XP-m 2400+ pathetic overclock!!!!!

EZ Tutty · Jun 30, 2004

I had a Normal Desktop 2500+ which i managed to clock to 2.28Ghz @ 1.85v

I grabbed a Mobile 2400+ (expecting 2.4Ghz or something like) and at 1.85v only managed 2.29Ghz i tried the L12 mod for the hell of it and it made no difference.

Why can i only pull an extra 10mhz ?

I've seen ppl with 2.5Ghz on 1.75v i can't even get 2.4Ghz on 1.95v :temper:

i have a Abit NF7-S, Geil PC3500 Goldern Dragon Memory, Thermalright SLK-900U + Antec 92mm Fan, southbridge heatsink, uprated northbridge cooling, mosfet cooling and of course a XP-m 2400+, surely my rig should be a lean mean overclocking machine!

Please suggest away, and if u need anymore info just ask.

Thanks

well I know that the default FSB of moble xp cpu's is 133
your mem default FSB is 217,, and for your system to be more stable set your
mem default FSB to 133, that way you'll be running 1:1 ratio.. so when you up the cpu's FSB your mem FSB will increase with it keeping a 1:1 ratio..
but this is just a sugestion to help with your OC.. It wont hurt to try it out...

peace,

Try loosening up your RAM timings also. After I did that today, I was able to get 2.5ghz out of my 2600-m

EZ Tutty · Jun 30, 2004

i've tried loose ram timings, and i've tried running the CPU at low FSB but high multi, also i've dun an L12 mod that should combat the low FSB problem

no suggestions then, looks like i got stuck with a crap chip

cujo · Jul 3, 2004

if you can do stock at 133x(13.5 stock multi?) at default volts (assuming 1.45) then your chip is just fine.

listing the stepping might help us give you more info.
