OCing my 1700+ mmmmm

[Brian]

I got a 1700+ Blue JIUHB Athlon, and I have OCed it to beyond a 2200+ with a 14x multiplier. I am aiming to get it past a 2800+ but I may have to wait to get some water cooling...

The CPU temp at 1700+ (default) was 40*C and now at 2200+ it is at 42*C.

How sweet is that? I will OC this mutha more tomarrow :-D

I was just fiddling around cuz I was OCing my FSB to test some Corsair 3500 ram (review up soon)

[ELiTE KiLLaH]

mine is just 50mhz shy of 1800mhz, but with default (1.6v for this one) its good

its a not bad ocer, but to get up to 1800+mhz i need like 1.7-1.8vcpre...
its one of the earlier ones, that dont scale all that well


i also have an xp2100+ @ 2200mhz at 1.65v
to go to 2300mhz or higher ...maybe around 2350mhzish, i need 1.8v +, and id rather have th lower vcore than have an extra 100mhz lol

[fhetw]

the stepping and date is more important that the color of the core. was is the date/production patch and is it dlt3c or dut3c?

[Brian]

DLT3C

JIUHB:0310XPMW

I know the type matters more than the core, we have already talked about that :-P

[ELiTE KiLLaH]

damn guy what are you doing at 1.8ghz with that still??!
should be around 2.2-2.3 by now lol

waht mobo do u have?

[Brian]

I havent spent any time OCing it, i just put mult at 14 and booted... i haven't pushed it at all, didn't have time.

Tomarrow I am going to see how far I can go.

[Brian]

I am using the KT400A LanParty mobo, but that isn't an issue.

Oh btw, anyone know if there is some trick to getting the fsb past 166? My comp won't even post if I try 200 fsb. I lowered the mult so the clock speed was still around 1.4 just in case.

[Brian]

mmmm 2.412 ghz... mmmm

CPU Voltage @ 1.75

52*C with an Aeroflow... can't wait til I get my water cooling... then I shall oc some more :-D

[ELiTE KiLLaH]

unless theres a 1/6 ratio for pci to cpu, 200fsb is next to impossible

best bet is to just up the fst to 166 and whatever past that, then just up the multiplier

[fhetw]

12x201? or something else
2.412 is an average->above average o/c on air. little warmer than those on slks though. get your w/c already! or a prommy

[Kurtis]

prommy costs way too much. isn't worth the extra cost :P

[Brian]

Actually, right now I am using pc2100, so I have the fsb at 133 and the mult at 18.

Im about to steal the pc3500 back from kurtis and try to get 217 fsb and mult from there.

[handrail]

i tried to OC my 2100 and it wouldn't even boot up.

i have an asus board, and upped the multiplier and it halted the machine at start up.

i can up the 133/33 deal, whatever that is called, can't recall at the moment. that just ups the heat output. mine sits around 40 at idle, partly because of the ambient air i think, but i never goes about 43.

anyway, i suck at OCing. maybe with my new machine i will give it a better go.

[ELiTE KiLLaH]

how did you up the multiplier? (dip swtich/jumper on the mobo, or was it thyrough the bios?)

if its an older palomino core xp2100, the multipliers were locked so in order to change the multiplier, you'd have to fill in a few really small "valleys" and paint over with something electrically conductive

check (http://www.extensiontech.net/articles/howto/ocguidept1.shtml) this guide thing out i wrote if you want to learn more about the basic "how to" pertaining to overclocking

and that 133/33 thing you refer to is the freq of operation for different components. the 133 refers to the cpu, and the 33 refers to the pci bus

[handrail]

thanks killah.

great guide, btw.

i did the multiplier via the bios. i my chip is a palomino, so like you said, i would have to jack the thing with conductive material.

hmmm, i shall look into things.

thanks again

[brbubba]

1700+ @ 2100mhz 10.5 x 200 on an Asus A7N8X Deluxe. The thing went to 2200 mhz, but was unstable when throttled. It also posted and was booting at 2300mhz but quickly froze. Meaning if you had good enough cooling you would have a 3000+, obviously minus the higher processor bus speed.

[fhetw]

brbubba whats the stepping on your 1700+, what ram/timings are you using, cooling, etc..

prommy is worth the price compared to a good w/c // peltier setup if youre going for sheer power / oc. JUST $1-300. :p

[Brian]

Yeah, you can spend 600 bucks to overclock a 1700 to a 3000+, or you can buy a 3000 for half the price. Makes sense to me ???

[Kurtis]

huh?

[brbubba]

Oh whoops sorry. It's the JIUHB core, don't know the other numbers.

Heatsink: Vantec Aeroflow
RAM: Corsair 3200 XMS, the timing is 2,2,2 I believe or that's what it is rated at.

So no exotic setup, although i would like one of those Corsair Hydrocool puppies.

[Brian]

Kurtis, It was a response to fhetw. He was suggesting that brbubba should get a prommy setup which is about 600 for the cheapest to overclock his 1700 to 3000. What I was saying is why would he spend 600 bucks getting 1700 to a 3000 when he could get a 3000 for half as much.

"huh?"

[Kurtis]

ah okay i see. prometia is excessive :P
however the point fhetw has is that you can get another proc later and oc that.

[handrail]

well, as Killah told me, the multiplier on my 2100 palomino is stuck at 13. i managed to get the MHz from 1733 to 1860ish just using the cpu/pci freq. in the BIOS. anything beyond that and it won't post. however, the heat output isn't worth the extra 100MHz in my opinion.

however, my buddy and i did manage to O/C his barton 2500 to a 3200. it runs stable and with the fans up it stays around 35C!!!. not bad benchmarks either. it is very close to the marks for a true 3200, but he is running the asus a7n8x with the 333FSB, so a little less would be expected out of an O/Ced 2500 compared to a true 3200 on a 400FSB board.

my new rig will be the same as his, so i know what i will be doing to it.

O/Cing is fun.[/quote]
