Anyone with bad experience OC'ing XP2400+?

[Digital-EX]

Hey I cant get mine stable at any settings no matter what voltage over 140fsb. Weird. Is it my ram? I have put 1.8volts and it still wont run Prime95 stable, it keeps locking up. I can get into windows no problem just wont run prime stable. Anyone who has a bad oc'r like mine please post thx.

11,5*200 no probs

Found out its my watercooler. It just wont keep temps cool when I up the voltage. Im running it stock with 147fsb. ANd its stable as can be. Its just when I want to go higher and up the voltage it locks. Water cooling is all hype. In my opinion. Get a prometia instead.

Coulda told you that one :D

Water cooling is not all hype, but not all water cooling setups are created equal. Just like HSF's some are good, some are bad, and some are amazing.

depends how you set your watersystem up... what your using... ive had nothing but good luck with watercooling now.

as for the prometeia .... im still standing in line :D

The early 2400+ AIUCB core cpus that were released are the poorest overclockers and that is probably what you have. I have a week 42 AIUCB that maxes out at 2350Mhz with 2.32vcore. I run it stable at 2200Mhz with 1.85vcore for every day usage. That is with a Maze3 water cooling setup. The newer cores are getting to 2600Mhz no problem.

Well when I put 1.8 volts it overheats and goes to 55C or higher. WTf. I have a Innovatek. Any tips? Is it the radiator that is not cooling at all? Or is it the cpu stepping that doesnt like voltage.

I totally concur with Havokator my 2400 AIUCB week 42 overclock's pooly. It's 1.9V push to remain stable at 2300MHz and above, and it seems a struggle to hit this mark. I did run 200FSB with marginal stablility at (12.5x200FSB) enough to run benchmarks, and then my OS was corrupt to the point of having to Format, and re-install WinXP. I'm RMA-ing this PIG tomorrow.

yeah whatever ;)

a well setup watercooling sys will kill the best HSF availible....but then a pelt\h20 setup will kill that. then of course phase change kicks everythings butt. it just depends on how Xtreme your willing to go

Not the aiugb week 44 chips. I tested 2 and one wouldn't boot at 2500MHZ at 2.3v. The other one takes 2.1v water cooled to reach 2500mhz so it's not a guaranteed 2600MHZ by any means.

[Digital-EX]

Well this is my new unlocked setup. So far so good. I dont think my chip likes voltage. I have it at 1.75 volts for 175fsb stable.

Run 12.5*200 @ 2V rock stable :)

Nice , I cant get mine to post at 12.5. Any tips?
