Mildly overclocking my new X2 4200

[realscot]

just had a wee fiddle with her lol, taken the FSB up to 220 and took the memory with it. Seems to be as stable as stock, will prime overnight. Seem to be hitting a max of 44C on the CPU, but then it is the stock amd cooler and it's bloody hot in here tonight, 31C!! central heatings still on winter setting, god damn woman are always cold at night. Im not going to take it any further without a good cooling fan, no point in risking my chip for bragging rites.
Is the Zalman cooler worth the extra money over the Freezer 64? I would have been happy with the stock cooler if it was a heatpipe one like I was told it would be... I'm thinking OCUK should give me free delivery on a new CPU cooler when I order one, since they mis-informed me when I phoned in my order. (hint hint)

Not too shabby

I have the Zalman CNPS9500 and I think its great! It keeps my X2 3800 @ 2500MHz fully loaded at ~38C (although for a similar reason to you ... well the same actually ... its currently doing 42 !). As for whether its better or not - not really tbh I wouldn't have thought. Although it does look much nicer

Super PI'd all night and max temp was 46C it's actually sitting at 32C idle, well got utorrent downloading in the background and a few other wee programs (48 processes) but floating under 10% processor all the time. I'm tempted to see just how far my memory will go, probably not too far since there's 4dimms instead of 2 which I hear is the preffered configuration. Does anyone think I can change that "2T" to "1T" with the memory timings im running? I don't really want to do it as i've no clue about all this 2.5-3-3-7 stuff.. read the forum but i must say i'm still a bit in the dark.
