Wouldnt be exactly what I would be after but they are all worth points I suppose. Although you have to get a good socket A Board and modify the hell out of it to get the most out of it and probably get a Ram Booster too. I tell you now Shane I am on my 5th or 6th NF7S and each one has been hard to find and died easily. I have even got a second one untouched in the cupboard for when this one dies. Ask Scotty how many Socket A boards he has owned. Although I would buy them just for the plastic Clamshells that size is hard to find and I could do with a few more.  |

I have probably got 1 or 2 Socket A boards here you can have a play with will have to have a look.
I know I have got 1.
Will talk about it tomorrow.
For CPU's look for Bartons 2500+, 2600+, 2800+, 3000+ I dont think you will find any XPM mobile chips here in Austaralia but you never know.
Those ones are pretty old you have linked.

Socket A is a tough go. It's one of my favorite platforms but hard to score points on these days. Boards killed?, can't remember but definitely more than Pete.
If you're looking for something in that era to play with, I would suggest socket 370. It's the equivalent of socket A but Intel. CPU's are dirt cheap and the boards are fairly tough. I would suggest an Asus CUSL2 board.

ok scotty thx, think it would be wise to wait until pete decides to set up his at sometime then have a look |

Guys, please help me ! I'm stuck with a 2500+ xp-m. How can I use that cpu like normal Athlon xp's ? It's always stuck to an exact fsb.... I can change only multiplier but fsb can't be adjusted.

Post by alpi on Jun 16, 2018 16:29:53 GMT -5
Both of my Abit's. Nf-7 and An-7 also. To the Nf-7 I've found a bios where it was locked to 200 fsb. In my An7 it was stucked to 100 or 133. In os I can set fsb without any matter, it's stucked only in bios. I was forgot to mention that it's a 45W model, maybe that's why it's not fully supported ? :S |

You can run XP-M's in both those boards no problem.
It's all bios related.
Do you know what bios your running?
Also, Abit boards are battery eaters. Battery needs to be 2.8v minimum or weird things happen.

Yeah, Abits are weird when the CMOS battery gets weak, esp the AN7's.
May as well keep a few spares handy, you'll need 'em.

Lol, in my other Nf-7 it's on 210 fsb... Every other cpu going perfect, just this one doin' the "show"... it's skipping the bios saving after quit the bios. The screen with red words only blink for a sec, also I can't flash bios if this cpu is on the board. It writes it's write protected... I think I'll give it up. Maybe something is wrong with this cpu. There is a damaged part on the pcb, maybe it causes this. I feel, I can kick this up to the roofs... Stolen my complete afternoon and evening.. :S

Stolen my complete afternoon and evening.. :S The damage to the chip could be the problem, I've never seen an XP-M not able to be clocked up with FSB speed. In fact for Socket A XP-M's are the preferred chip vs desktop chips overall, they run cooler and since they're unlocked are tweakable vs the majority of desktops that are superlocked. |

Yeah I felt bad when I destroyed my AXP3200 before 0339 cpu. I got an XP-M that reached 3200 spec, unsure how much further it will reach on this dfi board... |

Most chips after the superlock date do fine with many holding records.
I have two XP-3200's with one locked (0422), one not (0336) and both are 400FSB chips.

Mine struggle to even do 2.3 I don't know if it was because I was inexperienced or if I need to loosen up my memory timings or apply more vcore what I don't know Or if I needed to add heatsinks to the vrms. Idk |

If it had higher multi's it would be a good chip.
They dont like half multi's cold either that could be the board though.

Noted it's a 166 chip, Personally I've never seen one that was too good. Not saying they don't exist, just that I've never seen a (D) 166/333 chip do as well as a (C) 133/266 or a (E) 200/400 does.

This is incorrect. Those are XP-M specs. I notified CPU World of the error. I'm a long time member there too.  |
