sandman1485 Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Hey guys - first post on these forums. I've been reading quite a bit over the past few days, researching what cooling system to get. I decided to go with the Koolance PC2-601BW, which turns out to have been an awesome choice and I couldn't be happier with it. If there is something wrong with it that I should be aware of please inform me. Well, apart from the silence, I got this so that I could overclock. I have a AMD XP2000+ with a Soyo Kt-333 Dragon Lite. There within lies the problem: the processor is bad for overclocking, and the mobo is too. I managed to get it to 1888mhz (12x151). This seems to be the highest attainable speed. I got onto my computer, which is functioning at a stable 32celcius without any problems, and ran the CPUBench2003 Test. My results came out as 5464 with a 1946 on the ram performance or something of the sort. My issue is that those results barely compare with a 2200+, when I would expect them to compare to a 2400+. Is there an explanation for this? Do they just overrate the 2400+? Or does overclocking to a certain speed not necessarily mean it will compare with the equal stock processor? Also, is there any possible way I can increase the speed that I get out of this processor without my system stalling? At 32celcius you just can't help but want to keep on pushing it (: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuZziELiTLpAnDa Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 the max i got out of my chip was 12.5/151 as well. someone else got over 2gigz with their 2000xp, but it was probably a tbred w/ a good mobo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Your scores are lower because you are running your CPU at close to 1.9 GHz, the 2400+ is clocked at 2GHz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanATIc205 Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 if thats a pally core xp 1900mhz is about the limit for those chips whats the default voltage ? 1.75. when ive pushed a cpu past a certain limit i get really crappy scores diminished returns Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
