clocking teh CPU.....

[fkdup74]

okie dokie peoples....
got my new mobo in, an MSI K7N2 Delta2
thnx to all for your suggestions a few days ago btw
(it came down to an availability/budget issue, the MSI was the best they had)
but it installed w/o a hitch, and has all the features i'll need for now
'k, so on to those features.......
Everest says i can get my CPU (Athlon XP 2400+ T-bred) up to 3200 MHz
i figure i was gonna shoot for maybe 2.2/2.4 GHz and see what it does
my question is....
current setting are 133MHz x 15 for a clock of about 1.9 GHz
same as old mobo, but runnin 10-15 degrees cooler now, so i gotta tweak
would i be better off leaving the multiplier alone and just adjusting the FSB?
cuz this mobo will let me do just about anything
FSB in 1MHz increments, change the multiplier, voltage...
(AGP & RAM clocking too, but blah, aint messin with that)
i mean i can play around with it and see, but...
curious to see what has/hasnt worked for anyone else

hehehe, thanks VB, i know i know, RTFF!
but the FF dont have the user feedback i was lookin for

i guess the short version of my earlier post would be....
have people had better luck with...
higher FSB/lower multiplier, or...
lower FSB/higher multiplier?
like....133 x 15 vs. 166 x 12 vs. 200 x 10
(its a few MHz difference, but close enough to call it a comparison)

Each situation is different. You'll have to test until you find the best for your system.

'k thnx
thought it might come to that conclusion, but had to ask
who knows? i coulda got lucky....
there may have been another MSI/AMD geek that tried most of it already

Even someone with exactly the same parts may have different results.

true, but i coulda got a direction to start in...
even if it ended up being the wrong direction for my setup...
quit bustin my chops, my last mobo didnt give me these options, ok?
give teh n00b a break why dontcha?

j/k
thnx VB

damn i was confused last night....fkn vicodin
but yeh already had to f00k with the FSB
board shipped default @ 100 MHz
for a clock of a whopping 1.5 GHz
but ya know....
i didnt see too big o' difference between the 1.5 & 1.9 GHz clocks
kinda sux when you accomplish something and feel you have nothing to show for it
