Help OVERCLOCKED barton 3200 at 2500 score
Hi everyone
If you have any suggestion on my problem i will thank you a lot. Here is the problem' I have an athlon barton 2500 overcloceked at 3200 but i got the same performance at 2500. I benchmarked my overclocked cpu by using sandra, the score was at a typical althlon 3200. When i benchmarked my cpu with games then the story is different. All games had the same score before i overclocked my cpu at 2500+. No matter i tried to tweak the bios it still gave me the same scores on games. I checked the forum on internet and seen a lot of successful overclockers with their cpu and that made me so confused. Few day later, i checked my bios setting and saw the external frequency at 200 mhz while the memory frequency at 166 mhz. I thought i would solve my problem by increasing the memory frequency to 200 mhz. But windows restared itself before booting up. I tried to increased the cpu volt up to 1.85v but no successful. I have been SLEEPLESS for 2 days trying to figure out what is wrong. Now i gave up and i NEED HELP. Maybe you guys give me the answers. My system specs; Multiple locked Barton 2500 at 3200 with 200 mhz fsb (while memory is at 166 mhz) Asus a7n8x x mobo 512 meg crappy ram windows xp with sp1 with all latest updates Thank you and thank you |

I think you answered you question yourself by saying 512mb of crappy ram.
The memory might not be able to run at a 200mhz front system bus (400mhz for memory) Your CPU is running allright and increasing the CPU voltage will not help with the problem you have with your memory.You might be able to change the timing of the memory or increase the voltage to the memory.

My memory is pc3200, and it run natively at 400 mhz. However, i run
some test if i see any changes On Mon, 6 Sep 2004 21:35:03 +1000, "Achim Weissegger" wrote: I think you answered you question yourself by saying 512mb of crappy ram.

DDR ram doesn't run natively at any speed.It runs at the speed your BIOS tells
it to(if it can). My memory is pc3200, and it run natively at 400 mhz. However, i run some test if i see any changes |
