PickledSheep Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 k, i got a green (one with good stepping) Barton 2500, an A7N8X-X mobo, corsair XMS 3200 ram, and a Volcano 11+. Firstly what should i clock too. I was thinking of trying to push the 333mhz FSB as high as it would go (maybe around 400). What should i choose for clock speed? My case is a Lanboy with only two fans <_< . Should i ditch the volcano and get a silent boost fan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 Ok now take a step back and breath in... With that outta the way *EVERYTHING OVERCLOCKS DIFFERENTLY* and *NO CHIP IS CREATED EQUAL*. You are on a journy young grasshopper and on this journy you will need to answer a few questions. What are my case and cpu temperatures currently at load and idle? What type of thermal past am I using? How far do I want to try and push it? That being said im running my 2500 with a valcano 11+ and a ducting mod with some lovely as3 to keep it goey. If the noise from the fan is annoying take off the gaurd i found it reduced the whine by quite abit. My current oc on my 2500 is 3200 speeds and that is with a 200 fsb 11x multi and 1.75 on the ol vcore. Temps idle is 36 and load is 40 to 41.

FanATIc205 Posted September 29, 2003 Posted September 29, 2003 im using a lanboy and 2500+ tmeps are good mobo temp is always 26 or 27 im using a aero7+ and i dont recomend this but i went str8 to 11x200 but i have been overclcoking forawhile and wasnt really to worried if i fryed it . id sugges setting the voltage to 1.75 and then go for 11x200 but go in 5mhz increments after each boot give prime95 a quick 5 min run and go up another 5mhz on the fsb till you hit 200 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
