My first OC

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

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

Guess its a good clocking chip :confused:

Meh

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

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:
