oldman420,
Did you use your asus a7n8x-e for this?
I have this board, and the same CPU, and can't get my overclock settings right.
I am totally new at overclocking, could you please go into detail about all of the settings that you used to get this.

Many thanks
Ken

i actualy have the cpu in a dfi infinity ultra. but i have extensive oc experience on that asus.
my settings are as follows
vcore 1.5 11.5 x 200 mhz cpu interface on agressive ram set to 2.5-3-3-11

the trick on that asus board is to up the vcore and even then anything over 2.2 ghz is fairly unstable.
they sell it in computer stores as an awsome ocing board maybe with ddr 500 ram it might be but with ddr400 it wont get much past 200 fsb. i am actualy running mine at 205 right now but that is with a single dimm installed with dual chanel it would be unstable.
my advise to you is to get an abit or dfi nf2 board these are MUCH better ocing boards.
but i do have to say that at 2.2 ghz the asus has my vote for audio. sweet sound

I have mine running stable at 200X9.5, it is not stable if I go over that.
The only settings that I have messed with is the FSB and multiplier.

up the vcore a little that will do it also set memory timings a little looser.settings something like 200 x 11 at 1.75 vcor with ram set to 2.5.3.3.11.
also increase the dimm voltage a notch and set the cpu interface to agressive

Will test my 2200 xp-m see how it goes at lower voltages to put into my HTPC. (Tried to push this chip but it could not do 2.5g at a reasoable voltage).

Threads like these make me want to get an XP-m to tide me over until the NF4 is out.

Indeedy, the Xp-M's (all of them) are best bang for the buck ever. The 2200 are newer to the scene, but they should OC like their cousins the 2600+ and the legendary 2400+ XP-M.

the 2600+ and the 2400+ (35W i assume ur referring to) perform nearly identically. i speak based on personally owning both and seeing many others who've owned both as well.

Just out of curiosity, what are you guys using for voltages? My 2400+ 35 watt seems to max at 2.52/1.76 volts (actual, it's 1.8 in the bios) and I don't know if I should go higher. I'm currently at 50 - 52C load (p95 load) with a swiftech MC462/50 cfm 80mm on it.

EDIT: And whats with the dfi lanparty and not having the 12.5x multi? it has every other option but that one...

Make sure you have the latest BIOS. My Shuttle mobo didn't have 11.5-13 multipliers with the BIOS it shipped with, but the latest BIOS has them all (and recognizes the cpu as a mobile XP).

i think the mb and ram make a big difference too.
im lovin this dfi infinity at 90 bucks you cant beat it.:cookie:
i like the cookie:cool:

I guess my only problem is spending so much for that ram. What..maybe double cost for miniscuole performance difference over some cheap KVR or other inexpensive ram?


I guess my feeling is, let the pentium buyers and A64 buyers eat up that overpriced ram. It has no place in a value system. The board does... as it has soundstorm, nice OC features, jap caps, and can't be duplicated cheaper. So does a $400 video card which can't be had cheaper and doubles performance over a $200 one. But expensive ram is a waste.

well yes and no i need it in order to run my system oc'd
i have tried value ram and it is generly less stable and therefore doesnt get me to the speed i need to be happy

Well If that's the case, it's no doubt worth it. I'm sorta in the middle, I only like to buy crucial which is middle price but has proven 100% compatability with every board they list on thier site. The latest stuff scares me though "ballistix" very expensive.

I have to go 1.775 (in the BIOS, in actuality it is a bit lower as reported by CPU-Z and Sandra) for me to hit 11.5x216 =2484. For me that is a fat tenth of a volt over the 1.65 that I run ordinarily. That would be a 31% overvolt and I ordinarily run 22%

I guess you can see my setup in my sig, until I change it at least. Running at 1.65 I have the totally subjective feeling that I am not shortening the lifetime of the CPU at all. Partly because of the sub-45C temps. The only thing I don't like is turning off the comp and having the CPU fan turn off right away, wish it kept spinning for a bit.

I run 24/7 at 216 x 11.5, at 1.825 Volts in BIOS with my 35 watt XP-M 2400+, 3:3 ratio, 2-2-2-11 RAM timings and CPU interface enabled.

I need 1.825 in BIOS at 200 x 12.5. It runs all day long at this setting without a hitch. It can also run at 13 x 200 at only 1.9 volts in BIOS.

My 35 watt 2400+ has hit 2.7 Ghz on air cooling, but the volts needed are pretty high, which is not good for air cooling of any sort. After a few benches and a short game of UT2004, I was forced by the temperature alarms that I set, to turn it down.

Yup! That's the point. The 2600+ is about the same OC as the 2400+, yet rated higher, and costs more. Perhaps the 2200 can match them both and be the new Bang for the Buck Champion....

im running 11.5 x 210 1.7 vcore and idle at 43 deg i wouls def say this is as good if not better than my 2600m.
i had a feeling they are all sweet sweet and amd just has to downgrade em.

ahh arent these the greatest chips ever? SUCK ON THAT INTEL!!!!!

im goin XP-M 2400+ 205*11 = 2255mhz. it can go up to 2.5 but alarms go off. need a tornado! im on an slk-900a btw. oh this is at 1.65 volts! i couldnt believe it, stock voltage! (for the actual barton) anyway, i cant tell the diff between 2.5 and 2.25, cept the sandra score is higher and is makin intel look bad by sellin the same performing chip at 2-300 dollars. i dont understand that company. what do they have going for them?
