Attempt to run overclock on Athlon 200GE results in failure.
Attempt to run overclock on Athlon 200GE results in failure.
The system runs well at 25Mhz but struggles with higher frequencies like 3.225GHz or 3.250GHz. It seems the 3.225GHz setting causes boot issues, possibly due to a mismatch in critical parameters. Checking and adjusting those settings might resolve the problem.
Have you experimented with 1.35 volts? Are you doing multiplier overclocking? Also, keep in mind the 200GE isn't really an overclockable chip, even though it was turned on in some motherboards. That headline was about a year ago, so I don’t recall much of it.
You're using an overclocker that boosts the CPU's clock speed beyond its default limits. The image you mentioned likely shows a typical overclocking setup, indicating you're in the category of performance-focused overclockers.
That multiplier refers to overclocking. Above you’ll find the starting frequency of 100 MHz. (Don’t touch that one!) You might consider lowering the voltage slightly, though it should function properly. There’s no update from Gigabyte about disabling it in BIOS.
I used the 42g BIOS (dated 2019/10/18). It looks like your 200GE is now overclockable. Thanks, GigaByte.
