Sup fellow Pimps!!! Long time no see!

I've been doing a lot of reading about the successes a lot of you are having with the XP 2500+ Barton's, so I picked one up from Newegg the other day to play around with.

So fare this thing is the BOMB!!! As of now it is definitely replacing my XP 2700+.

Since there are so many of you playing with this chip any pointers would be great.

Below is a photo of my O/C specs as of right now. I have a GIG of Corsair XMS 2700, so running my FSB @ 200+ is not going to happen. So in the meantime I'm running the multiplier @ 12.5. ax 177FSB @ 2.214 GHZ.

Again, any pointers would be greatly appresheated.

BTW... how is my RAM timings? is that good? (see photo)

Thanks Again Pimps!!!

what mainboard are you using? if its a NF2 board,you may want to check out THIS
forum and read alil about timings.
it seems that people are etting better performance from running the TRAS at 11.

Yes an A7N8X Deluxe!

BTW this is just a start. I have yet to crash or lock up yet, So I will be pushing the O/C a lot farther... Hopefully!!!

Need to get faster RAM.

EDIT: I thought the lower the TRAS the better. I guess I was wrong. Could use some pointers here If you will.

Thanks All!!!

i might pick one o those up and replace my 2600+ and get some use out of this liquid cooling

Bump!

Need pointers on ram timing. Any help out there?

2-2-2-6

Thanks Feral. uping the TRAS did make for a better ram score on all benchmarks.

?so the higher the TRAS the better?

i have fount that running 2-2-2-11 is giveing me better performance. at least in benchmarks. just an idea for you to try

I had 1 stick of xms 2700 512 in my system for the longest time and i ran it at 200, just up the ram voltage. i run mine maxed out at 2.9v. try that and give it a shot

I just got 2500.

My fsb/pci bus limits me to 172*13.5=2322@1.725...runs like a charm and I am sure that it's got a lot more left. Temp idle cpu=45, mainboard=25...temp under load cpu=48, mainboard=25.

Thanks guys!!! I will try all your suggestions when I get home from work tonight.
