gandolas Posted June 22, 2002 Author Share Posted June 22, 2002 I increased the FSB from 133mhz to the max value that the pc was stable, and that value was 143mhz, with 1.85V (max that my mobo can give to the processor). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K33NU Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Mine is hot ! even without overclocking! i've got an imperial case with 3 8cm fans , one in front and 2 on back of the case. and for cooling the cpu , i use a taisol fan i modded to support another 8cm fan... and with all that cooling all i can get is 57?C when idle and 65?C while running GTA:p:p What's wrong!!!???

gandolas Posted June 22, 2002 Author Share Posted June 22, 2002 Well.. my mobo is not the best for overcloking.. but is very stable! It's a DFI AD70-SC (KT-266a). :( :( When i'm idle, the temp (1533mhz) is about 42,5?C, and wen full loaded, is about 47 or 48?C. I only use one fan on my processor, and have my case open...:ermm:m: Oh... and i have used some "Silver Grease" (from Titan) between the dissipator (EP5-6I11 - www.coolermaster.com) and my processor.

jayp6969 Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 i unlocked mine and got it up 2 a 2100+ running at 42oC so that isnt bad, full load is 52-53 usually but i have a lot of fans keeping my case and stuff cool i think i have 11 fans total in my case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivak Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 You can't do that on an Athlon XP. Download this movie, it will show you what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H. Veteran Posted June 22, 2002 Veteran Share Posted June 22, 2002 I OCed mine to 1.702Ghz and the temp was about 47-49C I. I went up to 148Mhz (x 11.5) using aggreesive memory timings but i guess if i turned that down to normal i can hit a bit higher.. i didn't even think about that part. My Abit Max AT7 board can change the multiplier thru the BIOS does that mean i still gotta unlock the CPU cuz the option is already there. I used the 1.850 volts too and that's as high as it goes. I'm using a ThermalTake Volcano 7 (not plus) and it does a pretty good job. Right now at normal speeds (i'm not OCing anymore) the temp is at 43C so that's pretty good for 1.53Ghz. My 1.2 T-bird usually run at 47C!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Seb Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Without unlocking a AthlonXP the max you can push it is about 100-120 Mhz. I pushed my AthlonXP 1800+ to 1655 Mhz on a 144 FSB, and AthlonXP CPUs can NOT reach a 148Mhz FSB without being unlocked or if you use watercooling on it, maybe. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandolas Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 Did anyone use AthlonXP Unlocking Kit???? Is it good? :ermm: :ponder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKer Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 A quick question, why do you need to o/c the processor too much anyway? It won't improve games too much, just tasks like encoding and decoding. I upgraded from an AMD 1.2 to a 2100+ and the improvements weren't even noticable in games (and not much in 3dmark2001 even), just when encoding divx. If it's games improvements you want go for a gfx card overclock which is easy and does really make a difference, especially if you have something like a GF3 Ti200 as this can easily be made to go the speed of a Ti500 (and quicker). All you need is a better fan and some heatsinks for the memory (if you haven't already got some on there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
