psychoge3k Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I have an Athlon XP 2100+ Palomino, running with a 133Mhz FSB on an MSI Kt4 Ultra mainboard. I have been told that this chip can run on a 266Mhz bus. Is this true? Each time I try, I get crashes in games and so forth. I have PC3200 DDR RAM, which is running at 400Mhz, but I could match it to the FSB speed if required. If I can indeed run it with a 266Mhz FSB, what would be the correct multiplier settings, and any other misc settings i need to enable/disable.

Samoa Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 That is exactly what your CPU is running. YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM. 133 x 2 = 266 Might want to turn down that vcore to 1.65. It is apparently at 1.75v for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoge3k Posted December 21, 2003 Author Share Posted December 21, 2003 Okie.. I was wondering why the chip runs around 52*c... The VCore is on auto tho I think, I'll try changing it now. Should I keep the RAM at 400MHz, or would it run better if dropped to the same speed of the other components? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalN. Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 krrp the ram at 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted December 21, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 21, 2003 um, the ram isn't at 400, it's at 266. the palys don't OC either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoa Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 The Man is right, your DDR is 3200. YOU are running it at 266. THere is nothing to do exept lower that vcore... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antally Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Pally default Vcore is 1.75, the Tbred's use 1.65 by defualt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 (edited) Heres teh defaults for that cpu, official ones. I.D PR Speed Multiplier VCore Max. Temp BUS Cache AX2100DMT3C 2100+ 1733MHz 13x 1.75V 90? C 266MHz 256KB Edited December 21, 2003 by Homer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-penguin Veteran Posted December 21, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 21, 2003 lol by running 266(x2 532) instead of 133(x2=266) you've gone over your rams limit..... ^_^ lololol just drop the multipliera notch und run up to 200mhz fsb ;) it'll be fine then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antally Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 ^^ He is running a 133 FSB (133x2), and Pally's are multiplier locked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-penguin Veteran Posted December 21, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 21, 2003 1: i know he is but he said he tried a 266 (as in 266x2) 2:they are the easiest to unlock.....i did mine myself if you check back in the overclocking forum you'll see i had a 1900+ palomino :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antally Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 ^^ just him asking about this kind of stuff lets me know he hasn't unlocked his cpu... and a kt400 board, and a (locked) pally wouldn't even boot at 266 (if you can even set it that high in the bios), therefore he must have meant 133x2...
