AOpen AK79D-400 Max + Mobile Athlon xp 2800+
A friend of mine was running an Athlon xp 2200+ on a AOpen AK79D-400
Max. He's transfering vhs tapes to dvd, and would have liked a bit more juice, and get rid of his pesky loud cpu cooler at the same time. So i suggested to get a mobile athlon barton core and overclock it to 3200+ with some lighter cpu cooler. He went on ebay and got a 2800+ 16.5x133. When he puts it into the board it will post but at 6x100, and he can't change the 6 to anything else. The manual of the board states the board is capable of 5-22, selectable in the bios. This is a mobile, i thought they came fully unlocked, and it's an nforce 2 board, so shouldn't the multipliers be unlocked? My asus a7n8x deluxe unlocked my 2500+ barton without problems. He has the latest bios, and the system posts and boots, but we can't get anything out of it, on a different multiplier. Are we overlooking something? Can something be done to force the motherboard to run the cpu at another multiplier? |

Yes, if you would have built a cheap 939/am2 system with the same money you
spent on your barton system, you would have had more power available to you and would't be posting or overclocking at all.

He needs to change the max default on the XP-M. The answer is here (or all over the web if you search). http://fab51.com/cpu/barton/athlon-e23.html The manual of the board states the board is capable of 5-22, selectable in the bios.

You could change it to regular XP or an MP, or just setting the max multiplier to something other than 6 might work. All barton core cpu's sre they same. The model and speed is determined by the configuration of the bridges. The Nvidia chipset does not support Mobile CPU's, or I should say they don't support powernow of the mobile cpu's. In any case, all the bridges are defined on Fab51. have fun. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |

Eh, don't worry, I made the same mistake back in 2003 when I bought my XP
2600 and asus board instead of 939 -- Love and Teach, Not Yell and Beat Stop Violence and Child Abuse A64 3500+, Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 motherboard All-in-Wonder 9800Pro 128mb AGP X-Fi Extreme Music,Antec 550 watt,Thermaltake Lanfire 2 Gb Dual Channel PC3200 OCZ Platinum 2-3-2-5 CL2.5 2XSATA WD 320gb Raid Edition, PATA WD 120Gb HD Pioneer 110D, 111D, Liteon 1693 Dual Layer burners XP Media Centre Edition 2005 Sidewinder Precision Pro 2 Joystick Logitech optical mouse 19 in Viewsonic A91f+ BenchMark 2001 SE- 19074 Games I'm Playing- Falcon 4, SP:WAW "Dimitri Salikov" wrote in message ...

The answer is here (or all over the web if you search). http://fab51.com/cpu/barton/athlon-e23.html Shouldn't it post at the "native" multiplier of the cpu, 16.5x100? I know with my abit NF7 and an XP-M 2600+ this was the case. Perhaps its a limitation of the motherboard and not the CPU, in which case a simple BIOS update may resolve the issue. Of course, CPU parameters would still have to be entered manually. -Dylan C |

All I know is that if it's a socket A MB it'll run any socket A cpu they make.

So they did manage to get a XP-M 2500+ to work, but not permanently. http://club.aopen.com.tw/forum/viewm...essageID=62233 And the funny thing is, it looks like there is an Attansic ATXP1 48 pin overclock controller next to the CPU socket. That is supposed to allow changing multiplier control bits. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.c...id=1439&page=2 (review) http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages...9d400_sock.jpg (picture) So the problem would appear to be a BIOS that needs work. http://www.attansic.com/english/products/index.html http://www.attansic.com/english/prod.../ATXP1_1.1.pdf Maybe the solution would be to use wire tricks/socket mods. You can either install wires as per the socket view, or turn the motherboard over and solder wires as per the CPU view. Set the multiplier menu to the desired value on the Ocinside.de web page. The multiplier value you use may depend on the FSB clock speed you selected. If the mobile is a Barton core, then FSB400 should be possible, and something like 200x11 should work. To run 200MHz and a multiplier of 11, you'd need some DDR400 RAM. http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?/ht...md_pinmod.html When using the wire trick, use the "Auto" multiplier setting in the BIOS. Using the "Auto" setting, is so the overclock controller chip does not fight with the wire tricks. I think I'd just find another motherboard that is more suited for use with a Mobile AthlonXP. Paul |
