[Matt222]

Can this chip be overclocked?

3.2 isnt fast enough for you!?! LOL...look @ me with my 850...wow I feel small

yes it can by upping the fsb. guys at http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20031230/index.html
went up 2 5ghx not that you have liquid nitrogene

hell yea it can be overclocked. you can probably get it to 3.5-6 ghz with a good hsf

 

[Cetamega]

thats 3.5 or 3.6, not 3.5 or 6.0.

And the guys at THG got it up to 5.25

If you manage to get 6.0 you'll have beaten THG. Anyhow, the thing is, you probably will not notice much difference in performance. Windows apparently does not run much faster on a 3 GHz then a 2.4 anyway, so why risk burning out your fancy new CPU?

yes you can over clock but unless you are doing allor of rendering encoding etc it is not really worth it for general use

I just blew a brand new amd 64 just from trying to get more and more it is an addiction but a new one is in the mail so no problems

i got a friend down at the mech who got to 5ghx mark way before thg did. He made this fancy contraption that had 6 h/s on it and seating on the cpu it was really cool. Couldn't get it past that though and it fry's after 2 days huh figuares
