BeatRyder Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 (edited) How fast can my barton 2600 go? My Sig shows what i have done so far. My temps are as folows: Running at stock speeds(1917Mhz/333FSB 400MhzRAM) with the stock AMD retail HSF CPU 49/60 Idle/load mobo 30/32 idle load With current config: CPU 57/63 idle/load mobo 31/33 idle load So my question is this. Has anyone else seen temps this high b4? And how much of a temp drop could I expect to see if I switched to a Volcano 7/9/11? oh yeah, I use MBM to get my temps.

Paranoid Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 I have a Barton 2800, and I got about 43C at Full Load with my Volcano 11+ and Ceramique. Barton's can usually get to 2.4GHz with good cooling. Your temps are pretty high, so I would suggest better cooling. Thermalright makes the best heatsinks, so you might want to look at them.

InvaderTrax Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 You'll want a Volcano 7+ hfs found here: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc....2B&searchdepa=1 Anyway, depending on your board, you can take that thing to at least 2.2GHz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabloEscobar Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 (edited) your FSB is at 344..... What is your multiplyer set at? Anyways... yes these temps are normal with the bartons. I have a 2500+ and with the stock HSF it was around 65C at load. Purchased the volcano 7+ and temps are now at 49C load. (200X11). For some reason the barton HSF fans that come with the chip really SUCK! Buy a new heatsink fan and you will be fine. but stilll... how the hell is your FSB set at 344????????? That doesn't seem right. Edited January 11, 2004 by PabloEscobar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 172x2 would make sense 172x11.5 = 1978MHz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabloEscobar Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 (edited) 172x2 would make sense172x11.5=1978 lol you edited it.... Right when i was going to quote you on... how the hell does 172x2=1978 you changed it. heh. that still confuses me on why he would say his FSB is 344 and not 172.

Paranoid Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 172x2 = 344MHz is the FSB. As you know AMD uses DDR FSB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabloEscobar Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 (edited) oh yea... its doubled. WHy the hell does AMD make things so confusing? 2500+ really means 2500Mhz compared to P4..... and the double BS..WHY NOT JUST SAY IT AS IT IS!

Paranoid Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 It's not as bad as Intel with their QPB ie 200 x 4 = 800MHz = FSB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatRyder Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 (edited) OK, thanx for the input guys. Sorry, Yeah I have my FSb set to 172. and the multiplier is locked at 11.5 I need to modify my sig. I am not at home now, but i wanted to say thanxs for the responses. I am still new to the OC'ing world. so I have another question. In my Bios, I can add an additonal 5, 7.4 or 10% to CPU core voltage. I am currently running with the defualt voltages. How much do i need to add for better stability. I know to add the voltage when I start seeing insability. And how fast do want my ram to go? [edit] Ok, I just cleaned off my HSF and CPU with some rubbing alcohol. WOW what a difference My temps droped to 50oC Idle and 54 Load. the Mobo has pretty much stayed the same. /edit - ok, I think my thermal compound has set it. cause my load temps are 55 and my temps are 47 But I am still not so sure that these temps are good. I have tried a volcano 9, but t sucked so I returned it Edited January 18, 2004 by BeatRyder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
