The highest stable overclock I have had with my Barton 3200+ is 2427MHz w/ 1.8 Vcore. In fact I keep it at that for daily use. Some 3200+'s will go higher, but most won't get that high.
 
hmm im doing som tests atm will post what comes up wish me luck :)

what mem times u useing? and i tryd changing the multi to 11.5 wont work all tho we ave the same mobo/cpu :-/
 
this what i got so far Vcore1.8v 11x220 mem @ 2.5-3-3-11 stabel on 3dm01&03 runing prime from 30min or so now runing with no probs temp is 48 @ load
 
well here is a screeny of what i got out over the night will leave it runing prime for the day to and see

2.4Ghz is good for a desktop it is possible your cpu is superlocked that is why you cant change the multi - you can double check by running the FSB lower (say 166) and changing the multi to 11.5. If you get no post or it reverts back to what you had before you know your cpu is superlocked.
 
I used to be able to get to 235Fsb, at 11x Multi and 1:1 RAM [email protected]

seemed to be relativley stable....but i didn't leave it at that speed for much longer then 30mins....
 
i got it to an unstable 221mhzx11 but it crashed after it loaded windows, i can get it to 2427 with temps at about 48C as well, Pantner...what kind of ram were you using?? 235 is incredible
 
i was (and still am) using PQI RAM...DDR400, but it overclocks REALLY well! (i just wish my A643800 would overclock as well and as easilly as my 3200 did.......)

I could run the RAM at 2.5,3,3,10 timings too....

I was using a ThermalTake Volcano 12 and had idle temps of about 55C.....

Default timings: 2.5-4-4-8

It's cheap-o PC3200 RAM, but it will oc to 220. I added some RAM sinks, not sure if that helped or not ;) .
 
runing prime from 21 hors now stabel so far here is the setup status

CPU@11x220 Vcore1.8
[email protected]/11.3.3
temps@43/50@load now :( case@27

load on mem in prime is 920/920
 
My locked Barton would not go over 184 fsb until about 2 months after I had it. It was a mystery to me. One day i just decided to give it one more shot, and I kept going till I stopped at 208fsb. She's been running good at 2.5ghz stable (200 fsb) for 7 months now at 1.85 vcore. I keep her at 45c under load. As of this coming Monday, my Barton wil be replaced with my new 3500 A64. The 2500 barton I had prior to the 2800 would not overclock past 172 on a Gigabyte NF2 board , but with my Asus A7n8x-e I took the locked 2500 to 225 fsb+(2475) with corsair xms 3200 and 1.75vcore. The AXP's could pull some weight when past the 2.4 mark. I beat my buddies 3200 A64 in any cpu benchmark with my OC'd barton, but he's not overclocked.

i don't think you could beat him if your clock speeds were the same .ie, you couldn't beat my A643800 as it runs at 2.4Ghz....i ran my 3200 at 2.6Ghz and i couldn't get the same performance out of it....

I used a Mercury KNU400X-L Motherboard, which is a great overclocking motherboard, i miss some of the features that aren't in my new Gigabyte one....

your 2500 should've easilly got to 200FSB...but you have to lower the multiplier to do it....almost any 2500, 2600, 2800, 3000 (Barton, and in some cases T'Bred) can get to 200FSB, without increasing vcore or anything....
 
I realize the 64 is faster. That is why I ended up buying a 64 3500 in the end. It's just cool that I was able to get the 2800 for $100 and take it past his stock 64 3200. The only problem with your last comment is that the 2500 and 2800 barton I had where locked. You couldn't adjust the multiplier. Both of them overclocked well, just not on the gigabyte board I had. The 2800 I had would go to 2575mhz no probs, but I didn't like the temps. The 3200axp is already at 200 fsb so my guess is it's maxed out at 230 fsb or less.
