overclocking amd 2800 athlon xp

Tech, i still wonder how your cpu can be overclocked and have a vcore of such a low setting.

 

Thats a nice point

Tech,

how do you have your vcore so low and overclokcked so much

i want to know since i cant change the vcore in my mobo

thanks!

 

My guess for Techknow is, AMD Sampron 2800+ 2000MHz 12x 1.60V 90º C. Since he said that he had gotten his chip @ newegg.com. They are pushing the Sampron Chips. I am wondering myself to go to the Socket 939. It has a lot of potential.

Check this out.

I don't know how its so low, since I don't have control over it, I would think that the system would have increased it itself but that is what the MBM5 says. Although I wonder how accurate that reading is since I know that the temp reads out a few degrees different in windows than in BIOS.
When I look at the Health Status in BIOS all it says for Vcore (and all the other voltages) is "OK." I have an Award BIOS...

My chip better not be a Sempron, but it I don't think so since 1) Never indicated it was a Sempron, 2) I have 512K L2 cache.

 

I just went back to Newegg and verified that I bought an OEM barton.

I also noticed something else, that there is a difference in core voltage between the ones that they sold as OEM which were 1.5 volts, and the "retail box" version was 1.65 volts. I wonder if some of us have OEM versions and some have "retail" versions.

 

No, there's no difference. I have an OEM barton as well and it doesnt read a vcore so low. I just wonder how AMD could make a proc like that that could be overclocked the way yours is and operate at such a low voltage. I dont think mine would do anything if i lowered it like that, and i'm at 1.7!

 

That would suck if they accidentally got you a sempron though. What's the use of those anyway. They compare to a celeron or something. Are they making the new 754 and 939 CPUs the new standard?

 

Try it and find out, mine is working and if they are all the same, yours should too.

 

No man, my cpu isnt, wasn't, and never has read anything below 1.6.

 

Well Intel descided to standardize their die size/config probably just to save money, but it seems like AMD and others are going to follow suit.

 

Well again, who knows how acurate my readout is since at this point I don't "officialy" know what the Vcore is from BIOS since it doesn't tell me.

 

U think the 64 will take the new P4's?

 

Don't know, but I do know one thing, AMD has always been good at making fast competitive processors that can keep up with Intels if not beat them sometimes...

 

u play many games on your cpu?

 

Used to but now I just work and stuff, but I do play XBOX quite a bit now.

 

OK technow cpu is a mistery jejejeje. look what`s your cpu stock clockspeed?.

its wierd at first i tought it was a mobile because mobiles run at 1.45 volts.. but they have 256 kb L2 cache not 512 kb or maybe theres a incompatibility issue between sensors in your mobo and cpu.
one other think technow in your bios monitor screen it does or doesn`t list the voltages in numbers like all mobos do?

aceprowl i was checking the 939 cpus the best cost benefit is the 3400+ there are great combo offers at:

It doesn't, it just says "OK"

 

ok maybe is just like ours 1.65 some if you change mobo you will know but is working fine that the important!!.

kolanjoku i think amd is gonna get intel again (my personal opinion) because amd 64 socket 754 and some 939 are more affordable than intel new 775 socket!! even mobos are cheaper ok.
the limitations for amd 64 platform is the via kt880 chipset that doesn`t support pcix 16x,nvidia sli (dual core vga technology) and ddr2. and since the failure of the nvida nforce 3 150 and nforce 3 250 gb the later one intel got a step ahead but war is not over nvidia launch the new nforce 4 that support ddr2,pci-x 16x and sli tech so let see what tomorrow may bring...

939 supports 1Ghz. Hypertransport. That is why I pointed out that chipset. But don't really know if I could afford that chip right now though. I will look into it more tonight.

I started this system out with the NF7(S)V.2 mobo, and 2500barton. I always go with a board that you have the ability to move up in your chipsize. The way AMD is going, they are going to use the 939 chipset for they're top of the line Processors.

Plus it supports PCI-Express as well, in which the 6800's are eating up the competition! I was a nVidia man until the ATI-9700's starting supporting dx9, and so forth, eating up my ti-4600. So got me a 9800pro, and modded it to a 9800xt with a simple flash.

But I will stay with my set-up I have now for another month or 2, just to make sure prices are good. Love my 2800, never did me wrong. I am a very serious gamer, and this has given me the upperhand, and have always owned with it. So when people start catching up to my current system setup. That is when I will move on. hehe.

O, Technow, the 3100+ samprons aren't bad at all. As far is price to performance comparison.

 

THATS! good. hey aceprowl i see one of your system is a 3200+ barton with 400 mhz im planning to get one i cant go for the 939 a64 right now so ill stick to 462 jejeje for a while so is the 77mhz jump from the 333mhz of the 2800+ to the 400mhz of the 3200+ worth it?
let me know.

hey!! technow theres a review about cheap cpus they review the semprom 3100+ scket 754
