2500 Amd

[hydrotaoist]

im wantin to buy my g/f a new cpu..and im going to overclock it..im going to get 400mhz memory...the prices are pretty much the same..but i think i remember hearing somewhere that the 2500 was highly overlockable..im wantin to get it to at LEAST a 2800..which is the highest overclockable cpu for about the 80-100 price range US dollars?

 

the mobo and everything else will up to par to run a 3200AMD 400 FSB

The 2500xp + is a sweet overclocker.

Ive had mine @ 2.7 ghz (1.9vcore/2.8dimm)

But mine has the multi unlocked and most of the

2500's have the multi's locked now.

 

2.6 @ 1.85vcore

I would be able to get more out of it if i had

better ram

The new 2500's come with locked multipliers, so about the most stable you would get out of it is 200fsb, which will make it a 3200(2.2ghz)

 

ive had mine boot at 2600mhz, but temperature was my biggest problem, the most i can get out of mine where it's half way stable is 2500mhz.

mine and most others max out at around 2200mhz 1.75 vcore.

I'd get faster RAM if you can. I'm disappointed that my RAM can't make the jump to 400Mhz while overclocking, and I have to put the timings to 3-4-4-8 to overclock at all. I think it's because my mobo only allows me to put 2.7volts maximum into the RAM, and 1.8 volts to the CPU because it's not stable at all. I can't complete 3dmark 01 without it rebooting. Oh well, It's still freakin' fast at 2Ghz.
