Xp 2800+ now running at 10.5 x 200 fsb is it better???
I have a Xp 2800 (non barton) which should run at 2.25 Ghz and 333mhz
fsb, if you see my previous post last week i was haveing trouble running it at this speed. For the last 3 days i have lowered the multiplier to 10.5 and bumped up the fsb to 200mhz. So in effect my FSB is now 400 and my processor running at 2.1 ghz. Am i getting better performance with a higher fsb than i would have if my cpu ran at 2.25ghz + 333 fsb??? My memory and motherboard are also running at 400mhz. Cooling does not seem to be a problem, my MB temp is about 32 and my cpu about 50. Any advice would be great. -- Posted using the http://www.hardwareforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.hardwareforumz.com/AMD-Th...pict57980.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Any advice would be great. glad your getting the hang of things. it nice you found the multi adjustments. try this: http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=36 install and run the 1m test. take note of the time, then reset the computer to the old setting and compare. you’ll see things are better with the new settings. then you work at getting the score lower. being a via chip set you don’t really want to go over the 200fsb. you can try adjusting the ram timing to lower settings. you’ll need to raise the voltage on the ram some. you’ll have to experiment and more than likely learn exactly where the cmos jumper is. when it appears to be stable, you start testing with. http://www.memtest86.com/ and prime95 (watch your temps!!) http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm ud |
