should i push further , barton 2500 , currently 11x200fsb @2.21mhz
running fine , it shows up as xp3200 , 1.65 volt ,
its under a slk800 w/tt smart fan II ,on A7N8X 2.0 , also using 2x512 corsair xms pc3200 (2-2-2-5 timings )
temps are in low 40s C (40-42)CPU , 30deg C room temp (Florida summer) , running prime95
if so, jump the fsb or multiplier
how far before destruction ?
 
Go with multiplier now you've reached 200MHz. Your mobo and memory will probably run good an even higher speed but if you get instability then you have to figure out what is causing it (CPU, memory or mobo). And your multiplier should be unlocked to atleast 12.5x. You might need to increase the VCore too BTW.

Also I would set the 2-2-2-5 timing to 2-2-2-6 as 5 is to fast at 400MHz DDR and can cause data corruption. Amd this wont make any performance difference.

I love my Delta 60HP 7000 RPM fan that puts out more dB then CFM 😱
