How much could i overclock my AM2 X2 4200 (Windsor)?
i've got the Zalman CNPS9500 heatsink (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118223)
also i've got Artic Silver 5 on my CPU.
running on a Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe MOBO w/ 2 GB Corsair XMS PC6400/DDR2 800 RAM how far do you think i could overclock this w/ 100% stability.
This will mark as my first overclocking experience so i'm very cautious about this. i was previously looking into getting a X2 3800 Manchester and heard people getting close to 2.8 Ghz w/o water cooling.
I can only assume that the 4200 can do around 3 Ghz w/o water cooling and that's my current expectation (though i'll only go to 2.8 for a while and then if i need/want overclock more)
*my computer is in my sig for any other questions*
