Informal Poll for Barton + nForce Chipset

[Fern]

I'm polling to find out how many of you OCer's jumped the FSB to 200 from 166 (instead of upping the FSB incrementally). Please post if you tried that and what the results were.

Thanks

I have a 1700 and i upped the fsb from 133 to 200 and it worked fine.

me too

 

[Dufrane]

I tried and failed. Could only reach 190 fsb. But I think that my pc 2700 ram was the problem. I have a 2500 barton and the asus a7n8x mb (non Deluxe)

2500+
A7N8X-Deluxe

Did 200x11, but wouldn't pass Prime95 without a voltage higher than 1.825V
200x10.5 passes Prime at 1.775V.

I've got a 3000+ and two 2600+, all running at 11.5x200, stock voltage. No stopping along the way, just up'ed to 200, and instant 2305Mhz.

 

[jar5tyle]

I went from 166 to 200 in one jump. Worked fine.

Yep same here and now in the 230's with the multiplier backed off and v's up

Are you still kicking yourself for buying the 3000?

 

[pspada]

Naw, but I do regret the big bucks I paid for the 2700+ I had before it. The 3000+ cost me nada, just swapped it for that chip.

 

[myocardia]

Hah, unless all of my powers of reasoning have left me in the last few minutes, that means that you paid big bucks for the 3000!

Epox 8RDA (early 1.1 revision)

Currently running at 182 x 11 = 2001 mhz (stock voltage), but it's not because I got a bad 2500+. My board needs the VDD mod to up the voltage to the NB for 200 FSB and I've been too lazy to do it.

Blue, you've been talking about modding your board for months now! Send it to me, and I'll do it for you.

LOL! Yeah I know....

I've got a friend who knows a friend who said he could the soldering for me. It's just a matter of getting the board over to him to do it.

For the time being, though, I am still happy to be running at 182 FSB, as it's a huge improvement over my XP2000+ (133 FSB). I'm sure once the "newness" wears off, I'll either be modding the board or getting a new one.

166 to 200 at default voltages on a craptastic AOpen AK79D-400VM board. Its not that bad of a board, but it was cheap !!! I love my Barton !

 

[Fern]

Wow i'm impressed. Seems here and elsewhere I posted this question finds a lot of people are able to get to 200 FSB right off the bat. In another forum somebody reports going from 133 to 200 without a hitch. Thanks for responding everyone

 

[SuperStrokey]

8rda+ with a 2500 barton did 223fsb on mine with 1.775 volts. 215 fsb on 1.7. Great stuff with out a doubt. I would go higher but my mobo doesnt like a higher FSB and my cpu is locked.

 

[Duvie]

I had a week 43 locked chip...but I raised vcore to 1.7v (1.67v actual), bumped up nb chipset to 1.6v, vdimm to 2.7v and took it straight to 200fsb...ran prime for 48 hours....

After that Istarted bumping the vcore down and eventually at 1.65v still had prime stability for 6 hours of testing....The cpu was not mine so ultimately I bumped it back up to 1.7v bios and called it good since I knew it primed for 48 hours ran every test I threw at it with SETI, POV-Ray, multitasking, TMPGenc mpeg2 encoding, gaming....Rock solid so I felt comfortable giving it to my friend and saying "have fun"....

I left it at 1.7v with no fears as the temps only loaded to 49c on that particular board...I had on of the new copper core retail HSF with improved fan and fan to hs connection...very quiet and good airflow....

 

[DerwenArtos12]

I got a barton 2500+ and upped the fsb to 200 no prob. I have a dfi lanparty nf2 w/ an nForce 2 ultra 400 northbridge. Absolutely no problems. Stock voltage and all.

 

[PhoenixOfWater]

2500+ to 3200+ (11X200) with stock
Installed windows and drives using 2500+
then booted up to 3200+ and started priming

 

[badaphooko]

i have a crapy biostar nforce board and it too, jumped from 166 to 200 in the first shot with all the default voltages. its been runnig great for 2 months now. i do have good ram though...

 

[Megatomic]

I did it. Barton 2500+ on first boot up too. Never even bothered with the in-between frequencies.
Oh yeah, all voltages are at their stock value (aside from Vagp).

 

[Richdog]

I always boot straight up at 200Mhz FSB then go incrementally up from there. With modern Nforce 2's and CPU's it's no sweat whatsoever to hit 200 straight away. If I had a CPU that didn't do it i'd get rid of it and get another.:beer:
