Abit KT7E using Athlon XP 2000+ OC
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a similar config, perhaps
getting a better OC? I just went with another dirt cheap upgrade: upgraded only my CPU (from Duron 950, OC: 1200) to an XP2000+ (1.67GHz) and still managed to OC it to 1800GHz stable on an old Abit KT7E Ran WinXP and DOOM3 fine. Bios Settings: (Aggressive, version: 7N) Vcore = 1.70v voltage = 3.40v Multiplier: 12 and above = 12.5 using WCPUID FSB = 133/33 Additional FSB = 11 Total FSB = 144MHz WCPUID: Family 6/7 Model 8/8 Stepping ID 0/0 Internal Clock = 1806.54MHz System Bus = 289.05 MHz DDR System Clock = 144.52 MHz Multiplier = 12.5 Graphics: MSI GF3 Ti200 Memory = 256MB, PC133 I did manage to boot at 1900+ MHz, but stalled on Windows start. --eric |

That's a Tbred A core. you've just about got it maxed out. You *might* be able to ghet it stable at 1900MHz with more vcore, but it's not going to matter that much. Don't recall any hitting anything more than 1900MHz in a normal type setup. If you need more than you have now, you'll need another cpu (B core or Barton). -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

Wes,
I do seem to have a proc that's multiplier unlocked by default, is that normal for the XP 2000+ TBredA? Would there have been an advantage if I had gotten some other version of this chip ie. TBredB? Oh, I should mention one more thing to those that might have this similar setup. I was getting 4 long beeps during boot up even when underclocking the XP 2000+ to 1.4GHz on the Abit KT7E, the monitor would go blank, and the system would power down by itself. Solved it using the following: 1. Reseated the video card and memory. (though this didn't really make it go away) 2. At the bios, disabled CPU FAN warning (risky, but it works, besides it's a cheap proc on an old board that is EOL). eric Wes Newell wrote in message news:pan.2004.09.05.22.53.20.450236@TAKEOUTverizo n.net...

It's a complete new core compared to the first tbred core. Now the Barton is pretty much just a Tbred B core with extra cache added. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

Wes,
After careful consideration of what you said, I decided to return the XP2000+ (somehow I wasn't totally satisfied) and went for an XP2400+ with a few more bucks. It works!! Funny thing is that the Abit KT7E board decided to choose a multiplier of 20X on its own (based on WCPUID) and an FSB of 100 not 133. I am getting 2GHz, and managed to overclock a little (added a couple FSBs to a max of 12) hitting 2280MHz (boot only), but am now running at 2100MHz (works with WinXP, Doom3). Despite the quirks I've had with the KT7E over the last 2.5 years, (had to solve problems with VIA4IN1 drivers, cracking sound, bios upgrades, linux boot problems, win2K or winXP wouldn't install with a GeForce3) I am impressed with the board able to handle the new chip and the good documentation/resources on the board. This should last me another 3 years before finally retiring the entire system. eric -- with a humble AbitKT7E, XP2400+, 256MB PC133, MSI GF3-Ti200 Wes Newell wrote in message news:pan.2004.09.07.06.37.35.677451@TAKEOUTverizo n.net...
