Ok So I have recently overclocked my Barton 2800+ to 2GHZ now my asus probe A7N8X Deluxe mobo has started acting up fan readings are all over the place the actual readings are jumping ex. cpu fan registering as chassis fan or power supply fan as chasis fan and they switch. Also voltage is all over. I think it may be due to me using prime95 so i turned that off. Im gonan let it run to see if anything improves if not I will lower the oc. Thanks any ideas?
the 2800 barton should have a stock speed of around 2.075Ghz (166*12.5). Dont know what you've done to it but you certainly havn't overclocked it. try setting it to stock speed and run speedfan, see what that tells you.
Iono my cuzzin messed with something earlier on. Mine was clocked at 1.25ghz for the longest time so iono. I took out the CMOS and stock defualt is 1.25 so bla thats for shooting down my happy ness about getting 2.00ghz :'( just kidding means i will work harder.
my athlon 2800+ has a stock of 2.25 ghz! yes. STOCK at 2.25ghz! but its a thoroughbred b core. not many of these. they're rare chips! lol
curse curse curse just look at this. WTF is up with a fan doing alomst 30,000 rpm backwards? Muchless one that doesn't even exist in my system. *** problems. I wish someone lived local around here so they could help me out in realtime. here it is
CPU-Z shows the processor name based off the speed its seeing the processor at. He probably doesn't have an actual 2800, its jsut showing that because of how high he's clocked. My 1800 shows as a 2100 because of overclocking. @Hydro: Flip it to stock speeds, and then we can see what the processor is at.
Its a barton 2800+ i still remember the day I got it. btw its hardly OCed i managed to get it done t 801 mhz when i set clock to 150 or something at 14 multi which kicked to 6 for some reason still does. Ok so the magic number is 180 it crashes there no matter what without changing voltage or anything and until i decide on a nwe cooling method it isn't getting changed. Right now it is runnign quite happiyl at 2.075ghz 166 fsb and 12.5 multi. At stock. (cmos battery removed kicked to stock defualt) it runs 100 mhz and 12.5 multi which it has been running at for years. Iono I give up until i read up alot.
The slowest barton ran at 1.833Ghz so if its a barton then the stock speed can't be 1.25Ghz. The boards default bus speed is 100mhz, which would make sense since 12.5 multi * 100Mhz = 1.25Ghz, so thats why it reverted to that, however your cpu is rated to run at 166mhz. My old msi board had a 2800 barton in it and i had to set the bus speed when i originaly set it up. You could try updating the bios to see if that fixes the problem.
what mobo do you have? on my old gigabyte one there was a jumper that was set at 100mhz defualt when i got the board, it ran at 1.25 but once i switched it to auto it went to 2.1
Mmmmmm.... do I taste a hint of hostility there? What you should do, is before going back into ANY OCing, is to reset the BIOS. Check the stock cpu speed and memory speed in Windows, then start all over again.
Hey man, I know that, I have Barton 2800+ on my older machine, for some reason it is unstable when underclocked. I've experienced that. Just run it default, or overclock it a bit. But you won't get much out of that CPU, I just kept it as stock for most of the time. (but now.... Pentium D on the other hand.... ha ha HA HA HA...(evil laugh)
My wonder is that it has run at 1.25ghz for as long as i have had it and i reset the cmos by removing the battery and it jumps to 100 mhz fsb with a multi at 12.5 so i have it at i do not want to change voltage which i think would help stabalize any decent oc mainly because the stock hsf is pure junk imho. But I really wonder aobut the multiplier set at 14 but shows 6 and a frequency of 800 mhz clock fsb at 133. Would the voltage at 1.7 ish be rather high? maybe cause it to crash this is the standard bios settings for voltage. If i lowered it to 1.5 do you think i could stop it from crashing?
