Overclocking-an athlon xp 1.8 :)

[shovenose]

The cpu is a sempron (watered down athlon xp), 2600+. Its stock speed (iirc), is somewhere around 1.83. Right now im running it at 2002mhz, stock voltages. My mobo is a microatx msi ms-7119. It interestingly enough does have heatsinks on the cpu regulators. The ram is generic 512mb pc3200...
How high can i safely go on the cpu voltage?

Im worried about something: i have this motherboard crammed into an old xp case, with a 2000w psu and no case fan. Will it overheat?

Which core is it? Thoroughbred, Thorton, Barton?



I know a Barton can take up to 1.85V safely (given the cooling), but don't know about other cores.

if it's a socket a sempron, it's most likely a Barton. However, since the Sempron was the value replacement for the Duron, I think it had an odd name for the core. At least some of the early Semprons did.

I gotta get cpu-z on that thing anyway, so ill report back later today. :)

[MrWicked1968]

I'm thinking "Applebred", which was the last core designation for the Duron before they were replaced by the Sempron.

then again, I could be thinking "Thorton", which was a combination of thorobred and barton.

there are two different Sempron 2600+'s (http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/TYPE-Sempron.html)

none of those cores. yall were wrong :)

interesting results, i thought i had it overclocked to 2002mhz. guess it reset when i put in more ram (it has 256mb)
