I saw a seriously impressive overclock done with a x6800 last night on another forum, he was using stupid high volts and extreme cooling. 1.7v and vapochill I think it was but he was well over 4ghz.

Dont they come with a higher wattage rating even at stock

Fastest that I have seen is 5Ghz on the x6800

Ok guys, just before I went to the gf house I decided to have a go... got my Extreme running at 3.8@ 1.5v and had prime running for 30 minutes before I had to go, I know its not long but its long enough... but I think its stable and I can run superPi as well

looks like your in the same boat as me then, I'm gonna try for another week then I think I may sell the X6800 and go for a 6600 or less as they seem to be doing a lot better :(.

I think its just your board mate, wait to see what comes out

WHAT !?!?!!?, "usually there (thier) dads cash on top of that" are you on drugs of something, I work very hard for my money thankyou very much, don't presume you know who I or other people are on this forum just b-cos they own a certain cpu :rolleyes:

Me too... just because I want the best doesnt mean that I'm spending someone elses money, some people just get jealous and like to pick fights...

Nope not long enough I'm afraid...

should have left it running while you were at the GF.

You need at least 8hrs error free to be sure its a stable good overclock.

I know I know... but I'm not going home untill Sunday so I didnt want to leave it... I will more then likely run it on Sunday for a good 8 hrs

anyway back to my problem, I've just tried booting @ 13x on the mutliplier @ 1.5v and even then it just locks up on windows :( , no extreme can be that bad @ clocking surely, perhaps it is a mobo fault,

actually you don't think it could be the psu, I'm running a tagan 480, spec in sig + 2 hardrives & 2 optical drives

Tagen could be the problem you know

I'm running 11x343fsb @ 1.5 or 1.55

The only time that it locks up for me is with not enough vcore

I really think that it could be your PSU
