alpine2g Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 Hello, new to the forums here so got a quick question. I have one of these bartons and have read about them being locked or unlocked. I am sorda a noob to o/c so be nice! Like right now running epox mb 8kra2+ with 512 3200 crucial ddr ram and I got the cpu to 2.21 ghz and stable with the mutliplier being 193 * 11.5. I bought my chip back in august of this year so how can I tell if its a locked one or not. Any ideas on how to make this faster?? Btw have a thermal take volcano 11 for the cpu and its sitting at 40c idle and 44-47c full load. Thanks for the help in advance!!

Special_K Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 what kinda thermal compound are you using? those temps are around the max i would allow for a stable oc. anyways, you know you have a locked barton when you cant mess around with the multiplier. obviously youve oc'd it with the fsb; try to mess with the mltiplier and if you cant change it then you know you have a post w39 chip. also, what are you trying to do with it? oc'n is one thing but are you tryin to see how high you can get stable? if so i would invest in a better hs. good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted December 25, 2003 Posted December 25, 2003 Try increasing the FSB to 200. It may actually keep it stable as it won't be affecting the PCI bus as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted December 25, 2003 Posted December 25, 2003 all CPU's are Locked.. Is just the Nforce2 boards allowed us to mess with the settings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
