Hey, I was wondering when something like this would happen. A group for those of us who are perfectly content with our low FPS!

The 462'ers thread
Well, dskina and I have been talking about it a little bit, (seeing as his family rig is a skt462 and mines my main rig) so we've decided to make a thread dedicated to the good old socket A chips, where ppl can come to discuss these old dinosaurs to thier hearts content.
RULES
*thread only for those who still activley use socket A rigs (ie: folding, media centers etc)
*System MUST be in you systems list
*Any Fanboy's will be ignored ( so posts like: "get a conroe!" will just be ignored)
For your name to be on the "members" list, please PM me
And thats about all i can think of for now, so please, any and all suggestions for these rules will be taking into account.
Welcome

I use it everyday, just as much as my new rig. I'm using it to type this, actually. I'd be pleased if you would add me to the list.

Thanks! I think we actually discussed overclocking the Barton 2500+ in a much earlier thread (like two months ago)... you were trying to help me out - I couldn't seem to get past 2.21-2.22GHz for some reason. I think I'm gonna dive back into it though.

lol, well with stock cooling I only managed to get 2.3 out of mine...but the temps were scary! like 50*C on idle

Ive backed it off to 2.28 now, and it seems to be ok. I increased the vcore by 6% to 1.744 v, and the FSB to 207.2 and the multiplier left at x 11.0
Unfortunately, I cant seem to find anything within the bios that will let me change the multiplier.
Hope that helps ya

I've heard the Thermalright SI-97A is one of the best Socket A coolers around (and you can add a decent 92mm fan of your choice, too). I'm running with a stock cooler right now though, and I'm hovering around 40-45C Idle (it seems to vary quite a bit) to about 53-55C Load, so I might have a little headway. I'll see what I can do, but I've got 2 get some sleep right now, been up all night, lol.
Looking forward to seeing new members and getting some more insight on the matter.

Hey can I join?
Even though the rig in my sig looks absolutely ridiculous, it is not my main system....yet. I currently still use my Athlon XP 1800+, 768MB...etc (you can see it in my alternate systems)
I recently bought an Cooler Master Aero 7+ and it isn't as good as expected

It lowers my temps 2-3C idle and 5-6C load (that's still in the 50C range)
But I also recently got an Asus A7N8X and a Thermalright SLK94-U. Hopefully if all goes well, I will be able to get my 1800+ to 2Ghz+

Even though Socket A's are becoming "outdated", I think they will go down in history as one of the best systems to own (IMO) - it was AMD's heyday
