XP2500+ to XP2500+ Mobile Success!!!

[WobbleWobble]

I went from my XP2500+ desktop chip which would only hit 2.1GHz at 1.775V (actual) to a XP2500+ mobile chip which I'm running at 2.4GHz at 1.68V (actual). Tried 2.5Ghz but that fails Prime95 after 5 1/2 hours.

I'm anal about at least passing Prime95 for at least 12 hours, so I'm running it at 2.4 currently.

- A7N8X-DX V2 motherboard

Running extremely quiet in an Antec Sonata case with 2x 120mm fans running at ~5V, 80mm Panaflo PSU fan at ~7V, my Zalman CNPS-7000A Cu at ~5V and a Zalman heatpipe. Fast yet silent, I'm loving it!

Nice low voltage. Which barton U got? I got the $77 2400+ and was running 2400 Mhz at 1.63 actual..failed prime in hour 3..now at 1.70V testing...

So are you Prime stable for at least 12 hours @ 2.4?

 

[WobbleWobble]

I don't have the stepping handy, but I did take a pic of it and I'll read it off later.

Yes, it's Prime95 stable for at 2.4 for... I think I ran it over 16 hours.

Congrats!

I'm definately getting myself a Atlon XP 2500+ Mobile chip in the near future. It looks like I can get it to around 2.8 Ghz at 2.15 volts. And, I've never had a CPU with a 512 KB L2 cache.:beer:

better get it quick
newegg was 95 dollars last night.
i think the price has been going up, but i swear they were cheaper than that last week.

If you can post some benchmark comarisons between your old and new chip that would be much appreciated.

 

[WobbleWobble]

What kind of benchmarks would you like me to run?

I don't really feel like putting back my old chip in, but what I can do is underclock it to the speeds of my old chip. The results should be the same as they're the same core.

 

[nippyjun]

I'm most interested in the UT2004 demo between 2.1 gig speed and 2.4 speed.

Thanks,
A.

I was watching the UT2004 demos and it's pretty! I wasn't expecting anything that nice.

Unfortunately my computer doesn't boot properly when I changed the multipliers. I have a feeling it's that "Uber" BIOS I'm using. I'll flash back to the Asus released BIOS and I'll get the scores tonight.

 

[poohbear]

yup, it's a sweeeet chip. Overclock is in my sig. That's on air cooling w/ a slk-800 & 80mm panaflo ultra. I'm sure a sp-97 w/ a 92mm panaflo ultra/high could push this past 2600+ stable.

 

[WobbleWobble]

I know my chip will do 2.5GHz, 2.6 I'm not sure if it's my FSB holding me back yet. I'm willing to sacrifice a few MHz in order to run my system quiet. My system is dead silent, but very warm inside too which doesn't help...

There's nothing anal about testing with Prime95 for 12 hours. Letting the system run that overnight is an excellent test of stability. If you can do it you can truly say that you have reached a great overclock that is stable. Most people, however, overclock and then run prime95 for a few minutes and call that "stable." My favorite is when people can't run prime95 without errors overclocked but it works fine at stock speeds--then they say that it's Prime95's fault and point to the other benchmarks they passed ok...
