[iocedmyself]

Ok, to whomever asked about my 4400x2 toledo core, no i did not mean 2.6ghz. I meant 3.6ghz. I would not express my grief over it's frying if it was only a 400mhz OC lol. 1400mhz however is something to get misty eyed over. 1400mhz on air cooling is something to lock yourself in a dark windowless room listening to the Cure while you cut yourself giving control over to full blown emo mode.

I actually have a scucide screenie of it at 3,783mhz but i think it was at 1.55v or something obcenely high to be running without water. So if i was a little more obsessive i may have been able to get it 4ghz....which i was actually planning on attempting after my Phenom rig was built if the chip were ok. Ugh now i am sad again.

Anyway

I have not come across anyone else with this stepping, and i'm only about 98% sure that it's BPIW and not BPLW. Either way if anyone else has a stepping with either combo i'd love to know what the expierience has been. Knowing little about the AM2+ platform regarding OCing and seeing that people have had chips fry from increasing the RAM and NB voltages i'm a little nervous about pushing the limits.

Basically have just fooled with multi's at this point, both because up until about a week ago i was still running a 939 platform and don't know skite about the cpu/htt/nb multi's and clock relationships...which makes me a sad panda.

However i've managed 3ghz (200x15) at stock 1.3v stable through two full runs each in 3DMark01/03/05/06, Vantage, PCMark04/05 and one hour and a half PCMark Vantage. It was prime stable at 3.1ghz, though as i posted previously NB was toasty and it seemed a little twitchy despite making it through prime. I managed to hit 3.2 (200x16) stock volt but windows crashed within 5 minutes. Other then setting the ram to 1066 and enabling PCI-E Gen 2 x16 in the bios everything is untouched there. So i've high hopes. I also need to beef up the NB cooler a bit as the 53c idle doesn't make me too comfortable.

So despite my reading dozens of posts i'm still at a loss of how everything ties in when OC. So please, anyone that has any advice on Voltages, Multi's Ram timing for the Giel 8600 2x2gig, any suggestions at all i would greatly apprieciate it.
