What kind of speeds can i expect from a locked 2600+ Barton pushed to 400 FSB with PC3200 RAM? And since im doing it no matter how much faster it gets, am i going to need to cool anything better than stock?
You'd be going from 11.5 x 166mhz (1917mhz) to 11.5 x 200mhz (2300mhz)...about a 20% increase in clock speed. You may or may not have to increase the CPU voltage (vcore) to get the system to run stable. The stock HSF should be fine & hopefully you have a couple of case fans. What motherboard?

i had to get a better heatsink/fan and also added a case fan. i was getting warm when i had my 2600
Summary: tried changing the bus speed from 66 to 100mhz on a perfectly good computer to see if there was a difference in speed,said `yes` to the changes and POOF!! the thing won`t as much as get to POST..light...
Summary: Ok sometimes my fan speeds drop from 4800rpm to 300rpm out of the blue. I dont think its because I'm short on power because I have a 400watt supply and i am not running anthing but the basics and one ...
