2500+ Normal Speed..

[AndyM]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking.amd (More info?)

Hi all,

I know that this is an overlocking newsgroup, but I was wondering if you
guys could help me..

I have a 2500+ running on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Mobo.

It seems that when I go to the Control Panel -> System ->General, it shows
that I am only getting 1.09Ghz out of it. I think the default speed is
1.83Ghz.

Can anybody explain why my default speed is so low? I have never overclocked
or changed any BIOS setting (I'm a bit of a gumby with these things, so have
left everything alone!!).

Seems I'm losing around 40% of my minimum potential here...

Any clues would be most appreciated...

Regards,

andym

Have you checked the bus speed in the bio's?

Hi
Your front side bus is set at 100Mhz = 11 X 100 = 1100Mhz
should be 166Mhz = 11X 166= 1833Mhz

Actually
1.83 is correct
166 * 11 = 1826

Mark,

I have the following settings shown on my "Advanced Chipset Features" area
of the BIOS..

CPU Ext. Freq. = 100Mhz
CPU Freq. Multiple Setting = Auto
System Perfomance = Optimal
FSB Spread spectrum = .50%

Would any of this need to be changed? ... as I said before i just want the
1.83Mhz .. not interested in overclocking...

Regards,

andym

Mark,

I just experimented and changed the CPU Ext. Freq to 166Mhz, and it
worked!!! I am now running on 1.83Ghz..

many thanks


andym!!

Hi
Set FSB spread spectrum to 0%(disabled) as well
how old is your XP2500,it may be unlocked
try changing cpu freq multiplier to 10 say and see if it
boots at 1666Mhz

The bus speed is usually the issue when it comes to cpu speed...happy
computing

Actually we are both incorrect..
I have serious doubts that a computer will have a regulated freqency THAT
precise ;P ..

Well that is the target! To write the frequency in decmial, we have to
truncate the decimal points somewhere. To be 100% mathematically accurate:
166-and-two-thirds * 11 = 1833-and-one-third MHz 'exactly'.

We just write "166 x 11" or "166.6667 x 11" to make it easier to read!

I believe it is a quartz signal that regulates things? - Anyone confirm
this?
