The Official X2 Overclocking Thread (Please Post Your OC's)

[ben rogers]

I can get 2750MHz stable on my x2 3800+ and 2800 seems ok, for general usuage but my temperatures are not good - getting new h/s/f soon - probably the best I can find.

btw, cegras, thats a good clock is it on stock vcore? if it is then you should be onto a winner. Some that can do 2.7ghz on stock can do 3000 on 1.5v or so from what I have read (toledo x2s) and this one has done 3006 before on 1.55v for benchmarking and it didnt lock up at all, it just got too toasty.

cpu-z verification upto 3217MHz - ac cooling freezer pro w/ 80mm fan - and super pi at ~3050 - 1MB ~ 29s

the above si soft sandra arithmetic benchmark was at 2806MHz - it says 2750 for a reason - because I boot the PC up at 2750 (BIOS) and set it to 2800 (Clockgen) as my mobo (EPOX 9nda) doesnt like 1t RAM CPC above 276 htt.
