Overclock AMD Athlon Xp 2800+
Hey, how much do you think I could overclock my athlon xp 2800+ with stock cooling, mi psu i've got now, my current RAM, and, case without any fans. And how much with this psu: http://www.thermaltake.com/purepower/W001011.htm this CPU FAN: http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/venus/rs/a1838.htm and this case: http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/vm3000/vm3000a.htm . OK, thanks for your help :P.
man, with that new stuff you have listed there you could hit speeds over 3200+
my brother has a 2800+ oc'd to 3200+ with that silent boost HSF and he runs at mid 30's idle (room/case temp high 20's). your ram is fine, as it is pc3200 and will run 1:1. so, looks like youre building a nice new setup

AMD Athlon XP 2800 (Barton Core) will not post at FSB 166 MHz.
Per top of the board “stickys” I have read a great number of the post on this board and done my homework to provide as much technical info to help you help me. This should explain some of it’s lengthy nature.
Aside from Memory, HDD and Video card every thing else has been unplugged from board and power or stripped out of slots to isolate the problem.

BIOS I have tried: The original; Ver:10A, ran fine on Athlon XP 1600 (1400 MP) 3 years.
• Then with MSI Live Update 3: Installed v. 1c which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz (MSI:” Fixes system reports incorrect message for AMD 3200+ CPU.
- Supports Sempron L2 512K 3000+ CPU.)
However, v. 1.c did not work and would not post at all with the newly installed Barton AMD-XP 2800. [frankly this attempt was months ago and I do not remember whether it would post at the slower 100 and 133 FSB speeds, and also to muddle my memory further I was upgrading an A7N8X-D with a Barton XP 3000 and having similar problems on the ASUS,,, which is now running fine at full potential. ; - p
• Then I selected and flashed A6712 V 1.7 122602, boots and runs Win.XP-sp2 at FSB 100MHz & 133MHZ. (MSI:” Supports AMD Barton XP2800+ (FSB333) CPU
-Fixes system sometimes will have IDE CRC error -Fixes D-bracket2+USB keyboard, cannot use keyboard on DOS mode.)” which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz.
I checked with the Tech. at the local shop where I purchased the KT4V MoBo. He suggested I try a different BIOS but he didn’t specify which one. He is a personal friend and admits to some bad luck and dead boards due to flashing bios so reluctant to mess with it.
• Now running: A6712vms.1B0 – MSI hid this BIOS V. found here:
• http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=362&kind=1
• On a different page than the 2 versions mentioned above. http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp
• No wonder people are frustrated and confused about different MoBo versions there ID #’s and the BIOS versions them selves as seen on this news board. MSI’s fault, no fault of anyone here trying to help.
A6712vms.1B0
Runs fine at FSB 100 (shows as XP 1250+) and FSB 133 (shows as XP 2200+) Booting to Win. XP-sp2 on CMOS, default setup other than minor tweaks to accommodate MSI Ti 4200 AGP 8X 125mb graphics card or Gilmond PCI card. But which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz .
No post at FSB 166 mhz (once, it did flash a post screen stating AMD Athlon XP 2800 for about 2 sec. before going blank) Manual power down. Just now I rebooted with FSB 166, and again saw the AMD Athlon XP 2800 at top of the post screen as I hit pause break,,,, then the machine power crashed to Off. Once it even loaded Win.XP-sp2 but crashed to power off with in 2 min.
I must have booted this beast a dozen times or more after Clear CMOS jumper each time it went to blank screen with mach. still running. Start over; set Default settings and work up with FSB 100, 133, each time to read what POST says and see if it will boot to O/S.
Btw: I have looked for clear evidence through the not so specific descriptions MSI uses to separate these board model #s and may be part of my current problem with correct board ID = correct BIOS ID.
Found here:
[VIA] unofficial FAQ for KT4 series motherboards
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=6090.0
Eg: - KT4 Ultra (MS-6590), 6-channel hardware audio codec
• KT4 Ultra (Pure Version)
• KT4 Ultra-B (Bluetooth ready)
• KT4 Ultra-BSR (Bluetooth ready + Serial ATA RAID)
• KT4 Ultra-FISR (Bluetooth ready, Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
- KT4V (MS-6712), 6-channel software audio codec
• KT4V-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
- KT4M (MS-6596) micro-ATX board
• KT4M-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
- KT4A Ultra, (MS-6590) NEW!! based on KT400A chipset
• KT4A Ultra (Standard Version)
• KT4A Ultra-SR (Serial ATA RAID)
• KT4A Ultra-FISR (Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
And a very similar version of this on Official MSI site. Both seem to try and make a difference between modles with on board Lan, and Blue Tooth ready.
Take a look at my original box sticker:
*As seen on face of MoBo: KT4V MS-6712 Ver:10A
*The Original Box bar code label: KT4V-L (601-6712-050)
K7, KT400. 5.1 chnl. S/W Audio, LAN, D-Bracket 2.
Yup, it says all this on the sticker and the in the manual and verified on the MoBo. So I can only guess at all parts of the puzzle as they gave them to me which lead me to the afore mention BIOS versions I ran, or am running. The sticker points to nearly half of the boards above except for the MS-6712 and the Ver:10a which is what I based my BIOS choices on. If someone knows differently and can lead me to official Nfo with a better answer I’m all ears.
Just saw this: Latest Official BIOS : KT4 MS-6590 (1.4), KT4V MS-6712 (1.8 ) , KT4M MS-6596 (1.1)>>Here: [VIA] unofficial FAQ for KT4 series motherboards
« on: 24 October 02, 05:14:04 » But these links and all but one link in this ‘sticky’ are broken .

