Ocing CPu

[Brando457]

for some reasno i cant oc my cpu i set it to 10 x 200 which i ve done before i dont rem if i had to up voltage, but if i do 10 x 200 it wont boot i reset my cpu n can get bck on sometimes


XP 2800+ 2 x 512 pc 2700 asus a7n8x deluxe rev 2


i have teh slk 800 w/. a ys-tech fan and my temps are atm 37C after playing CS for 2 hrs so my temps are fine just awnna increase cpu power :/

If that's a tbred core your pretty much max'd out. See my rant in another post.

If it's a Barton you have a little room to go up but not much.

its barton

You may have to up the voltage a little (5%), but it sounds like you're pretty much max'd out on that CPU. If you do up the voltage watch the temperature closely until your sure it stablizes.

I have an palomino 1700 that runs perfect at 1900 with no voltage adjust but it won't budge a bit over that no matter how much extra cooling or voltage I give it. The chip internal timing is hitting its limit.

wait, the 2500+ can do 11x200 with no extra voltage, no problem. your 2800+ should be able to hit 12x200 at least.

it's that pc2700 that worries me. you changed the fsb:memory divider to 6:5 when changing your fsb, right? otherwise you're trying to push your memory to 400mhz along with your fsb and that's just too much for the 333mhz memory to take.

I didnt touch any memroy settings

well, there you go. once you increase your fsb to 400, you need to change your fsb/memory divider to make sure your memory stays running at 333mhz and not 400.

Hey, I have a Gigabyte 7VRX mobo and running a 2100+ cpu.
I would like to ask how could I OC it through hardware?
I think the voltage settings cannot be altered because in the bios, I cannot highlight it at all. Anyway to get around this, or am I just talking rubbish?

I haven't got a clue about overclocking to be honest, but with a bit of guidance, I should be able to follow it easily.

Oh, one last thing. Does anyone know what the CPU limit is for my mobo?

athlon xp 2600+ (266fsb) is the fastest cpu your board supports.
