Hi guys!

I'm really new in overclocking however i've just bought a AMD XP 2800 Barton and would like to oc it without replacing the cooler that came with it (will do that later cause know i lack €...).
I have a:
ASUS A7N8X DELUX
AMD XP 2800 Barton (think unlocked cause it's AQXEA 0318 and bios alows me to change the mult)
2*256DDR twinmos PC3200
Chaintech Geforce fx5600

My current bios setting are:
Mult: 11
Vcore: 1,75
FSB: 200

What else could i do??
If i have to buy a new cooler which one do u sugest for what settings? The best performance, the better...

Thanks a lot guys

Lower the multi quite a bit & test how high your RAM FSB overclocks, then make adjustments because higher FSB is better than raw MHz.

Increase Vdimm and Vcore voltage, watch those temperatures when you do...

I don't know how available they are in EU, but here, all copper Thermalright heatsinks are quite good.

Prime95 Torture test the thing for stability when you overclock.
