AMD Barton 2400+M running at 2.4 Ghz at 200MHZ FSB?


Recommended Posts

I put an old CPU and Motherboard system together to run as my media center and I wanted to see how far I could push the CPU. It started out at 1.8 Ghz at 133MHZ FSB and Windows showed it as the "weak link" as I got a 2.9 rating on my WEI on 7.

I pushed it up to 12x 200MHZ and it seems to be working well. Pushed the WEI to 3.9 and has been running HyperPI for 30 minutes @ Realtime with no issues. Is this a safe speed to keep it at? Should I clock it down a bit? I will be using it to rip my DVD collection to the HDD and recording TV from my cable company.

The original bartons were crackheads when it cam to overclocking, they were pretty much underclocked CPU's.

The mobile bartons are even better because they are mobile chips with less heat, so you could push them even further.

Ah, the famous "Barton" core. I had my 2500+ CPU overclocked to a 3200+ spec, on a ABIT NF7-S v2.0 - those were the days :D

It's a tried and tested overclock Frank (Y)

Radish?

Good News! This was previously in my main system before I went to Vista. Since my 3800+ MOBO wouldn't work with anything other then a crappy 300W PSU I dug this off of the back of the shelf and thought I would see what it could do. Previously I was only running it at 2.2GHZ at 166Mhz FSB. I took it up to 2.5Ghz at 166MHZ FSB but it started to error out. 2.4Ghz @ 200Mhz FSB seems to be the sweet spot at the default voltage (Y).

I have it installed i n a NZXT Duet case, the processor is sitting right next to a 120mm fan so I think it will be fine! Thanks for the input! I am still amazed that this setup with 1GB of RAM and a 6600GT runs amazing in Windows 7 and almost gets a 4 in the WEI index!

I got given a computer in 2004 with a 2500+ by my parents and when I recently accidently fried it due to the crap stock heatsink design, I brought another one and I love it to bits - nothing will ever beat IMO when it comes to easy overclocking, I even got it to 2.9 ghz once on stock cooling!

I got my XP2500+ to 2.5Ghz on air with a 1.76-1.785v vcore at 12x210Mhz via modding the vcore lines and manually re-bridging the laser cut unlock multiplier on the CPU package. CPU temps were around 54C load.

My XP2500-M did a ridiculas 2.86Ghz on air (12x239Mhz @ 1.55v) and 3.025Ghz (12.5x242Mhz @ 1.79v) on water with Waterchill setup + mini pump in a modded Shuttle SN45G + 250w PSU. Load temps on air were around 65c and 48c on water. System went through two PSU's during an 8month lifetime before I went with an AMD 64 setup.

If your XP2400-M is on stock voltage or detecting it as normal desktop voltage (1.4v-1.45v) then you are doing the CPU no harm and will quite happily run for the forseable future.

i had a 2500M+ many many years ago. i had that thing over 2.5GHz for a while. after a year or so, i got many BSODs. i had to lower the clock and voltage a bit... after several more months i had to lower again... finally the chip would barely run at 2GHz.

keep the voltage in a safe range and you should be fine.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
