B.Ob. Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 no mulitplier change for you!! Glad I got mine when I did!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wargasm Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Me too. My XP2600 is unlocked. Did they only start locking the 2500's? Or did they get tired of replacing CPU's under warranty? I could fry my CPU easy with this Asus mobo, all frequencies are adjustable. Still, I think you can probably unlock them with a pencil. Someone will figure it out if they havent already. Maybe a pencil lead refill. The pins are a lot closer together than on the socket 7's...not as bad as the new pentiume though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted November 10, 2003 Author Share Posted November 10, 2003 They just started locking the Barton 2500+'s apparently. I guess HardOCP is going to ask AMD on Monday (11/10) whats up with the multiplier locking. As apparently all the bridges still look the same! *stayed tuned* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I bought mine within 2 weeks of release...currently 13.5x168 = 2268 MHz Before I got the 9700 Ultimate card, it was 10.5x216 = 2268 MHz I can surpass that (~2407 MHz), but UT freaks out...

PurSuiT Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I can boot fine and run desktop apps at 12 * 232 ~ 2784Mhz as soon as I hit anything graphical highest stable rate I can get is 11.5 * 202 ~ 2323Mhz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I can boot fine and run desktop apps at 12 * 232 ~ 2784Mhz as soon as I hit anything graphical highest stable rate I can get is 11.5 * 202 ~ 2323Mhz I want to see screenshots...that's a hugh difference between "stable" and boot. If I put my same chip in an Epox board, I can oc much higher, but not that much. Im calling BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 I can boot fine and run desktop apps at 12 * 232 ~ 2784Mhz as soon as I hit anything graphical highest stable rate I can get is 11.5 * 202 ~ 2323Mhz Ahhh, the peer pressure is enormous!! I guess I'll have to see how high I can push the FSB on my DDR333 CL2.5 RAM.... (sorry, I will keep them the same! No asyncronous buses for me!) Which is an idea for you two if you truely want to push your Barton higher, I'm pretty sure the NF7-S has the FSB for the CPU and memory seperate. PurSuiT, is the AGP/PCI bus locked at 66/33MHz?

Im calling BS The October Bios update made it so that I could only select 2500+ or 3200+ and had to leave everything set auto. Flashed the bios last night to the November rev. and I am back to a stable 11.5 * 202, with no over volting. WinMSD 3dMark2003 - I realize that alot of ppl do not think of this a true benchmark any more, I just use it to make sure I can run all test with no system lockups.
