Clocking to true speed (athlon XP 2600+)

Cookieboro · 07-28-2004, 06:30 PM

I have upgraded all my computer components and i now have the setup as below (sig) but i can not run my cpu at its true speed. Anything above gives me a warning message about some dram settings have to be set higher than 333. Anyone help??

Do you have a Tbred (266) or a Barton (333)? If you just bought a "XP2600" odds are they sold you a TBred.

To check grab something like CPUz (http://www.cpuid.com) and check under the codename box

What's your multiplier and clock speed? The multiplier should be 11.5x or something like that and the clock speed 166Mhz for a net speed of 1.9Ghz ... so which one is off?

Well the multiplier is set to 12.5 and the vcore is on auto and reads as 1.650v

Just out of curiousity have you tried "Load optimal settings" in bios?

Cookieboro · 07-29-2004, 05:31 PM

Erm.... nop. someone told me to update my bios? could this work?

**Praetor** · 07-29-2004, 05:49 PM

Ok so the multiplier is 12.5 ...what's the clock speed?
