XP 2100 to 2G

[OliverNo1_1]

Having just crushed my previous 2100(ouch-HSF accident)i purchased another(good bang for buck)-i am please to say that it will happily run to 14*147.5=2065

My question is in todays terms would this make this an XP 2400 or 2600 or even a barton 2500?

MSI KT400 Chipset
Radeon 9500Pro @ 339\310
512Meg Crucial DDR2700 @ Cas 2
Maxtor 80Gig
Sonic Fury
Samsung 40x12x48 CDRW


Please excuse any factual incorrectness as im sat at work and its 7.30am.........

An xp 2400, yes, a barton, no

Bartons have a larger L2 cashe, not just higher speed (or sometimes lower speeds...)

Thats the average oc for those chips that I have seen, I have one as well. If you can try taking the fsb up a bit as a lot of people have been able to get 2.3 air, 2.8 (in extreems) with water.

What a lucky find you have had.
Sounds like your XP2100 is a TbredB core, and they overclock really well.

As far as speed goes it would be around the equivalent of a XP2400, plus a bit more as you are running slightly faster than 2Ghz and have a higher bus speed.

as you have a KT400 board, why dont you try running the FSB at 166... meaning allyour PCI and AGP devices are running in spec, and you can get higher overclocks too!

I'm a little curious about bumping my fsb up to 166- the highest I have been able to get it to is about 150, anything after that and the video card goes dead. If I bump it to 166, and the dividers kick in, then should the cpu run just fine? It is a 2000 xp, with an ax-7 heatsink and tornado fan. Temps are usually in the mid 30's. Thanks a lot for any advice!

true... i cant run much beyond 140 due to elivated PCI/AGP speed problems... but 166 is no problem thanx to the 1/5 pci divider.

166 should run fine on your KT400, provided
A. your ram can run at PC2700 speeds or better
B. 166 X your multiplier isnt astronomically high. Can you change the multiplier???

If you can the best bet is to set it low, bump the fsb to 166, then slowing raise the multiplier, testing as you go.

Ah, I should have clarified- I am running a soyo k7v dragon plus!, with 266mhz ddr. I cannot adjust the multiplier unfortunately. I am just hoping that I can get it to 166 without burning it out?

 

[lhgpoobaa]

ok well...
your CPU is a XP2100+, which means it runs at stock speed at 1733mhz with the 13x multiplier.

So 13x166 = 2166mhz, around the speed of a XP2700+... so yes, the CPU could get to that speed with half decent cooling and maybe a little extra core voltage.

HOWEVER, you only have DDR266 ram (PC2100), and the ram also has to run at 166mhz bus speed, which it is not likely to do unless its really good corsair or crucial memory.

so you probably will be limited by the ram.

MY 1800 tbred a core can easily attain 2ghz, thats 200x10 on my epox 8rda, if you have the tbred b core you should be able to get around 2200 easily ,watch your temps though!


system spec or witty quote , still thinking.....
