danny boy Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 so far the best I've done with this set-up Is: FSB 200 11x This gives me a stable 2200 that identifies as a 3200+ My problem seems to be with the memory. If it indicates a bus above 200 (400) it wont even boot. My question is, is it better/safer to bump up the FSB or to mess with the multiplier. What usueally gives the best stability? Barton 2500+ twinx ddr400/3200 corsair 512m A7N8X Deluxe Antec 450 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooded Rat ]|[RP]|[ Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 I've got the same system but a 2800+ Barton and I've got the FSB to 441. Running totally stable at 2315mhz @ 10.5x220 @ 1.700vcore. It runs between 40 and 48 with a Thermaltake Silent Boost HSF @ 2400RPM @ 21dBa constant.....so quiet Your system should be able to get at least a 430 FSB and then you'd see HUGE boosts in all your benchmarks. Turn your multiplier to 10.5x215 @ 1.675vcore and watch her FLY!!! Cheers! Â Hooded Rat ]|[RP]|[ alias BONECRACKER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirius Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 (edited) I'm still condused. I can only get a 11x multiplier. I thought the motherboard could change that. (it has a setting that you can, but no matter what you tell it, it wont work.  need help   Oh by the way, it may say that it is a 3200+, but really its only performing at a 2700+ level. Just found that one out myself Edited December 8, 2003 by Sirius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuZziELiTLpAnDa Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Oh by the way, it may say that it is a 3200+, but really its only performing at a 2700+ level. Just found that one out myself ? please explain this to me. i thought if it says its running at 3200xp, it should be running at 3200xp speeds? anyways the picture below is of my latest overclock. i managed to get a little bit more out of the chip by setting my memory to pc3200.

smithy Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 (edited) If your above 2.2mhz you have already achieved levels of 3200xp. So your fine. Get SiSoftware Sandra and run your cpu benchmark- At the bottom it will tell you what your machine is achieving vs Pentiums and other AMD systems. Thats a fine overclock- you should be happy.

Guest FxXP Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 It's a good thing that Corsair XMS comes with ramsinks. I can see that RAM running hot being clocked from 333 to 446 (DDR). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuZziELiTLpAnDa Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 do u guys think its bad overclocking my ram as much as i have? my temps are 24/36 idle and under full load 24/50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 You are pushing it quite a bit for PC2700, however the ramsinks will pro-long the life of the RAM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I'm still condused. I can only get a 11x multiplier. I thought the motherboard could change that. (it has a setting that you can, but no matter what you tell it, it wont work. I dont recall what the exact option was, but I believe it is right below the multiplier option. It controls whether the multiplier is locked at 11 or if its user defined. If you already tried this, then yeah, you have a locked chip...
