    quick AMD OC question

    hi peeps, not overclocked anything in a while so would just like to make sure everything I done is safe. Not gonna get my core2 setup for a while yet so decided to play around with my current rig.

    stock 11x200 - 2.2ghz - 1.4v
    oc 11x250 2.75ghz - 1.45v

    whats the max vcore you recommend me using, dont wanna damage the chip.

    spec's

    amd64 3500
    asus a8n-sli premium
    2x512 corsair value400

    tbh very happy with the current oc, 1.45v is a safe vcore right? its slightly over the default.

    20% over the default, in my case is 1.6v your case would be 1.68v, but since i've never gone past 1.6 i'd say stay under that.

    1.45v is safe but always try to have it lower

    yea the ram is on ddr333 mode but running closer to ddr400 once i put the fsb to 250, its running ddr392 to be exact. Sorry about the picture no idea why it didnt come out normal size.

    thanks for the advice, dont think i'll push it any further, the performance boost from 2.2ghz has made enough difference.
