Nice Review: Mobile Barton VS. FX-53 VS. P4

The FX-53 is undoubtedly the fastest processor that I've had the pleasure of using, returning some quite simply amazing results.... also quite pleasantly surprised at how well the Moblie Barton 2500+ @ 2500Mhz kept up with the competition; it's certainly worth considering if you were looking for a long term cooling investment.

Just so potential buyers dont get wrong imprssion in this review the guy stipulates "exotic water cooling" for OCing the barton to 2500 mhz...right... I've seen countless guys getting them to 2700 mhz on air ... nothing "exotic" needed.


 
ya, thats true. wut i wonder is how people got their mobile xp to clock up to 2700MHz? i mean, most people are using the abit nf7-s or the dfi lanparty board, and its still difficult for them to get past 2500Mhz or 2600Mhz. is because of the cpu? or the fsb times the multiplier?

I got mine to 2693 but I was afraid to push more voltage. These dudes have money to burn and chips to burn I don't. Anyway, Voltage is the key. All go over 1.9 to hit those exceptional 2700's and all is dangerous IMO.


EDIT:

FSB and multi should only concern you in so far as thier muliple to arrive at final speed.

1. Best way to test OC is to lower FSB to say 133 so you can be sure it's not your memory holding you back. Then crank to multiplier as far as it goes stable. This value x 133 is the proccessors max speed.

2. Now you want to test mem. Lower multi to 6 and start cranking bus speed up to it maxes out.

3. Then you divide you proccessors max speed in Mhz from the first test by the bus speed you just figured out in the second test to arrive at your multiplier. Set mobo to this for best FSB and clock rates then test again..all should be stable.


You have to do test 1 and calculations in 3 for every new voltage you select. Keep notes and good luck.
