brapuss i have what you need is the gigabyte 3d cooler i had it before the volcano is a dual blower fan with heat pipes a beautiful blue led display and a control knob for speeds 2000-4400 is average quiet at max speed is really good.
gigabyte has 3 models
1-3d cooler pro copperpipes and aluminium enclosure
2-3d cooler ultra no blue leds,all copper smaller than the other 2

XP your case is nice and colorful. I may have to put mine on and see what you all think of it. But seriously madmarko, read the thread. You'll find something.
It's funny how when someone asks about overclocking their 2800, we're like "read the thread man". That's what we need to start doing hehehe.

yeah, the answers are all in this thread, it's just that i personally don't want to overclock this processor (have previously o/clocked Intel processors before). I'm just happy with keeping the temperatures down at default speeds.

59's a little over average. about 139 degrees farenheit or so. I stay around 30-35 , which would be like 86-95 degrees farenheit (5 case fans and a volcano12) if that tells you anything.

ok, ive almost read every post in this 25+ page thread and everyone's vcore setting is different. I have the barton amd athlonxp 2800+ as well and the settings listed under advanced chipset or w/e in the bios are CPU speed or something TURBO fsb is at 166 and thats all i remember but i went to the menu under "votages" and my vcore voltage settings are differnet it doesnt label them as 1.6 or 1.7 or 1.8 it labels "default or something" and then its like 5% 7% 10% and so on... so idk if im doing something wrong or what but when i change the core voltage to 7% and the fsb to 200 MHZ when i right click my computer and go to properties its labeling my CPU speed at 1.25 ghz... i have 512 MB of DDR Ram 9800 pro video card pretty much it if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated :)

OK man, for starters, your writing sounds extremely vague so I cannot fully understand what you are saying but I will pick at the things that come out best. Everyone's vcore settings are different just because we set it that way. We use our judgement on how much power we want to put to the processor. What is TURBO fsb? It would probably be nice if you told us what kind of motherboard you have. I also wouldn't take your fsb to 200 unless you have proper cooling. Sometimes on gigabyte boards, you can change settings in bios but if you don't change the switches on the motherboard, you can't overclock the processor.

well i was just reading about the mother board i have (k7 triton ga-7n400 Pro 2) and all i got was bad reviews.... Anyways yes there is a switch on the motherboard that is blue and saids on but its set to off b/c when i set it to on and try turning the computer on it just beeps.... Sorry if i made that last post sound a little odd... anyways what i meant by turbo is in the BIOS the CPU not the FSB is set to TURBO and the FSB is set to 200MHZ and its labeling my cpu as a 1.25 lol!

i downloaded cpu-z and its saying my voltage is 1.808... the core speed is 1252.8MHZ... multiplier is 12.5.... fsb 100.2.... even tho i changed it to 200 idk... and the BUS speed is 200MHZ

Turn that turbo thing off. See what happens afterwards. So here's what your settings are, Vcore 1.8(a little high), fsb 200, multiplier 12.5 but cpu-z is showing your fsb as 100? hmm that sucks lol. Yeah just turn the turbo thing off. Since you do have a Gigabyte k7 triton ga-7n400 Pro 2 board, you will have to flip those switches to change your fsb and multiplier. The default setting for that is on 100 mhz so no matter what you do in bios, it won't change (just a safety thing) there is a switch located next to the cooler on the motherboard i think and then another near to the cpu. Flip those switches to the speed you want and then you will be okay. This is what happens when you don't read the manual for the motherboard. :) . I built a gaming one with the same motherboard and overclocked it to 2.3 Ghz and that thing is a monster. I'm an asus man myself and that's the only reason why I wouldn't buy one. I, in my opinion, think that's an awesome board.

@Ricochet2 - you're well within limits there. The danger limit for a 2800 is 85C. As per my signature - Ambient - 27C, CPU Idle - 59C, CPU working - 68C : the best i can get in my tidgy case (am more than happy with this tho). I could get better cooling, but at the expense of the racket it would create. I just don't want the noise anymore, it's a tad too loud now but have got used to it. A far cry from my days of 12or14 fans in a case

Hi kon1g, i've had a quick look @ the on line manual for you mobo and you can alter all you setting's manually i.e fsb, voltages and so on , go in to your advanceed chipset settings in you bios and select manual this should allow you to select a cpu fsb & memory frequency then go in to the frequency control in you bios an this will allow you to set the Vcore & Dimm voltage ( leave the AGP voltage alone ), try small increase's to find the best performance and stabillity ....is your 9800pro 128 or 256 ? also don't forget to change the switches on the mobo ...lol

He still needs to change the switches on the motherboard. That's how gigabyte boards are.

You have to read the manual to tell what they mean. I can't fully remember but those are what you need to overclock. I believe that on switch keeps the fsb at 100 for a safety thing and must be turned off. Then the numbers represent the different multiplier settings. Just find the manual, crack it open, and read what it says man. That's the only way I can help you out.
