OK.. I'm starting to get suspicious of some people who hit these crazy numbers.
First of all, I'm not trying to start anything..
I see some of the programs as cheating because booting and loading windows is a lot for a system to do.. Cranking the clock up at idle is something else. -Like revving a car up in neutral. Benchmark clocks are one thing though, I can say I've hit 4g with this now, but it was nowhere NEAR stable... I've been trying to hit 4g for a while now, pssh I'd be happy with a bootable and somewhat stable 3.9g. I decided to try out the advanced version of AMD overdrive and I got to 4.002g no problem but the computer didn't like it and BSOD'd about a minute later.
Anyway.. I disabled that clock and went back into my BIOS and set everything back up again, but this time with less voltage to the NB and lowered the NB Mult to 10, raised the HT link speed to 1.2g... Here I am sitting comfortably @ 3.6g with no real issues.. Now granted 3.6g can be achieved on air, but I've also read that the board has more to do with OCing than the chip does... Which almost goes with out saying.. I'm on a 790gx NB board. Not TOP DOG, but not a slacker either..
-=Who here is using a program and who is using the BIOS??? I'll throw a poll up there just for haha's.
