here is how i sit right now - system is stable after a couple hours of stability test with OCCT. Just looking for feedbacks, suggestions if i should do anything else or am I pretty much all set?
system info:
amd720be
msi 790fx-gd70
OCZ gold ddr3 1600
corsair 850tx psu
xfx xxx edition radeon 4890
cpu temps at idle: 21-23*c // under load: 30-35*c
mobo temp: 27*c
nb temp: 37*c

Everything looks great to me. If it's stable and you're happy with the overclock, I see no problems.
my advice is, if you can push it more, don't hesitate to do it :)
btw have you tried unlocking to x4?

Since we are about equal, and the fact that equal equipment is still a variable of OC success, I would say your there. The best stable I have set is 3.552. I can go higher but it is the range of stable settings that I have been able to run with. Mine has been 3.552 for quite awhile with no stability problems. Nice isn't it? 2.8 to 3.6ish... got to love AMD...lol

Yes definitely is nice. Thinking about going up to a 955be.... :confused:

those temps are great..
you can definitely hit higher cpu speed/nb clocks with higher volts
I have pretty much the same wall on my 720BE
doesn't unlock, does 3.65GHz @ 1.4375v and not a peep more. Its about what I expected, but its not bad at all
Didn't really want to make a new thread, goign to see if i get any replies to this here first -
Im thinkin about upgrading to the 955BE, does anyone here know if this would offer significant improvement over the 720be especially in Flight Simulator X?
