    Fake Athlon 3200

    Yes, I've set the memory bus to run at 166 mhz and the FSB to 200 mhz and it WILL not work, UNLESS if I raise the core voltage to 1.725. The timings are set to auto. However, again, if it is a memory issue, how come raising the core voltage of the CPU to 1.725 makes everything work? Finally...

    Fake Athlon 3200

    " Well, it might matter if your 166mhz ram won't run at 200mhz. " On the BIOS I am setting the RAM speed to 166mhz, so that hsould remain constant. I thought that the memory bus and the CPU bus were two different things and you could have the FSB set to 200mhz and the memory bus set to...

    Fake Athlon 3200

    When I run CPU-Z it simply states it is a 3200+. Should I check any other tab where it would give me a serial number or something like that? Also, won't CPU-Z and similar programs report the same CPU number as the bios? So, If I overclock a 2500+ to say a 3000+ I think that the program will...

    Fake Athlon 3200

    The black rectangle clearly states 3200. But I think it should not be very difficult to alter that. I did set everything to auto (except the FSB) and it will NOT work. Now, once I change the voltage to 1.725, it will work fine (just generate a lot of heat, about 46 C idle if the room is at 74...

    Fake Athlon 3200

    Hello, I suspect I have been sold a fake Athlon XP 3200. I bought it from a online retail store and the CPU does come labelled as a 3200. However, it will NOT work at all on my Shuttle AN35 Nforce 2 ultra motherboard if I set the FSB to 200 mhz and the voltage to 1.65v. However, it will work...

    Athlon XP 3200+ problem. Need help!

    Hello everyone, I've just bought an Athlon 3400+ but I can't make it work right. Every time I set my Motherboard to 200mhz FSB, the system will keep reseting when either Linux or Windows XP is loading. If I set the MB to 166mhz the machine will work fine, but the CPU will operate as a...

    Free Ronald Reagan Bumper Sticker

    First of all, I am by no means a left wing liberal and I have no liking for the Democrats myself, but I do think that we must remember a few things in history before saying anything good about RR's administration. Guess who's administration in 1981 took a bunch of goons and misfits in...

    Problems building a machine

    I've just build a new machine with the ECS K75A MB and a Athlon 1.4 Ghz chip. Everything went well, but I just cannot make the CD-RW and the DVD-ROM work together. Everytime I have both installed, the damn machine will not boot. I've already set one of the drives to slave and the other one to...
