jimaymay Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 Trying to OC my athlon xp 3200, cooling has not been an issue at all, but i am thinking it is a locked chip, but i can change the voltage and FSB, but when i hit certain points it becomes unstable, but temp is very low, any thoughts on how to get more out of it or anything i need to check like PCI/AGP, or memory timings wich are standard now? Thnx in advance. jimaymay :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimaymay Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) MOBO: abit nf7-s2g RAM: 1024MB dual channel ddr PC3200 400Mhz GPU: MSI Nvidia gforce fx 5600 128 MB HDD: Dual Maxtor 60 GB SATA running RAID 0 striping PSU Ultra X-connect 500W plenty of cooling, this has never been an issue Chip is a Barton just found the receipt I got it to about 444Mhz FSB, but after that it seems to not boot, not sure if that is my memory or if cant handle the OC, i know i need to update BIOS, but my auto flash doesnt work properly, and i have downloaded that program like 20 times. I have no floppy to do this manually, didnt think i would need one. Edited May 5, 2005 by jimaymay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Gauge Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 444fsb??what is the multiplier? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 most likely 444/2 aka 222fsb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Gauge Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 most likely 444/2 aka 222fsb 473377[/snapback] That's not a multiplier that's a divider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronamd Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 probably them memory, it's only supposed to be running at 3200 speeds not 3200 and a half speeds... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) That's not a multiplier that's a divider 473383[/snapback] ok i dont think you understand, AMD FSB is double pumped therefore he may be seeing it as the double number. and 444mhz seems reasonable for PC 3200 to crap out. Oh and it should be an 11x multiplier if it's a 400mhz fsb barton @2.2 (200 x 11) Edited May 5, 2005 by cchalogamer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 What mem timings? Loosening em up shuld let you hit at least 222mhz(dont double/quad/10x pump mem speeds ) stable. What brand ram and what is it running now? **edit** gah, locked down dividers, my bad. That seems about right - 2400mhz for a 3200**edit** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 True, but keep in mind that 444MHz is his bus speed, which is achieved by doubling the FSB. So in this case, if he has a bus speed of 444MHz, his FSB is 222MHz. As for his multiplier, I remember my 2800 Barton had a 12.5 multiplier. It had a bus speed of 333MHz, so 12.5 x 166 = 2075MHz. Since he has a 3200 processor (which has a bus speed of 200MHz) I'm pretty sure his multiplier is less than 12.5x. It's more likely in the vicinity of 11x, which would put his stock speed at 2.2GHz. His overclocked FSB at 222MHz would put him a little over 2.4GHz. My Barton was capable of hitting 2.5GHz on air without much of a problem, and I had crappy RAM with no AGP/PCI lock on my mobo. So if his stock speeds are starting at 2.2GHz, I'm pretty sure he should be able to get to 2.5GHz, maybe even 2.6GHz, as long as he has adequate cooling.
