Isn't the XP-M 2600+ supposed to run at 15x133? For some reason mine won't do that. It won't POST at anything above 12.5x. Right now I have it happily running along at 11x200, though. I could try for 11.5x or maybe even 12x or 12.5x.

It's probably your motherboard doing that. What kind of board are you using? With my Abit NF7-S I can use any multiplier on the XP-M 2600+ processor.

This was temping at 1st. The more I thought about it, I don't think it's worth switching from my current desktop barton 2500+ o/c to 3000+(2ghz 1.65v core) to this... I think I'm better off saving up for a nforce3 250 board + amd64 chip...

Has anyone seen any one taking a mobile 64 and seeing how well it overclocks on a desktop board? I could google it if I wasn't lazy...

Well, anyone running a 2600+ XP-M at 15x on an Epox EP-8RDA3+?

ok. Asus A7n8x deluxe with latest 1007 bios

WHen I change the frequency to 166 mhz, and 11x multi it posts as

Unknown CPU 1833 mhz. And it doesn'tgo any further. It keeps rebooting when I try to go to Winxp. I tried lowering my FSB and Multi to like 10 and 133, and that doesn't work. it seems nothing I do can make it go into windows. Do I have a defective CPU? or is it my motherboard? the MOBO was a recently ordered Refurb from Newegg.com, and the CPU is from newegg.com as well.

What should I do?

I have a XP2500+ mobile for delivery tomorrow. Before that I have an Epox 8RDA+ with a 1800+ @ 166*9.5 @ 1.525v; do I just plug it in and expect it to post?

ok. Finally after some research online, it seems in someinstances, if you are installing a new mobo and chip over an existing XP installation you have to reinstall windows. Did that so far, and everything booted up. I am overclocking and testing my limits now.

For the voltage, i left it in the bios on Auto, and in windows Sandra and MBM5 says it's at 1.62. Kind of high for something that started at 1.4x volts right? I should put it back on manual and manually specify the voltage right?

You gotta watch the chipset i guess...I got a SOyo K7vme and dropped my mobile 2500+ in it and it defualts to 1.55 volts (should be 1.45)...I emailed Soyo and they told me it was chipset limitation as the KM400 doesn't offically support mobile cores, so I am out of luck cuz the bios offers no voltage tweaks for the CPU.

Siezure your voltage should be fine. Mine is running 11x200 at something like 1.632V, no problems.

What stepping is everyone getting now?

Here's what I received.


AXMH2400FQQ4C T8S4864D40408

AQYHA 0415 UPMW

Ordered about 1 week ago. Going to install this weekend in the $39 refurbed A7N8X Deluxe from new egg.

I got the Same Stepping as Uwannwhat

AGYHA 0415

With my Poor PC2100 ram, I am currently at 12.5 x 175 = 2187 mhz

I have my Ram timings at 2.5 - 3 - 3 - 11
When I do auto timings in my bios it sets it at 3-3-3-8

What do you guys think I should set my ram at?

Crucial PC2100 2x256 megs. (Stock timing is 2.5-3-3-6)


edit: I figured it out for myself. 3dmark03 with 2.5-3-3-11 timings = 5340
3dmark03 with 3-3-3-8 = 4332

That's a 1,000 point drop all on ram timings. So I think i'm satisifed with my 2187 mhz which translates to an AMD 3000+. If I had faster ram I'm sure I can hit maybe 3200+ or higher but don't want to push it.

I got a 2600+ M and a cheap $10 heatsink that mounts a 80mm fan on it. I was able to get it to 2.3 ghz pretty easy, I increased the voltage a bit. I also kept the multiplier around 12. Not bad, get a $100 chip and it performs better than the the $200 3200+ chip.

How much difference does it make that the Mobile Bartons have a 266 FSB and the regular XPs have 333?

Ok guys you convinced me to buy the chip but this is what I have to run it:

Mushkin PC2700 512x2 mb ddr
MSI KT3 Ultra supports to XP 2600+
Enermax 431w psu
120=200gb wdd

Currently running a stock xp1800..

So can I get the chip and o/c it to alteast 2300?

Check to make sure your motherboard will accept the mobile barton and bartons in general. Not all will. What do you mean 2300? Do you mean 2300+ or do you mean 2.3 gig? I'm thinking if your motherboard only supports up to 2600+ it probably can't raise the mhz enough. But I dunno, you need to check out your bios.

You may need a new mobo. I don't think you're going to be able to do much with that board.

I have the same board and at first I couldn't get a multiplier to work over 9.5. The FSB could go as high as 215 w/ my memory. After a couple of weeks I tried again and got it up to 11.5x200. Didn't try any higher FSB w/ the 11.5, but any multiplier above 11.5 wouldn't go past the post. It's been stable at this for a month so maybe time to try again.

yes 2300mhz


It appears the the Mobile Bartons are multiplier locked on the KT3 Ultra

Take a look at this forum: http://forums.pcper.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12

and do some searches on the kt3 and mobile barton

Read up a lot of those threads first than come back here if you have any more questions.
