Make $10 - help me overclock

handsome · #1 10-01-2005, 12:50 AM

AMD Sempron 2600+ Palermo (1.6GHz)
Chaintech VNF3-250 motherboard
1GB Corsair ValueSelect RAM

The multiplier is locked at 8x, and the FSB won't go much higher than 225 (1.8GHz). Supposedly these 3 make for a good overclocking combo, but *shrug* I'm a total n00b.

$10 via Stars transfer to anyone who can get me to 2.4GHz successfully.

Chips are clocked at the factory according to what they can handle in a certain set of benchmarks. Each core is manu'd to the same standards, the best results are rated the highest.

AFAIK, 1.6 -> 2.4 is like getting a pinto to do the quarter in 10 seconds. Possible but very difficult/expensive. Probably cheaper and easier to just buy a 'vette.

That said, GL.

I'm running it at 250 x 8 (2000 MHz) with the RAM at 2.5-3-3-6.. decent but I WANT MORE...
