fsb is not locked, but multiplier is...i have same board and same
locked
cpu, and i clocked it @200fsb to reach 3200 with no vcore increase.
depending, you might have to increase vcore slightly for it to become
stable.
as for cooling, the loud volcano 12 will do the trick, though mite
irritate
your eardrums
good luck and post your results

om...
Hello all,

I'm thinking of building a new PC with the AMD Athlon XP 2500+
Barton
and overclocking it to a 3200+. It's the first time I will have
built
an overclocked PC and I am buying this processor becuase I don't see
the point in paying £150 when you can just pay £50 and get the same
speeds. That gives me an extra £100 to get a cool graphics card .
Anyway, all of the forum threads and stuff I have read about
overclocking the 2500+ have been written in 2002 and 2003 and I am
wondering if AMD have got wise about people having 3200+ speeds
without them having an extra £100 in their bank account and locked
the
FSB of the processor somehow or dicreased it's ability to overclock.

I just want to do a simple FSB overclock to 200mhz. The computer
will
have this hardwa

Athlon XP 2500+ Barton
Asus A7N8X Deluxe v2.0
A single stick of Samsung 512 Pc3200 RAM
Seagate Barracuda SATA 80gb
Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb

For cooling I am thinking about 2xAntec Double Ball Bearing 8mm
Fans,
Thermaltake Volcano 12 HSF and Coolermaster Premium Thermal
Compound.

I just want an overclocker's opinion on what I have planned and if I
have enough cooling and if my first overclocking attempt will work
.
Can I plz have a quick answer to my question a bit up the page
about
AMD locking the FSB (if that is actually possible) sneaked in too
.

Thanks a bunch,
Luke
