you got a 0403 wich is a week 3 of 2004 chip. and it is locked and can not be unlocked. sorry

all you can do is up your FSB

[rush69]

hm ok... how hight will i be able to get it...?

[Shroomr]

to many factors determain that one :(

Cooling
Contact
voltage
Ram in your case since you have FSB only
Motherboard

i meant since they are locked do they reach atleast 200? like if i tried to up fsb on my 2400 and its locked id proly get like 160...

i got 2400+ runing 210fsbx11 can this locked 2500 do better ? or even same since atleast i get more cache :)

Once again it depends on what shroomer listed...but on average...most can do 2.2Ghz (11x200)...

Since it is locked, there is nothing you can do to unlock it.

But if you are willing to spend for money, get the DFI mobo, and some PC3500 or PC4000(not sure about this one), and you can up the FSB to 250. Some guys in thr forum manage to do that.

[Kenshiro]

People did ask about why increasing FSB to get higher frequency is better than just increasing the multiplier.

Obviously, the CPU freq is Multiplier times FSB. The FSB is the speed where data is transfered between the CPU and Mobo. That is why you want to increase the FSB to fully utilize the extra speed of your CPU.

well i set it for 11x200 and its been working all morning with no problems... will push tonight for more...

tx everyone

Actually, no it wont work...

Second item that works against us is AMD's new packaging they've begun implementing. It will be near impossible to modify the CPU, and our methods here will almost certainly not work.

:-O i tell ya, you cant even read and get excited anymore...

[rush69]

hehehe..

its ok... i got 200fsb, for some reason this mobo never went pass 210 and 210 is not very stable... so 200 is ok right now

[S9UL]

you got 200??? on 1.8v

Hell, i tried 192 instead of 191 and my computer gets unstable

temps are at 41 average

[rush69]

1.8v is from my old sigil i didnt update it yet...

right now its 11x200 at 1.7v, however its runing stable anymore... it was for a day... it is most stable at 190x11 1.7v.

That Viperlair article is wrong. You can't unlock a Barton using the trick they are showing. Secondly they state a 2500+ at 11.5X166
Wrong again. A 2500+ is 11X166. The 2600+ barton runs 11.5X166

[mrneed]

i have a week #10 barton 2500+ with stock volt on my a7v600 runs great at 200/33 load is 40 idle 31.ive got mushkin cas-2 mem runs in turbo mode its a little hot cause the heat is on.but it runs better than my asus n2 deluxe as far as ocing goes.

[rush69]

thats cool man...
i'd buy another mobo so i can oc more, but since athlon 64 are going down in price slowly ill just get that set up...
