Socket 949 Overclock?

PiKe · 15 Oct 2007 at 21:07

I've got an AMD X2 4200+ and an Asus A8N-SLI Premium and I was wondering what kind of overclock would be possible, if at all.

Current idle temp is around 40c and it loads up to 52c, stock AMD cooler as it was a retail CPU. CPU-Z shows the stepping as 1 and revision is BH-E4.

I have Corsair PC3200 CMX1024-3200C2 memory currently running at 2-3-3-6 at 1T.

I got my 3800 x2 to 2.8-9 Ghz so you should be able to reach about the same with your CPU if your lucky.

Not many people will have clocked 949 cpu's!

Google the stepping (the one on the actual chip eg. lbble0516)

I'm not prepared to take the cooler off (and thus breaking the thermal compound contact) to find that out.
