The Official Extreme Edition Overclocking Thread

[deltarealm]

Hello Kenshin. I have an asus star ice heat sink with fan. My idle temp is 37c and my load is 48c. Voltage is 1.6. No matter what I do it will not boot over 220fsb. I was hoping for more of an overclock. My 3e prescott overclocked outbenches my ee. And of course as soon as I got this a 3.4 ee became available for the same price.

Don't worry about it. The 3.2EE that I have will only 225 FSB / 3.6 GHz stable on water.
After 3.6 you will need a lucky chip or some type of powerful cooling.
All chips never act the same, even if they are the same make and model.
