Crazy_Seb Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Is it a 2100+ normally? Or is it a overclocked 1900+? If its a overclocked Athlon, you can NOT see 2100+ at boot, but you'll just see the CPU it really is. :mad: edit: I see its a 1800+ normally and its on a A7V266-E, which i both own too, and my o/c'ed 1800+ just shows 1800+ at boot, so you are just lying or your CPU got switched. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted June 26, 2002 Veteran Share Posted June 26, 2002 Originally posted by Crazy_Seb Without unlocking a AthlonXP the max you can push it is about 100-120 Mhz.

HEHE, i did it and it worked, i just don't see the need to OC my CPU cuz i don't want the life to be shortened and all. I usually sell my CPU after a while to buy a newer one and i don't want people complaining to me 6 months later saying it's dead. I OCed my 1800+ to 1702mhz (1.7Ghz) and it was NOT watercooled or unlocked. I use a ThermalTake Volcano 7 HSF and it keeps it real nice and cool, it's at 39C (normal speed) right now so you can't tell me i didn't do it. If i had a digital camera i'd reboot and set my settings in the BIOS and then boot to show you. Taking a screenshot in Windows doesn't really prove since almost anyone can edit the images in Photoshop. The crappy low/fussy image of me trying to take a picture of a CRT while displaying something would prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my pc start, i could see "Athlon XP 2000+" and it just was a 1800+ running @ 1645 mhz (the 2000+ runs @ 1667 mhz...)... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i3iz Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 FSB= 145 just using Epox 8KHA+ and Alpha Pal 8045 and an intake and exhaust, however im thinking of switching to watercooling and getting one of those 2200+ processors and breaking the 2ghz mark, anyone know if one of those tbreds fits on an epox8kha+? or do i need to get a new mobo? epox web page says 21000+ works. finally got my summer job so its time to pick the machine up to top of the line again for the year.

gandolas Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 21000+ works AMD tbreds 21000+???? I want one of those!!!! :p :p I think that tbreds fits in the "old" A platform, you just need to flash your bios... :ponder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just gives me a blue screen of death even on XP. I am pretty sure it is not the Ram b/c i use crucial ram. and it is not that hot, and AMD processors are pretty close to the same, i dont think the processor. I dont know alpha pal 8045. hsf is really decent. if anyone figures anything out let me know. I am going to try to unlock the cpu and get more reliable and cooler OCing. im pushing 145FSB at 11.5x and i dont think i can go further, maybe ill try dry ice and see wh ti can doo hehe j/k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
