I have a socket 939 amdX2 3800 that I've overclocked to 2.8ghz on the stock cooler. So far I've tested it at 1.3v for 4 hours with no problems and it runs at 60c. Now thats about as hot as I would want and am going to get a better hsf. However I wanted to see if I could get anymore out of it. I'm trying 2.9ghz and have tried voltage from 1.3 - 1.425 but orthos always fails right around the 8 minute mark but temps only go up about 1c - 2c.
From what I've read the X2 breaking point is between 65c and 71c and I figured giving more volts would net atleast a little bit of gain as long as the temp stayed good...
What could be causing it to fail???
