I Overclocked!

[Keikan]

I overclocked but not to 3200+ speed just to 2056mhz my temps are the same!
but it says i have a 3200+ though... thats no good

2068 now, when i went to 2200 it gave me a error saying windows could nto boot up properly but then there was an option to boot normally....

[kaiweiler]

congrats lol,
where are you reading it telling you you have a 3200+??

my 2500+ is now at 2.26 :P Will go higher in a bit....

anyways, have fun with the oc'ing!

[Keikan]

dammit i go to 2.2ghz and windows doesn't even start, the pc just reboots

sitting at 2101mhz right now thats it.

it says 3200+ everywhere aida, the bios etc.

[Virtualbody1234]

Keikan, try uping the core voltage a tiny bit and you should be able to run at 3200+ speeds.

[Keikan]

ya but my temps are already at 47 idle

[kaiweiler]

If I were you I would concentrate on that first, get your temps down...
maybe do a little cable management, change around some fans, etc
then once your happy with your temps, then up the core voltage as VB said and OC a little higher

[Keikan]

whats your voltage?

[kaiweiler]

mine is still at default....
but a friend of mine with the same mobo, and same cpu had to up his voltage to oc to 3200.....
not sure why i didn't but mine works fine

[Virtualbody1234]

Mine is still at default too. It seems that some need a little more voltage than others.

Yes, that's true, but when gaming or processor intensive tasks, yes? Are you gaming?

are you asking me or VB, or both?
if me, then yes, I am gaming...

Both, of course.

[abu_has_the_power]

don&#39;t up vcore. my cpu&#39;s at 3.2, and my vcore is still default (1.6v). lower ur fsb ratio, and up ur vdimm. that&#39;s what i did

[Virtualbody1234]

Yes, adamp2p, I am gaming.

I have also been running folding@home 24/7 for almost 3 weeks solid.

Yes, but you have an Intel CPU. Not the same animal.

[bigdawgfoxx]

I had to up the Vcore a bit with my 2500 to get it up to 2.3

[abu_has_the_power]

ok. but have u even tried lower ratio and uping vdimm?

[Keikan]

Lets see now according to my bios the next step of core voltage is 1.75 would this get to 2.2ghz?

I&#39;m gaming,

Is there anyway to make the cpu fan go to max speed all the time? With or without Q-fan the cpu fan just keeps going up and down up and down I want it to go 3409rpm full time

How come your next step is 1.75v? Default for that processor is 1.65v so the next step should be 1.675v. If it is already at 1.725v this could explain why your temps are high.

I run mine with Vcore set at 1.75v (according to the mobo setting, 1.76v according to Asusprobe) in order to achieve stability. Currently running with temps of 47C/25C (100%usage) with the cover off. My water cooling has arrived so hopefully much lower temps and less noise soon.

Abu - we are overclocking cpu chips here, not memory. How can increasing Vdimm have any effect whatsoever? Vdimm increases are for overclocked memory. And it seems pointless to increase processor performance then throw all the work away by running memory asynchronously.

[Keikan]

I think i&#39;ll just settle in here at 2.1ghz

Even with Q-fan disabled in BIOS the fan speed varies?

You could try SpeedFan and set it to run at 100% rpm.

why is it caalled 2500+ if it oonly goes 2300?

as far as i know, the name of an amd cpu, is it&#39;s equivelent speed as a p4, so a 2500+ would run the speed of a p4 2.5, a 2800 would run as a p4 2.8 etc

A XP2500+ chip runs at 1833MHz as standard . The XP3200+ runs a 2.2GHz. The Amd chips simply do more work per clock cycle so they don&#39;t need to run as fast. BigDawg&#39;s quote of 2300 is his overclocked speed.

The designation is calculated from the equivalent performance of the original Athlon chip running at that speed. Since that outperformed the P2 and P3 chips of the time, it is superior to a comparison with those chips.

Intel have clawed back much of the difference with the P4 chips and have now taken the lead (when comparing those numbers) with their latest variants. This has lead people to say that the XP3200+ should only be labeled as XP3000+ because it does not match the Intel P4 3200. However, that is incorrect since it is not a direct comparison with Intel chips.

Amd still have the lead when you look at performance/price comparisons.

u can call my processer a 3000+ right now

the fan is usally at 3308-3341 but i&#39;ve seen it go to 3409

i want 3409

speed fan doesn&#39;t do much even when i set it to 100

It is probably just that the sensor is not accurate enough, combined with fluctuations in the 12v supply to the fan. 100rpm variation is not unusual.

Its not stable anymore even if i got to 192mhz

I found that mine was unstable between 183MHz and 195MHz base frequency. It was ok at 182MHz (x11 = 2.0GHz) and it was ok at 200MHz (2.2GHz) but it ran too hot at 200MHz. The temps settled down after a couple of weeks so I was able to push it up to 200MHz again.

Just testing my water cool system for leaks before I finally install it. With maximum cooling I&#39;m currently getting temps on the waterblock of about 8C, and it hasn&#39;t fully chilled the waterbath yet. Condensation everywhere so I&#39;ll have to get some insulation. :lol:
