What's highest ACTUAL clock you've gotten Athlon XP to do?

My 2600+ mobile is currently running at 2.375ghz (190x12.5). I could go higher with the chip, but my 8RDA board doesn't like the higher FSB.
 
1700+ @ 2335mhz w/ Alpha 8045 heatsink and 80mm tornado fan. Did so on 1.65V but I eventually couldnt take the loud fan anymore.
 
2400 mobile @ 11.5x220=2424 mhz---slk900A 92mm tornado
some people have gotten 2.9ghz on phase change.
 
Jeez. I didn't realize my breaking of 2.4GHz was such a task here. It came pretty easily. I may have to slam that puppy up there again just to see if I can set a TBred record on air. 😀

Athlon 1700+, 2.4GHz+ on air.

Needed a screamer fan and 1.7v though, so I backed it off.

Same here, 2409MHz or so, except I'm running 1.8V actual voltage through it. That's how it's been running for over a year now. 🙂

Even if it does happen to die on me tomorrow or something like that, I only paid $45 for the CPU on the FS/T forums here, so no big loss. Plus it would give me an excuse to upgrade to an Athlon 64....

What about 13x?

Some of the early Nforce2 boards can't access the multipliers higher than 12.5x on the mobile chips. I know my Epox 8RDA board can't, and the Abit NF7-S and some DFI boards are the only ones that can use the full range of multipliers.

Wow... does that mean that also my xp 1600 can go anywhere close to those numbers? I know right now i cant coz of my old mobo... but if i got like an nforce 2 mobo u think i can make it anywhere close to 2.0ghz ?

 
ive run my xp1800 at 2500mhz it was stable but it ran at 64C under load with my volcano12 at high. i used a 1.78vcore(it was set at 1.8 but the mobo undervolts).

right now i run it at 2200mhz with a 1.55vcore because its cool and fast. it runs at 38C with the volcano12 at low

ditto. Though I had a SLK 900a with a panaflo and it was nice and quiet. I ran it like that all day long. I loved that chip, but my new A64 beats its performance by quite a bit.

noppe its a Palomino... and i know they kinda suck.. but can't i just oc it a little bit ?

I was playin with the bios voltage and frequencies before... and i changed the third option there... it said smthn like "change clock..." and there was 133mhz selected ( not sure if thats for the Memory or the CPU clock??) and then it said "166 Max" and it prompted me to enter a decimaL value... I entered 150... saved everything and when computer tried to restart, it just couldnt go past the memory check... and it would display at begining that i had a processor "Athlon XP 1900" when in reality its only an XP 1600... After i tried everything to make it start... unsuccesfully... i had to remove the CMOS battery and restarts bios in defaults... thanks god it worked 🙂
 
My Mobile 2500+ runs at 2400Mhz with no probs (ran Prime for few days).

It does run at 2500Mhz but fails Prime after 8 or so hours so I backed it down. I want 100% stable.
 
I run mine at 2.55ghz 24/7, but anything above that its voltage needs shoot up exponetially. 2.55ghz@1.775volts, 2.6ghz@1.825volts. best i've gotten is 2.65ghz perfectly stable but i didn't like the noise so i throttled everything back and i've been happy ever since. 240FSB in most cases, depending on the multiplier.
 
My XP-M 2600+ was running at 2507mhz Prime stable for a while, but it was a bit too hot and noisy for my liking.

Heh. Good luck then. Pallys are notorious for their "Sucking at Overclocking".

Mine's a JIUHB TBred-B - the hard-to-find "overclocks like hell" stepping. 😀

my xp1800 is also a JIUHB
 
running an xp-m 2500+ @2.6GHz when i want to. however, it requires putting the tornado on my sp-97 instead of some generic 92mm fan. it takes 2.0v to run at 2.6. it will run 2.5 @1.85v i think, not positive. i usually run it 1300, as that lets me run it at 1.1v.
