Why cant I?

Get better OC on 3200 E3,

Im usign asus sli premium, giving it max volts (1.55) and using 255 FSB x 10.
This is my max stable setting.

Also, would bios update help? Using now 1005

2.55 GHz may very well be the chips max OC. What are your memory settings at?

Same situation here...my max is @ 2550Mhz ... curiously it doesnt affect if I give it more volts or just leave it on auto....I hoped I could pump 2700Mhz out of my Winny but ... well... I have it running @ look sig

I've got a 3200+ in my wife's system and have it only at 2.4GHz. 2.5GHz fails Prime even with voltage boost. Not the motherboard or any components because I can hit 300MHz system bus by lowering multiplier. My X2 3800+ is only good to about 2.6GHz with voltage. Luck of the draw. Still, I feel lucky that my CPUs are such great values.

Just remember that overclocking is very YMMV and for everyone able to hit 2.8GHz with their 3000+ Venice, probably five others can't even get 2.5GHz. Just the nature of the beast.

eh, if you've got a CBBID, then you're lucky for 2.5. Somehow, I got a 3000+ winny CBBID (0503) that did 2.6 on 1.6 vcore.
