Try Changing ur Heatsink to something else

I saw quite a few selections available in GARAGE SALES for SOCKET A processors.

Maybe ur heatsink is not able to dissipate the heat generated from the overclocked processor

GOOD LUCK .

WAIT!!!

A Barthon Xp CAN BE U{NLOCKED???



how??

i have a barthon XP 2500+ for 2 years ++ dunno hwo to unlock.. last time people sya cannot

Interesting..i knew Bartons have high oc'ing abilities but not as far as i've seen until i saw this thread. Time for me to OC my Barton 2500 soon.

First screenshot .

apply AS5 will help cooldown by how many precent?
anyone?

Maybe 2-3 degrees? Negligible for me, since my rig is an AMD Barton 2500 with a Coolermaster Aero7+. Unoverclocked.

it depends on the stepping (week n year) i forgot about this but barton that produce from week,year until week,year, then it is unlocked... else is locked..!!

but if do modding on your proc (apply circuit liquid), then it would be special case

this article can help u understand better

Quote:

"The general rule of thumb is that week 34 (of 2003, of course) and earlier CPUs are unlocked. There are a few CPUs between week 35 and 38 (inclusive) that are locked, but the vast majority are locked. Week 39 and 40 CPUs are mostly locked, though there are many unlocked ones. For CPUs dated week 41 and later, there have only been one or two reports of unlocked week 42 CPUs. All other CPUs have been locked. There are a few chips floating around out there, even 2004 ones, that are partially or fully unlocked. For example, some of the multiplier lines will be unlocked, but some will be locked, giving access to a subset to the full multiplier range. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to these chips so they're probably just "manufacturing defects" that didn't lock themselves properly (which is also why AMD is probably still cutting the bridges on the chips)."

"Of course, this only applies to non-mobile CPUs. All mobile CPUs (Barton and otherwise) are currently multiplier unlocked. To get the week number, look at the three lines of code on top of the CPU. The line you want is the one that looks like "AQZFA0342WPAW". So 5 letters, 4 digits, then 4 more letters. The 03 corresponds to the year (2003) and the 42 corresponds to the week (week 42)."

yeah.. thanx for da useful link
sumtime miss the socket A era

Planning to OC my Barton, i have two HSFs available.

CoolerMaster Dream 3
CoolerMaster Aero 7+

Which would be better? I don't close my casing.

har 2-3C only....
so little
better dun waste RM35 for AS5...

yo~~senpai! i wanna OC my rig. but my mobo isnt fully overclockable, cannot lock the pci/agp clock frequency. can anyone gimme instructions to boost my rig to its limit?? currently using ICUTE 450W, 2 80mm chapalang exhaust fans. cpu using stock HSF, vga oso stock HSF. the signature describes my casing contents.

cpu stock hsf is not enough bro
better change it

yea,i plan to get one.but when i know my agp/pci cannot be locked,i gave up on overclocking. is it possible for me to lock agp/pci clock frequency? plan to get one thermalright si-97a as hsf

get one TR-si 97..served me well till now axp2500(locked)@2.4ghz

i'm using XDREAM3 now
terrible
after OC 2500+ @ 3200+
temp going 79C full load 63 idle

@@" wow... 63c @ idle quite high edi..
ur pc didnt restart at 79c on full load?

i'm using Si-97 currently with 2500+ (w/o OC)
idle temp 37c and full load (plying game) 42c

hi everyone..im newbie here...think of goin for OC of my socket A...juz wanna know if my rig is oc able or not?

AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (stock setting)
MSI K7N2 Delta2 Motherboard (nforce2 chipset)
Kingston PC2700 512 MB DDR

hai.. im just buying new HSF (look at my signature) . well, theres no problem running @ 2.4Ghz.. But wil try using SP2004.. Hope can O/C bit more higher

mind to post your idle and load temp? TQ
