3200+ Overclock

Vigoro · 4 Mar 2008 at 16:04

I know it may seem weird someone asking about overclocking a 3200+ now but i am running on one since my motherboard for my quad core broke :/. Was just wondering if you reckon i could possibly get any more out of me 3200+ than 2.7GHZ. I am running it in a Antec P182 and got a Tuniq Tower 120 Cooling it and is on 42 degrees idle

Welcome to the forums

Got a 3200 venice myself and it tops out at 2700 MHz too

How much vcore are you using to get 2.7?
When they stop responding to voltage change you know your reaching its limit. Mine hits 2.5 easy enough at a notch above stock but needs over 1.5v to get stable at 2.7

Had it benching at 2.8 but that was with over 1.6v and temps were getting too high.

What are your load temps by the way as idle temps mean very little.

Well i got it reading out at 1.68v on cpu-z

Think you have probably reached its limit there, especially with those volts.

Yep i would say so too

No headroom left there.
