I have a Soyo Dragon KT600 and I just got an Athlon XP Mobile 2500+ which I would like to run at 3200+ (11x200) since I have PC3500 RAM.
The probelm I have is that the motherboard is not OC friendly in that there are no voltage adjustment whatsoever. In fact the multiplier and FSB are set with dip switches and jumpers 🙁
My question is, does the mobo determine the CPU voltage by looking at the FSB/multiplier combo? I assume that means that it would think my processor is a true Barton 3200+ (also at 11x200) and run it at the normal Barton 3200+ voltage of 1.65V?
Is this a problem for my XP2500+? My guess is that I'd end up in that ballpark anyway even if I had adjustable voltage, maybe a little lower so the OC's processor might run slightly hotter than it could but without being an issue?
