Estimate overclock on new system

Fenlock · 5 May 2006 at 13:52

Hi

I have been running my new system for 1 week at stock speeds, to make sure everything is stable and im happy it's all ok.

Possibly want to look at overclocking now, was wondering if you had any comments on what kinds of speeds to expect on my system. Anything to watch out for with the hardware?

I dont really want to push it, just get a nice overclock on the stock speeds.

Spec below

Cheers!

Hard to say without any info of your cooling

Sorry, there's a couple of 120mm case fans, and the CPU is covered by my Zalman CNPS7700

The case is well ventilated, i dont have exact running temperatures on me - but generally the case/system is running very cool (no noticeable heat build up after long running times)

Does this help? or do you need actural temperatures

With a bit of fine tuning to the ram timings etc i would imagine 2.7ghz would be possible.

Yeah most recent 3800 X2s seem to get 2.6-2.7 with decent cooling

Nice setup btw.
