Hey all

Just doing my first overclock at the moment.

ASRock 939 DualSATA2
3700SD
X800XT-PE

I've got the 3700 @ 2.7 stable, with stock volts :confused: Seems pretty good for this motherboard. Gonna try for 2.8 soon :p

Not really a thread for help, but more of a supprise to myself.

Guess its a good clocking chip :confused:

Meh
 
Ohh that aint bad on stock volts! I would see how far you can get on stock and maybe even add a bit more juice to go even higher!!!!!! :p

Sounds like you got a good chip. I had to raise the vCore on my X2 4400+ from 1.35 to 1.50 to get my 2.6GHz OC, whereas someone else on these forums have got 2.7GHz on stock volts! :eek:

Well, i've had to come back to 2.7 now, seemed it didnt like 2.8. Apparently i'm going to need a custom bios for this motherboard to up the voltage.. so i'll look into it soon :p
 
Pretty much the same as me :p 2.8 at 1.4 volts aint stable enough, there is a volt mod for the Asrock to let you go to 1.55v I am sure but I aint looked into that yet.

If you crank up the voltage that high you might want to consider a better cooler. No only does the processor heat up but so does the PWM ICs.

I dont think i'll increase the voltage until i get a new cooler methinks. I think 2.7 is fine till then :cool:

Very informative.

Temps @ mhz/volts might help man.

What?

I aint asking for advice or help, all I said was that the Dual Sata mobo only goes to 1.4 volts, if you want more then you can volt mod it. I already had my thread for oc this chip, I know my temps are fine :) Then someone quoted me saying I need better cooling but its the op that is running the stock cooling not me, sorry for the confusion....
