is my AthlonXP 1700+ a good Overclocker?

Shadow Lady · Oct 11, 2003, 08:09 PM

here is the reference or whatever: AXDA1700DLT3C

I have it currently running at 1694 MHz at 48ºc load, and seems like I cannot get it higher, so is it the limit? what to do for higher OC? ohh BTW I have stock cooling

I would suggest getting a better heatsink and possibly some better ram....before going any higher with it .....the limitations IMO would be your ram as far as getting any "higher".

ohh, I havent update my sig, I have 512mb pc2700 ram right now ^^'

whats the stepping? you could have a Tbred A or B. I have a 1.5V tbred A 1700+ and it barly overclocks, it wont even post past 1.9GHz

My 1.5V tbred B 2100+ on the other hand will do a little over 2.5GHz (I'm mobo limited right now)

Lady. Since you got the DL3TC it's 1.5v as you know. Most of the 1700s do between 2.0-2.1 ghz on stock voltage. For example. I have mine at 1.75v and I get up to 2400mhz. I'm just running 2363 cuz of my RAM.

So essentially I suggest you push it as far as it'll go on stock voltage as you have just a stock heatsink.

Shadow Lady · Oct 12, 2003, 05:39 PM

ok, ill do that, now how to do it? ^^'

~~craig588~~ · Oct 12, 2003, 05:44 PM

I mean like JUHIB, AUHIB, AIUGA, ect...

If the last letter in the stepping code is a B then you have a tbred B but if its an A then you have a tbred A. Look at the chip to find out.

Bs wil hit 2.3-2.5GHz
As will hit 1.7-1.9GHz

Not if its an A, I have a DL3TC tbred A and it will barly do 1.9GHz at 1.85V.

I suggest you set the fsb in the bios to 175 and the multiplier to 10. If it's stable then that'll work for you. If you want more speed then I suggest putting no more than 1.7v to the cpu on that stock cooler. Truthfully, you're better off running to like CompUSA or some store like that and buying a cheap $20-$25 copper heatsink. Assuming you're using the AMD heatsink with the phase change material, a mediocre heatsink will drop your temps buy nearly 20C. Post back your results.
