I need help on overclocking my 2.5 barton I have a K7N2 mobo with pc2700 ddr i set my mobo from 166(default) to 200 mhz its running as a 3.2 (2,226 mhz)i read a few areas on people talking that the 2.5 barton is a underclocked 2.8 and have overclocked too a 2.5 the question is what do i set the VCORE mine iz 1.63,and i have 3.3 v,+5 v,+12vwhat can i crank these 2???thanks for all posts

1st of all, it's not a 2.5 Barton, it's a 2500+. If you're running at 3200+ speed with the stock vcore of 1.65v & your system is stable, there's no need to change it. The other voltages are for your power supply...they cannot be changed

well excuse me,i have read post where people have overclocked the 2500+,and was wondering how to overclock more any more posts,about my 2500+ will be appreciated.and it iz a barton

He's saying it's not a "2.5" Barton, not that it isn't a barton... I'll give you a tip and stay where you are, if you're using stock HSF definately stay there. BUT to help you out (or f*** you over) to get more out of it start raising the CPU volt. Read up on what others get with their HSF to give you an idea. Usually raising it 10% is safe, but definately keep an eye on your temps...

Let me try to clarify a bit... shadeoff knew what I meant...I didn't mean that your CPU isn't a Barton, I was just correcting you in that it's called a 2500+, not a 2.5 As for your statement, "i read a few areas on people talking that the 2.5 barton is a underclocked 2.8"...there have been a lot of theories about this lately & I tend to think they're correct....& it might explain why AMD decided to lock the Barton's multiplier after week 39 or so of production. Instead of typing it out again, have a look at this post from not so long ago: http://computing.net/cpus/wwwboard/forum/8671.html
