Nice job on the 2.9GHz, I wish I had the time and patients to do all that. Thumbs Up

Nice, likewise, I don't have the patience to work through it all...did a bit on some new ram, but not to this extent....

Should up the CPU voltage a bit and see if I can get it a bit higher....

Thanks guys, it's really not that hard, with clockgen and upping mhz ever few mins till it fails.

It's much faster than DFI-Street guide to overclocking says, testing every 15mhz with superpi, occt, 3dmarks, and prime.

As for the ram timings, I got them from the gskill tech. Worked like a charm.

Remember aslyum, your the one who helped me with first OC...but I was too impatient then to test to the max. I wonder now what my A64 3200 is REALLY capable of doing.
