EDIT: Up both of them, up the FSB a bit untill it equals what the origianl FSB X the multipler upped 1 and up the multipler.

kinda sux when you accomplish something and feel you have nothing to show for it

Boot the pc up and while its POSTing it should read at its new speed (It does for my AMD) that way your can crank up a massive OC and sell the pc as 3GHZ

well of course it does
but i cant be fkd tryin to read shit at POST...
i just wait and look it up in BIOS

First of all, you will NOT get that processor up to 3200MHz. You MIGHT get it up to the equivalent of an XP3200+, but I think even that is doubtful.

The basic problem you've got is that the XP2400+ chip is almost the top of the line Thoroughbred processor, which means that it's overclocking posssibilities are limited by the underlying technology. Added to that the Thoroughbred processors run at a higher voltage than the later Barton processors, and consequently produce more heat.

By comparison the XP2500+ Barton chip is the bottom of the line for that range of processors, so the underlying technology is not a problem. Boosting these chips to the equivalent of an XP3200+ processor is usually relatively simple.

Oh, and it won't have got 10-15C cooler just by changing motherboards, it is simply that your new mobo reads the temp differently, and in all probability neither board is particularly accurate.

Good luck in your efforts, but don't be surprised if you don't get anywhere near your initial expectations.

well 1st of all.....
i didnt say i was gonna even TRY for 3200 MHz
was merely quoting what was reported by everest
if you read you would see that i said i was fine with shooting for 2.2 maybe 2.4 GHz
somewhere in that neighborhood

and temps....well the mobo wasnt the only thing to go

be a little more positive, after all its just a computer ffs

If you read lynx's post you'll notice that he refers to "equivalent of an XP3200+"

First of all, you will NOT get that processor up to 3200MHz. You MIGHT get it up to the equivalent of an XP3200+, but I think even that is doubtful.

Which, by the way, is 2200MHz and is what he says he thinks is doubtful.

So "shooting for 2.2 or 2.4 MHz" is doubtful. And I agree with him.

I'm not so sure, guys.
My old 2600 T-bred was capable of hitting close to 2.4GHz without absurd voltage so getting a 2400 up to 2.2 shouldn't be that much of a stretch.
It's easier ( and ultimately, more productive) if your multipliers are unlocked and you can balance the FSB (where bigger is better) with reasonable GHz.

Of course, the ultimate question remains..."Is it worth it?".
IMO, for shits and giggles yes, it's an amusing exercise.
For practical use....hmmm, hard to say.
Can't say I ever really felt a big difference. Benchmarks improved, but daily use was not noticably different.

I was forgetting that the starting speed on those chips is 2GHz, so maybe 2.2GHz isn't impossible, but I had one of those chips for a short while and couldn't get anywhere close to that. I unloaded that chip onto someone who definitely wouldn't be overclocking, but I set it up at 12x166MHz so at least he got the benefit of faster FSB.

blah....its a moot point now....
teh MSI had to GTFO
fkr wouldnt post after touching the FSB settings
two of em even...
first board was clocked default @ 100 MHz, so i was runnin @ 1.5 GHz (under clocked)
it let me set it to 133, but anything above that and it quit posting
second board was clocked @ 166, and it posted....
but 166 x 15 is an OC on my CPU, thats what? about 2.4 GHz?
so the manual says if you OC, to turn off the FSB spread spectrum BS...
well i turned it off and it quit posting

fk it i took it back and got a gigabyte board....
now i'm under clocked again and cant get it up to speed
bios says its a 133 FSB, but windows & everest say thats BS
(reading @ 100 x 15 for 1.5 GHz again)
now theres a switch on the board to force a 100 MHz FSB or auto detect...
but when i set it to auto, the pc shuts down trying to boot to windows
now that could've been a thermal issue....
this damned evercool was lettin the cpu get to 70C even though its under clocked
evercools suck ass btw, i'm pissed that my vantec wont fit this board
(capacitor in the way)
back to the old hs/f that came on the cpu...see what happens....

The stock cooler should do better than the Evercool.
