2200+ at 333fsb,nead some real input guys!

ok. i got my 2200+ unlocked today. i am using the 5/1 divider on my shuttle ak35gt2 to run at 333mhz fsb 166x2. but just to get the chip to run at stock speeds of 1.8ghz i have to up the v-core to 1.8. i know the chip is running at a higher bandwidth sisoft sandra benches 2657 mb/s witch is corecct for my samsung pc2700. i can run at regular 266mhz fsb and get 1906mhz at 141x13.5 on the chip ,and only have to use a v-core of 1.72 but running the fsb at 266 it chockes the ram down to pc2100 speeds 2056 mb/s. any way, i want to run the higher fsb of 333mhz are there any other bridges i can unlock to help the chip run at lower v-core? or does any body have any expieriance running the 333mhz fsb that can give a little insight?

come on guys! 24 hours and not one post? well does any one have any insight at all conserning the athlon chips at 333mhz fsb? i know that the 2700+ and 2800+ will be made from the factory to run stock on the 333 fsb 166x2 , for the kt333 and kt400 chipsets.

"1906mhz"

TBH im not surprised you have to up the voltage. Although the TB run at slightly lower default voltage than the PAL, but if u start OC'ing it, its gonna want more juice.

what are your temps at 1.8 Vcore? if your temps are OK, i don't see any reason that you would want to sacrifice performance to run at 1.72
a 1.8 Vcore is fine, no reason to cut off an arm trying to get that down

"are there any other bridges i can unlock to help the chip run at lower v-core"

If u want to get to 166FSB....its gonna want more...

If ur referring to getting the Multiplier down so u cna get to 166, thats a different matter altogether, but i shouldnt see any issues...

Try running at 11.5 multiplier, should give 166FSB and about the same clockspeed, bump up the voltage to 1.80, maybe higher if unstable (stay below 1.90), but try to keep the LOAD temperature below 50c

i can get 11 x 166 (333mhz fsb) at 1826mhz wth a v-core of 1.8 the temps are around 113 f without a load and 116 f under load.
memory bandwidth around 2659mb/s.

on stock mutiplier 13.5 x141 (266mhz fsb) i can get 1906mhz with a v-core of 1.72 and the temps at 102 f without load and 106 with a load. memory bandwidth around 2114mb/s.


should i stay with the 333mhz fsb or the 266 fsb?

333 definately, as a whole, the system will benifit greatly from the extra bandwidth. Everything will be faster at 333, well, apart from a strcitly CPU bound test, but they dont matter. Games, applications, all will be better at 333

thanks ! if any one else has some input on 333mhz fsb please feal free to post it here!
