POLL: does your 2500+ hit 3200+ speed on default voltage ?

[Soulkeeper]

Only select yes if the system is "fully stable" 24/7 (games, seti, prime95, or whatever you use)

btw mine needed a small boost if i remember correctly

Yes, my chip does run at 3200+ at stock voltage. It has done so since the first day I got my chip (last summer). It is Prime95/3DMark2K1/Winamp stable for over 48 hours (all looping at the same time). I love my chip. :heart:

you still using that nf7-s v 2.0 that got banged up?

 

[DAPUNISHER]

My week 13 2500+ did 2.3ghz on less than default voltage *actual 1.632-1.645v* under heavy load.

 

[PELarson]

Yes!

 

[Soulkeeper]

lookin good

 

[SKORPI0]

Yes.

well, at least I was the first to pick "Other hardware won't let you OC that far"

My Epox 8RDA doesn't like anything over 183 FSB without modding the voltage to the Northbridge, but it's running fine at 11x183 = 2.0ghz at stock voltage. I figure I'll be able to hit 200 FSB just fine once I get a new board.

I see you created the poll

There is still a difference between being Prime95 stable being able to run your games without errors. Like I said before, not everyone believes in running stability testers and if the overclock is stable enough to handle what they do it's a good overclock.

I think that may skew the results quite a bit. I hate to sound like a whiny little punk, but that's my 2 cents

Darn right. The thing is a tank. I'm still a very satisfied customer Shimm.

week 19, works gr8 at 3200's speeds, default Vc (1.650V) but i got bored so i oced it a lil more...with a lil voltage increase

[Sid59]

nope. .sitting on 1.7

 

[Night Blade]

Same, got a week 2 2004 & it needed .25v more juice.

 

[nippyjun]

Do all Barton chips (2500+ through 3200+) have the same 1.65 default voltage?

 

[JimRaynor]

I had to up it to 1.7 ^^

 

[nemesismk2]

I had to increase the core voltage of my unlocked xp2500 from 1.65v to 1.7v. It was purchased in may 2003 and since then has been running problem free as a xp3200.

Just checked Newegg, and the default voltage for a 3200+ is listed as 1.65v

 

[t4t3r]

mine did until i threw the ut2k4 demo at it. up until then it ran at 3200 at 1.65. gonna try 1.7v tonight on 3200 and see if it is stable again.

 

[JimRaynor]

maybe it wasn't actually "stable" at all, you have to try and get it truely "stable" for the first time

 

[WobbleWobble]

That's the problem with polls like this. People have different definitions of stable. To some, if it boots Windows, it's a good overclock. To others, if it runs regular stuff, it's stable. Others run tests, then it's stable.

Also things like how intense a program is, sure I can run Starcraft no problem. But since i don't play UT2004, it doesn't matter if it crashes when I play UT2004.

yeah i agree maybe i should start another poll on what people consider to be stable j/k
haha

 

[zodder]

I had to kick mine up to 1.725 on order to get it 100% stable. Not too bad.
