How long has your Barton been stable

ogboot · Sep 15, 2003

hey guys, just curious.

anybody posted some awesome oc's here only to discover instability down the road? my barton has been oc'd for a couple of months and is fine, but is anyone experiencing more lockups than usual or any lockups at all that they didn't experience before?

Yes, but only if Vcore was kept above 1.8 volts on permanent bases.

There were no reports of highest OC degradation with 1.8 volts and under.

Aristotle-IV · Sep 15, 2003

i heard it was 1.85v.

But does that apply for all bartons or only some.

Some People get lucky just like with anything pertaining to an OC am i right?

On air I kept it at 1.85 but I ran mine at 1.95 volts for months on water and it was stable.

Runnin mine at 1.8 rock steady stable

11x230 11-2-2-2

Hey thunder what ram do you have?

Id really like to know, so i can see if i could try out your fsb and timings.

I have 3200 twinx.

nice 2s thunder
i know it is muy expensive but i am about to get some mushkin3200 i know others have had success but my corsair2700 will not post above 193 (my pci bus is unlocked, but at 200 it reverts back to 33, so 200 is the magic number for me right now)

*Needs to update his sig*

Been running fine at 12 x 187 (2244) for almost a month now mostly playing games. Considering upgradeing the cooling to a SK7 and see if 13 x 187 (2431) is possible.

u doing the wire trick for that multi or is your chip unlocked that high mine only goes to 12.5

FizzledFiend · Sep 15, 2003

yea i have noticed I can only go 12.5 and the other higher numbers default to the lower number in the group like 6.5/13 selection it will tke the 6.5 not the 13..do i have to mess with the L3 bridges like http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?/html/workshop/socketa/tbred_painting.html this recomends?

What's up with certain mobos like nForce2 Epox 8RDA+ where you can select all the multis when you put 1700+ T-Bred B in it, however,
selecting ANY multi above 12.5 with ANY FSB results in a 1100 MHz post.

n3xu5 · Sep 16, 2003

2500+ @2200 on air and very stable, about to receive my w/c setup in the mail cant wait to test the o/c then

Blair2k · Sep 16, 2003

2500+ @ 2300mhz on air, very stable, and happy with my results and still trying to push them higher

ogboot · Sep 16, 2003

with bartons you can take a wire and tie it around 2 of the pins and this jumps the bridge for upper multipliers. sorry i don't have alink but look for it

c627627 · Sep 16, 2003

All this talk about wires... is it to be able to select upper multipliers?

I'm saying there's an 8RDA+ nForce2 where you can select upper multiplers but if you do, the system will only post 1100 MHz.

2500+ running at 2200Mhz, 1.7vcore, a LITTLE unstable - going to up the vcore at some stage...

borg · Sep 16, 2003

barton 1800 at 2200 (11x200) 1.675v core
(haven't tried it on 1.65, 1.625 factory setting was unstable)

Aristotle-IV · Sep 16, 2003

Why would someone want a multi that high?

Your just going to kill the fsb speed.

Mustanley · Sep 16, 2003

My 2500+ has been running for a couple of months at 2500MHz (208x12) like a champ. Just dropped the voltage from 1.825 to 1.80 now that I'm using chilled water and it's rock stable. Gonna back down 1.775 and test some more.

...because PC2100 craps out low 150 FSB if that, and budget systems use free after rebate PC2100 RAM, that is why.
