Alrighty I AM the speed freak
I figure because my PC is blowing very cold air from it's fans it could USE some tweaking!

my setup

MSI K7N2 Delta
Athalon XP 2600+ @2.018 (I thought it was sposed to be 2.1something....)
1x512 400mhz

I want to push this thing up! up!! and away!!!
how well of an over clocker is this CPU?
I need unlocking instructions still use a pencil?

and I have a pretty decent copper cored "stock" HSF, I don't think it's an actual stock fan...
but it keeps things SUPER cool...

anyone help me get this thing smokin!? I mean... not really smokin
thanks guys! I wanted to ask the experts here first 4

I made my friend this setup..


Soyo Black Dragon Mobo
Xp2600 2.13Ghz
512 DDR Ram pc3200


I want to OC his machine but without unlocking the cpu... Is it possible?

You can step up the FSB bit by bit and see what you get. But it's already pretty fast w/o unlocking the CPU. Some motherboards, A7N8X and 8RDA+ and others, unlock them for you. GL eGo

how can I step it up if it's locked?
I have an MSI K7N2 Delta, I can go in 1mhz incriments, so the manual says

and does anyone know where I can get info on unlocking this thing?

and yeah I'll agree it's prety fast by itself
but still... I wonder...

thanks!
*edit*
NM, I see now that the FSB goes up and uses the 12.5 locked Multiplier to get my speed
I will keep editing and let you know how this goes!!

1st OC - 2192.47mhz! temp when I was in the bios was 38-44 degrees sitting idle
2nd OC - 2214.85mhz! temp is 43-51 in bios not too bad I guess... I think I'll pick up some Arctic Silver and a better heatsink if I wanna go any more then this

anyone know of a good prog that lets you see the temp???

2.2ghz not too shabby !!


temps from in windows via PC alert 4, came with my mobo

Maybe this page helps with the multiplier unlocking > http://www.amdboard.com/ocspecial.html

demrok,
here's a good utility for temp monitoring and lots of other stuff that i heard about from someone on these boards

oops

hey are aidas temperature monitors accurate?

which one should i use
cpu or cpu diode>?

thanks guys, and Timmy

and I think the Diode is the better temp... isn't it?
I think it gives the more accurate temp because it is RIGHT THERE, where as the CPU is a sensor not actually touching anything

unless I am ass backwards on that one

ok i dont even know whats a good temperature probe anymore

ive used 3 different fans on my heatsink and the temperatures never change
real odd


92mm zalman
80mm coolermaster led fan
another 80 mm fan

all with the same results
+ or - a few degress
