djdan Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 Hi, I have a, amd athlon xp 2000+ msi kt6-delta motherboard 2x 256mb DIMM DDR pny geforce fx 5200 agp 8x 60gb hard drive With my motherboard I got a program called corecenter that displays my CPU temp and what speed it is at, I also noticed that it gives you the option to increase or decrease the FSB MHz settings. It is currently at 133 MHz and my CPU runs between 49-55c (temp) speeds at 1667 MHz I was wondering what is the max it is recommended to raise my FSB settings to so that I can increase my CPU speed, also is my CPU temp a bit to high at the moment. I have the standard fan from amd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 Well, I wouldn't try to go too far on the stock cooling. But anyway, you'll have better luck overclocking if you use your bios instead of corecenter. How high you want to go depends on your ram...what kind of ram do you have?

djdan Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 I have 2x pny 256mb dimm ddr (266mhz-184pins) so 512mb. Is doing it the bios way safer? Thanks for the reply! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme21 Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 Your OC is going to be limited with PC-2100 i suggest you get some XMS DDR333 or XMS DDR400 to OC to your fullest ability.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 (edited) I was wondering what is the max it is recommended to raise my FSB settings to so that I can increase my CPU speed, Each system is different. The max OC depends on everything inside the system, and the quality of everything inside the system. Only way to find out what the max is, would be trial and error. Keep raising the FSB a little at a time till the system crashes or no longer boots, then you know what the max is. Let's not be posting the same message multiple times.

djdan Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 Thanks! I have raised the fsb settings to 145mhz and that has took it to 1813mhz and it seems to be fine, the temp went up by 2c, its now at 55c, is that bad??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 25, 2004 Posted January 25, 2004 No, that's okay. Just don't let it go any higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
