Sly_C Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 (edited) Don't get me wrong with this CPU you probably won't need to overclock it its already mad fast. Well I dunno cause I can't afford one or the boards to put them in, but I was just wondering if anyone knows how these puppies are with overclocking? Do we have another 2500 barton core on our hands or the 1900 palamino? Edited October 11, 2003 by Sly_C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 the athlon fx is the opteron 1xx with a new name (no smp enabled). I'm picking one up later on today, so I should be able to tell you for sure how it OC's. currently I'd guess that it's still going to be a poor oc'n chip just like the opteron 244 I have. have worked my behind off to squeeze 400mhz extra out of it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 ouch thats not good but with this u don't really need to oc it its an awesome chip to begin with Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMB3017 Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 These chips won't overclock well simply because of the on-die memory controller. AMD doesn't want us to overclock, so they give us the min. of a memroy controller. However, if you override that memory controller and use the mobo's...you never know what could happen. Plus, chips normally dont clock well in there first steppings, let alone overclock. Remeber the first batch of P4s that were clocked at 1.5 GHz? Now we have 3.2 after a year or so.

bigred Posted October 11, 2003 Posted October 11, 2003 no oc'n love at all can't even get the bus up over default 1 mhz at all! and the worse part: the opteron oc'd from 1.8ghz to 2.2ghz is faster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
