Alright, I'm bringing this thread back because I promised some temps once I had a good overclock and officially called this done in terms of overclocking. I can't say that it is still, but at least I'm sticking with this for a while.

Specs and temps, as well as overclocks are in my signature.

I'm really disappointed in the overclock I'm getting with my processor, but it's a bad batch... I can't get it stable at around 3.8GHz, and I'm not an amateur overclocker. I spent days and days trying to break through that wall but this processor is just bad. Too much voltage to get there... Hell, 1.59v is already bad enough for 3.7GHz

All that said, things could be worse. The processor is the only thing holding me back. My board doesn't hit an FSB wall until the mid 500's for me, and my RAM is overclocking like a champ. Hell, it's rated for 800MHz and it easily goes to 1000MHz and beyond, and I have timings of 4-4-4-4 on it right now. Easily very cool at around 2.25-2.3v which isn't too bad for RAM.

Maybe some day I'll find that magical processor that'll give me a 100% overclock. But at least my temps are very good!

Also, I'm getting 13 seconds at 1M of SuperPi, and 13628 in 3DMark 06. And I haven't even gotten my hands on some resistors to do some voltage modding to my 8800 yet.
