I just finished OCing my XP2400+

I am running 15X150 @ 1.75v Core.

I am getting 2256Mhz out of this OC

My Temps are funny. MBM5 Reports 45C to 46C and Fuzzy Logic reports 49C to 50C? Odd.

I am running with my side pannel off, so I am going to shut down and reattach it and see what temps I get.

Cheers,
 
Cool, nice overclock. You might see if you can lower the multiplier and raise the FSB a little. The higher the fsb, the better, even if it's slightly slower.

Just my two cents!
 
Hi,

Ok I rebooted, and put my case panel back on. I also closed my window (its cold out). My temps are 50C at Idle on MBM5 and 54C on Fuzzy Logic 4.

I am running an MSI-6712 v1 I don't know the stepping on my CPU.

How do I change the Multiplier? Don't I have to unlock the CPU?

Cheers,
 
u should have the functions listed above in your BIOS. with that ram u should easily get 166 FSB. just lower your clock multiplier from 15 down some cuz that is a nice O/C already.

p.s. - it's as good as sex ain't it !!!!:eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Is your CPU a mobile by chance? If so, there should be an option in your bios to change the multi, mo unlocking necessary. I'm not familiar with that board, but your mobo manuel should cover it. If it's not a mobile chip, do a google for pin modding. The pin mod will allow you to change the multi by putting little pieces of wire in the CPU socket. It's really not as bad as it sounds. ;)

Good luck!
 
Well i don't have much advice, so i will just say welcome to the club

Bah I tried changing the Multiplier, and she wouldn't post. I changed it to 12X but do I need to change the FSB at the same time?

Running around 48C with the window open. What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

Never bought it as a mobile. I got it a while ago (8 months or so). I can give you the SI info. Sorry its long.

Performance Tips
 
Here is my CPUZ Info.

I read the review, but is it because of my Mainboard that I can't get anything else out of it? What else could it be.

Anyway I am hitting the hay.

Cheers,
 
If I am translating correctly from your sig, you are running a KT333 chipset board. In that case, you probably cannot change the multiplier without connecting some bridges or something. Also, the board doesn't have PCI/AGP lock so you probably won't be able to raise the FSB a whole lot. What you have done so far isn't bad.
 
That information really helps! So I take it its my Mainboard that is causing the hold up.

If I were to change the board what would I stick in there? Or is all this useless, and the 250Mhz overclock should be enough?

Cheers,
 
Ok updated my BIOS to 1.9 AMI. I am getting a safe 2271Mhz out of my processor, and this BIOS revision is giving me temps of 40C for the Proc.

I am thinking of playing with it a little later, and thanks for all your input!

Cheers,
 
Your multiplier is locked by AMD. You have to use glue and some electric conductive silver paste to connect some parts of the cpu. I won't go into detail but you can look it up on the how to at tomshardware.com
If its a barton core you're running it may be unlockable depending on how late you got it.
If my info is wrong feel free to flame me. Its late here.
 
Nice OC, but you've gotta find some way to get that mutliplier down and that fsb up. That's the problem with those 266 thoroghbreds, the multiplier is so high because they were only designed to go at 15x133, so if you can unlock it, raise the fsb to 166+ and see where you can get the multiplier to be stable (13?) Your temps aren't bad...how's the aeroflow workin out for you? I've heard the TMD fan has some problems with reliability, although its nice and quiet.

TMD Fan: First one died after 1 min. This one has been going strong for 9 months. I was having concerns because my temps where 50C and above (50C to 53C)

Well I updated, and They havent gone above 45. I have yet to stress it, but I take it 44C aircooled is pretty good (not perfect mind you).

As for Unlocking the Core, I will have to look that up. Thanks
