3700+ San Diego

[TriedandTested]

I just got out of reading a thread in GD about This Week's Offers; apparently you can over clock the 3700+ to FX55 speeds? Is that true?

I've never really been an overclocker (ssshh) but do have one of these CPUs in my systems. Where do i start? Is is easy/safe?

Such a noobified question so please be gentle!

2.9 on mine at the mo which is higher that fx55 i think?

Really? And how'd you manage that?

2.9ghz is what I have mine running at. A FX-57 is 2.8ghz at stock.

It may be a little overwhelming at first but take your time and it is worth the read.

All down to luck and equipment but the general consensus is that most will attain high clocks.

I could get mine running at 2.9GHz, but I ran it stabily for everyday use at 2.75GHz. Lasted me a while with no problems at that speed

Running mine @ 260 x 11

Stable & cool
