overclocking question newbie

[louis]

i have got a 1700 xp juihb chip which i have read clocks well i have a abit nf7-s rev 2.0 480 w psu thermaltake dual channel corsair 3200 ram and the thermalright sp97 cooler can anyone help me with the multiplyers and the ram timings ?

Well what I'd suggest is leaving the RAM timings fairly relaxed (3, 3, 3, 6 for example or something, the higher the number, the more "relaxed" it is) and overclocking.

I have no idea what the 1700XP's default multi/FSB settings are, but all I can suggest is going up in small increments, testing that the thing actually POSTs/boots into windows, etc, and trying some benchmark/memory testing programs to ensure stability.

Many people have been able to get 2.2GHz and more out of those chips, so if you're feeling daring set the FSB to 200 and the multiplier to 11

Put the settings to:
FSB:RAM - 6:6
Row Active Delay - 11 (the the other timings 3-3-2)

Lower the multipler to 10, and put the FSB 166.

Then, increase the voltage on the chip, to 1.75v, and put the FSB to 200. If that works try upping the multipler, when it fails to boot try some more voltage. Ideally dont go above 1.85v.

If the

increase the voltage on the chip, to 1.75v, and put the FSB to 200

doesnt work, move the fsb to 166, and start again only going up by small amounts.

Don't change the voltage unless you need to. Which you probably won't. Not at 11x200 anyway.

Not at 11x200 anyway

i need 1.7v for 2.2Ghz, (11x200), so the guy might need a few more volts... just make sure you keep an eye on the temperature if you're increasing the voltage!

What is the default of the chip anyways? as there are 2 types, 1.5 and 1.6. DLT3C and DUT3C i think

[Howard]

Most are 1.65

It is 1.65 but most bios have an auto setting these days
