Ye Olde 2100+

What is the ceiling for a 2100+?

I can run occasionally at 2.4 (200x12) with mine, but at like 2.22V core. Every once and a while it will not like to post that fast, but once its up it is stable for as long as I want.

Anyways, I was wondering what most get with a 2100+. I had heard that some have problems booting over xxxx mhz, but I cant remember what that number was.

Im basically wondering if I shoudl try pushing it more...

Thx!

wow

2.2V core. It will not last long unless you have massive cooling.

At that VCore, you better be thinking about watercooling! That alone might not do the trick. I think if it takes that much voltage, you better upgrade to a 2500 barton, because that CPU is going to be in the grave soon.........

Really? It just seemed to get hotter. So if i run it like that for too long supposedly it will die?

My cooling is a SLK800 (good HS) and SmartCase Fan II (75+ cfm), but I like quiet, so I don't usually have any case fans on.

What is the best Socket A cpu for high fsb? The 2100 is only rated at 133mhz, and I have ram that can do 250. Is the 2500 a good overclocker?

Grab a mobile barton, they're all the rage atm.

I don't know how the A64 Mobiles are performing, but that's because I'm out of the know

I don't think socket a cpu's are more or less capable of different fsb's. What it is rated at has no affect whatsoever. An investment into a mobile barton won't get you any noticeable gain, you are talking $70-100 wasted. Put up the fsb and down the multiplier.

2100+... Is that a palamino??

500TH POST! YAY!

my moneys on a tbred b dut3c, like mine. i got mine under h2o and it does 2.5/ 2.1v prime stable.it can do 2.6 in benches but is far from stable ad i dont wanna up the vcore any more that 2.1v

Ha. My Tbred B turned out to be a dud.

I just got a Mobile 2400+ 35w from newegg and as soon as I get all my watercooling parts you will see a post on that.

My 2100+ does 2.3GHz at 1.9v
and 2.42GHz at 2.06v
I can run some benchmarks at 2.5GHz but it is not stable at even 2.1v and this is getting rather high voltage as me temps are over 50C. I like to keep them under 50C so i useually run at 2.3GHz at 1.9v

2100+ come as pallies or t-breds. I would think if he's getting 2.4 ghz it must be a tbred b, since I can't get 1.8 ghz out of my pally.

I'd be curious to hear which it is though.

Captain Newbie · May 30, 2004

I'd wager T-bred B. That's a nice overclock...but it's also too much voltage unless you have water cooling. You might have a failure within one year.
