O/C My 2400+

[Hudson1872]

How would I go about O/Cin' my AMD 2400+ ? I put the fsb to 166 (instead of 133) and when I restarted, I got just a black screen (monitor was in standby); I had to reset the CMOS. What was I doing wrong and what can I do right next time. Also, as a 2400+ im running at 41c. Thanks !!

What motherboard do you have?
What RAM do you have?
Is your CPU multiplier-locked?

There are some FAQ threads in the overclocking sections. You may find some useful info there.

Nah, your CPU won't overclock that far.

When you changed to 166, you should have changed the multiplier also. Try 166 x 12. That would be the same clock speed with a faster FSB.

Newer 2400+ processors are locked, that started almost a year ago.

For fun and games, I slapped a 2400+ into an MSI K7N2 Delta-L NF2 Ultra400 board (It has that handy D-bracket for H/W troubleshooting ) that I had laying around, along with a single 512 stick of generic ram, and overclocked with a generic copper-hybrid heatsink/fan. Hopefully this will simulate a similar experience to what you would experience...

With the multiplier locked at 15X, the only real overclock is to raise the FSB in increments of single digits, versus jumping 33 mhz. I was able to get a stable overclock on stock voltage (and stock AGP) of 140 mhz/2105Mhz while running at approximately 45C idle and 49C load.

I was able to get to 150mhz/2250mhz by increasing voltage on core to 1.7v and relaxing memory timings on ram, but temps rose to 48C idle and over 55C load. At that point it started to give errors.

A good medium OC was to relax the overclock to 145mhz/2175mhz, while maintaining system stability with decent temps.

As you can see though, there was no way to reach 166mhz FSB on air cooling alone. I would try a less agressive approach to the OC if you have the options in your bios.

Specifically, increase your FSB by single mhz increases, test your system for stability, then go higher. Its a tedious process, but will allow for the max OC you can get while maintaining the necessary system stability.

And to note, you may have to, as I had stated previously, relax your memory timings depending on your ram, as well as increasing the voltage to the cpu. However, you should NEVER take the voltage past 1.8v or you will most likely fry the cpu.

.....Hope that helps you out.

Yeah, my 2400+ is locked, too.

My 2400+ (1.65v) can do 2175 MHz (145 x 11 @ 1.75v) stable with retail package HSF. I haven't pushed it further, so can't tell how far my 2400+ can really go.

i have my 2400 running at 2260, fsb is 137 and multi is 16.5x im using a k7s5a board and have cheepo ram so i cant push my fsb too high. at this speed it runs at about 50C with stock cooling and is stable, the computer is upstairs in the house so on exstremly hot days the temp rises to around 60 and the computer becomes unstable. i had this prossesor up to 2490 ish, and did a few benchmarks till it crashed almost got it to 2500Mhz but wouldnt boot, but that was puting the case out side on a cold day were it was about 12C. oh i have the voltage at 1.728v i found that any higher or lower i couldnt get it to over clock as far. thats my experance with the AXP2400+

Poor mans surround sound all the way!
