1, but...

Are they locked?Just bought the A64 2800 and couldn't find that info.Thanks

1. What is an AMD SHIMXMPT CPU shim? 2. Why does the AMD Athlon XP 1600+ CPU cost $51 while the 1700+ costs only $42?

How do I get this chip to perform better than 2.09 ghz? I am completely new to clocking but I'm not a dummy and can follow instructions! Mick
