Need help OCing my Athlon 3200+ (Barton)

italian78 · 03-27-05, 10:02 PM

I heard of people getting 2.4 ghz, I can only get 2.2, What I am I doing wrong?
I actaully dont have my original ram which is corsiar XMS, I am testing some Ballistix out, Thanks

Spion · 03-27-05, 10:05 PM

you need to add some voltage to get to 2.4GHz, i personally need 1.9v to get to 2.4GHz. maybe read some stickies on OCing for a start. you'll learn alot(if you havn't OCed before that is)

italian78 · 03-27-05, 10:12 PM

yeah I have aoverclocked before, I had the same cpu that you have. Now I got 3200+
And hav not tried to OC that much, just a little, But I need more performance?

italian78 · 03-28-05, 01:05 AM

Right now I am @ 2.30 , I am pretty stable too

I was at 2.37, but was not stable

You can see in pic

freeagent · 03-28-05, 06:53 AM

looks like you need an abit

and you need more vcore, i need 1.875 to roll at 2400

Gabbiani · 03-28-05, 03:21 PM

To bench at 2.6 with my tbred I need massive V. To hit 2.4 though I do need in the area of 1.9V, prob the same for you.

italian78 · 03-28-05, 04:50 PM

Ok I am @ 2.37, But I Aqua Mark keeps crashing? Here is my screen shots of my bios?

NEWROOSTER · 03-28-05, 06:11 PM

a7n8x boards are notorious for that , me and my buddy both had one and neither could get stable above 214/428 on the ram,with 2-2-2-5 3200 memory, i guess a volt mod may work but i just bought an abit nf7s now im running 240/480 on the same memory, and gave my a7n8x to my son

ps2cho · 03-28-05, 06:22 PM

The 3200+ are not the best of CPU's at overclocking, as explained above you will be needing 1.85-1.95v to hit anything special with it. Make sure to burn-in, works for some, does not for others. I just had my experience with my duron and it worked so im happy.
Goodluck.
ps: make sure u got some nice cooling and watch those temps

Since you hit 215, I assume you have a rev 2.0

Trats is your friend if you want more FSB! I can hit 235 with all three boards in my sig.

That means nothing. What week was it assembled? And by the way, what you're doing wrong is trying to achieve 2.4 GHz with a 3200+ on air cooling. It's next to impossible. You should eBay that bad boy and get a mobile 2500+ or 2600+

italian78 · 03-28-05, 11:36 PM

Ok I am @ 218x11=2.40 Wow that is very scary!!! CPU is Its kinda warm to
50 C MoBo is 22 C CPU Diode is 68 C, what is CPU Diode?? I am using Everest?

I will try 11.5 and 208fsb = ~2400mhz now!!!!

crayzboost · 03-28-05, 11:46 PM

hey brian i see your still trying! lol, i told you to go water cooling and i know we could get it done for about 150(cheap) the most expensive things are the block and pump, call me later and check out this thread http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=376533 and tweak mozilla.... later
