Agoia Y week 6 only 1.92ghz?

[Chong345]

I have an xp 2000. The stepping is agoia y week 6. It only goes to 1.92 ghz. This is at 182x10.5. I have 2 volts on it. After folding for 5 hours the temps are at 45-46C. So I wanna oc it some more but it won't go higher. I have tried almost all the fsb's between 182-189. I have tried all volts inbetween 2-2.2. I have an epox 8k3a+. I know something is up cause I can run at 189x10=1890 all the way through 3dmarks. At 189x10.5 I can't get into windows. At 188 I can get in but can't run through 3dmarks without a lockup. Then I kept on trying but I kept locking up at different fsb's and core voltages. I know the fsb isn't the problem. Somebody please help.

have you tried all your multipliers?

[Sayajin]

why dont you try 10x multiplier..
try this 10x198 @ 2.0v if that works go for 2.0ghz 10x200 (maybe your ram is holding you back also)

[CSHawkeye81]

wow that still aint that bad.

[Chong345]

nah I know its not the ram cause If i lower the multiplier it works.

i have one that does 1.8ghz at 1.75v temps around 60ºc (bad)


how high can yours go at 1.75v and what temps?


it´s an 1700+ agoia 9 week 16

What is your 5V status? And what kinds of PSU do you have?

who?

If you overclock your AthlonXP..it's very important to have a good powersupply (PSU). If you haven't got on, then your system will be instable. It will lockup and will reboot by it self.
With motherboardmonitor you can check your 5V+ status...

[Chong345]

my 5v rail is ok. It goes at lowest to like 4.85. That while I'm benching. I didn't know you were asking me earlier that question.

You can try another bios....

[Chong345]

only prob is that with this board I'm using the "fastest bios." This is pretty much the sweet spot in my oc. I can run through 3dmarks at 191x10. But I think that if I could run at 188x10.5 that my scores might be a little higher. I just wanted to test it but since I can't clock that high it kinda sucks. Just seems odd that my temps are really good but I can't go any higher.

[NoStra]

I think you just don't have a blessed AGOIA...live with it ;) Or buy another one..
Tbred 2200+ for instance..

[Chong345]

lol, DaGooch thinks I just need to get it colder but I dunno. He apparantly ran into the same problem.

Yeah over 1900mhz you need to try and keep the XP's below 40c. I got to 1950mhz @ 1.95v's with a old 2000+ (AGOGA 50/01) but that was keeping my CPU temp below 40c (load temp, cold night lots of fans). With watercooling I got to 1980mhz @ 2.05v's....

[NoStra]

Kain...you now got the Xp up and running stable on your KT7a? Or did you bought another board?

[RichBa5tard]

I agree with KAIN, your OC isn't bad at all for such "high" temps.

I think you'll need decent H²O cooling or better to get higher...

[SOCOM]

That isnt bad at all.. Wish my AYHJA 9 could even get above 1550 @ 29C load (when I wa water cooling it). It still does 1550 air cooled in the right case too tho. :)

[Chong345]

I'm probably gonna skip over the water cooling and go phase change. But I gotta save my cash up first.
