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:

I have my Barton 2500+ running at 200x11.5=2.3GHz, and it is rock solid.

I can pretty well guarantee that you will get 2.2GHz out of that thing, and possibly 2.3GHz, just up the FSB to 200 and increase the vcore voltage to 1.8v or so. :afro:

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

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

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

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

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

Hey, i just got a AMD 2500 and i was able to overclock it too 2.25 i believe and vcore @ Stock. Not one problem at all it ran completly fine.
