A64 @ 3.6Ghz in Bios... Aid me Wise ones!!!

I believe it will POST.

I got an Athlon 64 3000 DTR (that's a 1.8 GHz Clawhammer) to POST at 3.6 GHz on a DFI LanParty UT nF3 250 Gb. Only took 1.55V and was able to get through an entire pass of Memtest without locking up. I had the RAM set to 1:2 with the FSB.

I even had a video clip of it for the doubters.

Thing is, POSTing isn't that stressful. Getting it to actually run programs however... that's another story.

a dfi expert will go to 500mhz in most instances.

Yeah but it wont be able to handle it and thats my point. Setting it is one thing, running it is quite another.

Very few (if any) boards will run an FSB of 400mhz regardless of what multi you use afaik.

The expert is fine with that
