How far to push an AMD643000

[gamingslave]

I have an AMD 64 3000 and i was just wondering how far it could be overlcockers safely on the fan that is provided. Is it actualy wise to overclock with the fan provided or should i get another one?
Thanks

generally i prefer to not overclock on stock cooling.. but you should look at ur temps

aww u can oc tons on stock, not sure bout amd but my celerons got stock and its like up 600mhz jus push it little by little and watch ur temps, when u crash or windows dosent load or the temps get too high for u jus back it down a notch

Do not overclock an Athlon64 with the stock heatsink/fan.

 

[gamingslave]

why? (short and sweet!)

Cause you might burn it up.

what fan do you suggest, that is not too expencive. Oh and water cooling is out of the question (unless you know of a cheap one).

The stock heatsink/fan for the Athlon64 is horrible. If you want something effective, I would recommend the TR2-M6 (designed by Thermaltake).