I don’t want to boar you with the details.
Yes, and the above have been upgraded w/new chips GFX cards and BIOS,,, NP.
Cut to sound track: Down on the BIOS again,,, wasn’t that Creedance Clear Water Revival?
Any suggestions or insights are much appreciated.Welcome, and thank you for a thorough input! Hope I don't miss something you already said!
Quick version: Try setting processor voltage to 1,5 volt.
Long version:
Posting at wrong FSB can be put down to two things:
1 The processor isn't what you thought it is, but I think you eliminated that.
2 The system cannot run the processor at the correct speed. Mainly this has to with overheating, and/or that memory and processor cannot cooperate. This must be it, as you noticed the processor is correctly recognised.
You have little connected right? Then the best thing would be to pull power cable out. Take the motherboard and redo the seating of the processor, this is much better done with motherboard taken out.
At the same time, I suggest you clear CMOS. Should always be done when changing processor, and I've noticed on the Internet there are a few 1,5V XP2800 around.

Overclock AMD Athlon II X2 250 on MSI 760GM-P21 (FX)
I want to overclock AMD Athlon II X2 250 on motherboard MSI 760GM-P21 (FX), integrated video card from motherboard and MS-TECH VERTIGO 520W 80+ power supply.
But before buy this power supply I had a NoName 400w.
And when I oc on NoName PSU after 3,3 ghz I receive BSOD.
How to oc more than 3,3 ?
Ty.The CPU itself would work just fine up till the current draw exceeds the limit of CPU VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) and fry it. Even tho it's listed as supported don't use CPU over 95W and even then under heavy loads for longer periods of time a 95W CPU could possibly cause damage also. If using a 95W don't OC it any. The VRM on the 760GM was never intended for 125W CPU.
The only reason the 125W CPU is listed is because competing brands show support for them and MSI made the wrong decision to list them also just for competitive marketing purposes. -
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Throughbred running at 1.35ghz ? HELP !?!?!
Hi. I have just bought an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ thoroughbred and popped it into my MSI K7N2 and everything seemed ok until the system info in the control panel says that the CPU is running at 1.35ghz. I am a little confused !?!?! Any help would be most appreciated. As I am a relative newbie when it comes to CPU's I just expected to plug it in and away I go ......
I have a similar problem, my machine runs, but the system says 1.24GHz. Its a 2.6XP AMD processor.
At present the jumpers are set at:
J10 - User Mode (default)
J11 - Closed (133/166MHz) (default)
Ive tried setting the bios manually, but each time I do it locks te machine up, i have to reset the bios in order to get back in. At this time I normally get a series of ligts indicating either a processor problem or once it said a memory problem.
Yet as you can see, Im using the machine OK.
What settings should I alter, atm everything in the bios is on default. -
I have just oced my athlon xp 2800+ to 2.25ghz and its at a stable temp of 32 degrees. This being my first overclock im quite happy. . Its at 180 fsb and 12.5 multiplier. The only thing is that when i right click on my computer and look at properties, it tells me thats its internal clock is 2.25ghz but it doesnt tell me its speed, AMD style i.e. 3000+ or whatever it is. If someone knows what it is now can u tell me.
Also i think my gc is underclocked. Its Agp clock value is at 66mhz. Is this what its meant to be or is it underclocked?Download wcpuid and it should tell you up to a certain point. Once you hit a certain speed it won't tell you the XX00+ rating.
Or go here ... http://www.ocinside.de/index_e.html this guide will tell you no matter what speed you overclock too -
!!!!!I CAN'T OVERCLOCK MY CPU. BIOS DOESN'T RECOGNIZE MY AMD ATHLON XP-MOBILE
My configuration is this:
Mainboard: MSI K7N2-DELTA2-FSR
CPU: AMD Athlon XP-Mobile 2500+ 1855MHZ
Video Card: CAPTIVA Nvidia 6600GT 128MB 128bit

