x2 3800 Owners - OC's

Hi guys, long time reader, few times poster!

Been tracking this post for a while and notice the max is at 2.8Ghz. My 3rd year project, is "Enhanced Overclocking of Overclocked CPUS@. NICE :D I do a thermo-fluids theme and i've got the following rig to test to on.

X2 3800+
DFI Lan Party UT DR Expert
1GB Corsair XMS3500LL PRO 2-3-2-6-IT
Standard AMD Heatsink
Zalman CNPS9500 LED
Custom Waterblock for closed loop system using Asktec Pump and Swiftec 2x120mm Radiator.
Custom Waterblock attached to Nitrogen Vapor from a Liquid Nitrogen Cryo cooler :D
The MOBO is gonna be PTFE sprayed to prevent condensation forming on it and the pipelines in and out insulated

I will make it to the top of the chart past Scupltor! lol
Will post max findings in due course.

that table on the first page is way out of date. The best is 3.55ghz so far on the ocuk forums. (suicide shot)

@Dark_Angel - the cooler that came with my retail 3800x2 was the same solid one as comes with a 3000 so it should be fine although if you want to overclock better off going for an aftermarket cooler like the arctic freezer pro.
 
I know its not "proved" enugh for some of the more authoritarian folks on this forum but for me 4 hours of cpu stability test on 1 core and prime 95 on the other is more than stable enough..

I might try and drop the vcore a bit but seeing as my chilly1 mach 2 has 100% load on both cores running at -8 I hardly see the point ;)

Got to push for 3.1 now but I don't fancy my chances, seems to flake out about 3.05..
 
Mate thats looking awsome. My Chilly1 Phase arives in around 10days. So If my Opy has the Bug ill be getting my 3rd 3800X2.LMAO ;)
 
Nice BH5. :eek:

My chip has been sold now, it was prime stable at 3Ghz using 1.6v, but couldn't get it higher. I'll maybe look for another as I'm hoping for 3.1Ghz - 3.2Ghz before I can be convinced to make the jump from single core.
