Barton 2500 would kill Tbreds....

[hineigger]

If I can o/c it.

Currently the Barton 2500 runs 1.83ghz at 166fsb... It is outperformed by Athlon 2400 and way outperformed by Athlon 2600. 2400 = 2.0ghz at 133fsb and 2600 = 2.08ghz at 166fsb.

So the Barton would be way better than these two if it would just overclock to their mhz... If I can get the Barton to 2.0ghz, it would outperform these since it has the larger cache and its fsb is 166 like the 2600+.

My question is, does anybody here have info regarding Barton's o/c on an Nforce2 board? Dont want to do any mods, wires, tricks etc, just want to adjust the fsb and mulitplier....

I'm at 2.27 (198x11.5 @ 1.85v). However, I've also upgraded the cooling to a Thermalright SLK-800 (considered the best air cooling solution out there), and a Thermaltake Smartfan II running at nearly max rpm. I'm going to try to push it harder when I get rid of the sink on my A7N8X and put a fan there, and move the sink to the south bridge. It clocks pretty good. I'm pleased.
