kt400 and a barton 2500

[greyhammer]

I have a soyo kt 400 and now I wish I had an nforce but oh well. What results have you guys gotten with these boards and what kind of settings do you have. I intend to buy a volcano 11 if I feel comfortable that this will work. I've tried half heartedly to oc my 2100 and my computer just sits there and acts like its on but it does nothing and nothing comes up on the screen. thx.

I put a 2500+ into a kt400 mobo (FIC AN19E), and it runs just fine at 166fsb.

just to save you from another mistake, don't buy a volcano 11.

Im running a ABIT KD7-RAID which is a KT400 chip based board and a 2500+
so far shes sitting at 184x12.5=2300mhz 1.975v (she is the first batch of 2500+'s newegg ever got) as she sits she benchs slightly faster than my older 2400+ @ 185x13=2405mhz dont ask why but she does *shrugs*
you asked about timeings im running corsair xms 3200 (not the LL stuff) but at LL timings with no problems.
as for cooling ditch the volcano and get yourself a nice alpha,swiftech or thermalright and be done with it
only gripe with the KD7 i have is ABIT put the case temp sensor in the most screwed up place........right near the power regulating mosfets so it salways says i have a high case temp when i dont ! its funny to see in your BIOS a 107f case temp and a 86f CPU temp hope soyo did a better job on that so you wont deal with the crap
