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.

    • Deal for those who want 1900 size electronics in their house? with 2026/7 hardware mhm.. not nice
    • Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
