How is the RaidMax PS?

I just got mine and pushed the FSB to 400 MHz and seems fine. My multi is 9.5 to keep the CPU at 1.9 GHz for now.

I just wanted to know how high I can safely OC this just as a guide. I'll probably push it to 2.1 GHz first at stock voltage.

c627627 · Oct 14, 2003

Heh, pricewatch lists your RaidMax at $11, qualifying it for membership in the El Cheapo club.

Power Supply Unit can take out all your other components.
Many PSU manufacturers list specs that do not reflect true capabilities of their products so all info on the PSU label doesn't mean much except for the brand, just look for the brand: All Antecs (Channel Well) are good (Antec True Power is better), Fortron (Sparkle), Sirtec (Enlight, Vantec, Thermaltake), or more expensive Herolchi (Heroichi), PC Power and Cooling, or not as good but not dangerous HEC, TTGI, Zalman (Aopen).

I just got a new Barton stepping (at least it isn't on the list), no overclock info yet as I still need a few more parts.

AXQFA 0335 SPMW

I just bought a 2500+ with the same stepping, AQXFA 0335 SPMW

New stepping?

I have a 2800+ that has a stepping I haven't seen around before:

AXDA2800KV4D
AGXCA 0311 UPEW

Haven't had the occasion yet to OC it since my Thermaltake Aquarius II is a joke. Its running higher temps than my Volcano 11+ was. I wonder how high it could go?

Your sig says AQZFA, is that a mistake?

I also have a AQZFA which is 0336TPMW. When can the list be updated?

Wheelspinner · Oct 24, 2003

OOPS!

Erm no, the one in my sig is what I have.

I think my brain was underclocked that day

Maximus Nickus · Oct 24, 2003

Thanks Guys - updated it! I'm not sure on the order of Steppings as to Overclock atm though.

Sorry I have not replied to the last few PM's, my box got emptied! So Thanks to all who Pm'ed me!

yes

The amd faq needs a link added under the Barton section to this thread...

"Some Barton revision codes dated after 0339 and ALL of them dated 0343 or later are factory locked."

Hmm... Just got a axixb from newegg.. its a 2000+ dut3c.

barton2500 · Dec 8, 2003

Is the new AthlonXP 2400 a Barton core, or are the Thoroughbreds being locked?

c627627 · Dec 8, 2003

Althought there is a 2400+ Barton core chip for notebooks, there will not be an official desktop 2400+ Barton chip. All 2400+ desktop chips are Thoroughbred B's and Thortons. http://www.c627627.com/AMD/AthlonXP/

There are some 2003 week 39, 40 and 41 T-Breds reported locked yes:

"All XP2000+ and lower rated tbred cpus will be unlocked from the factory, allowing multipliers 5-12.5 to be adjusted in the bios of ANY MOTHERBOARD that support the processor and have multiplier selection."

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, and it's not a real big deal, but for complete accuracy:

I have an Epox 8rda+ rev.2 (see sig). Although the 10 and 10.5 multipliers are selectable in the bios, I get an overclocking error no matter what fsb and voltage I'm at. This is with the 1700 listed in the sig. I have seen several other posts regarding the same problem. It's obviously the mobo, but I haven't found a fix anywhere.

Just thought I'd through that in, you know, in the interest of completeness

Hmm.. my a7n8x in the bios, for like 8/9/10, there is like 15/16/17 beside it... does it default to the lower one because its unlocked? I cant get it to post at one of those multis.. this is the first mobo I've had with multi control >_<

c627627 · Dec 9, 2003

I believe Asus can only post all multis on 2100+ and up.
For 2000+ and all CPUs with lower range multipliers (that's 12.5 and lower) you need a wire trick. I believe Abit & Soltek are the only nForce2 mobos capable of posting all multipliers on all unlocked CPUs without any wire tricks or mods...

Hello all,

I keep re-reading this stepping on the Barton I just received from Newegg. I haven't seen it anywhere else:

IQYFA 0350 SPBW

I just haven't seen one that starts with 'I' before. Clearly very recent and very locked. I'll be interested in a few days when the Abit board arrives to see how it does.
