Predatorz: Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 I`m not good with overclocking so I need some help :) I`m going to overclock my AMD XP 2600+ Barton CPU, i`m going to speed up the fsb to clock it. But what do I do, what do I set the fsb as? And how much can I clock it? Can I get it to 2900+ ? I got a ABIT KV7 motherboard. My fan is strong and can run up to 3600rp/m. thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roakes Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Set the multiplier to 11 and the FSB to 200, which will give you XP 3200+ speeds (2.2ghz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarzan2k Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 2900+ absolutely, 2900MHz not really possible. Yo will have to check what's your memory's max FSB frequency. If you have PC3200 (DDR400) memory, then it should work up to 200MHz FSB, otherwise, you can enconter stabitity problems sooner. I would up the FSB to 185MHz first, check stability went to 190MHz FSB, recheck stability and if it would be stable go to 200MHz FSB. If the system would become unstable, and CPU temperature low enough, I would increase CPU voltage step or two to regain stability. Good luck!

Predatorz: Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 wow really, I tought it wouldnt go higher than 2800+ my specs, ATI Radeon 9800PRO, 512MB Kingston DDRAM 333mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roakes Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Ah, memory is a problem then, need PC3200 (DDR400) to get it to 3200+ speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predatorz: Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 so how high can I get it then? 3000+ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predatorz: Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 some more questions :) In my bios it says 2200+ 2300+ 2400+ 2600+ I can set it as I want, at the moment it is set as 2600+ but if I overclock it do I need to change it? Or still stay as 2600+? And I dont do anything with the CPU voltage if it works fine right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roakes Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 They are probably just multiplier and fsb presets. I wouldnt worry about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
