O/Cing Processors

[gopher_yarrowzoo]

I got an XP2600 T/bred on MSI KT6 Delta Mobo w 512MB Ram also a
XP2200 T/bred and a XP2000 T/bred on Shuttle AK32 Mobo's w 512mb ram and I wanna OC them any ideas..
XP2600 running @ 166 x 12.5 (2088Mhz)
XP2000 running @ 133 x 12.5 (1660Mhz)
XP2200 running @ 133 x 13.5 (1802Mhz)

I donn't know those boards , but probably the easisest way to increase speed is via the FSB. Depending on the speed of yor RAm and the possibilities of those boards I would slowly increase the FSB. You can also try the multiplier, but I don't know if those are already locked on the T-breds....
The over thing you have to keep in mind is that the PCI bus and the other busses(AGP) get overclocked as well when you increase the FSB unless your MB can lock those to a certain speed. Most of the bus-systems are pretty critical about a speed increase...
As far as I know, many of the N-force 2 boards can lock the bus speeds.
Eventually you also have to increase the V-core for the cpu and eventually also for the RAM...
BUT PLEASE BE VERY CAREFULL! AND WATCH THE TEMPS!
There are enough sources on the internet with detailed how-to's so please inform yourself and don't fry your hardware :cheers:
Hope this gives an Idea....

Gopher,

Here is a site that pretty well covers O/C'ing AMD processors. It's very step-by-step in nature.

T-Breds overclock nice:)
One thing to look at is your ram speeds. If you cant adjust your multiplier then ram might be your limiting factor. Keep your ram and FSB running in sync. AMDs preform much better this way on most chipsets.

Good luck, and beware overclocking is addictave:tempted:

Cheers Antereen, looks good site
FSB of Mem are gone be fixed as they are generic, i.e not the top of the range stuff...
XP2600 uses DDR333 and the others use DDR266
