Need help from some prof.

Hilco

i have a 2200+ amd pro. and i wonna oc it, a lil bit i runs at 266fsb now, and my mobo also can handle 333fsb. Can I change the fsb to 333 to overclock my pro. without overclokcing the agp/pci bus? What would you do with a 2200+ it runs no stock and got tempratures about 40, 45 when playing games, pls help me a bit

Asmoday

If you have a kt333 mobo that wouldn't be a problem, but if you have the old kt266 i'm not sure if they have the divider for it, if you stated your full system specs it would help in our quest to help you out

i think the 2200 is only a 266 fsb cpu so im not sure what'll happen if you set it to 333 (guessing worse is no post and you'll have to reset your cmos)

Hilco

mmm, i dont think there is another option for overcloking on this mobo, if i set it on 333 i also need more voltage?

pr0digal jenius

i think choggi is right...you're kinda screwed

you might be able to adjust FSB/Multipliers tho

Geminiwave

you can adjust the FSB by 1mhz at a time. Ive seen those boards OCed before.

btw your 2200+ is a piece of...um...a piece of work.

they arent the best OCers. However they COULD have an unlocked multiplier, so you could lower the multi and raise the FSB to 333 and have a VERY nice system speed.

try it out and let us know.

Hilco

ok i will see if it is unlocked and reply as soon as possible

G@MeBoY

first of all, xp2200 that I have tryed all went on 200fsb with 1.8V max. Second: You can't lock AGP/PCI speed on VIA kt400 chipset. Third: raise voltage to 1.75V for CPU and set 166fsb (333ddr) and see if it works, if it does, test it a litle bit, if everithing works fine (no crashes etc.) then go to BIOS again and lower the CPU voltage a bit (ie 1.7V) then test again...FSB 166 (333ddr) is the limit for your mobo when it comes to synchronious CPU/MEM fsb.

Hilco

ok thank you i will try it soon as possible if i have some time, thx again

REGENERAT1ON

just increase FSB by 5mhz (BIOS recommended or 3rd party software)
get prime95 to test if the system is stable. if you have blue screen means you gotta increase the vcore (try to increase by 0.25v each) until you will get the highest fsb. (higher fsb/vcore = higher cpu temps so watch the temps while you doing it)
you also may need 333mhz DDR or higher (if you have then no prob) if you dont have it try to increase the DDR voltage.


Vcore = CPU O/C fuel
Vdimm = DIM O/C fuel
DDR must to equal FSBx2

p.s.
VIA sucks! you need nForce2

Geminiwave

Via isnt the worst.

nforce 2 is just faster

REGENERAT1ON

VIA kt333-400 models has bad AGP compatibility (very unstable) horrible mem bandwidth and lame features/performance
and thats i can tell you from my experience (i still have many VIA chipset based mobos in my closet)

Hilco

lol, i dont have money thats the problem , i have ddr400

REGENERAT1ON

p.s.

"i have a 2200+ amd pro"

there is no cpu named amd pro, the only products named under pro names used by ECS and others.. these are durons you better read my article:
http://www.newgenerationorder.org/fraud.html and make sure you dont have any cpu like this one.

Geminiwave

actually regeneration, some websites sell the AMD chips OEM and call them PRO. that could be where the confusion is.

actually I really hope thats the deal because if you got one of those durons... *shudder*

Hilco

lil dumb of me, i meant AMD 2200+ (pro)sessor

ChoGGi

oooh oooh i can help you with that one (not that you ever asked for help)

going by wikipedia,
microprocessor (abbreviated as µP or uP)

of course that'll just confuse everyone so switch to using cpu and you should be fine

Hilco

ok, np. I clocked it now on fsb 333, what makes it a 2800+ it looks stable right now at 1.8 volt, 1.75 get crashes, also can i get then 1.8? or do i damage the cpu then. Temprature are ok, 46 degrees

ChoGGi

look at it this way oc'ing will make your cpu die quicker, but if you plan to upgrade within the next decade then i think your gonna be alright (i could be wrong if someone wants to add to this). a better idea is search around google with your cpu model/different voltages and see what other people have said.
is that 46 idle or load?

by the way good morning

Hilco

idle load is 55

ChoGGi

55 is a bit warm but nothing killer

Hilco

ehhh, mine cpu is unlocked and now i have 333fsb *12. = 2800+ on 1.7 volt.
I think i gonna make it a 2600+ but i runt now verry stable, thx guys, i get the feeling already

Hilco

166*11.5 --> 1.9ghz, is also 2800+ on 1.7 volt, runs smooth now, thx. I leave it on this setting

Geminiwave

no its not. you need 2.08ghz to be a 2800+

its 166*12.5=2.075ghz(but actually it shows up as 2.088ghz)

Hilco

i know, also 1.9 is 2800, and also 2.19 ghz is a 2800, lil weird:P just running on 1.9ghz then

BWX

My AMD xp1800+ runs up to 2300mhz @ 1.6v (probably faster with water)
It matters if it is a Tbred "B" or not and what the default voltage is too.

Geminiwave

tbred B's are the shit man. I love em

Hilco

of i buy a kt600 or some mb with fsb400 support, will it be faster then fsb333?

examplee

12.5*166 --> 2075
10.5*200 --> 2100
