What are Your Mobile Althlon Overclocking Results and Details?

[turbo__]

Are these CPU's unlocked both ways? Higher multipiers and lower multipliers are available? Like the 2400 mobile for example, does that have multipliers past 13.5 available?

 

[Shimmishim]

yes!

Epox 8RDA+ Rev 1.0 board with active cooling mod on the northbridge. Athlon XP 2400+ Mobile (45W version) overclocked to stable 2305Mhz on 200FSB at 11.5 with 1.7 Vcore. Corsair DDR400 RAM. Temps: 39 idle, 49 load. Using Speeze HSF.

mobo: Shuttle AN35N-Ultra
Processor: 2400+ mobile 45w
Stepping: IQYHA
RAM: 512mb Kingston pc3200
FSB: 200
Mult: 11.5
Voltage: 1.55v
Resulting OC: 2300mhz
Cooling: Zalman 7000 AlCu w/ Arctic Silver 5
Temp: 36 idle, 47 load

This is my first overclock ever on my first home-made PC build. I'm pretty pumped about it...especially for how quiet the HSF is and how low the voltage is. I thought I'd have to up it to hit 2300mhz. I think I could go farther, but I'm going to leave it like this for a while before I bump the multiplier to 12.

EDIT: Now I'm at 200x12 2.4ghz.

:thumbsup:

Great setup. economical and can run with the big boys..I love that. Course you *could* crank it up about ~200 more Mhz but the resulting Vcore needed and heat may not be worth it to you.

Are you sure that 2400+ is a few hours prime stable with only 1.55Vcore @2300mhz??? That's quite a chip if so.

Anyway just so you know, the default desktop Vcore is 1.65..it would'nt kill ya to see how fast you can go at that voltage.

Hey sorry I haven't looked at this thread in a while.

It's funny cause right before looking at this thread I had tweaked my voltage a little. I'm upping it a little bit cause you're right, I got an error in Prime95 after about 3 hours. I'll get back to ya on how high I can get this puppy. Thanks or the comment on my rig too, I tried to keep it economical. Next is another 512mb of RAM and then a 9800 Pro! :beer:

Current setup:

Mobo: DFI Ultra Infinity
Chipset: nforce 2
Bios revision: 6/19
Processor: Mobile 2600+
Stepping: IQYHA 0351 MPMW
RAM: 2 x 512 Buffalo 3200 CH5
Timings: 2.5/3/3/11 CPC ON DC
FSB: 225
Mulitplier: 12
Voltage: 1.85
resulting OC: 2.7 GHZ
Cooling: Water, BECooling Slitedge

My previous setup:

Mobo: DFI Ultra Infinity
Chipset: nforce 2
Bios revision: 6/19
Processor: DESKTOP Barton 2500+
Stepping: KQYHA 0402SPAW
RAM: 2 x 512 Buffalo 3200 CH5
Timings: 2.5/3/3/11 CPC ON DC
FSB: 236
Mulitplier: 11
Voltage: 1.85
resulting OC: 2.6 GHZ
Cooling: Water, BECooling Slitedge

I was really surprised by the desktop barton, but I gave in and got a solid 2600+ from a fellow anandtecher. It does 2.8 at 1.95 but it gets around 50c load with my water cooling so I keep it at 2700@1.85 and it only gets to 43c load. I am happy with that for the moment.

so what is the best stepping?

better yet, what exactly does stepping mean?

I know my board can do 266mhz FSB..... Asus A7V8X - if I buy a Mobile AThlon XP 2600 (Stepping Code IQYHA), with some decent cooling how fast do you think I could push it? with what kind of multiplier?

sorry guys, I am the uber-newb of this thread I would be most appreciative of a helpful response

Stepping is the week or time frame it's made combined the technology employed to make a certain series of chips... when AMD or Intel expirmenting with yields and such they change the stepping...A new processor stepping is usually, if all works as planned, a slightly refined core design implemented to correct minor defects or to improve yields...which most likly translates into higher speeds and lower Voltages needed to run the chip... Make sense?? Probably not but this should be all you care about:

When overclcokers refer to a good stepping, it means the chip was one of thier most succesful. Sucess defined as usually able to reach well over thier highest rated chip in a product iteration..in the bartons case a 3200+ or 2.2ghz... no matter what AMD decides to speed rate the chip. This is why a mobile IQYHA can reach 2400Mhz++++ even though it's sold at a measley 1800mhz-2000Mhz.

IQYHA is one of the best.

As far as your board..how high do the CPU multiplier go in that board? and what kind of memory you got?

Your board can do 200mhz FSB. or DDR 400

Do I need any special bios to use this chip? I am using an NF7-S and the chip refuses to load windows at anything besides 6x100 no matter what multipier or voltage settings I use. Pretty frustrating

got a new board dfi infinity nf2 ultra i bet i get to 2500 stable on air

with what voltage?

the nf7-s actually allows for higher clocks than the dfi board

dfi > nf7-s at fsb's

nf7-s > dfi at pure clockspeeds

new super chip i got this baby to 210 x 12 at 1.75 vcore

its prime stable in a infinity ultra mb at this speed thats better than my mobile 2600 will do!!!!.

NOT Prime95 stable, but TBH, I don't care. I may up voltages a bit.
It works in UT2004 without an issue though, and that's all I care about, so Prime95 can eat itself

 

[Winnoc]

Get rid of that silly stick of pc2700, up the voltages and crank up the fsb on that cpu.

You can go MUCH higher with your rig.

 

[Lonyo]

I can't get rid of the PC2700, I only have 768MB total as it is, and I game (and UT2004 uses a lot of RAM).
I managed 12x200 (2400MHz) @ 1.74v actual (1.775 BIOS). Haven't tried any higher, at ~1.68v it wouldn't even begin a SuperPi calc. Now it'll get easily to 1M (only test I've run so far).

 

[osage]

just warming up a 35W 2400M I got recently but so far it looks OK.

Mobo: Epox 8RDA+ Version 1.1
cpu : AXMH2400FQQ4C
IQYHA0417XPMW
ram: 512mb some generic pc3200
2.5-3-3-8
video: Gainward Ti4200 128mb
FSB: 200mhz
multi: 12.5 for 2500mhz
voltage: 1.60
cooling: retail AMD hs with a 7K delta fan..hs is from a 2100xp
temps: 35C at idle and after 6hr so far F@H 100% load it's @ 38c

this combo is not in a case right now, just mobo sitting on the box for testing. system/mobo temp shows 31C so it's cool in my basement. temps will go up I'm sure when it goes into a case. this was going to be a spare F@H rig......

chip will do 2500mhz ok at 1.575 but it will crash after a while with F@H at 100% load.
I'll give it a few days and take it a little higher.
