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.

    • Apple releases iOS 26.5.2 with dozens of security fixes for iPhone by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has released iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS 26.5.2, which are security-only updates for the iPhone and the iPad. The update brings a bunch of security fixes for WebKit, WebRTC, WebKit Storage, WebKit Canvas, Web Extensions, libxslt, IOGPUFamily, and even the kernel. Some of the WebKit issues that were fixed could have allowed malicious web content to disclose sensitive user information, exfiltrate cross-origin data, crash Safari, or process restricted web content outside the browser sandbox. One notable WebKit Storage bug could let a malicious website to silently hijack clipboard data, according to Apple’s description. Other WebKit-related flaws involved memory corruption, use-after-free bugs, type confusion, out-of-bounds writes, permissions problems, and cross-origin data handling issues. The update also includes three kernel-related fixes. Apple says one of the flaws could let an app write kernel memory or cause unexpected system termination, while another may leak sensitive kernel state, and a third could corrupt kernel memory or terminate the system unexpectedly. Although Apple hasn't described them as remote web attacks, kernel bugs are still important to fix, as they can sometimes be chained with other flaws to escape app or browser restrictions. The updates are available for iPhone 11 and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 8th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. Similar security fixes also came with the latest update to macOS Tahoe 26.5.2, which Apple released on the same day. That overlap is not surprising, since Safari, WebKit, WebRTC, and other underlying components are shared across Apple’s platforms. Users are advised to update their devices sooner rather than later as these security fixes are crucial. iOS 26.5.2 can be installed from Settings > General > Software Update. Similarly, Mac users can find macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 through System Settings > General > Software Update.
    • Taken them long enough, that is one good thing. I still refuse to have a Whatsapp account, because it still need a phone number to have an account. don't want to give Meta my phone number
    • Good think I still have SDRAM and FP RAM sitting around.

Heart rate is recorded every second during exercise tracking and every five seconds during normal daily use. The device requires the Google Health app for setup and synchronisation. Furthermore, Bluetooth provides wireless connectivity for syncing and communication with devices running Apple iOS 16.4 or later and Android 11.0 or later. The tracker stores up to 7 days of minute-by-minute activity data and retains daily activity totals for the previous 30 days. In terms of water resistance, the Fitbit Charge 6 has a 5 ATM rating that should make it suitable for swimming and water activities. The tracker operates in temperatures ranging from 14°F to 113°F and at altitudes of up to 28,000 feet. Moreover, the included Infinity band is made from a flexible silicone material and features a loop-and-peg fastening. The small band fits wrists measuring 5.1 to 6.7 inches, while the large band fits wrists measuring 6.7 to 8.3 inches. Both small and large bands are included in the box. When it comes to battery performance, the Fitbit Charge 6 should deliver up to 7 days of battery life under typical usage conditions. Features such as the Always-On Display, built-in GPS, and SpO2 monitoring increase power consumption and may require more frequent charging.
