Mobo: NF7-S(stock)
Processor: 2400+ 35 watt Mobile
RAM: 2x512 Kingston Value PC2700 2.9 volts
Timings: 2.5-4-4

Results: 2500 mhz
Cooling: SLK-947U with 80mm 30cfm fan.

Ran Prime95 stable for about 9 hours. My ram is really limiting higher FSB. Can anyone recommend some good ram? I want to hit 250x10. Thanks!

it's highly unlikely to hit 250 mhz on that board especially unmodded.

i think you can hit around the 220 mark w/o any mods... and if you wanted to mod your board, you could hit in the 240-250 range.

assuming you could get to the 250 mhz range, i'd say go for some ocz pc3700 EB.

mobo: Shuttle FN45 (SN45G)
BIOS: FN45S00O
Processor: 2400+ Mobile Barton AXMH2400FQQ4C
Stepping:
RAM: 512 MB PC3200 HP (Infineon), dual channel - 2.5, 3, 3, 7
FSB: 166
Mult: 12
Voltage: 1.57v from Adia32 (Bios set to auto)
Resulting OC: 1996MHz.
Cooling: Stock Shuttle Heatpipe/fan
Temp: 44 idle, 49 load

I was running a Barton 2500+ on 166FSB then I tossed in this Mobile. It booted as a 1GHz so I went in and changed the multiplier to 12 forgetting the FSB was at 166. It booted in fine at 2.0GHz so I left it there!

Edit> Tried 10x200FSB at 1.60v and it locked after reboot. Had to clear bios to get the system back. O-well, I'm happy with a cool 1.8GHz anyhow!

Sig. I just tried OCing a bit more but any increase in speed (either multi or FSB) will need me to kick the voltage to at least 1.875 (1.75 now) which causes my PC to not post, requiring a CMOS clear. Now, I got my 2100+ T-bred B up to 1.95V on this mobo so I know it's not the board. I don't think this proc will handle anything more than 1.85V. But jeez louise. It's so damn fast already that SiSoft Sandra recognizes the model as a 3612+.

Prime95 stable overnight;
I know the RAMs running a pretty nasty overclock, but can anything happen to it although its prime stable? - it stays cool due to aluminum covering & fans blowing right at it...?!

Great thread, helped squeeze the last juice out of my rig, although my motherboard is a heck of a FSB bottleneck...

 

[DaNorthface]

my new rig that i upgraded from a duron 800@1000.. Prime stable overnight.

 

[cqcc]

going to oc my system
athlonXP2500+ burton(not mobile) to 3200+ at 200*11.0 on Abit NF7-S rev2.0.
question: is it good to oc my system under retail headsink and fans? any good and cheap memory suggest (of course 2 sticks of 512mb pc3200 wanted)?

 

[HGC]

Everything working great again at the below specs, with vcore at 1.70 and memory at 2-3-3-7, after format and OS reinstall. Stable in Prime95 for 12+ hours and counting.

Earlier when I bumped the the multiplier to 11.5, as Windows was starting I got a nasty blue screen and every program that was loading at the time was rendered non-functional. My first experience of data corruption. Next time I will boot to Memtest floppy first, an excellent suggestion.

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

2400+ @ 2.2ghz 1.85v not exactly wonderful, but i didn't feel like going farther, its an ecs m/b that requires bridge mod to o/c. a lot of trouble.

but, using http://crystalmark.info/download.html crystal cpuid, i can change multplier on the fly based on usage. from 400-2.2ghz. its call multiplier management, sortalike powernow. keeps cpu in mid 30's most of the time.

A lot people are running at 200+. I cannot do it for now but I know my mb (8rda+ rev 1, a7n7x-dlx rev 1) cannot handle it. Bought a nf7-s specifically for the purpose of cracking 200fsb.

