overclocking amd 2800 athlon xp

i think it will fit
i hope so
um its a mid tower case

well im from melbourne
so the Monash University isnt far from my house

 

Sure Molks I have a:
500 Watt Power supply
V-core setting - 1.7
FSB 200 Mhz
Multiplier - 12.0

The power supply came with the case so i couldnt tell you what kind it is. You may be able to check it out on Str8buy.com since that is where i got the case.

 

Hello guys im back,, i got married last sunday(12/12) spend 4 days on honey moon but now im back this thread is getting really cool day by day..

 

Congrats on the marriage I hope it is as blissful as mine! Just in the week or so I have been watching and reading this thread it simply has become amazing! Everyone is putting in thier two cents worth teaching others! Once again, congrats!

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to take an Athlon Xp 2800+ to 3.0Ghz without liquid?

 

thanks capncrash, it is a bless im very happy.

well kalunyoku 3.0 ive never seen anybody doing that and specially air cooling!!.

but who knows?!!
can be done if your mobo or cpu can take 240 fsb and maybe vcore of 1.8 or 1.9volts who knows?? and will it be stable that another story jejejeje

 

I dunno, I think i want to be the first person to OC a 2800 to 3 just on air cooling. if it gets too hot, my computer will shut off or lock up...if i even make it past booting up. I figured if i set my FSB to 200 and my multiplier to 15 i may be able to do it, and a vcore of 1.8. I know 5 fans probably won't be enough, but maybe if i opened a window and a door and let a breeze come in, with my case open.(it is december you know) and I may be able to do it for a short while. It's worth a try though. Then again, a 2800 at 2.4 like mine is fast enough for me.

 

kalu go for it!!! remember that good mem like ddr 400 will help on stability or ddr 550 like mine because of the cpu/ram ratio 1:1.

let us know!!


overclocking is not about the numbers!

 

Oi lads, plz, If you are going to talk off topic, about water cooling, then yes I for one would like some experience. I got my hands on a black ice pro II dual with this n that for a good price, do you go for a pump with high volume flow or a slower steadier flow?

 

kalunjoku, I think you are a bit optimistic dude, blo0dy 'ell nipper 3.0Ghz on air could be done if you are an eskimo, or perhaps in the vacuum of space with a big can of pressurised air jetting onto it! (where on earth are you?)

 

Hey kalujoku Im not trying to discourage you but with that kind of overclock you will have to dissipate about 137 Watts of power with a Vcore of 1.9 at 15 x 200 Mhz FSB !) But hey keep up the good work and let us know how you get on.

 

Im in Kentucky and it's around 30 degrees right now. Its starting to snow and the wind is blowing at a good speed. This seems like perfect time to do it. Wish me luck! I'll tell you all how it goes.

 

good luck!!!

 

hey all
well
im in the progress of upgrading my PSU to a Thermaltake 560watts
and i have added a Zalman Reserator 1 waterclooing in
when i install them ill keep you intouch

 

DUUUUUUUUDE niiiiice very cool!

 

yeah i cant wait to get them
hopefully by the end of this week

 

NICE!!! A POWERFUL PSU IS VERY IMPORTANT IN OVERCLOCKING!!

 

yeah about time i guess
i wont to try get 2500mhz
thats my aim hope i get it

 

First of all, Merry Christmas everyone!
Here are my specs:
Athlon barton 2800+, Kingston ddr400 512mb + kingston ddr400 256mb, Asus A7n8x-E, geforce 5900fx, Seagate 80gb SATA,PSU Enermax 450w.

I just got my CPU oced to 2375mhz, FSB 190 and vcore 1.850volts. Is this optimal? I cant go further, but i still have 191~194 to try. Do u think i should keep it like this or push it to it's limits??? I also tested it out w/ Prime95 for 9 hours and there are no errors now.
I managed to get idle temp at 52c and loads temps oafter 9hrs @ 57c.
Thanks,
Michael

 

mickle, you probably should lower the vore settings to 1.7. 1.8 isnt very safe for the processor. My 2800 XP is up to 2.41 and my vcore is at 1.7. I just increased my fsb to 200 and my multiplier to 12. Its fast too. Make sure you have proper cooling when overclocking your processor too.
