overclocking problem with AMD XP2400+

ndnchico · 07-12-2004, 05:59 AM

I tried overclocking my AMD XP240+ processor from 133mhz fsb to 166mhz. MY computer wouldnt boot up then. I changed it back to 133 by shorting the jumpers, but would anyone know how I can make my fsm 166mhz and still have my computer working?

Its not guaranteed that you can OC to 166. Seems like you'll definitely have to up the voltages a bit though

sorry, when I said that my computer wouldnt boot up, I meant that it turns on, but nothing after that. My moniter remains in power saving, my mouse and keyboard are off. I have heard of people oveclocking this cpu in the same way that I am trying. I know of someone that overclocked the fsb to 166 and changed the multiplier to 14. I can see where to change the fsb to 166mhz in the bios, but I don't know how to change the multiplier to 14. I don't see an option for multiplier in my bios. Is there a different name for it?
Here is a picture of what that person's cpu look like after overclocking:

are the same thing.... you've most likely OCd too far

Yes well it's a very "personal" (i.e., individual parts) specific ... you and your buddy can have identical components yet he can OC by 250MHz and you only by 60Mhz.

SOunds like your mobo isnt so OC friendly

The key principle of OCing: just because your buddy got a certain amount of OC doesnt mean you will too.

What Mobo do u have? Its prolly a VIA chipset,hah....that would explain alot...let us know......

Of course it could be a SiS....

I have a MSI K7N2- DELTA- ILSR motherboard. Im not sure about the specifications of it though.

http://www.computerforum.com/showthr...=5631#post5631 and more specifically http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p...7N2_Delta-ILSR outline the specs. Your board makes use of the NF2Ultra chipset

The board should be OC friendly (since MSI designs it's products pretty much to mirror ASUS). The board is a very aggressive one (possibly more so than the A7N series) however with this aggressiveness comes a degree of pickness: if you want to OC you're gonna need very stable/strong memory to go with it
