Barton 2500 OC'ing

[prodikal]

Hey if i wanna use DDR 400 in a 1:1 ratio with a Barton 2500 can i raise the FSB to 200 and lower the multiplier to make the clock speed "normal" without hurtin anything? Thanx in advanced.

[The Baron]

Weeeellll. No. The clock speed is 166x11, which would be 1833 Mhz. You COULD do 200x9 for about the same, but meh, just overclock it. ;)

Damn it, you're making me drool over a mobo box!!! :mad:

[Matthyahuw]

200X11 is 2.2GHz weenie!

I THINK you mean 11.5x200...

[prodikal]

all i will have is stock cooling at first. any suggestions on good fairly quiet air coolin. that will fit on an NF7-S

[The Baron]

Don't make me get on my Thermalright SLK900U soapbox :p

You know.. I probably could stand on it... ;)

[prodikal]

Ill try the SLK 900u but that sonbich is like 50 bux w/o fan :((




BTW are you an official Thermalright Rep???

[volt]

Apparently cooling aint everything. My Barton (2800+) craps out at around 2.45 and its temp is 35C. Tried higher timings and higher voltages. Windows won't boot :p

[Dazz]

Sweet, 2.2GHz later on this week i was thinking of replaceong my polly XP2100 with one :)
