I wanted higher.

Ocing sucks like that.

I lowered my CAS down to 3 and uped the FSB to 165, to see if the CPU can handle it.

About to stress test it. The only thing, can't you corrupt HDs if you set the FSB too high?

How would I know if it was too high?

when you boot up, you may suddenly find that one of your registry hives is "corrupt", and magically uncorrupts when you lower the fsb. in addition, startup programs may run unusually slow with lots of disk access and then numerous files cannot be found. i had to go through this but it only did permanent damage once in which case i needed to boot a cd and copy a replacement registry file.

If you got your divider locked you should be fine.
I've seen people running their FBS beyond 300 and maintained their data.

And yes it does suck like that. All we can do is take what we get.

Cool.

I'll tell you, this little CPU is pretty OCable.

1600+ @ 2100+. Stock 266MHz FSB @ 330FSB. I would put the jumpers to 333 and OC higher but I'm not so sure my stick of PC2100 would like that very much...

[edit]Can't lock it. Whatever I set the FSB to is what it gets.

Alright, the jumper is set to 266 and I have it set to 330 in the BIOS. Do you think it would be smarter to set the jumper to 333?

Sweet see what she's got.
I did better with the jumper@266 on my 2500.

But if I set the jumped to 333 then I'd be getting the same OC with the HD/AGP/PCI back at stock, wouldn't I?

Hmm.

Once in a while a dude gets cheap stuff and it ends up good.

I'm one of those dudes.

I have one stick of Ultra PC2100 cheapo RAM and a stick of PC2700 Corsair Value RAM.

I have an Athlon 1600+ Thoroughbred @266MHz FSB.

I have a mother board in which I can't change voltages, or multipliers, just the FSB.

A picture is worth a thousand words.



Stable.

The question is, what do I put it at in my sig? A 2400+ of the same core is 2GHz but only 266MHz FSB, while mine is 362.

The barton 2600+ is 333MHz and 1.9GHz but that's a different core., with twice as much cache.

?

uh, double postage...

[edit]Let's put this double post to good use.

I'm stuck at 1.9GHz.

My mobo doesn'tlet me change the voltage, so I'll have to do with what it gives me.

I ran memtest a few times at 190MHz FSB and it was fine, but whenever I tried to launch windows it would just restart, figure the CPU needs mroe juice.

That's okay, I'm above 2200+ speeds.

That's a great OC.
Looks like you figured out the sig part.
