Best way to OC 2500+?

[Trechnu]

2500+ @ 3200+ at 31.5 idle, unsure of load (stock voltage)
NF7-S
512 MBs of PC 3700 corsair XMS
Radeon 9500 Pro with artic cooling at 400 mhz/ 340 mem
I'd like to push my processor higher as I remember clockiing it at 2.6 ghz the day i got it, but that was before i installed windows.
Does anyone have a chart for the ideal voltages and temps for OCed 2500+s? (in the 2.2-3.0 ghz range)
thanks

Well, since you've probably got a locked chip, the only thing you can do is up the FSB past 200.

If you're currently running at 2.2ghz (11x200) at 32C idle at stock voltage, you may have a little more headroom in that chip. I'd bump the FSB in small increments of 3-5mhz, and slowly start to increase the Vcore voltage to improve stability.

As long as you keep the chip voltage at 1.8v max and a load temp of 50-55C, you should be fine. Even though you have PC3700, you might also raise the RAM voltage up slightly if you are having instability problems.
