good overclocking XP?

ok, im building a new computer very soon, and i have never over clocked before so im looking for a cheap AMD XP processor that overclocks pretty well and easily, what do u guys recommend???

 

What are the benefits of overclocking?
How do you do it?
And what are the downsides?

I haven't heard of overclocking until a couple days ago. Must be something I missed or never read about.

 

OCing *drool*

Here I had the exact same chip running at 400FSB at 2.3 GHz till i got my mobile barton .....sweat chip..........The benefits of OCing you say ?????
Befor here and oc to the same speed as ( if not faster then ) ... this .....

 

ya........ so which one should i get????? anyone???

cheap
good
easy

 

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80156 cant beat for the price if you ganna OC it......I ran mine at 2.3 GHz with a 400MHz FSB and i hit over 2.6 GHZ with a 333MHz FSB..


ok how do you do it ? http://www.hytekcomputer.com/Articles/Overclocking101/1.shtml


What are the down sides ?? Theoretically shorter CPU life (but i dont think any one has proven it).....and heat ya gatta have good cooling .......

 

amd2400

 

ive had no problems with my amd 2000xp with barton core. its overclocked to a point where its now a barton 2500 xp.

 

I dont like the way my 2400+ overclocks. I have it at a 2600+ but thats the best i can i get it to.

I would do what ACE says, he knows what he is talking about and i have read that that processor does overclock very well!

Also dont forget the cooling! Got to have good Cooling.



cooked

 

i believe there is no substitute for cooling than a good air conditioner ... assuming you can deal with 60 degree temp inside your room that is ... i run my cely(which ok doesn't run very hot to begin with) at like 75 that's cold, for a CPU i think, when my A/C is on full blast i think i have more to worry about it freezing ... (temp in fahrenheit i can't deal with celsius)

 

Actually, you have to worry about water condensing on the motherboard and shorting out the PSU and wrecking your system. That is, if the A/C is pointed directly into the system.

 

well ... it's only the wall ... about five feet away ... it's not pointed at the PC i just like it to be cold in my room ... but yea ... i didn;t think of that ... but it's not very humid in my room ... ill hafta keep watch

 

ok, ACE, that is insane, how hot does it run? what kind of cooling do u have??? and this is my first time overclocking so i dont really wanna over do it, and im not the smartest person so i dont want to risk anything, so i was thinking about just getting a little higher one, and overclocking it a little bit, so ya, which one should i get?

does the 3000 overclock good or ever at all???

what about 2500 2600 2700 2800??? are those good?

i dont mind paying a little extra, and like i said im hoping for this to be kinda easy, and i dont wanna push it, what kind of cooling do u recommend? what do u have?

 

if you are looking for some OC fun, then go with a Mobile chip...
I have a 2500+ and a 2600+ mobile... very nice indeed

make sure you have a board that is up to it.. I LOVE my DFI Lanparty board, but the Abit is good too....

 

ok, im currently looking at getting this mother board:

ASUS "A7N8X-E Deluxe" nForce2 Ultra 400 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket A CPU

pretty good one ive heard, so if i used that, which processor should i get? im thinking like 2500 or higher, and also what kind of cooling?

thanx

 

Thare all more less the same die so get the 1800+ if its cheaper .... And exeter_acres is right mobile CPUs OC vary well ( thay tend to run cooler too ) I have this im running it at 2.6 with a 450 MHz FSB and it never brakes 120F. I know it has more head room but iv been to busy to mess with it laitly but now that my internet was shut off i have some time to play ( im at the library and somone wahts this computer .... .....

 

Ive got msi board and 2600+ t-bred. I cant access any of the voltage settins in bios. How can I overclock?

 

I Got An Asus A7n8x-deluxe With A Amd Xp 2500+@3200+(had It To 2.51 Mhz,but The Ram Wasn't Up To It)this Was The First Time I Oc'd Any Pc.it Was Easy And Safe,cause The Asus Mb Has Safe Guards For Oc'ing With Their Boards,matter Of Fact I'm Getting Another 1 For My Wifes Pc.i Hope This Helps Ya Out.good Luck!