Audio Card: Sound Blaster Audigy Live 5.1 24bit
Power Supply: 400WATT
DVD drive: LG 16X
SO I OVERCLOCK MY CPU UNTIL 3200+ (2200mhz), AND IF I WANT TO OVERCLOCK MORE DURING "POST", BIOS DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE NEW VALUE (ES: FSB 200 / X11.5 = 2300mhz . DOESN'T RECOGNIZE).
PLEASE HELP ME OR CAN YOU TELL ME HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM???
THANKS A LOT. BYE

Please furnish us some more info concerning the memory you are using and power output of the 3.3v - 5v -12v rails of your power supply along with the name of its manufacturer.
Some mobile cpus start up with a lower multiplier and then go to the bios to use the preset settings in the bios. If the cpu can't start with the bios settings, it remains at its start up values. Your mobile may not be able to run at a multiplier of 11.5 with a 200fsb. Drop its fsb back to 166 (stock fsb 133) and see if you can run it at its rated multiplier of 14. That will equal 2324mhz.
Overclocking is finding a balance between the fsb and the multiplier that allows you to get the most stable speed out of the cpu.
You also have not mentioned what vcore voltage that you are using or the temps.
The memory that I'm using are : V-Data 512x2 MB DDR CL 2,5
The power supply is 400watt chassis, 3,3V, 12V, 5V.
I tell you that with the mainboard ASUS I did't have this problem with the multiplier because I put 11.5 x 200Fsb.
Thanks of all.MSI DriversMSI Drivers -

MOVED: using kt4avl mobo w/amd athlon xp 2500+ barton....problems oc'ing
This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
using kt4avl mobo w/amd athlon xp 2500+ barton....problems oc'ingSorry if I'm posting in the "wrong" section - maybe you could tell me where I should post instead?
With a 333mhz max fsb board like the kt4avl, what should I be able to change to overclock, then? When I up the cpu freq from the default 166 to even as high as 180, it won't post...let alone 200 like I hear people do. What you're saying about the bios reading what's hard-coded into the chip during post makes me go 'hmmm', because if I set the freq down to the bios default of 100, the post reads the cpu as a 1900+.
I tried poking around on the internet for specs on successive xp chips, like the 2600+ and the 2800+. My chip, being the 2500+ which runs at 1.833ghz, has a multiplier of 11 with a freq of 166. Whereas,I found some doc on the other chips having multipliers of like 12.5 or 13.5, something like that - when I tried manipulating the multiplier higher than the stock 11, it posts, but it didn't change my operating frequency any when I viewed it from within Windows (system properties view in Windows tells you how fast your cpu is operating), but that did increase when I was manipulating the cpu frequency in the bios earlier (it's just that it 'hit the wall' at about 175mhz and wouldn't post with anything above that, even when increasing the cpu voltage to 1.7 or 1.75).
Can someone suggest what they might try, given these symptoms? -

Hlp. on Overclocking AMD Barton 2500+
BlueI need help on this overclocking matter.I just got this New AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2500+ Barton run on Ms-6734(KM4ML) MSI mainboard.
I 've read a lot about overclocking Aticle and found out the only way to clock is to go for this so call 'Multiplier'.but when I go thru my Bios setup there was no mutiplier?But the board say it support overclocking?
I did download CPU-z software.And it say my CPU speed are 1.83 Mhz.Pls.hlp me on this,I really need to know how to overclock this CPU a little far from 1.83Mhz?Quote

