overclocking amd 2800 athlon xp

Wow, I missed a lot this weekend. Took me a while to get caught up. Speaking of apps for finding system info, SiSoftware Sandra works quite well. You can find a trial version at Download.com. It will also give you an estimate of what Athlon XP model number your chip is equal to.

 

Or for instance, as compared to t-birds (not that i'm braggin' or nothin' , my athlon 2800+ xp Barton runs at 2.39ghz and fsb 382mhz (Sandra calls it a 3400+)...handles FPU calculation ALMost as good as pentium 3.6 weeniehurtzes :stoke:,.

On the other foot, I have had a few crashes running Battlefield Vietnam, Point of Existence mod with 40 bots scurrying around for tar-git practice (spit chew here ...doh says barton? hope it's the mod, I pray..

me go back to wasting GI now...

 

just as i side note, Praetor, i c that u have upgraded your machine! (took me a while to find out).

Now Sandra, I took a look on mine, and it says 2700+, so I'm fine with whatever i have.

 

Hi again,

Ok, so I should probably leave well enough alone with where I currently am on my processor speed with 2700 ram. That's what I am understanding.

Here's a different direction:

I am VERY happy, and always have been, with my video card. I use Rage 3D Tweak and have the overclocker set to 333 core clock and 315 mem clock speed. I dont have any mods to the card, but is there any good and/ or safe way to push the overclocking on my card without a different fan or special cooling? I'm just curious on some of the things you guys may have tried.....

Thanks

 

Hi all,

Has this thread ended? Or am I visiting the wrong spot?

hmm

 

JAGERB yeah wheres everybody? numbers,qstion?.

by the way i got the volcano 12 and im waiting for my kingston hyper x 512 dual channel pc-3700 to arrive to start with xtreme overc jejejeje.

 

Hey found a screenshot of sum1 overcloking a 2800+ t-bred to up to 3.0ghz, 9th pic down

http://www.vr-zone.com/guides/AMD/TBred/page2.htm

Is this insanity??

and as for the 2.8 t-bred and 2.8 barton, yes higher cache but in many tests the 2.8 t-bred actually out performs the 3.0 barton

 

boy is that real i wonder what cooling they use must be water????

 

i looked up Prometeia cooling its a refridgeration cooling system can bring the cpu to sub zero temps

http://www.extremeprometeia.com/acatalog/Mach_II_units.html

too expensive to be practical, an overclockers dream tho apparently with it you can get a 1.7 reaching up too 2800 speeds

 

Wow, that's awesome. I don't know if i would want to go too subzero with the chip. Maybe somewhere around 5C or 6C would be a nice temp. But, like you said, it is an expensive toy. You would need a chip worthy of such a cooling system.

 

youre right tcialek that xpensive i was thinking in a portable A/C that is that same size for outdoor camping is not that xpensive.

 

hey guys, check out these threads for more oc'ing fun and games.

guys knows more than i do, that's fur sure. Seems to suggest that more vcore is ok (up to 1.85v) if ur temps are ok.

 

hey nice post!!
good guide for most of us!!
they are the gurus we are the guys that stay up afterdawn overclocking!!!



^^overclocking is not about the numbers^^

 

hey all
im new to this forums

i like to say ive got a 2800+ for nearly 2 years now
and i have only overclocked it just recent

i have oc the 2800+ to run at 2215mHz
i have my vcore at 1.70
my idle temp is 49-50c
with a stock fan

i wont to oc it more can anyone tell me what is the max i can go with a stock fan?

 

Hey inacoma,

You managed to get an xp2800 quite a while ago eh? Not bad, since the multiplier is unlocked. (is it a barton?) I have been running a couple of overclocked chips with non stock fans, and I would recommend a bigger fan than the stock ones. I would not be too suprised if you could get a higher speed with that chip but you could have to up the Vcore. I will say though that you will have to ensure that the cooling is more adequate, as stability will depend on it.

I would run try yours upto 1.8V aiming at 1.775 ish and you could get 2300Mhz stable. With a stock heatsink/fan tho, it will probably get too hot. If your power supply is a good one you could stay at 1.75V. The increase in speed you would see is virtually non existent however, unless you change the multiplier and get a higher FSB, with that same core speed you have. I reckon your current oc is a good long term option with the stock fan etc. (Darn I can t read.. I saw you said IDLE temp is 49-50.. that would be 57 under full load, in winter, summer much hotter. OK leave the CPU where it is!!)

 

Hello inacoma welcome to the forum.. well every system is different cpus different,mem sticks etc..
your cpu is lock or unlock maybe is unlock because bartons below week 39 2003 suppose to be unlock (so you can move the multiplier).
your cpu stock settings are:
clockspeed: 2083 mhz.
fsb: 333mhz
cache 512kb

internal bus 166mhz
multiplier 12.5
166x12.5= 2083

look overclocking is about trying and trying until you get the highest and stable settings( youre own xperience).

i read about people how jump their 2800+ to 2.5ghz stable(they say).

and people like me who try 2.3ghz but pretty unstable
still dont know why but...ill get there..

again about the multiplier is unlock you can decrease your mult values and try higher fsb and of course increase your vcore but careful try not past from 1.85vcore amd recomment..

so try good louck and share your xperience with us:

¨¨overclocking is not just about the numbers:::

 

hello molks and dr.xp
thanx for the info

yeah ive had it a long time mine is a barton,
ive tryed to up the fsb to 180 on 1.70 vcore
but it will get to windows and then if i try to do something it will reset,
whereabouts in the bios can you change the Multiply? because mine is on 12.5 should i change it?

i wont to ask you what fan to you Recommend

 

inacoma you can do it remember is try and try, if you get no video or system crash just reset your bios..

and read a lot about what youre planning to do
read in forums,webpages etc...

good luck
try tu decrease your multiplier and try higher fsb and vcore

 

about cooling i have to systems:

1 with volcano 12 excellent fan the best is huge and noisy but is the best and very affordable: 26 us$$ in:

http://www.xoxide.com/thvo12.html

with some artic silver 5 thermal compound works even better!!.

some great fan too less the noisy:
