XP2400, Albatron KX400-8X, PC2700, Please help!

I am not an OCer, but I know someone in here could help me out. I have an Albatron KX400-8X mobo, 3 x 256mb PC2700 DDR, and an AMD XP2400+ w/ stock hsf. If I need to use 166fsb, the lower speed I could use is 166x13 =2158 mhz. I really don’t want to OC it since the cpu goes up to 56C. Any advise.

To elaborate a little, you might geat abetter fan, there are a few good ones out there. Volcano makes a good fan. You might also tidy up the inside of your case to let the air flow a little better. A blowhole along with an extra intake fan would also help a bit.


BTW, Welcome to TIMO!!!

It's 56C full load. I tried running the Sandra burn in test at 10 cycle, and it's ok. But it failed, if I play game (system locked up).

P.S. I did set the core volt @ 1.675

It probably wants more core voltage. I'd lose the case cover and do some testing. Try to find it's sweet spot and plan some better cooling.
