I have a

AMD X2 4200+ 65W AM2 (CoolMaster Liquid Cooling)
ABIT AN932X Fatal1ty motherboard
Thermaltake 700w toughpower power supply
2G Corsair PC 6400 XMS2 EXTREME

I currently have it running 2.54Ghz at 1.35v steady but it only lasts for 1 - 2 hours then completely shuts down and restarts.

Current Multiplier: X11
Current Core Clock: 230

Im hearing everyone talking about getting to 2.8Ghz if someone can help it would be great.

try a little more voltage... 1.4V should do it with stability.

turn down the mult to 10. raise the volt of dram to 2.1 and raise the cpu volt to 1.45 or 1.5

dont change the mult. to 10 keep it at 11.

ok I will try I did fix the stability, the ram was running at 1.8V its suppost to be 1.9V its works now but I will slowly try getting to 2.6Ghz.

I was doing tests on HL2 here are my results.

-=Half Life 2=-

Stock = 200Fsb / Core 1.30V-1.35V / Ram 1.9V / 147.59FPS / Highest Setting
OC 1 = 220Fsb / Core 1.30V-1.35V / Ram 1.9V / 160.45FPS / Highest Setting
OC 2 = 230Fsb / Core 1.35V-1.40V / Ram 1.9V / 167.5FPS / Highest Setting

that's not gonna give you stability. You gotta run something like Orthos or Prime95

well I had no luck getting up to the 2.6Ghz. I cant even get it to load into windows it blue screens me. of course Im still using the 11X multiplier.

more voltage. go to 1.5 then try again.

Its still unstable it crashes but less often now. im still at 2.54Ghz.

I put my computer info in my sig.

what is your memory divider and HT speed?

Took some time to work on my X2 4200 last night, I'm sitting at 2596 Mhz right now, didn't touch voltage yet (set at 1.3V, CPUZ and EVEREST show 1.2V)

11x 236
HT Link 4x

It survived 6 hours of Orthos at 2.4 Ghz and another 7 hours at 2.6 Ghz so it seems stable. 48-50 celcius at 100% load and around 41 when "idle" (aka: folding )

That frequency kinda sucks though because I have to set my memory to DDR 667 otherwise it would run at 865 Mhz and I'm not too sure if it's a good idea.

I have an ASUS M2N-E, nothing too great...

Haha 41 at idle. What's this idle you speak of. If its idle then it should be folding

It's never really at idle of course I always have at least F@H running so yeah, 41 at 50% load.


My real idle temperature is around 25, heating turned off, room is around 18C.


Edit: Bleh, I'm having trouble getting past 236 Mhz, anything over that will blue screen after about 10 minutes of Folding+Orthos+Warcraft 3

Maybe I should give him some more voltage?

Ive tried increasing the voltage even up to 1.5V at 240Fsb at 11X still crashes I think I have one of the processors that cant get any higher then what I have.


FSB: 230
Multi: 11X
RAMV: 1.90V
CPUV: 1.35V

Output: 2.54Ghz
TempIdle: 70f/20c
TempLoad: 85f/32c

Stability: 100%Stable for 72Hours "No Errors No Crashes"

I plan on Getting a Higher CFM 120mm Fan should decrease the Idle and Load temps. I just put this up here for easy access.

raise ram volt to 2.1 try that

what are ur timmings on the ram?

My memory Timings are 5-5-5-12

try 4-4-4-12

just depends on ur ram usually ram is more stable at 4-4-4-12 but mine is able to reach a higher clock at 5-5-5-15
