oced my 3700+

[Milan]

i got my 3700+ to 2.53Ghz and it idles at 28/29C i plan do plan to go further. well i just thought i would share.

also that is with an aftermarket hsf

230mhz FSB?? that's how i started out also. are you running a memory divider or is your RAM at 230MHz too. just curious.

anyways, is it the san diego core. it OC's pretty well. what motherboard are you using?

 

[Milan]

im at 2.6Ghz now and now problems, very stable, and still runnin cool. and no memory divider right now. im using the Asus A8n SLI Deluxe mobo

 

[molsen]

excellent. that motherboard rocks for overclocking and stability. have fun and be careful!

 

[Milan]

yeah this is my second build and i chose the asus sli deluxe again for those 2 main reasons. i may have to start a 3rd build just to try another mobo i already have an extra case layin around

*EDIT* at 2.64Ghz my idle temp is around 29/30C and it hasnt seen over 37C at full load

Be sure to stress test that sh*t alot. S&M is good for bringing it up to max temp. Prime95 I like for overnight stress tests.

Sounds like you have a winner!

yes mine is in a basement

 

[molsen]

yea you're in IL...

I'm in FL...my bedroom is 76-78º in the spring, summer, fall.

not the best for overclocking, but not too big of a deal

yeah and my basement is about 10' below the ground so its always cold. which is good for my comp/cpu
