Well Last night I was tweaking and cleaning my PC's and decided to take a look at SMx33's setup. and decided the AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 754 socket should be running much faster than the 1.8 Ghz stock speeds she has been running at. so with the stock cooler I decided to push her a bit more to see what she could handle. Well.....

SMx33 went from 1.8GHz to 2.23GHz woot! Now I have a small water system I am planning on hooking up to SMx33 but lets see how the small OC boosts her numbers in folding:)

after seeing that she is running stable today I might just take her upto 2.43GHz that would be a nice 630Mhz boost :)

    25% overclock. Nice work. That will definitely make a difference. Make sure to monitor the work units log. Sometimes a system will seem completely stable under an overclock but work units will fail to complete. If you see "early work unit end", you know you've pushed too far.

    I watched it for a while too, but I'm not seeing it anymore. Who is her favorite character?

    AWESOME Sledge.... SMx Project has begun the OC'ing and sounds like it may enter the Water Cooling phase too!!!

    Nice OC! IC_11 isn't running too much faster than that on water.

    I recommend a more conventional WC system than what I went with for IC_11, though :D.

    Sure, the vodka bottle and UV stuff was cool-looking, but a little bit on the impractical side. No drain hole, the fill hole leaks (a lot), and no way to remove the bottle. I'll have to redesign it sometime.

    Holy Crap! :wow2: That's one heck of a Barton OC! Go Sledge!

    IC11 now feels inadequate by 200mhz. :(
