ABOU · 10-28-2003, 05:55 PM

ok i have an athlon xp 2800 barton and a gigabyte ga-7n400 pro

i have heard the 2800 is a great overclocker but how much should i o/c it ??

i heard you can flash your motherboard instead of o/cing your chip how does this work ??

interesting utility, which works actually, i have mine running 2210 mhz, not a big improvement, but it shows that it actually works.
when i buy some more fans, ill go up some more, although temps only increased half a degree (C)

Just make sure you have enough cooling going on in your system...the last thing you want to do is melt your CPU.

What CPU fan/heatsink combo are you looking at?

with my nasty thermalright sp97, I got 2.4 ghz with only a small voltage bump with no problems...with very low temps.
