Overclocking my Rig

I need to figure out a way to get more juice in my Vcore.

I've currently got my Athlon 2500 with a FSB of 220, multiplier's set at 11, Core Voltage is at 2.0, and it's still leaning towards too little juice feeding my processor. Will changing my multiplier fix that? It's pretty damn stable other than having having a leaning towards too little juice. Other than that though, Temp's fine and I'm already getting 2.43 GHz out of it. Would like to decrease my DRam voltage if possible...it's at 2.8 currently, but it's leaning a little towards too high. I'd like to keep my processor's speed where it is if possible, and gain a wee bit more stability.

Pretty good for a first time overclock if you ask me.

Hold up

You other thread said you could not overclock your cpu. It is well known that the multi is locked on the bartons, and you oc by uping the FSB, and tinkering with the vdimm as you go, you can also adjust the timmings on your memory. But you have a 600 mhz overclock, how much more do you need, you are doing very well, but to test your oc stability you must try it in prime95.

I recall telling you about the barton xp2500m when you were in the shopping stage. Also before you throttle the living daylights out of your new cpu, you should give it a week or so to burn in at stock. You must also check your temps, what are they at 2.43gh.

Howdy

Here is the original thread, 2500 mobile info was there.http://forums.techguy.org/showthread.php?threadid=211887&perpage=15&pagenumber=1

It wont really matter if you buy a 2500 mobile, if your ram does not oc well. Stick with what you have got, and do not fret, you will have a decent overclock, the xp2500 should run at xp3200 all on stock volts/stock amd hsf and memory 1:1

After you run it in for a week or so at stock, increase the fsb to 200 [xp3200 speeds]. Then check how stable it is, run some games or do some encoding, if it is ok then creep up a little bit more, if you blue screen or cant get into windows, increase the vcore very slightly. Keep an eye on your temps, I run about 29c/33c, but running in the 40c 45c in ok.
