AMD Athlon Overclock

Post by Big_mac »

Yo guys, post your AMD Athlon XP or whatever over clocks here. Please no fooling and cheating!

My 2800+ Athlon XP I managed to get to 2.7Ghz with water cooling but I could get it further when I get a proper PSU (I have 300w now)

Nice one on the 2.7ghz

Ive had my 2600XP at 2.54 with air cooling. It was back in the winter and it stayed pretty stable. But with summer I clocked it back to stock.

Big_Mac aren't you getting time outs?

I have my 2500+ at 3200+ if I take it to 3400+ it runs but restarts occasionally and that aint due to overheating cos then I get around 52º

:oops: 2600+ @ 2800+ (i.e. 2100MHz).... ...looks at crappy VIA motherboard with no FSB locks and curses....

What voltage are you running on the processor Futs? If you havent already just increase it slightly and then test with something like Prime95 or SuperPi for stability...

will give that a bash when I'm home at around 2pm. I rarely change the voltage core for fear of being without a pc for a few months:

Sometimes I would've been able to play a few games and then just *beep* (played for 2 ours on end at times) I eventually just got sick of it so I stubbed it a bit

I ran at 2.2v. It was actually about 2 coz i anly got 300w psu. :(
My aim is to get to 3ghz when i got 500w... Watercooling si the only way. I normally run at 2.5Ghz coz it's stable even now. it runs at about 45 degrees idle and 50 or so load.

Keep up all the overclocking, BEAT INTEL!

I have a 420watt PSU in my case and a 500watt under my bed(waiting for my new PC-UPGRADE, getting it piece by piece)

But still overclocking is bad on my system, it bombs out with slightest setting of the multipliers

why is this :?:

I think my mobo is giving in :cry:

When I had my old AMD XP 2400+ I had it running at 2.5Ghz maximum, with DDR333 RAM running at about DDR450 :)

The most I've taken my NC A64 3200+ to is 2.53 GHz... runs fairly well, just a touch hot for my liking though.

Oh well, will have to invest in a nice custom watercooling solution if I want to overclock reasonably seriously (the retail watercooling kits are okay, but I would prefer a setup that has a radiator that takes twin 120mm fans, side by side...)

And if you wanna seriously overclock then you use Vapochill or Phase change or even some Liquid Nitrogen.

Liquid Nitrogen

That's just what I was thinking of when I mentioned liquid nitrogen.

Hey there, I'm sitting with the 3500+ Athlon 64 (939) and I've overclocked it up to 220 FSB x 11 and it runs rock solid. With air cooling, and no heat spreaders on my memory wich is doing 440 Mhz. Benched a couple of things, and still rock solid. The temperature not exceeding 52 - 53 C.

What I would like to know. I've ran SandraSis 2005 and it states my CPU as a 90nm chip, where as CPUID said it's a 130nm chip..... Which one is correct?

Oh the mobo is a ASUS AV8 Delux.

What does that CPU run at at stock, 200 x 11? For something like that you wouldn't need major cooling or anything. With my AMD 64 3200+ used stock cooling and DDR333 I had it running at about 2.4ghz, up from 2.0ghz.

I'm quite sure that that is a 90nm chip, all the newer ones made nowadays are 90nm. CPUID is usually right though so I could be wrong.

@-ASSASSIN- what I wanted to ask previously is about the vcore
I thought standerd was 1.5 while mine in the bios displays 1.7v yet in windows around 1.65+-.

now my question is how far should I take it without it resulting in permanent damage?
