I got me X2 3800 today and o'ced it to 2400 MHz (10 x 240 MHz). Vcore is at 1,45 V. With the boxed cooler I get about 58 C when running full stride with PRIME95. Is this okay? My old A64 3000 only went to maximum 52 C runnig at 2475 MHz.

My first big upgrade was a 200mgz to a Celeron 300A that I clocked to 450. That was a DEAL & I loved the performance. I was happy for a while. Then it was a flip-chip P3 600 clocked at 800. I was happy. Then P4s came out, over-priced, neutered, & I jumped ship to AMD & got an 1800+ but ran it at...

I recently reloaded a spare system with a Gigabity GA -7VRX mother board with win 98 SE. The system receives a "No Vt82C686X Southbridge detected error when windows is through loading. I have reloaded everything I can think of in device manager that has to do with sound and have reloaded the VIA...

Has anyone overclocked an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ CPU using this board? http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7n8x/overview.htm More specifically, is it EASY? I ask, because I've successfully overclocked this same CPU using the FIC AU13 motherboard, and it's VERY easy. Just change one setting in...

My mistake. The Sempron 2800+ has a 1.6MHz frequency. So now my question is whether the Sempron 3100+ (1.8MHz) is worth the extra $25 bucks over the Sempron 2800+?

I just upgraded my computer, and a friend of mine with very basic word-processing needs wants to buy my old one. I'm looking for some recommendation on what to charge him for it. One thing worth mentioning here is that this friend sold me his car two years ago, and didn't give me anykind of...

I'm a newbie at overclocking and plan to build a budget system to replace my severely outdated K6-2 500. What's the difference between the Sempron 2800+ and 3100+ (socket 754, Palermo)? They both have the same operating freq of 1.8MHz, but the 3100+ is $25 more. Is one better at overclocking?

I have got an AMD Athlon XP 2400+ CPU, and I just installed mother board monitor 5 only to find it reporting the temperature at 61C. As I have seen mentioned here I checked with the bios and found out that agreese which causes me to think this computer came with an inadiquete cooler. So my...

It's a bit warm here, so I decided to have a go at underclocking my CPU to cool it down a bit. I have a sempron 2500+ that is meant to run at 1750MHz. Without doing a pinmod to change the voltages, and using CPUCool to change the FSB up to about 185MHz, it overclocks to 1950MHz, but will only...

I have this chip and was wondering if i can overclock it by changing fsb from 133 to 166. if so, how much faster will it be and will it be faster than xp 3200+? joseph

I'm coming from Intel and this is my first AMD CPU and I don't know how to overclock ? For my previous pentium it was easy, only had to increase FSB and adjust the memory ratio setting. My memory is OCZ PC3500 433mhz, my MB is Asus SLI premium There is a lot of settings..... MAX memory clock...

I currently have 2 512 sticks of 333mhz ram was wondering if there is much point in getting a single 1 gig stick of 400mhz? Im going to get the corsair memory with the heatsinks if i do get some and my current sticks are crucial memory i think. Not sure if its worth it or if i should wait tell next...

The board is an Asus A8V Deluxe with an A64 3500+ Winchester. Any ideas why CPU-Z is reporting 157.3 MHz? Memory

Will a GF 3 Ti 200 work on an Intel LX mobo. GF 4 Ti wont even boot but this might get a bit more play out of my sons elderly P2 333. 640 x480 16 bit is just crawling on an GF2 MX. TIA R

What Is The Best Overclock of Athlon XP2000+ Palomino??The max frequency???My work max at fsb 280mhz

Hi, I'm a newbie and I read about "little wonders" by overclocking the CPU's. Now I want to try the same. I've got a Barton 2500, bought in March 03 and a mainboard, where I can change multiplier, FSB and core voltage. I set it now at 1,8 V core and 18*166 Multiplikator. But there are no changes...

Planning on upgrading to an Asus A8N-SLi nforce4 motherboard and can't decide if to get a A64 4000+ san diego or A64 X2 3800+ processor my main concern though is does this board support X2 processors as I can see Asus have a premium edtion to this board which is supposed to support X2 but...

I have bumped the voltage of my XP 2500+ -M to 1.825v and have it clocked at 195x12.5 which is about 2.4Ghz clock speed running prime temps are hovering around 60c should I be concerned I mean I expected it be hot with such a high clock speed and vcore but will it be ok? Thanks.
