Re:AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ running at 2.9GHz max?! - 2006/11/27 22:44

It comes down to this, cooling, amount of voltages to CPU, northbridge voltages and northbridge cooling. And how far does the memory want to go and are you properly using a divider... I had an Athlon 3200+ Newcastle S754 doing 2.695GHz.
Hmm okay, that can be the problem, northbridge cooling is at stock cooling and voltages, cooling is good so far for the CPU, I haven't seen a higher temps as 45°C under load. I tried each voltage and divider, my ram goes up to 300MHz, so to speak DDR600 that I tested before and it works fine without errors at memtest for about 8 hours... My old S754 Athlon 3000+ Newcastle did around 2.6GHz too and I had it 24/7 online without errors.
So, what you guys think? Going out and do a better cooling for the mainboard chipset and mosfets or leave the system now untouched and sell it and buy a new AM2? Didn't have enough money now, but I hope I can get the rest of the money till end of next month and can buy me new system...
Future System Specs...
- AMD Athlon 64 FX-62 AM2 Processor
- Mushkin XP2-6400 DDR2-800 2048MB Memory
- ASUS Crosshair AM2 Gaming Motherboard
- GeForce 8800 GTX (2x, SLI) Graphics Cards
- Maxtor Maxline Pro 500GB Hard Drive
- Tagan Turbojet 1100W Power Supply
What you think about this system? Need only about €1100 then I can buy me those parts, the rest of the money I have. To speak, I only need the money for the graphics cards and I hope I can get this money when I sell my builded engine. Cause I don't want to sell my old system before I get the new one...
