The 35w Mobile Athlon CPU

[DaNorthface]

Newegg is now selling the I Stepping of the 2400 35 watter.. of course there's a chance you still won't get one but a few people have reported getting the I stepping and there's a good chance you will get one too. The thing is, the I stepping from newegg doesn't look very good from the overclocks i've read on variest forums. Anyways, i chose to get the 2600+ 45 watter for $8 more, they are now $95 at newegg..

 

[DaNorthface]

doubled up..

 

[EddNog]

Well, if you click on the links in my reply right there, you will see that the 45watt and 35watt chips I have are both I-stepping and they were both from NewEgg.

I've gotten the 35watter to do 2556MHz (12.0*213) at 2.063volts, with dual channel memory and CPU Interface On, with my AN7.

[DaNorthface]

that's a lot of voltage..

 

[EddNog]

This is true; I should probably try lowering it. I'll do some downvolting tests later, maybe today.

However, it did hit 2420 at 1.85, much lower than my 45watter's 2.0 for that same speed.

Results? I've been looking at buying a DP board for XPs, and the XP-M would seem to be ideal for a dually system with some overclockability.

testing one of the VPKW today , at 2240 mhz 1.6 volts . i will try more speed after i am happy that its prime stable. heatsink being used is a SLK900a with a low cfm fan [came with the heatsink so dont know what cfm it is . i do like the blue LED look of it]

i had sent both he vpkw out to someone to be modified to MP for me that is reason for not testing any sooner.

I got my 2600 45 watt mobile barton from newegg 2 days ago.. I just went right to 1.8 volts and 2550 mhz.. I might be able to lower the voltage and still be able to hit that speed, but i really don't feeling like messing up my OS for now.. it's at 50 C max using a 38 cfm fan and the 947u heatsink

Athlon 35w XP-M 2200+

Ran at 200 FSB x 13.0 @ 1.95v, 2.60 GHz for two days without a reboot. Appeared to be perfectly fine; 10 hours on Prime95 without an error, played various high requirement video games for several hours, no crashes or any issues. After 48 hours started having multiple problems for no apparent reason; data corruption, bios kept defaulting to fail-safe settings, etc. Finally corruption got to the point where I had to format and re-install Windows. Slowly worked my way back to 200 FSB x 12.5 @ 1.85v, 2.50 GHz. Stable there for the better part of a week and that's where I'll stay. Just seems odd that it ran rock-solid for two days at 2.6 and then went bonkers. Temps were consistently low. Memory and all other components test fine. Maybe just pushed the CPU a tad too far.

My rig:

Athlon 35w XP-M 2200+ @ 200 x 12.5 @ 1.85v
Thermaltake SilentBoost w/AS5
Shuttle AN35N Ultra Refurb - $38 from NewEgg ;-)
3 x 256MB Kingston ValueRam PC3200 @ PC3200 2.5-3-3-11 (Samsung chips)
Maxtor 120GB, 7200RPM, 8MB
Sony 4x DVD+/-
Artec Combo DVD ROM/CD-RW
ATI Radeon 9000 Pro
Enermax 350w PSU
3 x 92mm 12v case fans @ 7v

Stepping: AQYHA 0413 VPKW
RAM: 1 GIG ECC registered Corsair
FSB: 144
Mult: 16
Voltage: 1.68v
Resulting OC: 2304mhz
Cooling: SLK900a with low cfm fan
Temp: 47 idle, 54 load

Processor 2

Mobo: MSI K7D Master L
Processor: Mobile 2400+ 35 watt From ExcaliberPC
Stepping: AQYHA 0409 SPMW

this one is giving me problems with stability past this point. maybe limitation of this processor on this one. have one more to test fingers crossed and hopeing for better results

 

[EddNog]

Got it down to 1.96 so far and it's rock stable; gonna' try lowering more again this week.

-Ed

 

[Avalon]

I bet there is a chance you can get it down to 1.9v and be rock stable. That would be nice.
What board, HSF, and PSU are you using?

I recently purchased a 2400+ based on this forum and was wondering if anybody else had these results. Running at 216*11 I only score ~9100 in 3dmark 2001 while at 200*11.5 I score ~10100, a 1k point difference. Does anyone know why this would be? Also, while i can run the benchmark at 216*11 I can't seem to get prime95 to run without error no matter the voltage I set.

i would like to know about this too.. anyone know?? My best guess is because when you fsb overclock, your agp timing goes out of sync since you probably have agp lock and it causes a slow down.. please correct me if it's wrong

 

[Gamingphreek]

Nah... what memory are you using? Memory latencies go up after certain intervals. That is probably what happened. Just manually tighten your memory timings.

[Avalon]

When you set your FSB to 216, a lot of boards will typically adjust the memory timings. My board will change my CAS from 2 to 3 if I go from 200 to 216, so I have to manually set it. His board has PCI/AGP lock, so that's not a problem. I'm guessing mostly it's due to the latency, but also I think it may have to do with the fact that you're not even stable at a 216FSB. Try bumping the FSB down to 212 or 213 and see if you can get it stable there.

hi,

everyone that's thinking of buying an IQYHA from excaliber for $100 or so... DON'T!!!

newegg is shipping the IQYHA 35W 2400+'s...

at least I got one today

 

[AWhackWhiteBoy]

i paid the extra money to get one from excaliber and i've been completely satified. i'd rather spend the extra $10 and KNOW i'm getting a great overclocker.

more like an extra $12 + 5 for shipping.

either way, there's really no difference between the "A" and the "I" at least from my own experience.

 

[Avalon]

Agreed. Most of the 35w chips top out at 2.6ghz on air. I really doubt the I stepping is any better.

 

[NokiaDude]

What does your BIOS report the 35w mobile CPU's as? "Mobile Barton" ?

unknown cpu

 

[0roo0roo]

depends on bios. some like honeyx for ecs k7s5a actually say mobile barton

I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with my 2400XP-M 35W experience. I just two days ago bought this from Excaliber and it is the "I" stepping (I also got my NF7-S at the same time). My question is that I see to be hitting some MHz barrier BUT it doesn't make any sense at all. Let me explain...

I ran the FSB at 133 (266DDR) to single out CPU performance.

1st: I hit 1.866G at 1.35V - nice...

2nd: I hit 2.0G at 1.45V - Going strong...

3rd: I hit 2.2G at 1.55V - (1.65 is standard voltage at this speed from the factory) - Still going strong right? I'm thinking I've got some kind of OC champ...

4th: I hit 2.4G and crashed.. over and over again... - I tried 1.6V, 1.65V, 1.7V, 1.75V, 1.8V and all I keep getting is that black screen BEEP and lowBEEP, BEEP and lowBEEP where I have to unplug the PS and pull the battery out of the Mobo to reset the BIOS.

5th: (now) I'm running at 2274 at 1.65V (207*11 which is in my sig).


I can't figure this one out... I have an NF7-S, TruePower 550W, CoolerMaster AERO7+... I even ran these test with the case open and a fan blowing cool air. So I should be good to go right? Any suggestions, even if you think I've already tried them, would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

what's the problem then? you never really say what you want it to do or what you think is wrong.. just do 200 mhz fsb and set the vcore to 1.8 and see how far it goes..
