My friend brough his pc round last night to try out some Overclocking on his machine (mine was used to check out overclocking articles online so we weren't flying blind)
He's running a Winchester 3000 with 1GB Corsair Value Select PC3200 CAS 2.5 (I know, not great for clocking) on an MSI Nforce 4 K8N-F (the one without a Firewire port)
Dropped the HTT to 3, set the memory at 166 and upped it to 222 = 2ghz without to much trouble. Booted to windows and Prime95 ran for 2 hours with no errors. The core is up at 1.48 - 49 according to CPU-Z
We're both happy with the result, temps are all fine under his Freezer 64 (38 - 39 idle) but I'm wondering if we can go much further with this RAM? Havent tried yet, but it's running up at 200mhz again since upping the clock of the CPU
Might be tempted to try it on my SD 3700 if the RAM can take it (corsair Value again, DDR400)
i've read on her that these chips chould make 2.3 - 2.4 ghz

The memory will be the limiting factor. I dont want to increase voltage to it at all in case we end up killing it. Likewise with upping the speed too much.
