I was playing around with my FSB today, and for some reason it went past its usual limit of 220...

And the stranger thing, I had the memory at 2-2-2-11 ... which is strange as it usually dies at 220 FSB with 2-3-3-11??
I ran PiFast 4 times and it didnt fail once...
Im going to continue fiddling today to see what else I can manage...
EDIT: btw its an Athlon 2500+ (not the mobile thingys)
I wonder why your reported voltages differ? Unless you increased it using the right-hand program and havn't refreshed CPU-Z. I should imagine it'd get quite hot at 1.975 volts under load on fansink cooling.
I believe CPU-Z didnt report it correctly... but it was at 1.925 as the sensor in the right hand thing says
man, that thing is FAST!!!!! :D
Nice clock :D
I have not ever tried mine past 217 but its crucial ram so i don't expect it will clock as well as yours :)
Dude, that chip is a monster for a non-mobile. congrats
So is it memtest86 & Prime 95 stable?
If you have not tried google for them and let us know :)
Dunno, after I got that speed, I wanted to see how much further itd go.. it made it to 229 then crashed.. :( but ill check it again and run them tests today after work sometime :)Quote:

I bet that was fast :D what have you got now? Also was that a mobile otherwise it was a dam fine clocker :DQuote:

no its was just a normal barton however it was the famous AQXEA 0330, the best stepping ever. ;) yeah it was lightning quick. put it head to head with a m8s P4 at 4GHz and it kicked its ass in all areas apart from the obvious mem bandwidth.

mine was a Vapo PE and i sold it for £250 about 16 months ago so sure you can pick 'em up much cheapness now, especially the white ones. :)
Very nice :D Do you notice a massive differance when compareing the Athlon 64 3500+ to the 2.7Ghz Barton?Quote:

I noticed a MASSIVE difference from the Barton 2500-m i had.
Even the 754 3200 clawhammer i had was really quick (i'd say as quick as the 939 3500 at stock speeds)
A64, the best way to fast pooters ;)
Nice overclock btw for a non 'm' 2500 :D
