MBM5??

I installed mbm5370.exe on 2 PCs, and only get a DOS looking window for a few
seconds. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thanks.

I just got my first entirely home made PC up and want to get a quieter fan from
NewEgg. Be nice to test the chip temps before and after. I saw demo of the
program at the MBM5 site and think I can learn a lot about my PC from using it.


Also see that MBM5 is a good tool for overclockers. Can I overclock my Athlon
1500 XP? What is the max effective speed I can overclock to? Other than games,
could I notice any difference by overclocking? thanks again for any advice.

I had this too, I went back to 5360, I assumed that it was an installer bug
but didn't look it up or report it.

What is "max effective speed" supposed to mean, exactly?

By cranking the voltage up to 1.85, puttng a good, not median, heatsink on
it and having good airflow, you can probably reach 1.75GHz, +- 100MHz.
IMHO, it's not worth the effort, better to leave the voltage at 1.75-1.8,
shoot for more modest o'c.

O'C depends on the motherboard too, early chipsets didn't suppport 133MHz
FSB too well, so you'd need increase multiplier even more. To increase
multiplier you may need paint bridges on the chip. All in all, a lot of
work for result of a hot-running chip that has lower performance than you
can buy for $66 (XP2600, today's Pricewatch.com price).

I might take the opposite route with that CPU, undervolting it to
1.6-1.65V, then taking FSB as high as motherboard stabily allows, and
lowering multiplier as needed to be stable @ chosen voltage, so result is
cool running, adequate performance 2nd system for less demanding uses.

1500-2100 were first generation 'Palomino' core CPU's which dont overclock
well. I had a 2000+ and it would fail to boot with a 3+MHz FSB increase.
They also run hot compared to the newer core CPU's.

Don't know, I don't use it now but last time i did it worked fine.
Uninstall and try a different version. If you have any services disabled
you might look into that and/or kill 'em before installing.

Where can I find the 5360 version to download now? All I see is the 5370.

thanks

Me too, thanks.

I found it at the Alliance of Overclocking Arts site.... now that's an
interesting place.
