Good job :)
Very nice overclock, n8...
So, actually what was the Vcore you had on that chip for the 2100 MHz run?
By the way, what is the color of the CPU's board? Green ou Brown?
N8:)
Sorry I'm late to the party my friend but that is a killer O/C you've attained on that 1600+:toast: Congrats my friend !
Randi:D
Morcego_Pt,
2.2v...and this was only during some quick testing before my vacation. I'll be interested to see what the max speed for 3dmark will be, as this chip acts quite different from my AROIA. Doubt i will have the time tonight, but I will be checkin it out soon :)
And thanks to the rest of ya'll! :D
Just curious... what does the sisoft CPU benchmarks compair with at 1900mhz?
LBJGH,
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking :)
In sandra when you run the cpu bench what processors does your machine come close to.
I prolly won't be runnin sandra again till after I pull it, snap some pics of the core, and unlock the thing. When I get up around 200FSB its hard to tell if instability is caused by the CPU or my Samsung PC2700. I'll report back after its unlocked.
MY LORD!!! :eek: You got that high and im stuck at 170(locked) cause Win98 keeps dieing on me at anything above it. Can you help. Refer to my sig for computer components. Im presently running at default vcore and the ram is running at an increase of .1 voltage. Im willing to try anything to get to those levels. Oh an AWESOME OVERCLOCK!!!! GOOD JOB!!!
Alphawolf829, Welcome to the Forum.:toast:
Thanks. :) Im looking foward to learning from here and overclocking to the max. :toast: :D
Alphawolf829,
There are prolly 4 things that could help you get higher right now:
1) More vcore...if your cooling can handle it.
2) More vmem...if your memory can handle it, which that Corsair "should" be able to.
3) Relaxed memory timings to rule out your memory holding you back right now.
4) Unlock you CPU...makes OC'n these AMD's just that much easier.
As I said before, I will be happy if this thing runs 3D stable @ 2ghz or above, but I won't know untill I unlock it and do further testing. You have a 1/5 divider w/ that mobo so I'd guess that none of you PCI devices are holding you back right now, as you're barely out of spec. Good luck! :)
Edit: My bad, welcome to Xtreme :D
well I have already tried the ram on the "fastest" speed at 2.7 and the CPU with a Vcore of 1.8 but window still died(I didn't go any higher with the voltages or any lower with the ram timings. For the amount of times I tried though I almost have the WIN98 Product Key memorized. Hmmm... Im running 170 currently but when I was at standard vmem it took longer to load, but when I increased it by .1 it loads normally again. I don't know what this means exactly.
Hmm, well for now I would highly recommend unlocking that CPU :)
It makes finding your max stable CPU OC so much easier ;)
Thanks. I'll unlock it eventually.:(
I won't lie ;)
I found it to be a major pain in the arse...but well worth it :)
Hmmm... Is my problem that my clock speed got to high for the HDD or is it the FSB? I would like to know so that when I do unlock it I know whether or not to lower the multiplier and raise the FSB, or raise the Multiplier and leave the FSB.
I would up the mult and lower the FSB then work back up again. If u snag at 170 again, up the mult again :)
I agree it's a pain in the ass unlocking an AthlonXP and it may be worth it depending on which model you are playing with.
I just unlocked my 1600+ and wonder if it was really necessary. The default multiplier is 10.5x and by raising the fsb to 166mhz I was able to run the chip at 1750mhz at the default voltage. I might be able to run 180mhz fsb which would give me approximately 1900mhz without changing the multiplier.
I guess the advantage to changing the multiplier is that I can use 166mhz fsb (maintaining default pci/agp speeds) and run the chip at 1916mhz. If the system is unstable with the default agp/pci then I know it's the CPU that can't cut it.

Hehe...yea, there are times you will find you will end up runnin the default mult anyway...but, when you hit a wall, and you don't have another unlocked chip to test your max FSB, its nice to be able to play with the mult/fsb rather than just uppin the FSB...like if your ram is holdin ya back, or ya wanna run say 166fsb to keep your devices in spec :)
I've actually had my memory up to 190mhz but had to use more conservative memory timing. I can run up to 170mhz at cas2.
I like to keep the pci/agp within spec so that I can determine what the CHIP will do before I add fsb to the equation.

Any update on this? I am keen to see the prime95 stable speeds @ default, 1.85v, and 2.15v. :)
Me too, but I actually haven't pulled the CPU back out yet to unlock it due to a couple reasons. Very tuff times at work this week exhausting me...and, I have my 3 rigs folding for the team because of all the talk of hotmail on our arse :)
I will prolly do 1.85v & 2.2v...if my cooling can hang w/ 2.2v and prime. I ran my aroia @ 1900 w/ 2.2v and got around ok, but i never put it thru prime or anything w/ constant stress like that(i.e. folding).
So, right now she is sitting @ only 166FSB, default voltage, folding away. Ain't even bothered to lower the vcore any, even tho @ 1750MHz I'm sure I can. I do know that its folded for a few days now w/o any sign of errors :P
Im back on aircooling at the moment, and the highest i can get my XP2000 is 1888 @ 1.85v Prime95 stable (spent the last few days priming, flasking, and folding, and shes as stable as a rock).
Not sure if i want to plug in the Vmod tho, and feed her 2v for an additional 100mhz tho :(
Hell I bought H2O equipment a few months ago and ain't even found the time to put it on. Not sure that its gonna get me anywhere further anyway, other than perhaps a few degrees drop in load temp, and a little quieter :)
If I can get this thing stable @ 2GHz w/ whatever cooling I end up using, I'll be extremely happy w/ the chip. 600MHz OC on a $50 chip...gd I love u AMD. :D
