best overlockable BARTON

[0JK0]

wchich Barton Athlon XP is better to overlock Athlon Xp+2500 or Athlon Xp+2800?

 

[Atif]

Based on performance/price ratio, 2500+ by far

Peace

agreed, a lot of people have been able to get their 2500+ to 3200+ on stock voltage

I got a barton 2500+ up to 2.4ghz (3200+ is 2.2ghz) on air. But no experience with the more expensive chips.

got my 2500+ from the first batch that newegg ever got and shes OCing just nice 2.3ghz @ 1.975v yeah may seem like alot of juice but shes been this way for months with no problems.........the newer cores dont need as high voltage to get this speed tho 🙂

How about based on performance only?

Epox 8rda+
2x256MB XMS3200 Corsair

set at 1.825 volts
192x12.5=2400

using an slk800 and vantec tornado my temps under load are 37C max. I switched to a really quiet fan and the max temp is like 42c

What kind of really quiet fan are you talking about? How noisy it is ( i mean the quieter one).
I don't really want to have a vacuum cleaner in my room!!!

According to your configuration I assume that you also overlocked FSB from 333MHZ to 400MHZ, because you're using
DDR 400 Memory, is that right?

 

[TheMagnificentCheese]

Well, even with PC2700 memory (333mhz) he could hit those speeds by stepping down the memory percentage in the bios, or increasin timings to 7-3-3-3 or something. It's all preference, but you're better off buying 400mhz memory for this kind of a clocking so you can use all of that yummy bus speed.
