Comment: Hi,
I have an amd athlon barton 3200+.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it can be overclocked? I heard the 2500+ bartons can be overclocked to be equivelent to a 3200+, i.e up to 400mhz fsb. However, since 400mhz is the maximum speed of athlon motherboards, does that mean that the 3200+ cannot be overclocked beyond this? any advice is appreciated :) there are 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don't

Reply: (edit)well 3 Ghz would be good (in my dreams) But surely the psu can handle that anyway, 350w could power pentium 4 @ 3ghz, so why is it useless to go beyond 2.2ghz default of the 3200+. Also , i'm not interested in overclocking the ram at the moment, just the cpu. How is the ram relevent here? Are asus motherboards not good for overclocking? am i asking too many questions? lol :D there are 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don't

Reply: (edit)Why would you overclock the CPU but not the RAM? They should be "in sync" for best performance. About your PSU...350 watt may or may not handle the overclock...probably not. Use this wattage calculator to see how many watts a overclocked 3200+ needs. To calculate amperage, simply divide the wattage by 12. My guess would be at 3ghz, you'd need well over 100 watts & close to 10 amps from the +12v rail http://www.benchtest.com/calc.html