I have an Asus A7N8X deluxe. My revison number printed on the mobo is 1.84 I'm wondering if I would have the same problems as you in regards to the getting to 200 MHz + FSB. I haven't purchased a Athlon Mobile chip, yet. Do you have voltage stability problems when you increase voltage much higher than normal? I heard this is why the NF7 board is so good, because it has a better power supply for the CPU, than most NForce2 boards. What does 8rda+ mean ? I don't know what that is. On my Asus box it says A7N8X Deluxe-UAY Is that where 8rda+ is from?

this is the result from the second 413 VPKW , i had some problems at first same as the previous processor realizeing it was the bios i cleared the CMOS and reset the timings for memory. will retest the 409 to see if there is any improvement


my room temps are avg of 85F dureing the day here in california

Mobo: Epox 8RDA

Cooling: SLK-800 with YS-Tech 80mm (37.5 cfm?)

This OC stable enough for 3dmark, aquamark and most other benches but not P95 stable for more than an hour.
200x12 for 2.4ghz was P95 stable at 1.85v for 4+ hrs then I shut it off.

8rda+ is one of the serveral nforce2 chipset mbs made by Epox. Older 8rda+ used nforce2 rated at 333mhz (rev 1), more recent ones use ulta 400 (rev 2).

My a7n8x is a rev 1.xx (don't remember which one it is, I loaned it to a friend now) - also using 333mhz nfocre2.

If you have 333mhz of nforce2, your chance of running at 200mhz fsb is about 50/50 (by my estimate)

There is no inherent difference between a mobile xp and a desktop xp (as far as I can tell), so if you can run a desktop xp at 200mhz or greater, you are pretty much assured to run a mobile xp at the same fsb.

a7n8x got pretty stable voltage (and overvolts a little) but the maximium vcore is 1.85v. 8rda+ undervolts a bit (but not too bad) but the maximum is 2v(?).

No matter what I do, neither mb can run reliabily at 198+ fsb. I know this is not the problem of vcore/cpu/memory since I can run, say, 184x12.5=2.3g at 1.7v but cannot run 11.5x12=2300 - no matter what I do. I also have 2 nf7-s', and I can run 207+ fsb on both easily using same parts.

Hope this helps.

Got a new 35W 2400+

0402 IQYHA SPMW

this thing is running 3000 mhz at the moment @ 2.0 volts

-33C's on an unmodded mach 1.

not too bad... better than my previous 2400+ which only did 2.9 (ONLY).

 

[pelikan]

Sick. Congratulations on 3 GHz.

 

[trexpesto]

See sig.
Only ran Sandra so far, but it feels good.


First build - went OK! Runs nice and quick compared to the P2 450!
I am rebating ~ $200!
Got 35W 2400+, IQYHA stepping from newegg.
Had to buy the geforce to do me temporarily.

I put the multiplier up to 11.5 x 216 @ 1.75V but didnt test it. Tried 12 but didnt give it enuf VCore.
This about what I wanted, nice cool and quiet OC system with good stability.

Thanks Avalon, Mega, Shimmi, Whack and Myocardia, and everyone!

<Edit: So now I have sig, changed my icon>

 

[skyking]

I've got a volt modded 8rda+ rev 1.1, it has a dashpot so I can adjust the chipset volts. Currently it is sitting unused.
Would it be worth trying out a mobile, considering my old hardware? I got this thing to post to 200sfb on some generic bh-5, but got busy with other things and never built the computer.

 

[3LEMENT0]

Ok final settings with Prime stable for 48 Hrs. also stable in:
1. Sandra Burn-in
2. Super PI (all)
3. CPU Burn
4. memtest
5. windows memtest

All specs taken from MBM5
OS-WinXP Pro
AXP-M 2600+ @2538 vcore 1.85-1.87
ABit NF7-S V2 latest bios with small HS on mosfets n SB
ThermalTake Extreme Volcano 12
OCZ 512x2 DDRRAM (3200) at 2.78-2.8V timings 2.5-3-3-11
HDD/ZIP/DVDCDRW/
5 case fans (2 antec, 2 sunon, 1 generic) + vantec nexus fan controller

Temps with ambient temp at 28 C
Case/System = 30 C
CPU = 48 C no load probably 55 with load

For NF7-S users is the CPU temp around 20 deg. hotter than the system temp at this overclock???
