What i meant was, the core size is different although its an Athlon XP.

I think its not that expensive either rite ? So its not a waste to test it. Who wanna be the guinea pig ?

i've installed the copper shim on my barton 2500+ cpu. And I can confirmed that it cannot fit smoothly on the CPU. Yes, the copper shim can inserted into the cpu but not perfectly matched.

And when I sandwiched the copper shim between CPU and my thermaltake volcano, the thermal was worsening because the copper shim distanced a bit the core from touching the base lap of the heatsink 

Previously without the copper shim, the load temp was about 52° C (primed for two hours). With the copper shim, the load temp was around 55° C (primed just for 10 minutes) 

I think I need to bring the copper shim to any specialist in metal cutting to modify the hole so that it can fit firmly into the barton CPU.

issit the small 4 cushion at the side making the copper shim cant fit it nicely?

The Incompatability here is the 4 cushions hole size ?

Is it TRue ?

gsan back to NF7 oveclocking world 

got an identical 512mb corsair bh6, so now running 2x512MB bh6 with ocz ddr booster (vdroop mod).

previously used 1T bios, found that 2x512mb bh6 cannot overclock well with timing 2-2-2-11, even with any high vdimm.

flashed to d26-mantarays-xt 2T bios, able to prime 230 @ 2-2-2-11, 3.2v stable. and now priming 240 @ 2-2-2-11. 

wow! tats a nice timing for such fsb.   btw, the 1T bios u r using is oso mantaray xt? ur corsair bh6 is double sided ot single sided?

yes, the bh6 is double sided. mantaray xt 1T gives no more than 210 even i pump it to 3.5v, so i switched to 2T and it can prime stable at 230 for more than 5 hours. but what made me disappointed is nf2 memory controller cannot handle double sided ram as well, prime 240 failed within 3 hours.

p/s: all tested at timing 2-2-2-11.

I think its the memory problem. From what i know, the Air Brand with TCCC chips are relabeled chips. Secondly, mixing ram with different configuration and types do affect the overclocking process.

Mosel Ram Chips

Vitelic 5ns - This is 5ns ram from Mosel. It is commonly found in PC3200 offerings, and at this speed is rated at cas2-3-3-6. This is not bad, but nothing out of the ordinary. It is similar to CH-5 from Winbond. This ram can clock to around 240 MHz and hold decent timings such as cas2.5-3-3-6. If timings are kept at 2-3-2-X, then this ram will typically max out around 220 MHz. This can be found in Corsair XMS3200, Geil Ultra PC3200 and PC3500, OCZ PC3200 and PC3700. This is not a bad choice of ram at all. It offers great overclockability while still holding very respectable timings. Although Mosel is not a well known name in the memory industry, you can see that the top memory manufacturers are using their ram. If you can get these on the used market, they would make a very sweet deal. I have not seen these in Value Ram offerings, but that does not mean they do not exist. Identifying these can be somewhat difficult, as many companies re-label them. Take a look at the ram list to be sure of what modules contain these chips. You can identify these chips by the last 5 characters being SAT5B.

i got 2x256 Corsair BH-5 PC3200 ,any1 interested?i can sell coz din play OC anymore.
can reach 8-2-2-2

it's 256mb oni...if it is 512mb, then maybe someone might want it.
