AMD x2 5200+, what next?

d16man · 19-February-07, 06:39 PM

I installed this processor on the build I did a month ago...its normally 2.6, and I have it oc'ed to 2.925 with 13 as the multiplier. My mem (Corsair DDR2 800 is running at 417mhz per channel)..If I wanted to oc this to say, 3.2, is there anything that I should do other than up the voltage on the CPU? I have it set at 1.37 right now...the system is idle at 27 C and 100% is 42C, all air cooled.

You may have to adjust the cpu:memory ratio, the memory latencies and/or the HTT multiplier :-)

I have the mem at 5-5-5-12 right now, at 1.9v....that is what corsair recommends for that memory. I may try to push the cpu to 3.1 and see what happens..I do like having it running pretty cool at idle.

How do you you guys do all those adjustments? How do you overclock?

There's some awesome threads for OCing in our forums:

by the time i finished searching for these threads, im guessing $SOLID$ already posted....lol

Nope..I read this thread, but did not have time to make a "Good" reply...will have to check back in tommorow.

I will say this for now, to get to 3.2 and beyond, typically you need to ncrease voltages across the "Board" (lol)

CPU voltage of course..as long as load temps are kept under 50c, your safe here, I have used over 1.5v+ on my E6600 at over 4GHZ with "Chillled air cooling for bench testing.

Your NB voltage will need to be raised, usually you can go 1 or 2 notches above stock here without issue.

Your ram voltage may also need to be raised, or you can use a ram divider and leave it as is.

there may be other voltages to tweek, it just depends on your motherboard model.

lol, if his info is recent in any way, hes sitting on a nice system for OCing

CPU:
AMD Athlon Barton 2800

Motherboard:
ABIT NF7-S

Video Card:
BFG Tech GeForce 5700 XT OC

i doubt it, but it could happen, if not, still got any of thathardware, id be interested in buying that card

I have an epox mf570 sli mobo....it is extremly easy to oc...the bios is one of the best I have seen as far as laying everything out...even the book that came with the mobo has some instructions in it about oc'ing..

Also I have Corsair XMS PC3200 512 ram... That Vid card is long gone! Sitting on a BFGTech 6800 OC GT.

So, Basically I can OC with stock cooling?
