Adam, you have become, as Dr. Phil might say, an "enabler".

It's on your head now. :P

Nice Guide Though!
Very Thurough(sp)

Very useful.

I'm just upgrading to XP2500 on A7N8X with DDR400 mem. So far I've OC'd to 11x182MHz (=2002MHz) but I seem to hit a wall above this point, although everything is totally stable at 182MHz base frequency.. This guide seems to indicate that I need to increase my core voltage.

Unfortunately I seem to have got one of the newer locked cores, so I can't change the multiplier. But I'm pretty sure that's not a problem anyway (at the moment). I'll leave it folding overnight before I try anything new. If necessary, I'll swap processors with a friend. He got one of the early XP2500 cpu's, but if anyone suggested anything other than standard settings he'd probably have a fit.

I cannot help it...
:batman:


...but that guide explains several elements very well that are often skimmed over...

Is oc really a good idea?

[adamp2p]

No, it's a terrible idea. You definately shouldn't do it.

Yes, BigDawg is hardly an impartial source...

One thing that guide has overlooked - make sure you have the latest bios version.

Now running XP2500 at 2200MHz (XP3200 equivalent) and so far it seems stable. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Just need to watch the temps though, currently 20C Mobo, 49C cpu (full load) with stock HSF. As long as it stays like that I&#39;m not too worried, though I&#39;ll try another HSF to see if that helps.

I&#39;m going to get some more ram next pay day and give my newish soltek a stretch.I wasnt going to bother with this one ,just leave it and get things done.I have a northbridge cooler coming soon ,so that i&#39;ll help. :)

Shes pretty cool anyway ,thats near enough full load.The encode has been running afew hours. This babys gonna go abit i think.

man, GIFs are crap quality, use jpeg next time...but those temps are good, you should be able to voerclock pretty well with some good ram.

[ck-uk]

You can see it so its pretty good imo mate.

Yeah mate she will overclock good,and i have good ram ,just not what i want.Anyway when i&#39;m doing it i&#39;ll keep uptodate.
