Sweet! 2.2ghz plus for less than $100. Nice value.

?? My mobile 2600 does 2.5 ghz, and costs $99 at newegg at the moment.

Same OC here. 217x11.5 with my mobile 2600+, I'm pretty happy since this is my first overclock.

2.2ghz at 200fsb is just a athlon 3200+, still in the stock range.

$105 and i got one that can do 2.7 easy, i just don't have the heatsink for it(i paid $15 for mine,heh),i'm not willing to listen to my fans on full speed so i settle for 2.6. it can probably do 2.8 with a thermalright heatsink and a 60cfm fan

 

[JeffCY]

Nice. More details please . FSB, voltage, temps?

 

[AWhackWhiteBoy]

just typical, 200x13, 1.8volts, 42C max, 35C idle. it does 236x11 though,but i don't leave it at those settings becuase my crappy creative sound card gets latency isssues if i push past* stock FSB.

 

[SickBeast]

If it's just the FSB holding you back, why aren't you running at 13.5x200 since it does 2.7 "easily"? I doubt it's an easy task for it. You're already at 1.8v for 2.6. Logic states you would probably require at least 1.9v to hit 2.7. Does it pass Prime95 for 8 hours at that speed?

i thought the baront 2500+ was the easiest thing to oc. just bump up the fsb to 200 and ur set!

 

[AWhackWhiteBoy]

i never said it was the FSB,its my cooling. i have a volcano 12, and a 140CFM rear fan. i can never run them at full speed because its too god damn loud. don't forget its already 400mhz over spec with only an extra .15 volts, on that scale i should only need 1.825 or 1.85 for 2.7ghz. it boots into windows perfectly and runs fine at 2.7ghz and 1.85 volts but as soon as i put a load on it and watch the temps, it climbs to 50ish C and it crashs. i can never get above 52C without crashing. i need better cooling. it posts and starts to boot fine with 1.9v at 2.8ghz but booting windows makes too much heat right away and it crashes at boot. judging by the barton behavior and lots of tweaking, i'm fairly confident it can hit 2.8 on air, i could be wrong though?

its not uncommon that people hit 2.9ghz with water cooling and good stepping.

same here, and it's one of the original factory unlocked Bartons too.
I just run it at 3000+ speed.. UT2004 locks up after about 30 mins of play at 3200+.

Try 11.5x215 @ 1.8-1.85.

This is what I run at.

Although I have a 2600 .

 

[VIAN]

I did 2.2 with 2700 on stock.

 

[Anubis]

12*210 here for 2510 1.825v

38C running Seti 24/7

I haven't tried to push it any further; I've been SO damn busy lately. :disgust: No time.

Also, I really don't want to screw anything up...don't feel like having to clear the CMOS if it locks up, etc.

I guess I'm just lazy. I've built three boxes (not for me) in as many days....blah.

I'm very happy with it. I mean, a 400MHz OC w/no change in voltage? Rock solid stability? Pleased as punch.

 

[jswjimmy]

lol i can do 2100mhz with my xp1800 with the stock 1.55vcore. 2400mhz with a 1.7vcore.

Congrats on the oc. Welcome to like one year ago tough

My Barton 2500 @ 3200 sits under stock HSF btw. 39 degrees idle, around 50 full load.