I did go into the Bios setup go thru the Frequency/Voltage Control this is what the manual say if I need to do some Overclocking.There only two option in Frequancy seting: Auto Detact DIMM/PCI CLK (Enable/Disable)
Spread Specrum (Disable/+/-025%,0.35%,0.50% and0.75%
If I need to overclock I have to Disable the Specrum?One thing I did too is I go for the jumpers too but the seting are still the same,the thing is that there no Multiplier could be seem in the Cmos?I dont know wat else can I do to overclock this board.Might be this board is non overclocke type but why does it say this board designed to support overclocking?Ahhhh.....wat a life I've got this board for...I really need help on?There must be a way.....:(

How do I overclock my Athlon XP 2100 T-Bred?
Here is my system:

AMD Athlon XP 2100 T-Bred CPU (currently 266 FSB, 1.7 ghz)
Two 256MB DDR-Ram Sticks PC2100 Kingston ValueRam
1. I hear I can overclock my CPU to 2.1 ghz. How do I do this?
2. Are there any heat concerns?
3. Will my memory sticks have to be replaced or adjusted?Hi,
another thread, no :D this time ...
Netherscourge: your memory will definitely be a limiting factor ...
As for the "Overclocking Partner": manufacturers are more or less forced to advertise in such a way nowadays (and mostly the board will not be the first component to give in, also); I seriously doubt however that MSI will take responsibility for fried CPUs or charred RAM )

Ive got a KT4V motherboard with a Geforce MX 440 Graphics card, 512DDR PC2100 Ram and an AMD Athlon Xp 2400+ Cpu. I was wondering wether anyone could tell me anything i could do to make my system run that bit faster without overclocking.
Im gonna get a new case soon with a better power supply and cooling so im glad to hear any suggestion for overclockin as well. Its not gonna be watercooled or anything like that so i cant go extreme with the fsb and stuff.problem is your ram,your best o/c is lower multiplier,read the wire trick thread as you need that and then run it at 166 fsb or a bit more
but chances are at 166 your rams not going to boot being only pc 2100
so leave it be as far as multiplier and raise fsb a bit at a time
due to the multiplier bit your chipset uses at around mid 140 fsb it will not boot as agp and pci will be out of specs to much -

I was looking for a 125watt board too and its really hard to find one from MSI that have the things I want, I cant even find a board with Nvidia chipset, amd2+ and support a 125 watt processor (or not tested OK yet) or some boards without a cpu support list yet. So no AM2+ for you if you want a 125watt processor on it and a nvidia chipset. is there any reason why MSI cant fix 125watt support?
If you dont care about a future quadcores upgrade you can buy a old AM2 board, but dont forgot to look at the cpu support list, because the most AM2 boards doesnt support 125watt either. ???

That is not true, 125W support usually have high end mainboards.

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ cpu upgrade to AMD Athlon 64 X2
Hello everyone,
First of all, I have been to cpu-upgrade.com and typed in my current (CPU)--> AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz (motherboard)--> ASUS A8M2N-LA (Naos) GL6.
According to the website, my AM2 Socket (940pin) is capable of upgrading to a Dual Core, Anyone know if that site is accurate or not? Any help would be nice. I need to get away from this single core.
1) Some CPU models require a BIOS upgrade, which a BIOS upgrade for this board is not available.
2) A lot of X2 Dual Cores work either using a 4400+, 4600+, and so on....
I do have a 550watt PSU installed, also I am using MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 PCI-express 16x graphics, not using onboard.
I have read that some BIOS' upgrades terminate the onboard video, is that true? Basically, whatever I already have installed is current and up to date with all video/sound drivers, etc... If anybody very knowledgable knows for sure if an AMD Athlon 64 X2 will work in my system that would be nice. My specs below......
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic (32bit)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz
RAM: 2GB (GDDR2)
PSU: 550watt (all 20+4 for main cable to motherboard connected using all 24 pins + 4pin connector for CPU? I believe.
Sound: Realtek HD ALC888 High Definition Audio
Video: MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 (GDDR3 with 2GB Video Memory).
