bt-d43 can do up to 250mhz easily with 2.8vcore 2.5-4-4-11

*vdimm sorry typo

Unluckily I had my Tt psu and SP-97 hs sold... if not I might give my 2800+ a last run. Now only using chapalang psu and Aero 7+ heatsink with Vantec UV fan.

any prime screenie? showing your temp at full load will be quite interesting also

DFI NFII Infinity

my previous desktop barton was an unlocked DTR, stepping AQYHA 0332MPMW. everything else was the same.

those that can do memtest stable at high fsb but cannot play games or run 3dmark, i suggest that u guys increase the chipset voltage and agp voltage.

it's more than just upping the fsb

u need to pay attention on:
voltage : normal desktop barton chips needs higher voltage to get it overclocked compare to mobile barton chips
temperature : eventhough you already put high voltage, a high temperature will hinder the speed. safe to say that heat prevents further overclocking
ram : ram can be a limiting factor. if u r using sucky rams, make sure they're on dividers. a few mhz overclock is usually okay if you want to run it synchronous with the fsb
motherboard capability : make sure your mobo can lock the AGP speed


evertything else... just read the friggin' sticky topic over fundementals of overclocking on top of this section

Mods, how about considering merge this topic with the above topic?

what are u talking about?

saying without thinking of course...

i think your processor is losing its overclocking efficiency already since u run it at 1.9V 24/7

or..... it might be your psu also.....

somebody mentioned before that silver based compound is not recommended to use on chipset.

why don't u try ceramique based compound instead?

i just use thin layer of AS5 with stock heatsink also.... but i didn't really realized about the differences of temperature before and after AS5 was used.

to make it simple... i didn't really bother to check the temperature

sounds like it's more to PSU problem
