Hey guys, i have a 2500+ barton with an MSI nforce2 K7N2GM-V mobo. My mobo is multiplier locked, so the only way i can OC is via the fsb. I know my nforce2 can handle 400mhz, But I was wondering how far I can push my 2500 fsb on stock voltage. I'm hoping to get to 182x11@ 2.02 ghz.

I have a mobie 2500 @ 2.4ghz...damn mobo holding it back..i've had it to 2.6 on a lan party board.
 
my 2500+ (non-mobile) has been at 3200+ (2.2ghz) for two years rock solid. I have yet to get my hands on a 2500+ that was not able to hit 3200+ within the first day.

11x200 = 2200, core voltage is AROUND 1.76
 
Nakamori: Well, trial and error, increase FSB 2-3 mhz , test, repeat until you experience stability issues, then lower a little bit. DDR400 (PC3200) or faster RAM would be a good idea too.

My regular (locked) 2500+ runs 2.2 easily... at 1.825 V. :eek:
 
it depends on how old your 2500+ is. I know the ones made before october 2003 were multiplier unlocked and overclocked decently. i had two that both did 3200+ (11x200) without changing any voltages. But some of the ones after that were terrible, i remember one i had needing like 1.9v to hit 3200+. However perhaps the newer ones that run at 1.5v stock (versus 1.65v on the older ones) overclock better. Dont know about these 1.5v ones, as i stopped paying attention to non-mobile bartons over a year ago because the mobiles were better :p .
