WOo HOo...xp2100

[rugbyguy]

I just wanted to let everyone know my results for the first system I have ever overclocked...

AMD xp2100 T-bred "B" chip
MSI K7N2
PNY Gforce4 TI4200 64MB DDR
1G PC3200 DDR RAM
Western Digital 120G HD
Quantum Fireball 40G HD
Pioneer DVD-RW DVR 104
Atapi 48x16x48
Cooling- Thermaltake Volcano 9 CoolMod

195FSBx11...I think this is good...puts me at 2.15 MGz...Ran burn-in wizard from Sandra 2003 for over seven hours on high stress withou a hitch. PC alert has my temp at 42c throughout. Vcore is at 1.65 steady...Let me know what you think as this was my first attempt. Oh, 3d Mark 2001 benchmarked me 11200 without tweeking my card.

Nice :beer: However Sandra burn-in is a joke, my favorite stress test is a Gromac WU from Folding@Home, next would be video encoding followed by playing BF1942 for hours.

try doing 11.5x
the 2100+'s limit is usually 2.3-2.35GHz
anyway, congrats on your first overclock😀

I oculd not get it stable at 11.5...any suggestions?

 

[bgeh]

looks like your voltage is a little low..........try pushing it higher and i would do what DAPUNISHER said

ok...up the juice in increments up to 1.8 and either got the blue screen of death or it would not boot into windaows at all...the only settings I have not messed with are the memoery timings. I can change the T-RAS, T-RCD, T-RP and CAS Latency manualy in the bios. What should they be set at? If I should not change these, then 195x11 seems to be the sweetspot.
