Yesterday night I got my PC back and decided I'd try my first overclock ever on it. It's 2,2Ghz stock. Temperatures running 34 idle and 54 under load.




I could not get any more from this CPU. At a 11x multiplier I crashed with 250FSB every time. I bumped up voltage to 1.55, but wasn't too happy with the temperature (it was 44 idle) for the 250FSB and 10.5 multiplier.

Stock AMD. The CPU actually just crashed after a couple hours of Prime95 so I'm reducing it to 240FSB.

Congrats on jumping in with your first OC! Not bad for stock cooling on the CPU as many times it is necessary to upgrade your cooling solution to really push it hard.

After a 4 hour test CPU lost stability at 240FSB. I reduced it to 235 for now, I'll play with voltages later on.

overclocking is exciting. i remember my first time OC'ing i was very glad I OC'ed my quad to 3ghz but as they say once u start it, u cannot stop it. this is why my quad is now at 3.6GHZ Grin

just an advice, read, read and read Grin , watch your voltages and temps.

Good luck and happy OC'ing.

Usually, when you click on the SPD tab of CPU-Z, it will show the RAM info Smile
