2500+ locked

I heard the other day that the AMD 2500+ now and have been coming out
of the fractory locked. What I want to know is, are the locked
versions still allowing 3200+ speeds by just changing the FSB to
200Mhz instead of 166Mhz.

Thanks!

yup the 200fsb useage is still there, its just a shame. For me my board max
is 205 fsb, that makes the locked 2500+ "only" 2255 mhz....so on my current
unlocked one im lucky to use 11.5x205.

before anyone says wiremods or link the L1's, you cant, AMD have changed
something meaning only 11 will work.

Yep, it's only the multiplier that is locked.

Yup, there is no FSB lock (you can even still pin-trick the fsb sense pins
if your MB doesn't support setting the multiplier).

It's there any danger to a system by having the fsb set to 200? I've
set it on my system and it seems to be working fine (benchmarking as a
3200+). I had a case fan put in my system when I got it because I
heard that AMD processors run a little hot. That the only change I've
made to my system and it's perfectly stable at this time. TIA.

hey there!
i've got a 2500+ cpu also and when i set my fbs to 200 it just kinda...does
nothing...it restarts and just kinda goes blank...what's your secret? help me

Don't know why it works for me. Just went into the BIOS and changed
the fsb setting to 200 and it booted up no prob. Tried fooling around
with other setting and it didn`t seem to make that much of a diff.
Just went back to setting the fsb to 200 and left everything else as
the original settings. For the most part, can`t tell the diff between
the original and the OC setting - need the benchmarking to tell me
that there is a difference.

Got my system in about Nov/03. :
AMD Athlon XP Barton 2500+
Shuttle AN35N nForce Ultra400 Dual Channel w/Audio, LAN
DDR 400MHz 512M
GeForce FX5200 8X AGP 128MB DDR+TV

Good luck...

Try pushing your vcore up to 1.70 or 1.725. Make sure you cooling is good.
