Older overclocking question
Hi everyone,
I've posted here a few times, but I have a question about reliable over clocking...."IF" thats possible. I spent money on decent stuff.... for the possibility of overclocking after reading alot of reviews on the parts... here goes.... I have an athlon XP2500 coolmaster cpu heat sink and fan MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR MSI's best overclocking mobo ATI Radeon 9800 pro 1gb dual channel pc3200 Antec 450 pwr supply 7 case fans including the 2 in the pwr supply I've had limited success overclocking it to 1920 or so.... but, "supposedly" I can get it to 2.3 without water or 2.8 with water.... but, after running some benchmarks aquamark3 and 3dmark I get less performance than if I use nvidia's Ntune which adjusts everything to 1920 Does anyone have a similar rig at higher settings, with better success? I have heard that you can run the 2500 at a 200mhz fsb but then all I've read in my mags is 175-178mhz tops... Oh, btw, in BF2 I do get decent frame rates, 30-55 depending on what I'm at, and whats going on on screen. but for the most part it runs decent.... just want to know if theres anyone that has clocked it better, faster...... Oh, and do you have to unlock the processor to make adjustments? Or just use the adjustments in the bios?for the MSI board? I'd like to upgrade to a 64 bit/PCI express system, and have found a few prespective components,but, I'm waiting for the water to settle, too many new components right now, and wanna see what sticks and what fades away.... especially concidering now they have added duel core proccessors as well....lol Well, anyone that can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated... Thanks Jackyl |

That will give you 2.2GHz (11x200). If you don't have PC3200 or faster ram, then you need to adjust the ram bus speed accorcingly. And you also may need to raise vcore up to 1.75v for stability. tesing it all will tell. -- KT133 MB, CPU @2400MHz (24x100): SIS755 MB CPU @2330MHz (10x233) Need good help?

Mine will only do 190mhz - 200mhz doesn't work with my chip. 196 I can take
it up to, but don't like it running that close to the edge. I've tried voltage tweaks - didn't help any. "Wes Newell" wrote in message newsan.2005.10.10.07.37.57.586420@TAKEOUTverizon .net...

The problem is probably not the cpu, but another aspect of your system. I can get the FSB up to 215MHz on my system using an unlocked 2100+. The reason it won't go higher is not the cpu. Changing the FSB also affects the ram bus speed and the PCI/AGP bus speeds on chispets that don't have a PCI lock. -- KT133 MB, CPU @2400MHz (24x100): SIS755 MB CPU @2330MHz (10x233) Need good help?

Using Shuttle SN45G revision2 - DDR 400 memory - at 200mhz pci/agp run at
correct speeds - at 190 they are underclocked. I've tried lots of stuff with this to get 200mhz, but never successful, won't even boot at that speed.

Ok,
I tried 200mhz. system booted fine but I got an error saying that there was a 40 pin hdd cable disconnected on IDE channel 1 bla bla bla..... cant remember the exact error message lol I tried messing around with different various settings. I got the system to boot around 194 I think it was but error message was still there no hang but, system performance was greatly deteriorated. I'm thinking maybe I'm better off just either buying an XP3000-XP3200 or, going with an ARock MB with both AGP and PCI-E and slowly upgrading. I dont get it....... sigh I know that each chip is exclusive and some go farther than others some do/some dont..... guess I just got one that doesn't..... "Donny Broome" wrote in message ...

Older overclocking question (XP 2500+)
Thats wierd, I was beginning to think that maybe my memory was to blame, I
have 2 512 Geil pc3200 chips also. Hmmmm, I dunno, I still cant get up to 200. 185-194, but, when I play BF2, it reboots after a while... at 196-200mhz windows starts loading, but reboots. I've tried raising my voltage up to 1.725 and 1.75 but it still wont boot. I jump right into the bios and check my temps, and then check with PCAlert also, all temps are fine, 139-150 degrees usually. Although, thats one thing I hate about ATI cards, theres no way of knowing what my video card temp is, perhaps its overheating and causing it. no, I dont overclock the AGP slot or bump the voltage up I may get one of those pci slot exhaust fans and put it under my video card, just for gits and shiggles at the very least it will allow me to keep my video card, and sound card 2 slots below a little cooler.
