Overclocking

nayked · 03-11-2004, 01:59 PM

Whats up!! I am still new to this forum but you guys seem to give the best advice. I have a unlocked barton xp2500 and a abit nf7 mobo. Witch you guys recomended. I couldnt be more stoked right now. I love it!!

I starter overclocking a little last night. Here is my question that i need help with..
OC using the multipler or bus speed. At default its set 11x166. I went to 11.5x166 then i went to 12x166. No probs at all. While plaing Generals in the most intense part od the game the temp was at 104F.

Should i OC bumping up the BUS or the multiplier? It is a unlocked Barton!

Well, i need to know what kind of ram you're using, and what kind of cooling you're using. without that it's impossible to make a good estimate, but you'd be smart to raise that FSB. For instance, running a CPU at 2200MHz (210x10.5) will give you significantly better performance than 184x12.

Geil 2@256 Dual DDR400, 6-3-2-2. I have a Volcano 12 that is loud as hell!! Lapped to a mirror finish(i work in a machine shop) Artic silver 5. 2 fans in the front of the case, 2 on the rear of the case and a blowhole on the top. I have a LCD pannel that tells me the temp of the case and the temp of the chip. all cabled are rounded and all wires have been sleeved. So rasing the bus speed will preform beter than rasing the muliplier? If my barton was locked couldnt i still raise the bus? Should i raise the bus like 2 at a time?

im very sry i'll ask a hardware friend owkey!!!!!

As i looked around.. You were right. Raising the FSB is beter than using the multiplier. Thanks.
Im in no hurry so should i just bump it up a little every morning and watch the temps?

Another question if you dont mind? In my bios its set it auto timings for my ram. Should i put the 6-3-2-2 in my bios?

Thanks again...

auto settings are going to adjust the ram best suited towards the oem qualifications of the ram. my 512 mb geil 3200 has a cas of 2.5-6-3-3. it wasnt so in the bios-so i changed it manually. i also upped the voltage a tad bit - still very stable.
