How can I determine what my Athlon CPU should run at...

[NeilF]

My Shuttle SN45G lost its setting and I don't know (can't recall) what speed the CPU was? It was something like a 2400+ or 3200+?

How can I work out what speed it should be set to?

CPUz doesn't seem to give a hint of any sort


My memory speed is 200mhz in the bios and if I set my FSB to 200mhz too I get a 3200+ reported?!

then try it at 200mhz

do you have any info about how the cpu was beforehand? even something like temps would help

Well, it's running at 200mhz/3400+, and temps seem OK. Sitting low 50s...

Was that the kind of temps it was running at before?
If you want to be absolutely certain, you could remove the heatsink and clean the TIM off the card. That's a lot of hassle though.

I imagine it's 3200+ anyway, if your fsb is 200mhz

Really don't want to remove heatsinks

FSB and memory both set to 200mhz, and temps seem OK, so 3200+ it must be... It sounds sort of right
