heh, i accidentally Oc'd my 3000+, i didn't think it worked because i had tried before and it said overclocking failed...so i was just goofin around and OC'd the son of a gun to 2,330 mhz...but it was sitting at 50 Celcius..so i changed it to 2100mhz, and it idled at 40C oh well can't wait for the water cooling...i'll have fun with that bizzatch.. lol

    holy shnit! thats alot of voltage man, i wouldnt keep it there too long without phase change or watercooling

    yeah i had on a total of about 2min. then turned it off and changed the settings lol...it scared me.

    isnt overclocking nice!, lol like someone earlier mentioned u need to get diff cooling tho i tried OC'ing with standard AMD coolers and it just does not work even if u have cool air getting sucked in. nice job tho

    Nah. It's still 13nm corse so they can take even 2 volt on air. Nice clock though. I just got my 3200 Clawhammer and i'm priming it at the moment. But i think i got a bad cpu though. Didn't prime at 2.5 gig on the first try on air.

    I just put a Kingwin Arctic cooling system, came with cpu and gpu block.
    It's not bad i OC'd to 2,500.2mhz and idled at 41c and about 54-56 Load.

    It is running at normal speeds now, untill i can get a better power supply, since my power supply fried shortly after i did the 2500mhz clock.. lol

    Put it back to 2330 MHz.
    If it's stable, who cares about the voltage, the shorter lifespan of the processor , the higher temperature :rolleyes:
    and so on..

    Right now it's currently OCd to 2,360mhz with a fsb of 1,872mhz. it runs pretty good, i figured out why i couldnt oc higher without locking up, stupid crappy ram i have just doesn't cut it, so i tweaked some settings, and i'll post the results when i'm done.

    eh...i changed my memory to 1:1 (ddr 200mhz) So now my memory is extremely limited, of course it was limited before also....but....i hit 2.43Ghz "stable" so far for now..i'll test it some more...but i'm using the stock voltage 1.568 :) Oh and right now it's currently sitting at 38c Idle. load looked to be about 48c - 50c but what do you expect, i have a low/mid grade cooling system....i'll get a good one eventually.. muahahahhha :bringit:


    EDIT: Well i guess it wasn't uber stable...it held for a while but my mouse would lock up....only the mouse...have no clue why...everything else would run but the mouse would just die. So i changed things back to 2.36@1.568vcore 5:3 mem. 333mhz and a FSB of 1,888mhz....have been running the 2.36 for hours running benchmarks on cpu, and making sure everything is stable...ran damn good too...
    about 45min. of Prime95 @ 2.36Ghz the load didn't go passed 46c (116F).

    I also found a 420W PSU in my sisters computer, so i switched it out and gave her my 250W psu.. :D eheheh. i'm bad... Anyways it's fine now, but i can't really do anything untill i get that new OCZ pc3500 (which was rated max for my board on the OCZ site.)


    EDIT this pic is with 2.43 Ghz, which when i tweaked things i tweaked htem wrong, and it was only stable enough to run little tests...now i have it running damn stable at 2.4Ghz 1.55vcore and memory set at 266, running at 320mhz...everything is stable..doesn't load above 47c. :D yay.
