Sempron 3000+ on an Asus A7V8X

[Guest]

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

Hello, All!

I currently have an Asus A7V8X m/b with an Athlon XP 2200+ (or maybe 2400+?)
rated at 2.2 mhz system which is oc'ed by about 12%.

I understand I can upgrade this to a Sempron 3000+.

Questions:

Will this chip work?
If that is all I change will I really see much difference in overall
performance?
Would it likely continue to be a stable mb/cpu combination at the oc I use?

Thanks.

That would be a downgrade unless you are talking about the new socket 754
Sempron 3000+ and it won't fit in your current MB.

Sure, as long as the Mb supports a 166Mhz FSB, and it does, Hope your ram
will too.

Performance probably won't go down much.

The Sempron socket A 3000+ plus will overclock the same as the Athlon XP
Barton core 2700+, since that's what it is, just with a new name, and a
higher price tag. It runs at 2000MHz (12x166). If you want a barton core
cpu, buy an Athlon XP 2800+ for less money and get more speed. It runs at
2083MHz (12.5x166). But to be honest, you'd be wasting your money
upgrading the cpu you have now. If you have a 2400+ and you can lower the
multiplier to 13.5 and then set the FSB 166, you would have a 2800+ XP.
See Sempron in link below. At least with the Sempron socket A 3000+ they
only raised the number by 300 instead of closer to 400 for the slower
Semprons

Thanks for the info. Makes the decision easy. I'll think I will continue to
hang on with existing setup for a bit longer and replace mb and chip to
upgrade to 64 when it makes a bit more sense (or fewer cents) to do so.

Should work as long as your mobo has the right choice of voltage
adjustments.I think the Sempron uses lower voltage that the XP. Why not
check with Asus for recent BIOS updates?

Hi,
Out of interest, what timings do you use for this mobo / cpu
combination. I have the exact same system and pondered also an upgrade.
My conclusion - based primarily on the great feedback I had - was to
wait and upgrade both the mobo / cpu / RAM a little while from now. Any
minor tweaks won't buy me much on the existing system.

But anyways, I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me the timings
you have for the mobo / 2200+ combo,

Many TIA,

Jonathan.

Here you are, in order on the Advanced menu (pg. 4-17 in manual):

Manual
12.5
177/35
354
Manual
1.85
Auto
2.85
Turbo
Enabled
Enabled
Auto
Auto
Disabled

Under Chip Configuraion the only one that matters is the first one and I
have it set at 'by SPD'.

Hope that helps.

Before you use his settings, you need to make sure you have a tbred B core
CPU, otherwise it won't work. CPUID for the B core is 681. CPUID for the
A core is 680. The A core won't run much above 1900MHz. The B core will
generally run up to 2400MHz.

Just to confirm for Johnathan, I am running a tbred B (681).

Thanks again guys. I do indeed have a B-core tbred. Bought it last year.

Cheers,

Jonathan.
