HI i recently got abit Nf7s v2 replacing my old and rusty ECS motherboard . As the Cpu i have Athlon Xp 2200+ (thorton) and the memory i use is Patriot 512mb Pc 2700 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220026 As the Graphic Card i use Evga gf6600 gt Agp8x I plan to overclock to at least to Xp 2800+ speed with my current system. Btw! im new in overclocking world so if any of u reply my post and .. i dont know every single words that you talkin bout... please forgive me.. thank you.
Hi, You have the XP2200+ Thornton (1.8GHz)? That is a popular OCing CPU, on 133FSB with a multiplier of 13.5x The overclock to XP2800+ (2.25GHz) sets the FSB to 166MHz. The voltage may need to be increased for both the CPU and memory. With this type of 'factory' OC, the 166FSB-capable mobo supports the CPU with proper dividers for AGP and PCI, so they are nice and stock and stable. Good plan. Should work! L8R
Hi i tried your suggestion.. i move the FSB to 166mhz and the voltage i raised to 1.55v also the Dram voltage i raised to 2.7v The computer boot but with a blank screen.. i dont know wut happen it seems overclocking failure. i clear the cmos and.. i reset the bios to default setting.. could u be more specific...??
Stock voltage for your CPU is 1.65 volt. You will need to increase it from there... 1.75v is like an older model Athlon - try that. If you have good cooling and power supply, you could go higher than that! It will work. But I wouldn't run 1.85v if you find it needs it - it could work but it's probably a bad long-term plan, I dunno... Try ~1.75v first, and see if it will POST :^) Good luck
