Im also trying to get my settings correct. can someone help me some?
CPU clock ratio 9.5
FSB Frequency 200
CPU Interface optimal
Memory Frequency 200
Memory Timings 1:1
RAS 8
RCD 3
RP 3
CAS 2.5
Memory auto prechargeauto
AGP Frequencyauto
AGP Fast write ennable
CPU Voltage regulater? 1.65
AGP Voltage? 1.5
DIMM Voltage? 2.7
VDD Voltage? 1.6


I cant get it to boot at 205x11.5 or 200x12.5 running 2x256 corsair valueram pc3200, xp2500. I can run 200x12 ok. temps at idle at 1900mhz are 45ºC at about 50ºC at 2400mhz. want it cooler. running a volcano 10, lapped with 4x80mm case fans.

any recommendations?
 
wats your complete set up on your rig?
I've got the same board, but my rig consists of chieftec case with 4x80mm fans (50CFM), Antec SL-450 watt P/S. TwinMos PC3700 CL2.5 512mb stick... Audigy2 pro, Plextor 52x CD-RW, Pioneer DVD player (slot loading) 160GB Maxtor 8mbcache HD. ATI 9600XT 128 vid with twin 80mm fans blowing on top of it, and a Vantec Nexus temp/fan monitor.
Basically everything you have connected plays a role in overclocking your Barton or Tbred successfully. I've got a Barton Mobile XP-2400
running @v2.1core

You'll notice that my volts are dipping a bit low:

Especially, the +12v and 3.3v lines which means that I'm looking probably to get a better p/s here soon. My ram timings are 2.5-3-3-11... which has been working good with my PC3700 ram.
The H/S i'm using is the SP-97 from Thermalright, with the SmartFan2 (running full speed).. this is keeping my OC'd cpu @43c idel and 48c on load.
 
Try upping the vcore volts to 1.75v and see if your rig will boot into windows. If so, then try running a couple of proggys to benchmark your rig. www.majorgeeks.com has some if not most benchies to stress your rig.

power supply does NOT have the second fan in the bottom. yeah i know i need one.
temps getting into the mid 50's if I OC to 3200xp...want to bring this down.
I got it to boot up at 204MHz with 1.8v on the chip and a 12.5 multiplier, but cant get it to do above 204 on any speed. is this due to pc3200? really want it to run cooler at those speeds...any suggestions? oh yeah...I know nothing about ram timings, but if I follow any of the settings I see on this forum it wont boot...i just leave them on optimal.

thanks guys.
 
The two things I see possible problems with are your cpu voltage, and you your North Bridge (vdd) voltage. Both are slightly too low for the overclock your trying to achieve. Be careful upping to much though as your temps are already a bit warm and upping the vcore will drive your load temps well into the 50's.
While many people run in the 50's consistantly I wouldn't recommend it, as it could reduce the life expectancy of your chip.
