hi guys, i recently ordered a new amd 2500+ barton, with asus a7n8x-deluxe, mushkin lvl 2 3200ram, and vantec aeroflow. i m just wondering if i decide to try and overclock it, wut's the safest speed i can get it up, and wut're the recommanded setting.
thx for your help...
 
I saw that most newer ones go to 2200 without problems... when I got it I just lumped 200x11 and upped the vcore a bit
 
2500+ Barton: great choice: 2.3 on average, more with name brand power supply and all copper heatsink.

asus a7n8x-deluxe: good nForce2 with lots of extras. PCI locked so don't worry about squeezing every last FSB out of your RAM.

mushkin lvl 2 3200ram: shoot for FSB in the 200s

gradually increase Vcore for higher overclock.

Up Vdimm, remember FSB is more important than MHz.

Nice setup you got going, unless you own el cheapo deluxe power supply, then you'll have a problem, otherwise, it's looking good. Good luck!
