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

[Fern]

I must have a crappy chip. Looks like mine needs about 1.75 or 1.775 to be stable (P95 for 24 hrs)

Mine needs 1.9V for P95 stable (I only do about 12 hours).

Yo Wobble, what kinda cooling you got for that much vcore? Or did temps go up that much? I noticed a big jump from (damn can't remember now exactly) maybe 1.725 ->1.75. After that didn't jump as much for me, maybe 1c

 

[Falloutboy]

my 2400 mobile hits 2.57 at 1.8v with more cooling I should be able to get it to be stable at 2.7 or 2.8

 

[WobbleWobble]

I don't run it that high normally, I just used that high to see what I needed to do to get to 3200+ while keeping my system quiet.

I use a Zalman CNPS-7000A Cu running at less or about 7V. My socket temp was 60C and diode temp was 70C under full load, case temp was at 38C at the time. Ran Prime95 for several hours. This is with all my fans running as slow as they can.

My 2500+ can only overclock to a 185mhz FSB with stock voltages :\
I run it at 180mhz and my mem at a 5:4 ratio...it's as much juice as I can squeeze out
I was able to reach 3200+ speeds with higher voltages, but temps rose alarmingly, and it was unstable

At the rate things are going, I think the mobile bartons are the better overclockers.

 

[dannybin1742]

even at 1.71V mine does 2406 just a lucky chip i guess

0315 aqxda

 

[batmanuel]

Hell yes. Ran Prime 95 at 2.2GHz at default voltage for about 26 hours before I got bored and gave up. 100% stable since then in desktop apps and games.

 

[Boogak]

Just got one as part of a Fry's combo and it's been running stable crunching Prime95 the last 20 hours at default voltage at 2200mhz. Not bad at all for $75 and a free ECS mobo

 

[Schadenfroh]

2.15ghz stable is the end of the line

me too, week 27

yeah it looks that way
just the fact that they run at 1.25v leads me to believe that they are a select few in the athlon line

not all can do that

My 2500+ reaches 2.09 Ghz with a 190 Mhz FSB at the default voltage. It crashes at 2.2 Ghz. I'm going to try to go up with 1 Mhz increments from 190 until I can reach a stable speed.

 

[cubanx]

Yes. Just popped it in and set the FSB to 200 Mhz.

 

[high]

yup been running default @ 2.3 since September

 

[beatle]

Nope, didn't make it to 2.2 even with considerable voltage increases, good cooling, and BH-5 based memory on my NF7-S v2.0.

 

[almega]

yes

 

[Abzstrak]

running mine at 2500MHz at 1.825V (12.5 x 200 at 2-3-2-6 timings)... cooling is air and runs at 36C idle, 43C under load.

24hours prime95 and 24 hours memtest86 stable.
