    My overclock | Advice

    Hey guys ,
    I have been running my new rig for about a month now , and its time i got to the overclocking ..

    My rig :

    AMD 3800+ ( stock = 2.4 ghrtz, 1.36 volts)
    2 gb Kingston HyperX
    ATI x1900 xt 512 mb
    Dfi Lanparty Ultra D
    Seagate 7200.10 320 gb
    Hiper type R 580
    Dvd rw ram drive

    I started out and got it straight up to 2605 mhrtz from a stock 2400 no problem with decent temperatures of around 48 At full load..

    I decided to take it a bit further..

    I tried to take it up to 2700 but i got a BSOD going through 3dmark 06 ..

    So i increased the voltage to 1.4 volts and it seems to be stable..


    Im running through prime 95 and its been going for about 2 hours and its at 53 degrees ..

    Is this a decent temperature, considering the overclock ?

    Could i maybe even take it further ?

    Your thoughts please,

    Freebird

    Temperature's fine, anything below 65°C on dual Prime is good.

    As for pushing it further, go for it, just don't go above 1.5v.

    2.7 - 2.8GHz is the going rate, any more and its special CPU

    Only the Opterons (early steppings) went to 3GHz
