Clear CMOS. See manual, follow exactly. This should allow you to get back into BIOS on next boot. If your Barton 2500+ CPU was manufactured on or after week 39, there's a good chance the multiplier is locked to 11x. Raise your OC in smaller increments. Test your RAM and CPU to determine stable...

Hi all, I just got to the stage where I am 100% satisfied that my system is working great at stock settings. I have tested the memory timings, and I have tested my FSB above 200MHz. Now I am working on overclocking my cpu. When I first switched up to 11 x 200MHz from default 2500+ all I did to...

I bought a athlon 3200+ 400fsb cpu today even though my MB supports the 3200 it kept coming up as a 2500, even with the fsb set as 200 it was green and all the other 3200's I have seen were brown I did a google images search and could NOT find one green one I want to know whether to return it...

I'm looking for feedback on the idea of attaching a 80mm fan onto the original HSF (Ajigo MF035-032) that came with my Athlon 2500 in order to get the full load temp down from 72C to around 60C. The original 60mm fan is rated at only 18.5CFM, which seems quite low. I could stick on a...

I just completed upgrading to an Athlon 3500 90nm winchester core, with an MSI Neo2 Platinum mb this past weekend. I got the oem processor, along with a Thermalrite XP90 heatsink, with a 80mm ( i think) fan. I used Arctic Silver 3. My cpu temp as reported by corecenter, and in the bios, idles...

Background: I'm in the process of building a new computer for a friend who is a rather demanding business power-user. The computer will be used mostly for internet browsing / email, business applications, and some light gaming. The game that would probably present the most CPU burden would be MS...

I've overclocked my 2600 barton to be a 2800 barton. Are thet temps too high or pretty much ok? By idle I mean internet browsing, MP3's playing, word processing... just general use. Full load was an hour of Prime95 running the CPU at 100%. It maxed out at 60C by about minute 20 and the temp never...

So looking over the AMD website, they recommend only using thermal pads and not paste or grease, unless you're needing to remove the heatsink often. In the realworld, what's everyone's opinion? I ask because I've been calling around and all the computer store around here have are paste and not...

Well i know there is no Windows 64 YET, but i am thinking after xmas to get the AMD64 instead of the AMD3200 BARTON. This is just so I am equipped for the new windows. So all set and ready to go. But then i was on a Half-life 2 site and it had some crappy thing so see if your PC was good enough for...

LS, I am overclocking my XP2400+ (2200 MHz) and want to get a better heatsink to get more out of it, or at least drop the temps a bit. What is the best heatsink? Alu with copper core or full copper? I am about to buy the Thermalright SK7. I believe that is a good choice for the money.

Hi, what are the U.K equilivalent of these things please? Wayne ][

I bought a new AMD Athlon XP 2700+... and the sticker on the chip says that it is a 2700... but in Windows XP... It says im only running a 2100+ .. WHAT THE HECK???? Is it the wrong chip? Or is Windows? What do i do? (This BTW is the SECOND chip cuz the first 2700+ chip I bought did the...

Both the G5 and the Opteron 64 bit have been out a while now, wonder if there are any credible comparisons on performance yet? Need to populate an office, and want to know if there are big differences. Thanks in advance for any pointers. -gtk PS - sorry for crossposting, figured I better ask both...

Just read somewhere that they don't make the ram, just buy it and rebrand it, anyone know who they buy it from ? Thanks. Does anyone make their ram ?, Corsair, ect ? Thanks again.

On Sep. 1, 2005 I replaced my normal HSF thermal compound with some 30 year old wheel bearing grease that I had in the garage. Afterwards the temps were the same as the original thermal compound. Today they are still as good are maybe .5C better. AMD64 3000+ CPU Temp: +31°C M/B Temp: ...
