I have a 2500+ running on an Asus A7N8X DX with a Volcano 9, and I can't get it past 2 ghz. If i try, the system wont boot due to "cpu overclocking." Any ideas? Also, if you have a similar setup, what are you clocking your FSB at and what multiplier are you using, and what Vcore do you use. I've tried a few different setups and nothing seems to work.

What revision of the a7n8x do you have? have you been been upping your fsb or have you been increasing your multiplier. Its possible its just a heat related issue. A good HS like an slk-800 or 900 (or even an sk-7) would probably buy you some more speed.

i have rev 2, the new one... I dont konw that heat is necessarilly an issue, cause no matter what I do the CPU is running around 48C. My FSB is at 200 and my multiplier is at 10.0x. I've been toying around with increasing both of these things, and neither seems to be possible.

I have to increase my vcore to get it to an FSB of 200. Try 1.75v
Barton 2500+ should be able to do 2200MHZ+ no problem.
Raise the voltage for your CPU may help.
We need more information about your settings. What RAM do you have? It can be your RAM or AGP/PCI devices cannot handle high FSB. In this case, you need to use lower ratio with slower timing on RAM and fixed AGP/PCI frequency.

The volcano 9 is an almunim HS isnt it? I had the coolmod version and it was horrible at cooling, try and change that and see what it does.

It still can. What timing do you use? PC3200 can run at 200FSB or a little higher at a reasonable timing. Play around with the timing a little bit.
AGP/PCI frequency get higher as you raise the FSB if you do not lock them. Some devices may not be able to handle the high frequency. If this is the case, then you need to lock the AGP/PCI frequency at low. The original frequency should be 66MHZ/33MHZ. No more than 80MHZ/40MHZ should be fine in most cases.
