Overclocking AMD Athlon XP 2000

While overclocked at the same level can run a compltete 3dmark 2003 test and send an image of its results, or a log file? I'd really like to see them.

 

was just reading through some of the eairler msges on page 1 and saw a note saying that the amd xp2000 could be pushed to 2300. just thought ide let u know im running mine at 2600 (2.1mhz reported in dxdiag)have taken it hightr but my ram over heated. oh and cpu temp is 28.6c. (water cooled system)
full sys is amd 2000 as 2600, 1gb ram, 128mb vidcard, 120mb hdd + 20gb hdd for windows.

 

Nice speed for that core, but I'm still giving a recommendation for the Barton core, because water cooling isn't that cheap. Barton hits those speeds for $85. BTW I want a water cooling system too, tweak-em as long as you can.

 

im trying to push further just to see the limit. managed to put my water cooling system together for £90 thats a full cooling system for £40 and a large radiator for £50

 

am running the xp2000 as a xp2600 2.08ghz runing at 52c on die...

 

ide never think u could get the 2000xp that high with normal cooling, have a m8 trying to run his 2400 normaly and its at 45c but the system keeps crashing, as soon as he drops the chip to 2200 it runs fine at a temp of 40c. so underclocking the chip is the only way to get it to run, we cant think why it is doing this

 

i have a volcano 11+ on it.... and are you reading that 45c on die?are you reading it from the BIOS? thats good temp for the Xp2400 If its not on die then your probably close to 60c on die...

 

the 45c is readign in the bios, he is going to try a much better heatsink to see if this helps it at all

 

I havent read all that you guys have said but from what i can see you guys only got it to 2.0 ghz and i just wanted to let you know that you can actually get it to at least 2.2ghz... mine is at 2.281ghz (12x190)@1.65vcore.So far the highest on load is 52. I dont think thats that bad. But for some reason i cant go to 200 fsb... not even 8x200 or anything like that. It might be my ram though cuz i have some horrible pc3200.

i got it to go to about 169fsb by 1mhz manual stepping and got it to 2.1ghz still telling me i got a Xp2600+ at 2.1Ghz i don't know why ?... should be reading Xp2800 atleast.. if i increase the fsb anymore to like 170fsb it won't boot but is probably my memory lolcuz am running pc2100 lol sopsoe to only run at 133..

 

I tried to find the OC limit for my Tbred-B AthlonXP2000+ and I ended up with hair-standing results )
It works fine all the way from 12.5x133 to 12.5x168 with increasing temp of course (i have only the stock HSF) from 50 to 62°C (it's ok, but u sweat if you play long )) ). Then I tried to change the mulitplicator as well.. with 13x it works fine until 160 MHz, with 13.5 until 155, with 14x until 149, with 15x until 143 (but it's really hot more then 67°C), and finally with 16x 136 (it's even hotter and not too stable). Oh, I forgot to mantion the voltage... so it's 1.6V in the beggining up to 1.85V @ highest speeds. The best temp/speed up OC i found out were 14x136 MHz 1.725V and 11.5x166MHz 1.725V, both 100% stable and not running too hot, only about 5-6 degrees hotter then normal (max 58-59°C) while boosting up performance by some 20-25% according to Sandra 2004 testing. I hope some might find these lines a bit helpful.

Get some better cooling because that's too warm.

 

very low budget... :/ I can't even afford a new cooling. anyway, what would be your suggestions on this? which cooling (affordable, let's say 30-40$ max) ?

I already read the whole Official PC cooling thread, yet i'd like to know your inputs. The only fans i've got installed are CPU, NB and the one on power supply, no add-ons.. Oh and I left my case opened at one side - it helps for me to keep it cooler when i do the OC (if temps around 60°C might be regarded to as something cool ) )

hello. I've been reading this thread looking for advice, but i'd seems i'm having trouble getting any decent overclocking with stabilty.

I have Windows XP Home, service pack 1.
I have a AMD Palomino XP 2000+
I have a gigabyte GA-7VRXP (via kt333 AGPset) motherboard.
I have 256 MB DDR RAM 2700

i've got gigabyte software called "EASYtune 4". It allows me to tweak the system bus and i've gone up from 133 (default) [bold]towards 140[/bold] (that's XP 2100+ speed). However, i've got no stabilty running applications like games at this speed. I've had to reboot several times, and anything over 142 just isn't happening at all.

I tried going up in the BIOS but the same thing happens that i can't get stabilty.

I installed the latest bios for my motherboard, but it still makes no difference.

However, i am running pretty hot and always have done. i think that was once due to me removing the thermal pad on the heatsink for the CPU and using some cruddy silverpaste ( - and i'll NEVER do that again!).

Currently i idle at around 50-60oC. I know that's too hot, but i've been going on that by default and have had NO problems running apps/games at the default 133 speed. I have noticed that when i went up 140 the CPU temp got to 62oC at idle, but that's not what i call a big heat change. I'm sure there must be something else wrong here apart from the heat.

What can i do to overclock this to a 2300+?

CPU-Z tells me i'm 1.74v and 0.18u "technology". My multiplyer is 12.5. (i've NO IDEA how to change these attributes).

 

I'm running a Palo.

I've got about 3 or 4 fans in there - varying in size. Not sure what the names of these fans are, but they're nothing fancy. From start-up of Windows i'm already around the 52oC mark!

To be honest, i'd even settle for a stable 2100+ speed if that's all i could achieve.

I should point out that i've currently overclocked it to 1.7 GHz (from 1.67). O've not tested it yet in gaming, but if it gives me trouble it looks like i'l just have to settle for my default processor speed and so ends the dream.

 

after some more inpsection it seems i can not change the multiplyer! I also can not change a few other bits like some of the voltages. I can seeme to change the AGP one and the Vcore and maybe a DDR volt one. I'm a noob at this, but not having ful control does annoy me. Seems 1.7TGhz is about as fast as i'll ever get this thing.

 

ah you could probably get it up a litle higher... 1.9 or so i have a TB at 2.08ghz from 1.67ghz am not sure if you will run into a wall with the palomino.
