overclocking amd 2800 athlon xp

ok stryker as jonni said which of the 2 control did you use you can only use one. i prefer and is recommend by everybody that you use the manual control knob either 3.5 bay or pci but not both.

Great for learning about my nf7 v2 Dr.XP always talks about. I have one my self, and it is the easiest to OC.

The updated bios that I lost my 3200 settings.

http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/download/bios/nf7-s2.htm

I told you guys before that in 1 touch of my pageup button got my cpu to run from 2800 to 3200. I have 1 gig of 3200kingston dual ddr. Only because I play a Mod of Battlefield 1942 called Forgotten Hope. Which I just couldn't deal with the long loading times with just 512dual drr.

When I updated my bios to the latest, they took that feature away, I manually had to config my bios to 3200, and then windows didn't reconize the cpu. So I loaded a custom bios made by ABIT-NF7D26-MantaRaysXT, this gave me back that option and then some. Really nice I must say. So if you guys haven't messed with custom bios's, try this one for start. Make a back up of your bios first, just in case of a bad flash.

I am still using my mobile 2800 in my desktop, even though it runs cooler, I can't reach the benchmarks I once had with my unlocked 2800. I only plan to have this chip for about 1 more month, so I'll manage for now. But really, don't listen to all this bs about the mobiles are better then original 2800's, because it's just not true. Newegg is the one selling them, look at my last post to find out more about it. Well, just wanted to let you guys with the nf7 boards about these custom bios's. Laterz.

 

No, I did not use the sensor and only one control,3.5in front bay, is used and yes the jumper is in place.

 

ok, have you tried using the pci one to see if that works could be a faulty 3.5 controller ?

 

PCI control doesn't work either. Hmmmmm............

 

what about if you connect the temp sensor and run the pc under load for a bit, you will without a doubt be able to hear it kick in, do you have a temp utility that shows fan speed as well so that you can get a visual on the fan speed increase as it happens

 

You mean place the sensor under the cpu, or just plug it in. I have an MSI K7N2 Delta2 mobo with temp sensor and fan rpms. CPU fan is running around 4800.

 

place the sensor under the cpu, pain i know but could be worth a try.... also heres the tech support link for thermaltake http://www.thermaltake.com/contact/support.asp

 

striker in your earlier post you said

the jumper ain't supposed to be in place when using the manual speed controller http://www.thermaltake.com/support/installguide/coolers/a1745v12.pdf .... hope this solves your problem

 

people lets put it together...

ok you put the grease you place the monter hsf on the socket. volcano has 3 wires 1 yellow one a single wire you plug that in cpu fan one thats not for power the fan its for rpm measure,,

the other 2 3pin conectore one is for either the pci or 3.5 bay the las one is for powering the noisy 3 blade fan

 

jonni3 I don't know how I missed that. I removed jumper and manual control works fine. Thanks.

 

striker keep it up to max jejejeeje

 

striker, glad we got you working properly

 

Keep it to max until you go to sleep...trust me...If your computer is in another room that is different from the one you sleep in, then do what you want lol. I missed a class because i couldn't hear my alarm clock because it was so loud. Now get a Thermaltake Giant III if you're into gaming. That thing cools off the ole graphics card soo well!

 

You guys have been a big help. Sorry I'm such a novice. I'm getting another xp2800, until then, I'm stuck with my 1600. And yes, this fan is loud and I've already checked out the giantIII. Does it matter what graphics card? I have BFG Nvidia FX5600 256MB. I know, I know, I need the 6800!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

if you get the Thermaltake Giant III wait till you switch that 9000rpm blower fan on ... that with volcano 12 on full tilt redifne's loud ... i had a BFG o.c'd 5200 untill last week now it lives in my parents pc , you could squeeze some more out of that 5600 with rivatuner

 

LOL, glad I've got a 500wtt power supply!!

 

Hey guys, i just got the volcano 12 and they werent kidding when they said its like a vaccum cleaner! Anyways, i bought some pc nanotherm at the xoxide website, they said it was better than artic silver and now my comp hit 72 degrees idle, does that mean that it didnt work or did i not apply enough? What do you guys think, should i reapply more or just go with the artic silver? Also, should i unhook everything, and unscrew my motherboard and then apply it on or do you guys just leave everything in the case and do it? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Go with the aritc silver 5, can't beat the stuff...your temps are way to high at 72c, i think the cpu die is only rated upto 65c . with the V12 fitted and runing full tilt you should be seeing around 38c idle , best to take mobo out so old gunk can be cleaned off properly and nice new artic silver 5 can be applied....one last was your temps in centigrade or farenheit ?

 

hey striker i fully reccomend the 6800gt if ur gaming, i have an MSI 6800GT o/c to 405 core and 1100 memory with an XP 2800+ o/c to 2500mhz and 1gb pc3200, everything is on max settings in games without a glitch.... well worth the bucks!!!
