2500+ OCing thread

[adams828]

ok since there seem to be so many threads about this floating around, I thought I'd start one (for the benefit of myself and others) for people to post their system specs/OCs/timings/temps/benches. personally I'd like to see how successful others have been using what hardware as well. hopefully this is useful to people, if not, just let the thread die


Hardware:
Barton 2500+ (week 43)
Retail HSF
Asus A7N8X-X Rev2.x (1006 bios)
512 MB Kingston HyperX PC3500

Settings:
FSB: 200 MHz (memory in synch)
CPU Voltage: 1.7
RAM Voltage: 2.6
RAM Timings: 2.5-3-3-6T

Temps:
CPU: 37C (idle) 47C (under load)
CPU Diode: 45C (idle) 56C (under load)


Memory Benchmarks:
Read: 2918 MB/s
Write: 1052 MB/s


Temps/benchmarks read from aida32, under load readins taken running prime95 torture test.

so far I haven't had much time to try for more aggressive memory timings, I'll update when I do. *Constructive* comments/criticsm is welcome of course.

Hardware:
Barton 2500+ (week 24)
Coolermaster HHC-001 HS w/ retail Fan
Gigabyte GA-7vt600 (VIA KT600)
512 MB Generic PC3200

Settings:
Multiplier: 9
FSB: 204 MHz (memory in synch)
CPU Voltage: 1.65
RAM Voltage: 2.8
RAM Timings: 2.5-3-3-6T

Temps:

I lowered the multiplier using the pin mod guide at overclockers.de. I wanted 10x but could only get 9 without painting the L1's closed. The CPU is at stock speed (1836 MHz) but it's running at 204 MHz FSB.
