Is this 2500-M good?

Stepping: IQYHA 0408 RPMW

So far it does 2.5ghz at 1.75v, but since my 2700 only did 200mhz, and since my motherboard wont do 13 multi, I cant take it any higher. Anyways, since its hot out, I keep it at 2.4ghz w/1.675v. Do I have a good stepping for OCing though? I sold my ram and old barton for 225$ total, and I guess I have to cough out another 40$ for the RAM i want ( Mushkin 1GB 3200 level 1 pack ), anyways, do you think my cpu can go higher than 2.5?

Yes, you have a very good stepping. You might be able to take it higher, but you didn't list your temps.

If you need access to the higher multipliers, it's a simple pin-mod away:

Thanks, I tried the giocity L12 mod one, that one looks different....i'll try it though, thanks!

Oh, my temps are around 44-45*@2.4ghz w/1.675v ....gotta love summer time = )

Thats the speed/voltage my 2600 sits at nice and stable as well. Its not the best but its in the top percentage. The best ones are 2.4 @ 1.6V.

you temps are a bit too hot, i was getting better with alx800...

i know it's summer and all but check air flow in the case, m/b you could find a way to drop a couple of degrees. seems if you are doing 2.4ghz at 1.675v and 2.5ghz at 1.75v, it's not cpu, it's the temperatures.

i'd say your mobile is very good... just find a way to move some air around it...

I love my mobile...if I could I would lick it. (maybe not)

This is what I've pushed mine to and stable.

hey, real, at what voltage is it?

by the pic it looks to be 1.74

1.75v to the chip.

I have some questions about multipliers.

When people refer to that they can't "do" or "select" 13+ multipliers does that mean the BIOS won't save the higher 13+ multiplier setting or there is no choices on 13 or more multipliers for them?

I'm a little curious because i'm using the same Abit NF7-S (Rev. 2, BIOS 1.9) motherboard as CircuitBreaker8, but in my BIOS options i can see up to 21 multipliers? I dare not to choose higher because i'm still a newbie overclocker and taking my time.

I just overclocked my XP-M 2500+ to (200x11 = 2200 Mhz) @ 1.5v. I think i can choose a lesser vcore than this but i think the NF7-S undervolts a bit?

Another question about multiplier is there mainly used for upping core speed right? Will it also increase temperatures? I noticed when changing multipliers it doesn't have the "Saving your settings ... please do not turn off..." message. Everytime i get that message I'm nervous if a storms hits it will screw up my BIOS. My area has been raining a couple of days...

i have the same stepping and i have been running 10x250 on an alx800 with a 39cfm fan 37c full load 1.625 vcore i think, can't wait till my watercooling comes, hoping for about 2.7ghz

I have the same steppings and I was running it at 2640 (11X240) with some minor issues that still have to be worked out. Its on an Albatron board but I have an NFII Ultra Infinitay that I am about to mod (if I get the ZIF thig straightened out).

It's a great stepping. You have got to hve the momory though. It's got to be BH5/CH5; BH5 > CH5. I'm running CH5's and my FSB cuts out at aroung 250. I can get into Windows, but its not stable.

Right now, I'm running a M2600 as in sig and exercising the FBS. It's looks like it stable at 240 so now its time to up the multipliers.

I can get a 250fsb with mine boots into windows everything runs great but when I run a test on my ram through DOS it errors in 5 sections and I don't want to take it to 3.1v
