Hey all. I recently decided to upgrade me system from an AMD XP 1800+ Palo core to an AMD XP 2600+ (tbred). The motherboard by default does not support it, I moded the board by unsoldering resistor "C37" as many of you with this board have prob done. She boots up fine, and runs great stock. Here are the specs on the system and what I want to do:
MSI K7t 266 Pro2 v2.0
AMD XP 2600+ (tbred core)
Volcano 11 Xaser Edition with duct mod at full speed
1gig of generic pc2100 ram (512,2x256)
Powmax demon case
650watt psu
(4) Thermaltake A2016 (73cfm 80mm fans) used for intake
(2) Thermaltake A2016 (73cfm 80mm fans) used for exhaust
(1) Thermaltake A2016 (95cfm 120mm fan) blowing exhaust out of the top
As you can see the case has GREAT ventilation, the cpu at idle is running at about 30c and under load i think I got her to 39c. What I am trying to do it OC this cpu as much as I can. I know the ram is going to be my limitation. I went into the bios to mess around and it seems its ALOT diffrent then OC'in my P4 2.4c. Can you guys help me out? Give me some settings for me to try out, i know alot of it is set to auto and the pci overclock is set to H/W. Any ideas, stock obviously is 133fsb. Thanks!
