my overclock

got my athlon 6000 to 3.45Ghz now stable 4hours+ on orthos.

temps:

LOAD: CPU:47C CORE1: 48C CORE2: 47C

My question is as long as the temps stay below the AMD rated max temps:

Max Temps (C) 55-63

Can i just keep putting more voltage through? is there a limit to how much voltage it can take or is it just on the temps, i know there cant be much mor to be had out of it....?

also wen AMD say the max temp is 55-63 is it 63? or 55? lol?

I think the temps they quote are the temperatures that they are tested on but realistically, they can be higher. Although anything 65 degrees plus is getting a bit toasty.

this may help (page 31)

so in terms of voltage i can go on forever as long as it is cool?
Surely there is a limit to the voltage?

Thanks for your reply Admiral...

If the settings are there then yes but in real terms, i'd say no more than 5% on a stock cooler and 10% on a third party air cooler becuase of the extra heat that's produced.
