Question about new locked Athlons

[DMac]

If I understand this right, the multipliers are locked but you can still overclock if you have PC3200? So that means the FSB is still adjustable?

Here is the post I'm looking at from c627627:

Exactly. You raise the fsb (and therefore the memory speed) to 200, which is what your PC3200 is rated for, and you have a 3200. Of course, with the locked bartons (week 40 and later) you can almost certainly get past 2.2ghz.

You probably have a 90% chance of hitting 2.3ghz (11*210), but you're pushing your ram out of spec, so you may need to relax timings and raise the vdimm. What kinda ram and mobo do you have? What's it's rated speed and timings? Read this thread for some great information: http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=187887

It's hitechjb1's massive guide to amd overclocking, it's quite a read but you'll learn a lot.

Also what's your cooling? (put all that info in your sig for future reference)
