| Barton 2500+ overclocked.... and quietly! I have just got a new system and I need any advice on how far I can take the oc... and how to do it! Spec : ASUS A7N8X nforce 2 AMD barton 2500oem (1840Mhz roughly) Oc'd : Multiplier 12.5x to roughty 2000Mhz... Cooled with the Zalman flower Radeon 9700pro (powercolor) (I have the zalman passive cooler, but it isn't installed yet... I wanted to get the cpu oc'd right first... befre adding any extra potential heat from the radeon) Yamaha SW1000 Corsair XMS3200 Now, I'm new to overclocking... so please bear with me.... What kind of overclock do you think I could get with this setup? Do I need to unlock the cpu to obtain higher FSB's ? Do I need to lock the pci-and agp speedS? where is the option in the bios ? Any tips on the a7n8x bios appreciated! i haven't adjusted any voltages yet, and the system seems fairly stable ( although I haven't really stressed it yet) 3Dmark01 = 14400 or thereabouts... Am I getting a decent result for this setup? or can i expect to push alot more out of it? I cannot seem to go any further than a multiplyer at 12.5x .... Would I need to start increasing the FSB from 166? or can I unlock the multiplyers above 12.5 somehow? I appreciate that a more aggressive cooler would allow better overclocking, but I am actually looking for the best compromise between speed performance and acoustic performance. I hope that the set-up I have is heading in that direction.... Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom! p. |

| No, I haven't adjusted the FSB at all. So it is at the standard 166/333 FSB.... Can the Barton do 200FSB? .... If I don't get the processor and FSB running synchronously at 400Mhz, will I not suffer a performance hit? What kind of temperature increase would I expect if I increase the FSB to 400... If I am to increase the FSB, should I reduce the multiplier of the processor to below 11x to ensure stability.... Is having the FSB at 200/400 but with the processor underclocked better than overclocking the processor but having the FSB at stock speeds? I've got a couple of aquaintences in Croatia... and a pal that did some dj'ing over there... did you go to any of the 'kinky afro' sessions with Robbie from Scotland? |

At the momment,we started a discussion about this topic,i heard some rumours AMD stated that Bartons over 3200 would go on 400 FSB!! So i asked you if your mobo has this capability?That'd be cool 400FSB with 400 Corsair CL2 Huh?  | |
