I have a Abit NF7 Motherboard an XP2500+ and 512MB DDR400 memory. I want to run it at XP3200+

Will I need to do anything other than up the fsb to 200?

Also, what's the recommended safe vcore setting for this type of overclock?

Thanks

I think 1,65 is default.

Depending on your cooling though more might be permissible.

I've gone upto 1.85 on a mobile barton with thermalright copper block HS

Thats all you need to do mate 200x11, Just formatted my brothers pc the other week & its had a 2500 barton running at the same for the last few years @ 1.6v with no problems at all:D It does have decent cooling on it though

Thanks.

I've put a new Cooler Master CP5 Socket A Heatsink & Fan on the cpu but the system is crashing at 2500+ at the moment (it was crashing when I first got it too and was clocked at 3200+.) Need to find the problem before I overclock - any ideas?

All the fans were really caked with dust when I got it, graphics, cpu and northbridge - all cleaned now but the northbridge fan is barely going round, would that make it crash?

CPU is 45 degrees in BIOS I think.

How can I troubleshoot this?

Northbridge fan not spinning is not a good sign, it will probably crash if its overheating.
Can you not just stick an 80mm fan blowing over the NB ? You could replace the NB fan with a zalman NB cooler or something similar

Have you checked out the memory as well,run memtest to make sure its ok,just to rule it out if nothing else.

What voltage settings are you running just now mate ?

2v is the upper limit on those cpu's. with very good air or ~2.15v on water. as mentioned, ~1.85v tops on air, 1.75 is more normal sensible level

the chips are very resiliant so long as you keep them cool.
