Post Barton 2500+ Results Plz

[twiztdskatr]

I would like to see how high the 2500+ bartons have gone around here...

Please Post:
Full Stepping code (if possible)
Maximum Ghz
Voltage
Cooling
Where it was purchased

Hey twiztdskatr - How is it your sig says Ver 2.0 board and bios 1.7?
The 1.7 bios is for the 1.2 and older boards........

hmmmmm....

Regards-

[KingInge2000]

2700 MHz (13.5 x 200)
2.08V
NF7-S Rev. 2.0
Prometeia

[shortcircuit]

The machine in my sig named Thesenuts is running an XP2500...

2340mhz @ 1.9v
Epox 8K5A2+ Mobo (KT333)
SLK-900U Heatsink + Akasa 80mm fan

I don't remember the stepping but it's an early one - I bought this chip as soon as they were available. It was bought in Belgium. I have not tried it on the prometia yet but think it might actually run better than my xp3000+ since it goes a bit faster than the xp3000+ on air. The xp3000 does 2.8ghz on the prometia.

2640MHz rock stable
watercooling
best screen@2800MHz

[Boogotop]

2500+ (0307)
2760mhz 12x230 24/7 use
2.05v
prometeia cooled

[donny_paycheck]

12x220 = 2640mhz @ 2.1v, Prometeia cooled to -30C evap temp.




BUT:

I can't even get into WinXP over 200FSB using the most relaxed DRAM timings and highest voltages. The DRAM is 2x 512mb sticks of Corsair XMS3500CL2 Rev. 1.1, and the mobo is an Epox 8RGA.

Anyway, I know I can kick this chip through the roof. It's my mobo/RAM holding me back, and I have NO IDEA what my problem is right now.

[zakelwe]

2420Mhz aircooled with SK7 and 80mm delta at 2.1v.

This is stable enough to run 3dmark.

Andy

[cpulloverclock]

my max with a water cooling

[Marquzz]

2500+@11x222 with 2V. Havent cut the L12 yet so that's why the fsb's so low...
Maze3 + Heatercore.
It's a 0307MPM '4'

[twiztdskatr]

Thx guys, im gonna get a prometia this summer and im getting 2500+ in about a week.

Great OC's guys.

Are you using the onboard graphics? As discussed in my review here, under "Effect of FSB".

2. 3D Mark kicks back to the desktop at 11.5 X 204, and I get crazy corruption even in Windows at 12 X 212. This is strange, as I could run these settings perfectly with an AGP card present. Increasing the Vdd to 2.0 V makes no difference to this whatsoever. My personal feeling is that it could well be a heat problem, should slap an 80 W pelt on and see if it makes any difference!

I can run up to 218 MHz rock solid stable when using an AGP card, however when using the onboard graphics, I can't use more than 190-odd MHz FSB.

Very good article, thanks for linking me to it. But no, I am using a Radeon 9700 Pro.

From the concluding portion of your article:

Clearly the ability to reach high FSBs is removed when using the onboard graphics. I could not get over 200 MHz FSB stable while using the onboard graphics even with 2.0 Vdd, however using an AGP card I have 3D Marked at 218 MHz dual channel and 225 MHz single channel. Clearly there is some sort of NB issue here, be it heat or inbuilt transfer limits, that limits the FSB used to less than 200 MHz.

That's very good to know. The problem I am encountering would make sense to me, if I were using the onboard graphics. It is very curious to me that this problem arises even as I use an AGP video card.

Thanks for your help. If you know anything else I'd further appreciate it too.

It is not good news but it is quite old now and maybe there is a fix. Basically some bartons just don't like 200FSB.

Greetings to everybody here in the forum.

This is my 1st post here.

Now...here are my results from my XP2500+

AXDA25000KV4D
9746398260555
AQUCA0309SPAW

These are air-cooled using AMD's hsf

[donny_paycheck]

/\/\/\ Very nice. Did you have to do anything special to hit such a high FSB with your 8RGA/Barton combo? I have an 8RGA and I can barely pass 200FSB.

In another thread, others are suggesting I blow the bridge that makes it a 166FSB chip to fix my problem. Interesting link. Thanks for your help!

[Boogotop]

for the 8rda+ and 8rga just put off the jumper on the mobo to force 133fsb and after you will get 200 and more

all AMD with 333fsb don't like high fsb....you can cut bridge to force 133fsb or on 8rda,8rga just remove the jumper to force 133fsb....just try it....you will see....that work great for me!

[donny_paycheck]

Yep, I just pulled the jumper off and I'm running at 225FSB with 1.8Vdd. Thanks!

[Boogotop]

[Tettejaak]

Damn, these oc's are too great They might be prometeia cooled, but it's still great. I'm only running@10,5x223. Maybe time for some more experiments!! I would just love to hit 2,5Ghz or above Maybe the Geil ram is holding me back, but i'm getting some corsair this week, so maybe i can push it higher. I haven't tested many other multi's so i hope there's something i can do about those poor 2343 Mhz

[SPQQKY]

Here is my Barton 2500+ after only a few hours of having it. I haven't really pushed it any more since. All air cooled with Vantec AeroFlow.

Here is my barton 2500+ @ 2.1V

1. What stepping is it?
2. What cooling? (I assume vapo PE)

Nice overclock btw.

[Zroc]

The 2500+ I used in the roundup (stickied up top) hit 2400MHz/200 FSB dual-channel with an SLK-800u and 2.0v.
Don't know the stepping info, though...

[megatron]

Bump - Epox users only need to remove jclk jumper - no l12 mod necessary!
