Alright; this might not sound surprising as it seems like these comments and questions come up everyday on this category.
After searching up some archived threads on Anandtech about ocing Barton 2500, and looking at some member's profiles.
I'm using ABiT NF7-S Rev. 2.0, 1024 MB "Hynix" (Mind as well be generic) PC 3200 CL3 memory, Barton 2500+, and currently I have one Smart Fan II running in my back exhaust, and no other fan (I'm using an Antec LANboy; supposedly a variation of Sonata), but I did take the time to put a manual fan beside my case (have my case opened 24/7 now) and have it blowing at it; it seemed to decrease the temperature by a bit.
Anyhow.. onto the case. I set my BIOS at 11x Multiplier, and 200 FSB (2.2 GHZ; this is Barton 3200 specs right?); then turned my Memory Ratio to 5/5 to reach 400mhz to match.
Running some temperature monitoring and my BIOS monitoring for heat, I seem to be getting 25-27C Case, and 40C CPU Idle, 42-46 CPU load (how do I find out about full load temp. anyway?). Is this normal? .. I figure its sort'ved weird because I'm only using the Stock HSF (Not sure if its copper plated at the button of the HS), and AS3.
I've been wondering how do I overclock memory? .. on my BIOS for memory settings I see four or five settings, I've got no clue at how to do this? .. can somebody explain please? ..
Thanks for your help,
Kharlia
