AMD XP2400+

[gurunaif]

Has anyone overclocked the XP2400+? Where do you start/how do you do it safely? I'm a rookie and finding it really difficult to find the information.
p.s my MB is Gigabyte GA7VA which has an unstable software overclocking utility. I'd like ot know how to make the change in hardware bios.

Thanks and all the best.

I got the same Mobo and it seems to hate my Radeon 9700. I think its the VIA chipset, they suck. The system runs flawlessly with an NVIDIA card in it.

My GA-VAXP Ultra doesnt have an adjustible PCI/bus divider, your choices are either 100MHz or AUTO. Which kinda sucks. So basically the only way I was able to overclock my 2100+ was by tweaking the multiplier settings. I've gotten it up to 2700+. I havent really tried any higher. Your stock 2400+ runs at 1995MHz and a multiplier of 15. (133x15) The highest multipler setting on the GAVAXP is 18x so you could get 2394MHz, how stable it would be is another story.

Have you tried the latest BIOS to get the board stable with that videocard?

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on 😱
