Well, after having my rig built for a few months now. I finally decided I should go ahead and just do it.....

I'm running the 2600 Barton, on an Abit NF7-S m/b., with a SLK-947-U H/S and 92mm fan.

I started off slow and as my nerve built up, i just did it.... the multiplier is locked so I went to 200 /1.7v, and I ended up with 2.305...... it seems to be running stable now for a few hours.. cpu temp is riding at 47c while playing DAoC....

my aquamark score came in around 38,000 +/-....... and 3dmark was 5368.

This is my first run at all this so I'msure I'm forgetting something here... I used ATITOOL to OC my Sapphire 9800pro.... seetings are 366/303 right now... I am considering doing the hard mod to open all 16 pipes, it's a rather simply mod, and I'm starting to get the itch for all this....

in my bios, i have a setting called CPU FSB/DRAM ratio.... which can be set to auto or a variation from 6/6 to 3/3 or by spd...... I tried playing around with that setting but ended up haveing to clear my bios in order to get going again.... dooh... it is showing a setting of 400Mhz........ anyone clear this up for me?

can anyone comment on my results, are they god/bad, par/average/above........ any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is your 3dmark scores with the newer or older one? If the older one 5,xxx seems preety low for a 2600 mine will get 10,000+. If new version thats not too bad, still a little low. Mine did around 5000 also

Im running the same processor but havent tried to tweak it that far. Have you tried folding@home and let it run for a couple days to see how stable it is? I would be curious to see how stable it is. I can turn my fsb up to 327 but I know that would render this thing unbootable. KT880 DRAGON 2 mobo. The only problem I have is that when I raise my fsb, my agp/pci bus speed also increases. There is a divider for it but can get a default setting for them when I raise my fsb. So basicly my agp and pci are underclocked right now.
