Hi
I have an athlon xp 2000 fsb 266 with a gigabyte GV-7VA (chipset KT400) motherboard (the bios of this mobo allows to select the fsb, but not the multilpier, which is selected automatically).
The issue is that my computer is terribly noisy. I tried changing the 6cm cpu fan for a quiet 8cm tacens fan, using an adaptor. Although the CFM of both fans is similar, the tacens fan is not enough to cool the cpu- system reboots under heavy load.
I've thought of switching to a 'newer' ahtlon xp (say a 2800, fsb 333,1.65vcore). My idea is to keep the fsb at 266 so that the processor generates less heat (and runs slower, i now) and so i can switch to a nice, silent, tacens fan, and probably get a slight performance increase.
So my question is: shall i have any stability problems running an athlon xp 2800 (333 fsb) with a lower fsb, say 266?
thanks
