I currently have my xp2500 o/c to 2.25ghz (11x205)stable. my cpu voltage is at 1.75 and my ram volatge is 2.8. my ram timmings are at 2.5-4-4-7. i have corsiar xms 3200 cl2 ram. My questions is i want to squeeze the most out of this setup, what would be the most agressive timmings to get the most aggressive overclock out of my system? and is it possible too shoot for 220fsb whith this rig.. my temps are at a cool 38c under load. also any other helpfull tips would also be appreciated.

Sure, keep bumping the fsb, test stability, up voltage, rinse/repeat. With modern cpus, mhz is more important then timings on the ram (see toms article). Yes, you could probably get 220 fsb out of corsair pc3200.

And at 205 mhz, you could probably use some better timings, at least 2/3/3/6, maybe even 2/2/2/5.

2-2-2-6

2-2-2-5 sometime leads to harddrive corruption

thanx guys .. will try 2-2-2-6 and whats the highest safest voltage i should go up too?

 

[Corporate Thug]

is it the XMS in your sig? use 2.8V

 

[badaphooko]

actually i meant cpu voltage ... whats safest highest voltage for a xp2500

ok just tried to up the fsb to 220 and got a black screen.. took it down to 215 and xp started but rebooted itself after a minute. so im now at 210fsb should i relax my timmings some? if so to what ? im at 2-2-2-6 my cpu voltage is at 1.75
(cpuz says its at 1.72) and memory is at 2.8
